Don’t Be a Guinea Pig

October 4, 2015 By Nasim Mansurov 176 Comments

Don’t Be a Guinea PigIt seems like releasing a product without proper testing has become a norm for some camera manufacturers like Nikon. You would think that after all the recalls, service advisories and lawsuits, manufacturers should be thoroughly testing equipment, preferably giving the equipment to real photographers who use and abuse their gear for a living, before trying to market and sell it. Nikon specifically has gone through so much bad press, that one would think it is time for the company to…

DSLRs To Catch-Up With Smartphones?

January 9, 2015 By Bob Vishneski 90 Comments

DSLRs To Catch-Up With Smartphones?DSLR customers have had a nagging sense that manufacturers were far more interested in having them upgrade their cameras than providing additional capabilities to the customers that already purchased DSLRs. Back in the days of mechanical film cameras, it would have been a challenge for OEMs to deliver upgraded capabilities to existing customers. Customers would have had to bring their equipment into a local shop or send it to the camera manufacturer to be retrofitted with new capabilities – a…

Nikon D750 ISO Comparisons

October 16, 2014 By Nasim Mansurov 18 Comments

Nikon D750 ISO ComparisonsI apologize for not being able to post the ISO comparisons in the Nikon D750 review earlier today. Unfortunately, the comparisons took a long time, because I had to retest everything several times. My first copy of the D610 had strange exposure issues, making it hard to properly compare it with the D750, so I had to find another one. Just in case, I also got a D600, a D4 and a D4s from Tom Redd (thanks Tom!) to add…

Nikon D750 for Wildlife and Landscape Photography

October 2, 2014 By John Sherman 150 Comments

Nikon D750 for Wildlife and Landscape PhotographyJust when my wallet was getting over the hangover from buying a D810, along comes the Nikon D750, a 24mp full frame DSLR with an improved AF-system and 30 percent faster burst rate than the D810. Both are great attributes for the wildlife shooter. Moreover, the D750 sports a new 24mp sensor that’s touted as even better than that in the D600 and D610. I always liked the files my D600 cranked out – could the D750 files look just…

Nikon D4s vs D810 vs D600 for Wildlife Photography

August 28, 2014 By John Sherman 82 Comments

Nikon D4s vs D810 vs D600 for Wildlife PhotographyAfter buying the Nikon D4s and Nikkor 800mm earlier this year I thought I was cured. I made it for months without a single sip of Nikon Rumors. Then I had a relapse. Thank goodness the only news was Nikon was releasing the D810, a camera I clearly had no need for as I like shooting wildlife, not lens charts. But one sip led to another and before I knew it I was on The Photo Website That Dare Not…

Keeping The DSLR Handy

August 8, 2014 By Alpha Whiskey 39 Comments

Keeping The DSLR HandyI have stated in a previous article that I probably will sell all my DSLR gear eventually, so rarely does it ever get used. Virtually all my work now is done with mirrorless m4/3 (Olympus EM-5). But I must admit to being glad that I brought my DSLR along with me to a recent trip to The Lake District and Scotland. And while I used my EM-5 for virtually the entire trip, canoeing on lakes and hiking up hills with it in…

When Things Go Wrong…

August 4, 2014 By Thomas Stirr 70 Comments

When Things Go Wrong…From time to time, as photographers many of us face issues with the equipment that we have purchased. It could be a problem with a camera, lens, various types of studio equipment, or with camera accessories. How a manufacturer and the selling dealer address the issue and bring it to resolution, or not…can have a significant impact on our continued patronage of that brand of equipment, and the dealer that sells it.

Canon 6D Review

July 21, 2014 By Nasim Mansurov 51 Comments

Canon 6D ReviewAlthough the Canon 6D has now been out for almost two years, I never had a chance to review it. Since the new Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art series lens was initially available only for the Canon mount, I requested the Canon 6D with the lens from our trusted partner B&H Photo Video. My aim was to review both, as I had been planning to review the 6D for a long time now. Ever since I reviewed the Canon 5D Mark…

Nikon High ISO Comparison using D600, D800E, Df, D4 and D4s

March 22, 2014 By Nasim Mansurov 56 Comments

Nikon High ISO Comparison using D600, D800E, Df, D4 and D4sAfter I posted my last article comparing the high ISO performance of the Nikon D4s vs D4, a number of our readers requested that I provide a similar comparison with other cameras such as the Nikon D600/D610, D800 and Df. Instead of posting multiple articles that show these comparisons, I decided to put it all into a single article, so that our readers could look at the side by side comparisons, or download the files to their computers for closer…

A Few Thoughts on Brand Loyalty

March 18, 2014 By Romanas Naryškin 215 Comments

A Few Thoughts on Brand LoyaltyI am sure by now you are all very tired of hearing about the Nikon D600. And I think it is about time we wrapped it up for the last time. This article has been maturing inside my head for a while now and the latest events in the interchangeable lens camera market, along with a couple of scandals that appeared on the news, have only pushed it forward. Only a short while ago I read a comment under the…

Recommended Nikon D600 / D610 Settings

February 27, 2014 By Nasim Mansurov 188 Comments

Recommended Nikon D600 / D610 SettingsOne of our readers recently asked me to provide my settings from the Nikon D600 / D610 cameras that I use for my photography needs. While at first I thought that it was an odd request, it got me into thinking that many photographers probably get lost trying to dig through the many menu options. Since I have been shooting with Nikon for a number of years now, those settings are very easy for me to understand and I apply…

Nikon D600 Service Advisory

February 26, 2014 By Nasim Mansurov 189 Comments

Nikon D600 Service AdvisoryAs you may already know, we have covered and complained about the Nikon D600 dust issue quite a bit here at Photography Life, and we were one of the first resources on the Internet to discover the issue, as detailed in our Nikon D600 review. Unfortunately, Nikon failed to take action and issue a recall to fix the shutter problem on the camera, only partially acknowledging the issue and then silently releasing the Nikon D610, without even mentioning a word…

Sony A7 vs Nikon D600 ISO Performance

December 11, 2013 By Nasim Mansurov 18 Comments

Sony A7 vs Nikon D600 ISO PerformanceThanks to all the camera and lens releases earlier this year, I now have too much gear in my hands and too little time to review it all. Instead of making our readers wait for full, in-depth reviews (which take me a while to put together), I will be publishing some bits and pieces from the reviews with my initial impressions. In this case, I would like to show you the ISO noise performance of the new Sony A7 mirrorless…

Nikon Quality Assurance and Marketing Gone Wrong

March 18, 2013 By Nasim Mansurov 229 Comments

Nikon Quality Assurance and Marketing Gone WrongAs I was writing my Nikon D7100 vs D600 comparison article a while ago, I had a lot of conflicting thoughts that crossed my mind and made their way to the article. I then decided to refrain from making the comparison article negative and rather move my thoughts to a separate post, because I thought that it would be worth the discussion with our readers…

Nikon D7100 vs D600

February 23, 2013 By Nasim Mansurov 201 Comments

Nikon D7100 vs D600Our last comparison will be to show the difference between the new Nikon D7100 and the full-frame Nikon D600, which we reviewed last year. Despite the price differences, seems like a lot of people are wondering which one of the two cameras to choose – the D7100, a cropped-sensor “DX” camera, or the D600, a full-frame “FX” camera. In this article, I will first go into detailed specifications of both cameras, then talk about main features that differentiate the two.…

Nikon Finally Acknowledges D600 Dust Problem

February 22, 2013 By Romanas Naryškin 99 Comments

Nikon Finally Acknowledges D600 Dust ProblemToday, Nikon has released a Service Advisory on Nikon D600 sensor dust issue. As you may very well know, the camera has been plagued by sensor dust accumulation problems ever since its release, which caused a lot of doubt among potential buyers. Finally, Nikon realizes the problem is very real and of concern to many. Here are separate links for US and EU customers:

Nikon D600 for Sports Photography

November 4, 2012 By Nasim Mansurov 22 Comments

Nikon D600 for Sports PhotographyWhen the D600 was finally announced, most of us got very excited about the new camera. Nasim’s review of the D600 and Bird Photography follow-up answered a lot of my questions, but I was still curious about the D600’s autofocus performance with sports. There are some similarities between sports and wildlife photography, but there are also many differences.

Nikon D600 for Sports and Wildlife Photography

October 7, 2012 By Nasim Mansurov 88 Comments

Nikon D600 for Sports and Wildlife PhotographyAs I have pointed out in my D600 Review, I am quite pleased with the autofocus performance of the D600. It acquires focus quickly and accurately in most situations and in my opinion works more reliably than the AF system on the Nikon D7000. This past weekend I had a chance to do a much more demanding test on the D600, photographing Colorado wildlife. I wanted to see if the Nikon D600 would be suitable for photographing sports and wildlife,…

Nikon D600 Review

October 4, 2012 By Nasim Mansurov 406 Comments

Nikon D600 ReviewAfter many months of rumors of a budget full-frame camera, Nikon finally announced the Nikon D600 right before the Photokina 2012 show. Priced at $2,099 MSRP, the D600 is currently the cheapest full-frame DSLR from Nikon, around $900 cheaper than its bigger brother, the Nikon D800. The camera is designed for any kind of amateur and professional photography – from landscape and studio, to event and wildlife photography. In this review, I will not only provide detailed information about the…

Nikon D600 vs D7000

September 30, 2012 By Nasim Mansurov 114 Comments

Nikon D600 vs D7000In this article, I will show feature differences between the new full-frame Nikon D600 (FX) and the older cropped sensor Nikon D7000 (DX). I have received a number of requests from our readers asking me to provide this comparison, since many photographers are considering to move to the Nikon D600 from their D7000 cameras. Please keep in mind that this Nikon D600 vs D7000 comparison is purely based on specifications. A detailed comparison with image samples and ISO comparisons is…
