Thanks Andy for the PDF file, the content mirrors, albeit with fewer options, the D700 settings.

The other day I was also thinking about creating a spreadsheet to determine what I wanted in a CSM (Custom Setting Menu), which by the way is available for D700 and probably other Nikon models. You can access it via the info button and a couple quick selections. Not as easy as user dial, but it does exist.

Anybody have an idea where I can quickly copy settings to a spreadsheet without typing in the data?

A few more from the D600, this time using the Nikkor 300mm ED F4 AF (non s version). Hope you guys don't mind, just thought you'd like to see more real world examples.

Thanks for more examples!!!

I sure wish you'd number your images. It would make commenting one a specific image a lot easier.

Nice images. Your elk and mulies image would make a nice cover shot for a calendar or outdoors magazine.

Ok got my D600 and been using it for less than a week. Give a couple of quick impressions. I have been using a D7000 and I like that camera. The D600 is an easy switch from the D7000. Everything is laid out about the same. I do like that on the D600 the mode selector knob has a lock on it so you can't accidently spin it. Did a few test camera to camera and I think the D600 pictures are richer and sharper. Nothing real extensive in low light yet but the higher iso stuff seems to be better out of the D600 but everyone expected that. The focus stuff seems to be the same as on the D7000 but my understanding is that it's the same exact system. While shooting moving birds it hunts a little for focus just like my D7000. I'm slightly over 500 clicks and not seeing any dust issues yet (the dust issue on the sensor has popped up in the internet reviews of this camera).

So far really glad that I spent the money and jumped up to FX stuff. While I really like my D7000 I think this is a better camera.

FWIW I went with the kit of the body and Nikon 24-85mm kit lens.

Great comments here. I am still using my trusty D80 (I do love it) but it won't last forever. Looking to get into FX mode and was thinking of either the D600 or 800. I have been concerned about the dust/oil issues I have heard about with the D600. I haven't seen any "official" notice from Nikon, has this issued been resolved? Some of the newer comments don't share that concern. Is the D800 that much better to justify the price difference? Your opinions are welcomed.

Ok I have the dust showing up now at about 900 shutter activations.

Sorry about that. I edited the post and added numbers to the photos. Thanks for the comments.

I have a very few small specs in the top left corner. I haven't cleaned the sensor yet because they aren't a problem to remove and are very small. I bought my camera right when they were released, so I have the earliest version.

I would have loved to get the D800E since I shoot mostly landscapes/wildlife, but couldn't justify the additional expense. After buying the D600 though, I seen that you could buy refurbished D800's for only a few hundred more, but I still LOVE the D600.

FWIW I have just cleaned my sensor, a little un-nerving doing it for the first time but now I understand the process and it's pretty simple (lots of vids on how to on youtube). I was aware this may be a problem before I bought the camera from the net reports. While I think Nikon should figure out a fix for it, I am still happy with the camera and think it's a good value to get into FX for a hack like me.

I just checked my sensor, and I have some spots concentrated in the upper left side. I usually shoot wide open, and had not noticed, but I shot a couple of HDR landscapes yesterday, and have a fair amount of clean up in post.

Bought my D600 in October. No spots on sensor. However, this is my second one. I had to return the first because it would not focus properly and there was a black fuzzy bar at the bottom of the images due to a stuck "secondary mirror".

I had this happen on 5 out of 10 images last week, and then everything has been OK since then. I had almost forgot about it.



Cody: Is you shutter stuck in place, or is it intermittent?

Hopefully it's ok I attach this question to this thread.

I'm having problems with the D600 RAW images in Lightroom 4.3, won't open them. I transfer into my computer using Nikon transfer. It works fine with my D7000. Is anyone else having this problem.

Mods if this needs to be moved let me know, not sure if its camera or processing fit this better.

No problem with LR 4.3 and Camera Raw 7.3

Sorry, Dee. I didn't see your question under your picture. I reached in and <gently> moved that "mirror" and it flipped up into place. It was a little mirror, BTW. I looked at the iFixit Teardown, but didn't find any mention of that mirror.

I took that camera back to the store for a replacement, as the focus was also an issue. I brought my 50mm f/1.8 lens along and the store associate confirmed the focus problem on the original camera and that a replacement camera functioned properly.

Thanks for the reply. I have not had this issue since that one time before new years.
Baseball/softball starts this week, so I will find out soon enough if there is an issue.
