I have an update to the previously reported Nikon D600 specifications (new/updated specs are on top, marked in bold).
I also have two corrections to make - the D600 will have a built-in AF motor and it will not have built-in GPS.
There are also rumors that Nikon has invited some European resellers for a meeting in Casablanca on 28 May, 2012. I am not sure if this is related to the D600.
New/updated Nikon D600 specifications:
  • 24.7MP full frame sensor
  • Weight: 760g (850g with battery and memory cards), the D800 weights 900g
  • 3.2" LCD with 921K dot with ambient sensor control
  • HDMI output
  • Video compression: H264/MPEG-4
  • Full HD with 30p, 25p, 24p, HD with 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p
  • Viewfinder coverage: 100% for FX , 97% for Dx
  • The Nikon D600 will have built-in AF motor
  • The body most probably will be weather sealed
  • The D600 may not have built-in GPS as initially reported
  • ISO range: 100-6400 (with Lo-1 ISO 50 and Hi-2 ISO 25,600)
  • 39 AF points (with an option of 11 AF points), 9 cross-type AF points
  • AF face detection
  • Exposure compensation: ±5 EV (same as the D800)
  • The D600 will probably use the EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion battery

I'm still waiting for the D400, but I only have 68,000 clicks on the D300 I use as my main body, not sure what the back up D200 has on it. I guess it would be too much to ask to keep the same battery type as the the older bodies now that I have 6 chargers, sigh.

In order to introduce the D600 as a entry-level, full-frame, I think they have to keep the price point under $2,000. If they release it at the rumored price, they will cannibalize the D7000. And, if so, this camera (D600) will meet or even exceed Nikon sales goals.

That is pretty bold comment from NR which means that He received enough credible information to make a 90% probability and an announcement within a month. Nice! :eek:

I keep hearing that it might be released at Photokina, which is in Cologne, Germany in late September. Go to Nikon Rumors for additional updates. They even have leaked photos.

Wow that looks to be an amazing camera! Guess we will soon see if the rumor is true and see what new additions they make to their already terrific lineup.

Spoke with my favorite retailer and he felt he would have a decent stock by mid-late October. He stated he was purely speculating of a price around $2200. I'm not sure if he was guessing a kit or body only price.

Not to change the subject but speaking of photokina I've heard that there will be no film samples given out this year. Sounds like film is dead meat for sure.

I wonder which lens they will include with the D600 kit? Anyone heard?

The latest on NikonRumors is a price in Japan for the body of USD$2700 (215000Yen). The kit is estimated to be USD$3400 (270000Yen). That's giving a rumored estimate for a sold in the US price of about $2100 for the body. If that's true, it's nowhere near the rumored $1500.
