Message: <blockquote data-quote="macjim" data-source="post: 82202"><p>Yes, nice review indeed. To add to your comments: I have the Nikon 50 mm f1.4 G prime lens and the kit zoom lens, but I'm using the 50 mm lens as my 'prime' lens. I've set the camera to aperture priority as that's the way I work with my X-Pro1 but, out of the box, I hit a few snags. It will save any new user to check the camera settings thoroughly before venturing out to use in anger: I found out the hard way! ISO is set to ISO 100 as default and the minimum shutter speed is not set too so some of my first photographs were most definitely not sharp! When checking the metadata it showed me why... ISO 100 and an a shutter speed as low as 1/50th at f5.6! No wonder they were out of focus hand held! So I've now set it to a minimum of 1/125th as the minimum speed so that the camera will move the ISO up. Oh, this is with the 50 mm which doesn't have VR so a VR lens shouldn't have this problem. The size and weight is impressive for a FF camera, and is roughly about the size of my old D90. What I hope is it proves much more reliable that the D90 as it proved to be a duffer for me. It had an intermittent shutter problem where it refused to fire, and, as you'd expect, it didn't show up when in for repair! My other previous experience with Nikon was with the D50 — that was a nice camera but it too suffered from a known fault later on when the built-in flash stopped working, so here's hoping the D600 proves a better machine (nearly defected to Canon!) I've bought the ThinkTank camera strap V2.0 with blue trim to use with the D600. I didn't want to walk around with a 'mug me' nikon strap as I did with the D50/90's. once I get used to the camera, I hope to add my own thoughts to the forum but that will be a while yet as I'm swapping around between my X-Pro 1 and this camera.</p></blockquote><p></p>
