[QUOTE="Loch, post: 109947, member: 12740"] I am having some serious issues with the Nikon D600. I used to have a Canon XTi. Then, I moved to Micro 4/3. Currently, I have the Olympus OM-D E-M5 as well as the D600. My problems with the D600 are: 1. Auto WB. It works so bad on my camera, I am wondering if I got a bad D600. When I shoot landscape I have to manually move WB to daylight setting. If I use Auto Balance I get horrible colors. Shouldn't Auto WB switch automatically to Daylight setting? Most of the time Auto WB is selecting wrong colors. The only way for me to get a good WB is setting it myself. My OM-D for instance has a fantastic Auto WB. I am surprised that my D600's AWB is so bad. Did I get a bad camera at the store? 2. I am having some sharpness issue. It might be the kit lens on the Nikon D600. I have taken 2 pictures, one with the OM-D and the other with the D600. The picture on the OM-D is super sharp. I can't say the same of the D600. I will post the pictures once I figure out how to do it. 3. of course, the oil dust problem, but that's ok. I can clean the sensor. I am wondering if I am the only person experiencing these issue and if I should simply replace my D600. I love the pictures I take with it when I spend time customizing everything: WB, exposure, etc. But when I use Auto settings, most of the pictures are not that good. It is kind of nice to use Auto settings when I need to take a fast picture. On the other side, the OM-D takes great pictures with the Auto settings but can't match great pictures taken with a full frame camera, especially portraits. Any advice or help is very much appreciated. I am still within the return deadline. [/QUOTE]
