[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 372506, member: 9240"] Are you saying that the images [I]appear[/I] the same in the RAW output, or are you saying that they are identically codified the way the D600 and D610 are (i.e. if you edit the EXIF data in a D610 image it will open as a D600 image and everything works perfectly)? Post a link, because all I can find are folks like you and I insisting it is or isn't the same. My favorite comment is someone calling it a "tweaked D610 sensor". Well, if it's "tweaked" then it's not the same, even if it's built on the same platform. And if a D800e is simply a "tweaked D800" does that mean it has no merit? FYI, I'm simply quoting you and not mincing words or arguing with you or your point - I'm just saying that even if it [I]is[/I] the same sensor technology Nikon has made marked improvements in how they're using it, and that's the important factor here. To a person, anyone who has used it has remarked on the improvements (I've said before, without the D600 fiasco I do believe that the D750 would have been called the D610, and that the numbers are merely away of avoiding comparisons). And as such, given the modest increase in price over the D600/610 what you get for your extra money is easily justified in my mind - though not the kind of justification that would scream, "Sell your D610s and trade up!!", and I don't believe that was ever Nikon's intent. I expect this to be the death nail for new D610's, and we've seen the price decrease that is a portent of that, and I feel Nikon just wants the whole 600 series to fade into history (if only that it would). Regardless, it's a great camera. A really, really great camera. I give it a 7.1756 on the Jake Scale. [/QUOTE]
