![]() Will Vazquez, who posted this video above, also did a test comparing the Nikon D600, D800, and D800E:Īs you can see, the D600 looks like it is resolving a little less detail than the D800, but it's also almost $1,000 cheaper, and far more useful in lower light since it only has a 24 megapixel sensor, rather than the 36 megapixel behemoth in the Nikon D800. The Nikon D800, on the other hand, does not have this issue. Unless you have manual iris lenses, this makes shooting anything in an uncontrolled situation rather difficult. ![]() While they call it a bug here, it's hard for me to believe that they didn't realize the camera was operating this way when they started shipping it, and much like other Nikon DSLRs, you must exit live view in order to change the aperture. While this is still a rumor at the moment, it would be huge for people who are in the market for a full-frame DSLR for filmmaking, but would like the flexibility that the D600 offers over similar cameras from Canon. The D800 update will fix the focus priority bug (with AF-ON in Live View changing the aperture causes the screen to turn dark). The D600 update will contain a fix for the Live View aperture bug (currently you cannot change the aperture in Live View during video). Nikon is currently working on new firmware updates for the D600 and D800 cameras. Here is what Nikon Rumors said about the firmware update: A new firmware update, however, may fix these issues and make the D600 a contender. Another issue for filmmakers is that the camera does not display a full picture in live view in order to make full use of recording the HDMI output. ![]() While this isn't a deal-breaker for those with manual lenses, if you want to use new automatic lenses, it's a real problem. Unfortunately, Nikon released the camera without the ability to change the aperture in live view. Nikon introduced the D600 back in September, shortly after Sony gave us a number of new cameras. In terms of full-frame DSLRs, only the aging 5D Mark II and the new Canon 6D are anywhere near the price range of the $2,100 D600. ![]()
