Nikon launches D600 lightweight full-frame DSLR
Not so heavy on the wallet either
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Nikon has unveiled the D600, its most compact and inexpensive full-frame DSLR yet.
The Nikon D600 features a 24Mp image sensor and the same Expeed 3 processor found in its bigger brother, the D800.
As with its pricier sibling, the camera's magnesium alloy body provides weatherproof protection, but its weight of 760g means this is also one of the lightest DSLRs on the market.
While designed to support the firm's FX lenses, the snapper will also handle the DX range, albeit in cropped mode maximising resolutions at 10.2Mp.
On the rear, you'll find a 3.2in 921k-dot LCD display with automatic brightness control and there's an optical viewfinder with approximately 100 per cent frame coverage and 0.7x magnification.
The Nikon D600 has an ISO range of 100 to 6400, expandable in both directions to 50 and 25600, respectively. There's support for 1080p recording at 30fps, or 720p at 60fps and a 39-point autofocus system for both video and images.
While that doesn't sound as fancy as Sony's new dual AF system on its A99 translucent mirror flagship, the D600 relies on conventional reflex tech and is far cheaper, coming in a few quid shy of £2000 when it launches on September 18. ®

Does not mean a few quid shy of £2000 in my book!
"$2000 in the US, £2000 in the UK."
Prices are higher in the UK because everything is more expensive in the UK.
Take for example, the Nikon D600. It's more expensive in the UK. See?
And that's why things are more expensive in the UK.
Re: Full Frame
Steve, I am sorry about being pedantic but when you put your 200-400 on the D7000 you only get 200-400mm. No camera in the world, as far as I know, is capable of changing the focal length of a lens. The focal length is a physical fixed attribute.
What you really mean is that your D7000 captures a "cropped" image of what would have been captured on a FF. ( You basically get a percentage of the center of a FF image). This in turn makes people falsely believe that Cropped Frame cameras have a longer focal length.
Think about it, the glass within any given lens, as long as the zoom is not changed during the exposure , are only capable of producing one single image. A FF captures a large part of the image, a Crop captures only part of the image.
