I have an update to the previously reported Nikon D600 specifications (new/updated specs are on top, marked in bold).
I also have two corrections to make – the D600 will have a built-in AF motor and it will not have built-in GPS.
There are also rumors that Nikon has invited some European resellers for a meeting in Casablanca on 28 May, 2012. I am not sure if this is related to the D600.
New/updated Nikon D600 specifications:
- 24.7MP full frame sensor
- Weight: 760g (850g with battery and memory cards), the D800 weights 900g
- 3.2″ LCD with 921K dot with ambient sensor control
- HDMI output
- Video compression: H264/MPEG-4
- Full HD with 30p, 25p, 24p, HD with 60p, 50p, 30p, 25p
- Viewfinder coverage: 100% for FX , 97% for Dx
- The Nikon D600 will have built-in AF motor
- The body most probably will be weather sealed
- The D600 may not have built-in GPS as initially reported
- ISO range: 100-6400 (with Lo-1 ISO 50 and Hi-2 ISO 25,600)
- 39 AF points (with an option of 11 AF points), 9 cross-type AF points
- AF face detection
- Exposure compensation: ±5 EV (same as the D800)
- The D600 will probably use the EN-EL15 rechargeable Li-ion battery
Previously reported Nikon D600 specs:
- 5 fps (same as the D700, the D800 has 4fps)
- 2 SD card slots with Eye-fi support
- Build-in retouching images functionality
- Built-in flash with sync speed of 1/250s
- Two user settings: U1 and U2
- Fn button
- Auto DX crop mode
- In-camera RAW editor
- Built in time-lapse functionality
- Possibly with build-in HDR
- New external battery grip
- To be released this summer
- The D600 will probably not have an internal AF motor, which means it will work only with AF-S lenses (just like the D3200 and D5100)
- The price of the D600 is rumored to be very low – maybe as low as $1500
- Announcement before Photokina (September 2012)
- One or more low-priced f/4 lenses will be announced with the D600. For example, Nikon recently filed a patent for a 24-70mm f/3.5-4.5 full frame lens which seems to be designed for a cheaper FX DSLR body
