Nikon officially announced the D610 camera:
- Nikon D610 @ nikon.com
- Nikon D610 @ Nikon Imaging
- Nikon D610 press release
- Nikon D610 sample images
- Nikon D610 brochure
Nikon D610 pre-order options at B&H (check also the listings at Amazon and Adorama):
- Nikon 610 body only
- Nikon 610 + 24-85mm lens
- Nikon 610 + 28-300mm lens
- Nikon 610 + 24-85mm and 70-300mm lenses
As expected, the D610 is just a minor updated from the D600 with improved shutter mechanism, new quiet continuous shooting options, slightly higher fps rate and improved white balance (I did not see any official mentioning of an updated weather sealing update from nikon.com: “all joints are effectively sealed for the same superior dust- and water-resistance as the D800 and D800E“). The D610 will start shipping on October 18, 2013.
With the announcement of the D610, the price of a new D600 camera with 24-85mm lens dropped to $2096.95 $1,929.95.
