By that logic, if you purge him with fire then no more would spring up?

NewsD600 - an entry level FX camera from NikonmvpNish Sivakumar13 Sep '12 - 3:19

At USD 2100, it's not cheap but it's the first full-frame digital SLR that's ever been released for a sub-2900 price. If you wait a few months, you may get it for under 2000 off Amazon too!

They have a 600-dollar FX zoom now. The 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G VR. So for under 3000, you can get an FX camera/lens combo which would have been unthinkable a few years back.

What is actually the difference between this one and D7000 ( I am not enough into the subject to understand the price difference) ?

GeneralRe: D600 - an entry level FX camera from NikonmvpNish Sivakumar13 Sep '12 - 3:37 
The D7000 has a DX sensor, while the D600 has an FX sensor. The FX sensor is the digital equivalent of the 35 mm film format. The DX sensor is a cropped (2/3rd) sensor (relative to 35 mm). That accounts for the price difference.

I think I want a Lytro, too, but I'm definitely not bleah'ing this. This is huuge for film makers on a budget. It's not so much about photography.

Get a old D700 ... better in most aspects, especially micro lens focus adjustments which is essential with a fullframe camera that can generate thinner depth of field that display lens slight focussing imperfections..
 
Heck, an old D2(x) might be better .

GeneralRe: D600 - an entry level FX camera from Nikonmemberpuromtec120 Sep '12 - 6:43 
D600 might be a better choice than D700 for most poeople given 700 doesn't do video. Otherwise, better auto focus would tilt the scales (if it is true).

With any luck Canon will fire another shot at Nikon and we will have a price war.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS.

Rumor is that Canon will release 6D with the same sensor as 5D Mark II (or 5D Mark III).

Been a lot of anticipation since the D800 came out to see what they would do with this.
Still a little to expensive for me but can always hope Santa is good this year? Smile | :)

Sorry, you are wrong.. The first full frame DSLR under $2000 is Sony A850. It was released with an MSRP of $1999. It was a good DSLR (good color - though high ISO performance is not that great) and released sometime in 2009. It was a the scaled down version (less FPS, 98% view finder) of Sony A900.
 
Also when the last generations of Full Frame DSLRs released, the price point was around $2700. I remeber Canon 5D Mark II was $2699 or $2799. Same is the case for Sony A900 and Nikon D700.

GeneralRe: D600 - an entry level FX camera from NikonmvpNish Sivakumar13 Sep '12 - 4:01 
The Nikon D700 debuted at 2999 if I remember right. I am sorry if I missed the Canons and the Sonys. Strictly a Nikon guy here.

That might be true, but I saw them selling $2700 range within a couple of months of its release.
 
Regarding Canon 5D Mark II, it was released with $2700 range. I bought it $2699 within 6 months after its release.
 
My main point was Nikon D600 is not the least expensive full frame DSLR that is released.

I won't disagree, but it's the cheapest Nikon FX camera ever released. Not sure how many DX people will move to this one though, since buying lenses will prove to be quite expensive.
