Wow. As Roy Scheider said in "Jaws", they're "gonna need a bigger
boat" ... to haul all the D600s they're going to be selling.
The complaints are already coming in though. David "Strobist" Hobby is
puzzled by why they left off the PC sync jack, but says the 1/200th
sync speed is a dealbreaker for him. He feels Nikon has ignored the
lighting enthusiast crowd completely. Says he'll go with a used D700
as his next backup camera.
A preview I read says to think of the D600 as a FF D7000 (ie prosumer).
So yeah, they'll sell boatloads, but it will be to people who just
want the magic of the FF buzzword, but for no good actual reason.
The lack of a PC sync connector is easily remidied by an add on, and you
know I don't remember when I read a Strobist post where he was still
using physical sync cords, and not pocket wizards so I'm not sure why
he feels so betrayed. This looks like the camera a lot of wedding pros
and portraitists will be using.
