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.
At least Nikon offers an upgrade path....
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.
I'd probably take one just for the viewfinder.
Will it work with my pre AI lenses?
I mean this quite seriously, a few years ago I bought the Nikon kit I
wanted when I was a kid. I sought out another F2s, and a 50/1.4, 85/1.8,
and 105/2.5, all contemporaneous with the F2s, and I got an older 35/3.5
from the late F series era.
If I could use this camera with these lenses, I might be interested.
Such is my curse.
