Nikon D610: an amazing full frame camera - even in 2023!

When I hold a Mirrorless Canon or Nikon it feels so delicate like holding a newborn baby. However, the DSLR lineup especially with Nikon are rock solid. The D7000 was super and the FF products are super.

[@tom_photo]

Hi! This is a good analogy. The cameras are getting smaller, indeed. Many people like it but the there is also something to be said about a nice large camera that feels good in hand. Kind regards!

I SHOOT PROFESSIONALLY WITH A D610. I IS HARD TO BEAT. FULL FRAME IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO, BEATS CROP SENSOR ANY TIME.

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Yes, the D610 is an amazing camera. It is definitely better than crop sensor. However crop sensor cameras are smaller and will accept more lenses. Kind regards!

[@73kudos]

Hi I have a D3300 (with some primes) and want to start into portraits would a d610 be a good camera to start into portraits with?

[@tom_photo]

​@@73kudos Hi! The D610 is capable of producing amazing image quality. However, it has a small problem when it comes to portraits. Its face recognition system only works in live view, which is clumsy. This Sunday, I'll post a video comparing the D610 and D750, and I conclude that the D750 is better for portraits. However, even the D750 is not perfect in that regard. If you specifically want portraits, you may want to consider hybrid cameras. I'm not saying that DSLRs don't work, but modern hybrids have an edge here. Kind regards!

[@Austinite333]

I have an Ex. condition D610 arriving in a few days. Had one before but tried out M43 for the smaller size. While there are advantages and disadvantages to all formats the dynamic range of the D600/D10 series is on another level compared to the best M43 sensors. And if you look at DXO specs one will find the older models like the D610 still are very competitive with the full frame Z cameras. As for size I am keeping things simple with AFD primes which are small and affordable. I cannot afford 2 or 3 primes for the z system. So yeah for under $500 the D610 is a hell of a bargain and still better than most of us.

[@tom_photo]

Hi Mike! I agree with you. The prices are coming down fast these days but the camera is still the same great performer that it used to be. Kind regards!

[@DarkMatter-vh5rd]

Bought mine back in 2012, still working strong now (as July 2024). Working as a photojournalist by day, wedding photographer at weekend, my D610 really really a beaten up daily camera, all the hand grip rubber had already gone, all the marker already blurred, and the body beautifully brassed or cracked since years ago 😅 Shutter mechanism broke once, got repaired, and still running strong! I do really like the color from my D610, RAW files are really impressive in my opinion. I started my professional photography journey from Nikon D80, D2Xs, D3X, D700, D4s then stuck with D610 for a decade. There's something about this camera that i feel so right, it's size and it's results just perfect. Depends on what you need with your own photographic job, but here's my most favorite things about D610: 1. Beautiful RAW files 2. Size/weight to features ratio 3. Weather sealed 4. Dual SD card That's all i need with my job, and this camera gives it all. Yes, D4s and many newer cameras is much better in all aspects, still D610 just feels right for me. About the weather sealed features, trust me, as a photojournalist i use my D610 from heavy rain, high humidity environment, monsoon flood, desert, earthquake, to volcanic eruption even my camera plunged twice in the beach and it's still working fine (remove the battery, rinse with fresh water, dry with a cloth ASAP, my 24-70mm instantly unusable but repairable 😅) If my D610 could talk, she definitely would ask for retirement 🤣

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you very much for this amazing feedback. I found it very interesting. I agree that the D610 has it all. If I could change a few things about this camera, I'd like to have face recognition that works via the viewfinder as well. Also, shutter speeds faster than 1/4000s would be nice. Everything else is really great. Your own story is a testament to how great this camera is. Kind regards!

I have a d610 that I've been using for 3yrs now. Prior I was using the nikon d5600 and decided to upgrade to the d610. All things equal it has been a reliable tool and has produced some really great images. I've paired it with the Tamron 70-200mm, nikkor 85mm, nikkor 50mm, nikkor 35-70mm and they all performed exceptionally well. With that said don't regret making the purchase.

[@Krst22ify]

Great review, I'm currently debating which FF Nikon to get as an upgrade from my D3200. I mainly shoot events and automotive. My D3200 is nice and is still a good camera to this day but I find it lacking in low light even with fast lenses, the continuous shooting is also rather slow. It also does not have that many features, not that I need many honestly. I was considering the D610, D800 and D750. The D610 is the cheapest of them, around 400euro for a semi low shutter count, there is at least a 200-300 euro difference between it and the other two. What would you recommend?

[@tom_photo]

Hi ArtistKS! Thank you for this question. Some people would probably say that the D750 is the best of these cameras. However, "best" means different hings to different people. The D800 has 36 Mpix. Some people may need this to make huge prints. For me this is a downside because the pixel area is the smaller. The D800 is also larger than the others - again a problem in my book. A real advantage of F800 for me is its max shutter speed of 8000. This is faster than the others and you can shoot bright primes more wide open in bright light. The D750 has a tilting LCD and that may be important when shooting close to the ground. None of the cameras are anything special for video. It is difficult to say that one of these cameras is the best for sure. For the same price I'd personally get the D750 but considering price differences and the fact that all cameras produce similar photo quality, I'd go with the D610. I'm happy with my D610 and I'm producing more videos on different aspects of the camera. I hope this helped you a little. Best of luck to you with your camera purchase!

Hi, great video. I ordered a D610 and received it two days ago. For the short time I've been using it, it is a great camera. I have used the D5100 for the last 10 years and did a great job. I wanted to finally get a camera with a full frame sensor and more features. Since my budget was tight, the D610 was inexpensive to buy. The camera I bought only had 8,300 shutter count, so it still has a long life span left. Looking forward to seeing more D610 videos.

great review, I think this will make a great starter camera for my mom who wants to join me for my birding adventures. just like people thought film would die I doubt DSLRs will ever fully die off, rather they will coexist with mirrorless someone will continue to make them and people will continue to repair them.

SO true in every detail except one very troubling one : The oil on sensor. I used my "brand new" D 610 for bird photography in 2018 shooting in high frame speed and had the SAME ISSUE as the D 600. I never shoot in high frame speed agian with my D 610 camera or any other (PSD I guess).

I think that the oil issue was not limited to the D600, I have a couple of Nikon DSLR and found the same issue on 3 brand new D7200, D7100 and learned to clean my sensors better than Nikon. Nikon only clean to F11. However the mirrorless are like dust bunny incubators. The D610 is a great camera for landscaping. Considering that the glass is the main factor in great results, at this time glass for DSLR models is very reasonable for second hand.

Good review of a very capable camera. Of note; Tilt and Tilt & Flippy screens were available on many cameras even as far back as 2004. My old Canon G5(2004) had both tilt and flip. Even Nikon Coolpix(s) had it before the Nik-610. For myself, those functions are essential for my often used near ground perspective.

The Nikon D610 wins in almost every category against the Canon 5D MII.

I have a later model 600, and there are no oil issues. Of course it was a decent bargain too. When manufacturers find an issue like that, they tend to fix it as quickly as possible, but Nikon then updated the number to avoid the reputation issue. Also, note how quickly the D700 superseded it.

Hi Tom, another excellent video. A somewhat unrelated question. Why did you choose the Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro VC, instead of the Sigma 105mm macro (or a Nikon macro)? I use Canon cameras, and I don’t have a macro lens, and I am undecided between the Tamron, the Sigma and the more expensive Canon 100mm L macro lens. At the moment I am tending towards the Tamron (F17 model, as I can update it through the Tamron console for use with mirrorless cameras.)

[@tom_photo]

Hi Alberto! Good to hear from you. I didn't have a very good reason to prefer the Tamron. It just so happened that I found one and I started to like it. Later I did some research that confirmed that the Tamron was a bit sharper than the Sigma. The Sigma had its own advantages and scored better with regard to some aberrations but the Tamron was sharper. The Tamron is also the most affordable of the three (the Nikon being most expensive). I'm quite certain that all of the three lenses are very good but I'm happy with the Tamron. I might like a bit faster focusing and would appreciate if the length of the lens didn't change that much during focusing - but these are all minor problems for me. Kind regards!

I just get D610 and I am realy happy but I dont know why I have vignette on him when I use Nikon 35mm 1.8G?

[@tom_photo]

Hi Dejan! Thank you for asking. Do you have Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G? If yes, this is a crop sensor lens and will not work properly in front of a full frame camera. You can make it work by selecting the DX (crop sensor) mode on your camera but then you'll be using only the central part of your sensor. You may want to consider getting a dedicated full frame (FX) lens such as Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G ED. Kind regards!

Stop it down a little bit, at f/4 it should be fine. I will consider AI-s lens / Voigtlander's, they were superior in image quality if you can manual focus.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

the only thing I don't like with the D610 (and the D600) is the autofocus system. I've used a D7000 for a little while (which has the same system) and though the single center point performance is "good enough", the moment you step in zone focusing or tracking, the camera just feel like dumb hunk of plastic and metal that can't seen to know what's in front of it. Not like it's unusabe for daily things, even a bit of event photography, but for anything that moves a little faster, the autofocus just doesn't track properly which is definitely limiting. And that's a shame, because the sensor is still good, the ergonomics are also good, it has double SD slots, it shoots decently fast and it's affordable. If it had an accurate AF system as well it could have been the best value for money camera on the market for someone that wants to dip their toes into paid work. And I think that's why the D750 (which is basically the same camera with a tilt screen, and the 51pt AF system) is still much more popular than the D600 today, even though those two bodies are so similar. I myself value color and rendering more than the actual performance. I also happen to shoot sports, so for an affordable full frame DSLR, my choice went to the D700 instead of the D600/610. But honestly I feel like those camera bodies get overlooked nowadays, they're still very potent. I've used my D700 for a few sport events, and most people didn't even notice the difference with the 24MP images that I get out of my Fuji X-H1 (which is the camera I generally use for that). The fact that it's also super solid and almost doesn't use plastic at all for the body is also a little pet peeve of mine, I like my cameras to be sturdy :D

[@tom_photo]

Hi Matthieu! Thank you for your very thoughtful response. I agree that the AF of D610 is not great. Since I'm primarily a landscape shooter I do not mind it very much. I typically photograph from a tripod and take a lot of time to focus. Thanks again and best of luck to you!

[@kociasek]

While I don't shoot a lot of action, I do take some dynamic shots with my D610 and my experience is much better than yours. The AF system has its obvious limitations but it's not bad at all in decent light and is more reliable and efficient than its counterpart on D7000 (I had that camera previously). Your problems may be due to the user error (e.g. too slow shutter speed) or may be caused by a miscalibrated lens (this can be adjusted to a degree in the body).

Hi Riberto! I agree with you. Now the dSLR prices are dropping very fast. But mirrorless is winning the battle. I even made a video about whether or not people need dSLR or they should go immediately to mirrorless cameras: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5Ctgo2KbcSBi80 . Kind regards!

My D610 has insanely good low light shooting, far better than even the D810, obviously partly because of the lower pixels

Hi Scott! This is, indeed, true. It's such a nice camera. Kind regards!

Are these images unedited raw samples or jpeg or edited?

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you for asking. Most of the images are JPEG and very slightly edited. Kind regards!

I don't want to be that guy but doesn't S stand for Single? I thought Q was for quiet

Hi! Thank you for your comment. Indeed you are correct. Kind regards!

@@tom_photo I wasn't sure to be honest, I have a D5300 and this is all in screen... I just ordered a second hand D800 about 5 minutes ago 😁

Remember when HDR was a thing last decade.

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. HDR is very nice technique in certain situations. Cheers!

Obvious question...got the latest firmware on it?

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Yes I do. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

D610 or D800?

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you for asking. In general the D800 is considered a more advanced camera. It offers better resolution, more focus points, better focus sensitivity, better shutter life etc. However the main advantage for me would be its max shutter speed of 1/8000 (as opposed to D610's 1/4000). The D610 is smaller, shoots faster, offers a bit better low light performance (thanks to less pixels) and might be more convenient (and fun) to use. The photo quality of these cameras is really the same. The D610 is also cheaper. When choosing, I'd pay most attention to the condition of the camera when choosing. Look at the condition of the sensor and find out the camera's shutter count. I hope I helped you a bit. Kind regards!

I've got zero interest in the new mirrorless stuff.

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. I think there are quite many people who think like you. Kind regards!

Nikon exchanged my d600 for a d610 due to the oil issue. My only gripe is the shutter only goes to 4000. I like to shoot wide open and find 4000 is sometimes limiting.

[@tom_photo]

Hi! Thanks for writing. Yes, I've also seen that the shutter speed of 4000 is sometimes a bit too slow. I have used an ND filter when shooting wide open but that's not an optimal solution. Kind regards!
