Nikon D600 24.3MP CMOS FX-Format Digital SLR Camera Bundle with 24-85mm and 70-300mm Nikkor VR Lens and 3.2-Inch TFT LCD Screen (Black) (OLD MODEL)

The camera produces stunning images. Having said that, the camera has a major flaw and Nikon was not forthcoming about it! Shame on Nikon! I had heard/read about it on the internet before I purchased it but Nikon assured me that the problem was only a minor dust problem. This was before I purchased the camera! I made the mistake of believing them. Won't make that mistake again! Hopefully Nikon will make it right. The shutter mechanism spews debris on the filter covering the sensor causing spots to show up on the images. Most of them clear away after several cleaning cycles and blasting it with a rocket blaster. The rest must be handled in post processing. I will send this camera back to Nikon for service but results seem to mixed on getting this issue resolved. Will post an update after I give that a try.

I purchased this camera as an upgrade from my D5000. It has more then exceeded my expectations. I work with a professional photographer on a part-time basis. I shoot different events (weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs..etc.) and can personally say this camera has allowed me to expand my role as a second shooter. I have also done portraits on my own and have had amazing results. I did a lot of research on several different Nikon cameras and kept on coming back to this one. When I was set on getting the D600 I spoke to my photographer, (who is good friends with someone who works for Nikon), and she got back to me and said her friend admitted that what I was getting the camera for on Amazon was a great deal and it is a great camera for what I need it for. If you want to delve into the world of full frame cameras and are serious about photography then this could be the camera for you. Edit: 12/5/13: After nearly 8K images shot I now have the spots on my images....NOT HAPPY about this. Luckily it's happening during the off season and not much going on but right before the holidays... Seriously?! Grrrrrr

I am not a professional photographer, but the pictures are wonderful that I have taken so far. My only problem is there is so much to learn on this camera and with all of the setting, It can be a little overwhelming. Make sure you have the patience to learn and explore. Make some mistake and learn to correct it - trial & error. I would definitely recommend this camera!!!
