Funny coz I'm sure it's just a different header, the data itself will be the same than the D600.
Can someone comment on the shutter sound and loudness compared to a D700? A friend has the D7000 and it is quieter than my D700. Wouldn't mind a quieter shutter if the D610 can do it. Oh and I'm referring to the normal mode, not the quiet mode.
I think bigger shutters are usually louder. Nikon didn't mention the D610 has a quieter shutter than the D600, they just added a continuous quiet shutter mode.

ya, D700 can wake up a sleeping beauty.... :bsmilie:...... quiet is not one of its strength....
My D700 shutter is much louder than my D610. The D610 shutter sounds a little electronic to me. Not like my D700 and D3s which sound very mechanical. The D610 is a really solid camera! Jus waiting on the RAW support.

It's a nice lens, have it on my D600, too.
I can't help drawing comparisons with canon's 17-40L and i think i've never been this pleased with a UWA zoom. Quite value for money and if you dont want to spend a fortune on exclusive filter set for 14-24 then needing a better head to support the weight, then i guess this lens pretty much is the choice. The lack of wideness bothers me a little though. I also wish for more wideness!
hmm change camp again? hehe
BBB Samyang 14mm or Sigma 12-24mm (and remaining can spend a fortune on exclusive filter set for them :bsmilie

Testing out Nikon cameras. Haha. No BBB lah... saving money haha
Thank you very much, everyone. It confirms my suspicions. I shoot in church quite a bit. I run 2x D700 at the moment and was thinking of swapping 1 D700 for a D610 because (in no particular order):
- Shutter volume
- Pixel count when shooting in DX mode to get more reach using the 70-200/2.8
- Video
16-35/4, 20/2.8, 50/1.8, 24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8, 70-300VR
Or should I get a lens instead - 85/1.4D? 70-200/2.8 is my current workhorse.
I'm about to depart Australia so I can get the D610 for ~AUD1800 after GST refund.
If you shoot church weddings much, dont you think a D700 is so loud its almost a distraction to proceedings?
Another reason I feel valid is that these newer cams have dual SD you can set to backup mode. Very unlikely both card will fail together. For this reason I always feel that D700 is no longer suitable for Pro/critical work as you are more open to card failure, which though rare does happens.
Just personal opinions.

Totally agree, but have been waiting for the right body. The D610 seems to be it. As I'm not a pro, the equipment changeover doesn't take priority. I think it's time I started charging for my work. I was once tasked to take photos of the pastor while he was preaching. It certainly would have been a distraction for those around me as I was in the 4th row from the stage, seated with the congregation.
Thanks for reminder. Yes, that is another reason to change to D610
Plus SD cards are cheaper and smaller than CF and there are SD slots on pretty much a lot of laptops now. I use a netbook in my travels and it has an SD card slot. So 1 less memory card reader to carry.Why does it matter where it's made? Are you stuck in the 80s? It's almost certainly made in Thailand.
The D4 is a whole different class. Look on the review sites like dpreview, etc for images and focus point charts
