Nikon Fixes 95% HDMI on D600 with Firmware 1.01, Also Updates D800 and Other Cameras

The Nikon D600 is currently the only full-frame camera in its price range to offer uncompressed HDMI, but a huge issue prevented it from being usable — that is, until now. Nikon has just released a firmware update that corrects the HDMI output, and instead of only filling 95% of the screen, it will now fill 100%. While many were hopeful the update would also include a fix for the ability to change the aperture in live view, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Nikon also released updates for the Nikon D800 and a number of other cameras, so click through for more details and links to the downloads. More »

New Nikon D600 Firmware Update Could Make It the Best Bang for Your Buck Full-Frame DSLR

11.10.12 @ 4:59PM Tags : camera, cameras, d600, dslr, hdslr, nikon

Nikon introduced the D600 back in September, shortly after Sony gave us a number of new cameras. In terms of full-frame DSLRs, only the aging 5D Mark II and the new Canon 6D are anywhere near the price range of the $2,100 D600. Unfortunately, Nikon released the camera without the ability to change the aperture in live view. While this isn’t a deal-breaker for those with manual lenses, if you want to use new automatic lenses, it’s a real problem. Another issue for filmmakers is that the camera does not display a full picture in live view in order to make full use of recording the HDMI output. A new firmware update, however, may fix these issues and make the D600 a contender. More »

Nikon D600 vs. Canon 5D Mark III: High ISO Comparison, and Some Issues with the D600

09.30.12 @ 11:58PM Tags : 5dmarkiii, cameras, canon, canon5dmarkiii, d600, dslr, hdslr, nikon

Nikon has been steadily improving video quality in their DSLRs, but they have mostly lagged behind their competitors until the release of the D800, which had more resolution than the Canon 5D Mark III as well as the ability to record the HDMI output. The one area where the D800 was not as stellar as the Mark III (thanks to the 36 megapixel sensor in the Nikon), was low-light performance. With the release of the Nikon D600, Nikon is hoping to at least match Canon’s offerings (the 5D Mark III and the brand new Canon 6D) not only in video quality, but in low-light performance.

Nikon D600: Full-Frame DSLR with Uncompressed HDMI for $2100

09.13.12 @ 11:20AM Tags : camera, cameras, d600, dslr, hdslr, nikon

After the big announcements from Sony yesterday, we’ve got a significant one from Nikon, the full-frame Nikon D600. Another camera that had been rumored for months, this one was finally announced early this morning — and it’s really gunning for Canon and Sony. Though the D800 image quality arguably surpassed the Mark III at lower ISOs (at least in resolution and dynamic range), the price has been a little steep for a lot of users — not to mention that it has only recently began showing up in-stock online. Now the Nikon D600 can take top honors as the cheapest full-frame camera with a recordable HDMI. Check out all of the details below. More »
