And while fun is an important reason why we own our gear, there has to be that technical reason as well. It&#8217;s no secret I&#8217;m a huge fan on the D600 and the D610 is supposed to be the D600 with its issues resolved. Well, I&#8217;m of the opinion it&#8217;s a bit more than that. I have no insider info, just my experience shooting with the D610 this past week compared to my shooting with the D600 prior. It&#8217;s just a better experience with files just a tad sweeter. No, don&#8217;t have resolution charts or side by side comparisons, just the experience of looking at images giving me the belief the D610 does a tad better job of taking and producing images. Here&#8217;s a couple of examples that have me thinking this. This first one as it appears, is a sunset shot looking to the west with the sun below the horizon and the lights on in the hangar. I&#8217;m shooting with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/585343-USA\/Nikon_2180_AF_S_Nikkor_50mm_f_1_4G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI5014GAF\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI5014GAF\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>50f1.4AFS<\/strong><\/a> (being repl as of today with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1010026-REG\/Nikon_2210_AF_S_NIKKOR_58mm_f_1_4G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI5814\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI5814\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>58f1.4AFS<\/strong><\/a>) and not having a tripod and being tired, raised the ISO to 800 and went click. Simple, clean results, just a tad nicer than the D600 (field smoke always makes for great colors!). <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DLCTXHC0067.jpg?resize=585%2C391&#038;quality=100\" alt=\"DLCTXHC0067\" width=\"585\" height=\"391\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DLCTXHC0067.jpg?w=585&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 585w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DLCTXHC0067.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Went to the Houston Space Center and dragged the D610 around though I was shooting with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/936178-REG\/Nikon_26423_COOLPIX_A_Digital_Camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NICPAB\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNICPAB\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Coolpix A<\/strong><\/a> most of the time. Finally, at the end of the tour I pulled the D610 out and shot with it. I was looking for just a detail shot to zoom on in post to see what the D610 would deliver. Again, I was shooting at ISO 800 with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/918852-REG\/Nikon_2207_AF_S_NIKKOR_18_35mm_f_3_5_4_5G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI183535GED\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI183535GED\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>18-35AFS<\/strong><\/a> handheld. You can see for yourself the 200% crop and what the D610 delivers.

The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/838794-REG\/Nikon_25482_D4_Digital_SLR_Camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID4\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID4\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>D4<\/strong><\/a> is just not a &#8220;blend in&#8221; body but the D610 sure is! I have so much faith in it, I instantly put it to work on a project. At the end of the evening of the 40&#8217;s hangar party, after I&#8217;d taken the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/2013\/11\/06\/pushing-portraits\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>portraits<\/strong><\/a>, I was still looking for a way to get higher to shoot down on the festivities. That&#8217;s when I thought of &#8220;Betty&#8217;s Dream.&#8221; A couple of seconds later we were inside and through the hatch shooting. I took up the D610 \/ 18-35AFS and made the clicks real fast (I love the slightly faster FPS of the D610). I realize many would love to see the side by sides, charts and the rest but that&#8217;s just now how I go through a piece of gear. I take it in the field and use it where it will either fail or pass and in my book, the D610 more than passes. It delivers what I need to deliver to my clients and I feel it does it better than the D600. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DPKEFD2805.jpg?resize=585%2C391&#038;quality=100\" alt=\"DPKEFD2805\" width=\"585\" height=\"391\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DPKEFD2805.jpg?w=585&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 585w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/DPKEFD2805.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And in case you can&#8217;t picture popping through the hatch of a B-25, here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jakepeterson.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Jake<\/strong><\/a> going up for the shot after I got down.
