Key Advantages

The Nikon D600's 24.3MP full-frame sensor ensures exceptional image detail and dynamic range. Its EXPEED 3 processor allows fast image processing and excellent noise management at high ISO levels. The 39-point autofocus system facilitates fast and accurate focusing even in low light. Full HD video recording options make it versatile for multimedia creation. Robust magnesium alloy build with weather sealing ensures reliability in challenging environments. Dual card slots enhance storage flexibility and data backup options.

Limitations

The Nikon D600, although highly capable, has limitations such as comparatively slower continuous shooting speed at 5.5 fps, which may not meet needs for high-speed action photography. Its video autofocus is contrast-detect based and thus less smooth than some hybrid AF systems. The camera lacks built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for easy file transfer and remote control. The rear LCD is fixed and not articulated, limiting flexibility for shooting at unusual angles. Battery life is moderate when compared to newer models using more power-efficient systems. Additionally, some users reported occasional dust issues on the sensor over time.
