Digital camera Nikon D610. Nikon D610 review. Inexpensive Full Frame you should want nikon d610 premium DSLR camera

  • 30.05.2020

Remarque! The line of 1.8 aperture lenses continued - a full-frame AF-S Nikkor 35mm f / 1.8G ED lens appeared, very interesting, modern and powerful for its price, the test of which can be viewed.

And a new full-frame has appeared, which is noticeably more successful than the D610.

So, to start the picture of the camera itself:

As you can see, everything is quite usual for older Nikon SLR cameras of the latest generations. Who has already shot them, everything will be completely familiar.

Specifications will be at the end of the material, but for now let's start with what and where I shot, how I finalized it.

I took the camera out of the box myself, did not make any additional settings, as usual, everything is factory. This I mean that below there will be a link to in-camera JPG and NEF, which it is quite possible to independently explore for those who are interested. Since I myself shoot in JPG only for tests, I don’t need additional camera settings to get a ready-made picture right away, but it’s easy even for a beginner to do all this to personal tastes - there would be a desire to tinker.

I did the finalization, as always, in ACR (colors-lights-shadows-distortions, noise reduction on night frames), Photoshop (sharp with a quick mask, where necessary, and where - over the entire field) and FastStone (crops, file names). That is, it was done faster and easier.

Refinement on almost no frame, except for "clear eyes and whiten teeth", did not require anything more complicated than what can be done right in the camera, if it is set up properly. Remember that the Nikon D610 is an older amateur camera, and it has all the features of convenient and flexible settings.

Actually, her "amateurishness" determined where, what and with what she shot. In addition to the camera itself, the test involved lenses Nikkor 24-85 / 3.5-4.5 VR, Nikkor 14-24 / 2.8, Nikkor 24-70 / 2.8 and Nikkor 70-200 / 4. The SB-700 flash worked the same way.

The frames, except for those given for research "as is", are resized to 1600 on the long side, which is quite enough for understanding the essence and for printing on a 10x15 format.

Which lens was used is written in the title of each frame. Accordingly, if you are reading on a computer, then just move the mouse over the frame, the name will pop up. If from a tablet, you will have to tap to see a large frame and its description.

Well, one photo session was joint with a colleague of WingfirE, respectively, his nickname is indicated on the photos taken by him.

Contrary to my usual habits, I began to shoot a video - I will show it below. And there will be a link to them "straight from the camera." I shot it handheld, like an ordinary amateur shoots - when there is something to take off as a keepsake.

To the point: the D610 camera, in fact, is a shallow revision of the predecessor Nikon D600 ( , ). Now the oil does not get on the matrix, everything is in order, and a refinement has been made to get more correct skintones (people's skin color). This, in fact, is all that is important. A "silent burst" was made, that is, it is possible to shoot up to 3 frames per second with a reduced shutter sound. Maybe someone will be useful.

The rest of the most important things are the same - the same 24 megapixels on a full-frame matrix, ISO 100-6400 as working ones, expanding to ISO 50 down and up to 25600 up, and 39 Multi-CAM4800 autofocus points, which are located quite heaped in the center. I will give a picture of the placement of focus points for the D600 and D800, since everything is completely the same:

The professional D800/800E and D4 have 51 autofocus points in the Multi-CAM3500FX, of which 15 are cross points.

The Nikon D610 has 39 focus points, 9 are cross points, they are located like this:

As the experience of using such autofocus shows, it is quite enough for most amateur work, but for more professional actions, especially high-speed reporting, tenacity and focusing speed may not be enough, especially if the object moves quite quickly and directly towards / away from the photographer.

Personally, for my focusing habits, I also lacked the spread of cross points over the viewfinder area for working with full-length portraits, since I always focus on the face, which is not necessary, but still)) Many people solve this problem by refocusing, since at distances full-length depth of field portrait is already quite large.

But, in fact, this is more of a whim and a habit of working with professional equipment.

Let's start with the 24-85 whale lens and see how it performs at 24 megapixels with still objects:

Accordingly, the first is a full frame, and the second is a crop from it, where good reflections on the glass turned out. Everything turns out neatly and quite sharply. Sharpil shot without fanaticism, in the most gentle way.

All details are drawn quite accurately during normal handwork.

Below is a wired car. It turned out tolerable, but he was driving straight at Andrey, and there is no "ringing" sharpness.

In general, I shot quite a lot of architecture shots with a Nikkor 24-85 lens - I had no complaints about her work in this task.

Let's move on to the portraits taken by her:

There was enough light in the upper frames, the flash worked confidently, focusing was tenacious enough - for an inexpensive whale lens, and quite suitable for portrait work. The eye that was focused on has always been worked out very high quality.

The lens also drew quite a good background, but keep in mind that it was quite far from the focus point. And also remember its aperture ratio at an open aperture - 3.5-4.5, which is equivalent somewhere to apertures 2.8-3.5 on a crop of 1.5. I am writing this for those beginners who have not yet fully understood how a full frame differs from various crops, and that all crop numbers need to be corrected for passport values ​​in order to see what happens in real conditions.

Then we go out onto the stairs, where the lighting is rather weak, and the flash has to work much more actively)) But everything is also acceptable, the picture is quite successful without the need for noise reduction or resizing.

It was completely cloudy outside, you can see the sky yourself, and it did not please. But here, too, the small Nikkor 24-85 whale lens, which most Nikon D610 camera buyers will use, did just fine. Like the camera itself, the pictures are clear. However, it is understandable - ISO did not rise to noisy values ​​here.

Having worked with the younger lens, I put it, which had already been studied earlier and showed its confident portrait capabilities:

Well, everything is clear in the portrait, almost studio lighting of the third floor of GUM, but what will happen in harsh conditions? I go to the Arbat half an hour before sunset and shoot the session with Nikkor 70-200 / 4 until it gets completely dark.

I begin with this worthy piper:

I also quote the first frame in order to show the sharpness across the field of the frame in real conditions - below I put an unsized crop from the very edge - every word is read, despite the fact that the text is covered with a rather old and not very transparent polyethylene:

I noticed this announcement already at the time of finalization, because, of course, I was much more interested in how the faces on the frame would be worked out

And they worked out here, and then very worthily, in the sense of skintones (transfer of skin colors). In the entire Arbat series, I deliberately did not touch the ACR sliders that determine the color - I was seriously interested in what and how it would turn out. The sky was somewhere half covered with loose clouds, and the lighting turned out to be soft and correct.

And let me remind you that only half an hour separated me from the very first frame to sunset, and each next frame was obtained with increasingly weak lighting, and I was not going to put on a flash, since an ordinary amateur tourist never does this. Yes, and puffing at non-posing people is not particularly polite;))

I shot most of the shots in series, as people were moving, and I didn’t really stand still. At the same time, I also studied the operation of autofocus in real working conditions. A speed of 5 frames per second was quite enough for this lesson, the recording speed on SDHC 32Gb UHS-I 600x cards was acceptable, noticeably higher than on the D7000.

Almost all the frames of the series were technically acceptable, weak misses were no more than a quarter of the frames, which is quite good for such low light and a rather considerable distance to the object (autofocus illumination) - naturally, I tried to "not poke the lens in the face" and shot at long focal.

Here is a portrait of a cute girl at ISO 1100 - everything is soft where it is needed, and sharply where it is required, the smallest noise reduction, the first step:

I saw this staged scene and could not miss it:

Accordingly, it was also possible to shoot a video.

The sky is getting darker... ISO is getting higher... I almost always shoot scenes without a flash with AutoISO, so using EXIF ​​it will be possible to trace what and where it turned out. On the most notable technical features frames I will comment myself.

Here are colleagues waiting for their shots at the Vakhtangov Theater. And then the artist demonstrates his work to everyone. I note that on this frame ISO 6400, and almost no improvement was required - everything turned out well, that is, 6400, if you shoot correctly, is still quite working, albeit with reservations.

In the scene below, the dialogue with books, ISO is already 11400, the noise is noticeable, the noise reduction worked a little harder than above, but for an everyday frame or, as here, for the Internet, on full screen, everything is quite worthy and will not hurt the eye even when printing 13x18 from full frame.

Below 14368, the comments are the same.

And even below 12800 at aperture 4.5! So, even with whale optics, you can confidently shoot until full sunset - the last shot was taken just four minutes after its official sunset that day.

I will give a few more shots taken by Nikkor 70-200 / 4. First taken by Andrey in cloudy light:



Then my quite sunny + one video:



And back to the Arbat:







Here I switch to a lighter lens 24-70 / 2.8 - you can’t shoot portraits anymore, and for filming an evening-night city, you need a wider lens angle.

And it all starts with two videos. There is only one scene in the end, but the frame resolution on the first one is the same 720p as above, and the second one is already FullHD:

Shooting, as commented above, was very comfortable in the conditions of the tasks for which the camera is intended - complex amateur and household shootings. The picture is very successful, the noise is small and almost colorless.

15 "straight from the camera" JPG-NEF combinations for self-study can be download from here(644 MB, beware!)

Well, a little about the dynamic range - I specially quote below the frame that was taken at the time of adjustment, and Zhenya had not yet posed while I was selecting the modes. I show it because I pulled it out of a frame that was underexposed by 2 stops, that is, almost black. It was interesting to check the dynamic range of the matrix. Everything turned out quite acceptable, for domestic purposes - for sure. This frame is in the archive, which you can download and try to experiment with it yourself.

Well, the final touch to autofocus. Here is the same frame with the piper, full, to the crop

Accordingly, the frame had to be thoroughly cut from above so that the talking couple looked harmonious, and not with their heads in the center.

The video camera shoots quite well, I can only complain about the hands of the operator)) Still, I am a photographer, and I did not buy myself a special body kit for serious video filming.

Well, I’ll note again that I didn’t have to mess around with getting the right skin color and the colors of the picture in general - here, as promised, everything is done soundly and conveniently for fans.

I was wondering if I could buy it for myself - I personally can’t. When I work on commission, I usually have to shoot non-posing, moving people in poor lighting conditions, and I am not satisfied with the junior 39-point amateur autofocus in this camera. But only he - everything else in the camera is very good, and those photographers who want to use it professionally will receive a powerful and good tool for many work tasks.

Well, for advanced amateurs I don’t see any restrictions at all, which is exemplified both by shots with a simple but successful Nikkor 24-85 / 3.5-4.5 VR whale lens, and with professional ones. It was not possible to take the Nikkor 16-35/4 and Nikkor 24-120/4 for the test - it seems to me that for those who want to be deader, but not very expensive, a set of "fours" will be an interesting and convenient solution.

Thanks to those who have read

Well, quite sweet:

In addition, the body of the Nikon D610 is perfectly protected from moisture and dust. The location of all rubber pads is the same as in the D600. You should not check the waterproofness of the camera in the pool, but you can safely shoot in the rain and snow. Just do not forget that the lens must also have an appropriate degree of protection - not all "glasses" in the Nikon collection can boast of this.

Display, viewfinder, interface

An additional display pleases not only with a pleasant green backlight, but also with information content. In this parameter, it surpasses the similar screen in Canon cameras.

The software interface will not be new, perhaps, to anyone who has ever held any Nikon DSLR in their hands. In its unchanged form, the menu migrated from the Nikon D600, and there was simply no reason for the changes. Here we have six main sections - the playback mode menu, photo and video shooting mode settings, a set of user settings, a general settings menu, an image processing menu, and an arbitrary user menu. Menu items are also provided with fairly detailed tips, and Russification is one of the most competent and understandable.

INTRODUCTION

Nikon D610 appeared on the market a long time ago, replacing D600. But it remains to this day one of the very few full-frame professional cameras. Moreover, in fact, it was “work on the mistakes” - replacing the problematic shutter mechanism, which actively collected dirt, and there were very few innovations compared to the 600th:

  • New shutter mechanism (actually what the index was updated for);
  • Added Qc silent continuous shooting mode at 3fps;
  • Reworked white balance;
  • The maximum shooting speed has increased from 5.5 to 6 frames per second.

To date Nikon D610 is the most affordable full-frame SLR camera. The closest "main competitor" in the face of Canon EOS 6D is slightly more expensive (prices were compared on Hotline.ua), while the characteristics are also a certain parity - each has its pluses and minuses.

APPEARANCE and DESCRIPTION Nikon D610

D610 is an advanced amateur DSLR in a classic form factor. All controls are much closer to cameras with a 4-digit designation (D5300, D7100) and differ from professional Nikon D4s.

The case is grippy, durable, without backlash and other "roughness". Naturally, the camera is not light and rather large (compared to non-full-frame counterparts and mirrorless cameras). At the same time, in contrast to the same D800/D810, the case is only half a metal structure, the front of the camera is plastic. And by the way, the D610 on this moment Nikon's only full-frame camera built outside of Japan.

From convenient - the usual (for an amateur) dial for switching shooting modes with a "cherished green icon" AUTO and a set of automatic presets - SCENE. For me, these modes are useless, but they save a lot of nerves when you need to give the camera to a person far from photography, without doing his / her theoretical photo training. In addition, I am glad that this very disk is blocked from accidental scrolling with a key. As, however, the wheel surrounding it for selecting the shutter operating modes is also blocked - which is also convenient and protects nerve cells.

Of the features - mode Qc, which allows you to shoot a "silent burst" at a speed of 3 frames / sec. The sound from his work is really muffled, so that the camera can be taken to a report where you can’t draw attention to yourself. There are no complaints about the rest of the "scatter" of buttons and controls either, everything is familiar and as it should be. From nit-picking - I would still share the buttons AF-L/AE-L. It is clear that this is an amateur camera, but on the other hand there is plenty of space on the body and nothing prevented them from being placed side by side, and not combined into one.

It is also worth noting the dust / moisture protection of the body, so I used the camera (with an AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED lens, also protected) with a clear conscience even in drizzling rain without fear for its “health”.

Screen D610- 3.2 inches, it is, of course, not touch and not swivel. And if seasoned professionals may not need such a “body kit”, then mere mortals really lack it. Shooting from the floor, like shooting from the crowd - holding the camera above your head - could be much more convenient.

It seems that either the dissatisfied grumbling of users, or the pleas were heard, and in the later screen is already rotary.

At D610 huge chic and very bright viewfinder with 100% frame coverage and 0.7x magnification. In addition to the standard shooting parameters, you can display a digital level and a digital grid on it. It is very convenient to have a second monochrome display - all information is always in sight.

SPECIFICATIONS and FUNCTIONALITY Nikon D610

The camera has an autofocus module - Nikon Multi-CAM4800 with TTL phase detection and 39 focus points, including 9 cross-shaped ones. You can set the operating modes to display 11 or 39 points, you can set the zone focus to one, 9, 21 and 39 points. Moreover, 7 central cross sensors can focus with lenses with aperture less than F / 8, which makes it possible to focus in very low light conditions. He (the module), with minor processing, migrated from the "crop segment", respectively, the main disadvantage is a small frame coverage - in fact, only the central part.

Yes, the speed of his work did not cause any complaints, and to “catch” the rushing high speed the car was no problem. But now, if you turn on tracking autofocus, then the coverage area was no longer enough ... I would like the location of phase sensors throughout the frame.

In mode live view only contrast focusing works, and it is very slow. In addition, the camera does not have any assistive functions for manual focusing in mode. live view- no focus peaking, no zebra. The only thing is an increase in the focus area, with an approximation of up to 16 times. Taking into account amateur positioning, it would be possible to add some of the "assistants".

CONCLUSIONS:

Nikon D610- an excellent full-frame "SLR", which, like all cameras Nikon equipped with a “screwdriver” necessary for normal operation AF- lenses and supports the entire fleet of old manual optics for bayonet F. For the "advanced" amateur there is the usual convenient control. The professional who needs a camera that is not as heavy and bulky as D810 or D4S, will appreciate the excellent picture quality, low noise and wide dynamic range, in other words - all the advantages of a classic full-frame SLR camera.

Nikon D610 is absolutely the same gorgeous FX camera as its predecessor D600, but, nevertheless, it has one important fix.

It's a fix, not an improvement. In the D610, the shutter was replaced, which became a little faster, literally by half a frame per second (6 frames / s), but as Nikon themselves say, the problem with spots on the matrix from shutter lubricant has been solved. To be honest, I personally have not observed this problem before, although it may just be lucky. But there are a number of people who see these spots. In any case, regardless of the model, if you have something with the camera, it is better to first contact official service, and only then build conspiracy theories. More often than not, it's not the camera's fault.

Since the D610 and D600 are otherwise identical, there is no point in comparing them. I will compare with something else, and you will have the opportunity to compare reviews of different authors of almost the same camera to make it more interesting.

In terms of dimensions and capabilities, the D610 is closer to the old Nikon D700, only it is noticeably lighter. But to be more precise, it's more like a D7100 with an FX sensor. Even the autofocus module is similar to the D7100. Only if on the D7100 / D7000, due to the size of the matrix, the autofocus points are more or less distributed over the frame, then on a larger frame it seems that all the points are in a bunch in the center, and there is emptiness at the edges:

There are even theorists who argue, they say, how inconvenient and worthless it is to insert a module from a DX camera into a camera of this level. Personally, I don’t join these comrades, because there are not enough points for photographing sports on the D7100, but for everything else the D610 is more than enough. As far as sports and fast moving kids are concerned, ideally the AF areas should be distributed across the entire screen, similar to mirrorless cameras, only those focus very slowly, but we need to quickly. On the other hand, on the D610 you will have a lot of sharp shots with the subject in the center ;-) But the D610 has no problems with focusing speed, even in moderate lighting.

However, it seemed to me that when it is completely dark, the autofocus on the D610 simply goes blind and you can’t do without autofocus illumination. I don’t remember that the D700 had similar problems in the same situations. In other words, when it's time to use the flash, the autofocus on the D610 will need help too.

As for the flash, it is there and it's very good. In this regard, the D610 is great for travel, if you are not confused by the size and weight of FX lenses. I would not want to take a camera without a built-in flash with me on a trip, since I would definitely have to carry some other junk on myself. A flash in everyday life is needed much more often than it seems to some, even built-in. Here, for example, the option without flash:

And this is the same, but with built-in flash, find 10 differences:

Of course, you will not do serious portraits, as I did in haste, but take special lighting equipment and then at least do the toning. But to understand why the built-in flash is important, this example is enough.

At the same time, the maximum flash sync speed decreased slightly compared to the D700 - only 1/200 and 1/250 in FP-sync mode. For those who like to click with a flash in clear weather, you will have to get a neutral filter and experience some inconvenience. In general, in clear weather without a polarizing filter, do not even think about going out. By the way, a polarizing filter can be used as a weak neutral, as it reduces the exposure by 2-3 stops, depending on the model.

The built-in flash of the D610 has one very unpleasant moment - during recharging, you cannot take pictures at all, you have to wait 3-4 seconds. On older models, you take a picture anyway, even if the flash is not ready. Better Frame without a flash than to sit and cuckoo for several seconds in a row.

The built-in flash of the D610 can also be used in command mode, as on all other serious cameras, making it possible to use i-TTL and remotely control the power of external flashes by group.

What else I liked:

User settings

Very convenient modes U1 and U2 are right on the wheel on the left, like on the D600 and D7000 / D7100. All camera settings, including autofocus and metering settings, can be saved to these modes and recalled instantly. I prefer to save settings for landscapes in U1, as I shoot them most often, and U2 - portraits. In other modes P, S, A, M, I do all sorts of experiments. I would also like to have U3 and U4 instead of stupid Auto and Scene. Scene, I don’t understand for whom at all, and the green Auto mode is the same P, only the flash automatically jumps out. If you give the camera to a beginner, the P mode does a great job, and the beginner will take wonderful shots even in difficult conditions. Personally, I mostly shoot in P.

HDR

The Nikon D610 has a fantastic HDR mode (high dynamic range, although in fact the camera narrows it, such a paradox). Once you try this mode, you will never shoot without HDR again, trust me, I don’t shoot without HDR in the evening anymore. This mode takes 2 shots with different exposures and stitches them into one, keeping very bright and very dark areas as much as possible. HDR only works when shooting in JPEG. In RAW, you will do everything yourself, spending a lot of time, and the result will hardly be better.

Here's how without HDR:

And this is with HDR:

Not a great example, but that's only because I don't really shoot without HDR, it was some kind of mistake. So you can be sure that all the evening landscapes taken on the D610 were with the HDR function. Of course, this trick will not work if something moves in the frame - the image will double.

virtual horizon

The gyroscope on the D610 works in two planes. A very handy thing when you need to quickly click on the landscape so that the horizon is not littered and the perspective is not distorted.

The function button can be assigned to turn on the gyroscope so that it is displayed in the viewfinder, then it will be in place of the exposure scale. To adjust the tilt forward / backward, you will have to turn on the large screen, only in this mode there will be such an opportunity.

Two slots for memory cards

A very useful thing. Firstly, I really like the SD card format. You will not have any problems with such cards, they are small and you can work with them on any modern laptop without having to carry a reader with wires. Secondly, you can configure different behavior to your taste: record photos in parallel on two cards for reliability, or sequentially to increase the available memory.

There are only a couple of nuances. The most important thing is to buy the fastest possible memory cards. You need to look not only at the class (10 is the minimum for you), but also at the throughput, it is desirable that UHS (Ultra High Speed) is written on the card, this is 300x and higher. Otherwise, you will have the feeling that the camera is faulty. With slow class 6 cards, the camera may freeze altogether. You definitely didn't spend that much money to slow down your high-speed camera because of some small card. It is better to save on the volume of the card, but take it quickly.

By the way, due to the fact that the matrix on the D610 is 24 megapixels, which is a lot, it seems to me, some common 8Gb card will fill up catastrophically quickly if you shoot in JPEG. I generally keep quiet about NEF. And leave hope that you can use the already available cards from the old technology. You will have to buy new high-speed high-volume.

Second important aspect- I do not advise you to switch the fill mode of the cards during the shooting process, otherwise you may have ghosts, especially when you think that the frame was deleted. The camera is not too smart to understand what you were shooting in which fill mode. There is a risk not only of unkillable frames, which is not terrible, but also of losing an important frame when you thought you had a backup. It is better to set this thing up once and not touch it again.

Auto ISO

I almost never turn off Auto ISO, even when I shoot in the evening with a long exposure - I just turn up the shutter speed to the maximum until the exposure starts to go positive, and I know for sure that I have a minimum ISO. But these are old habits.

On the D610, if you press the ISO button and turn the rear wheel, the minimum ISO value will switch, but if you turn the front wheel, the Auto ISO mode will switch to manual mode and back - very convenient!

In addition, Auto ISO recognizes the focal length and makes the shutter speed shorter for telephoto cameras, but on the contrary, you can improve the quality with longer shutter speeds and low ISO. For more flexible settings, there is an ISO correction, if, for example, you don’t drink, and your hands don’t shake much, then you can shift the balance towards slower shutter speeds. To do this, in the Shooting Menu, where ISO is set, in the Minimum Shutter Speed ​​item, where there is Auto mode, you need to press the right arrow on Auto, there will be a correction. So far, this is the most flexible and most convenient ISO setting I've seen.

As for the ISO itself, I am quite comfortable shooting even at ISO 6400. Of course, the noise is already visible, but not too much. At least this allows you to take a pretty decent handheld shot from the shaking Brooklyn Bridge in New York, there is nothing to do with a tripod:

Another detail is the presence of an infrared port for
