Canon Announces EOS 6D 20.6 MP Full Frame DSLR, Goes Head-to-head Against Nikon D600

Nikon D600 vs Canon 6D

It’s a full-frame shootout between Canon and Nikon. Today, Canon announced the EOS 6D, the latest addition to their line of DSLR. It seems Canon and Nikon were reading from the same playbook when designing their entry-level DSLR. Nikon D600 holds the edge in megapixels at 24.3, but Canon may best it in ISO, at least passing it in native ISO up to 25,600, where Nikon can only match using its extended range. But Nikon holds a 1fps edge in continuous shooting (5.5 fps vs 4.5 fps). But Canon fires back by including both Wi-Fi and GPS on-board. You’ll have to pay extra to get those options as accessories from Nikon.

Both cameras feature magnesium-alloy and poly-carbonate bodies, and both have external battery grips to double shooting capabilities. The Canon weighs in a few grams less, but your wallet won’t feel the difference — they cost the same $2099 US for the body alone. Get a lowdown and Compare Nikon D600 vs Canon 6D specifications. Which one will come out on top? You be the judge.

Nikon D600 Test Results! Dynamic Range, ISO Comparisons, and more!

Nikon D600 Dynamic Range Results

Techradar has posted D600 signal to noise ratio and dynamic range test results using DXO Analyzer. The test compared the Nikon D600 as well as the D4, D800, D700, D7000 and Canon 5D Mark III. The results show dynamic range is outstanding and very close to the D800 (which earned the highest ever rating in DxO’s official lab test). Singal to noise ratio is higher than the D700 and D800, and its margin increases as ISO increases, however the D4 takes has the advantage throughout, espeically at the high end of the ISO range. Techradar also has image quality resolution charts and high ISO sample images from the D600.

D600 Test ChartImaging Resource produced their standard set of lab shots using the Nikon D600. You can compare it head-to-head with over 100 other cameras, including D700, D800, D7000 and Canon 1D X, 5D Mark II and 5D Mark III on their web site.

Nikon D600 Image Sensor made by Sony?

Nikon D600 sensorThe 24.3 MP CMOS sensor in the Nikon D600, judging from the initial sample photos published around the web, has very good dynamic range and relatively low noise even at a high ISO 6400. Nikon representatives state the the sensor was designed to their specification but do not reveal their manufacturer. However, we have heard this line before from Nikon, who use Sony-built sensors in several DSLR including the D800, D7000 and D3200. Sony’s 24.3 MP sensor used in the Sony RX1 seems to be very similar in noise characteristics and resolution. And the Sony A99 which also uses a 24.3 MP sensor, but features an additional layer with built-in with phase-detect auto focus, shares a very similar outward appearance. Another interesting point is that the Nikon D600 and Sony A99 were released just days apart, however the fact that Photokina is next week probably explains the reason, rather than an agreement between the two companies regarding a synchronized launch schedule.

Sony A99 Sensor DisplaySony seems to be well ahead of its competition in sensor design and fabrication, able to pull outstanding dynamic range and color depth out of ever-shrinking photosites. Regardless of who produces the sensor, it is clear that Nikon has a winner on their hands.

D600 sample photos show well controlled noise at ISO 6400 indicating improvements in signal-to-noise ratios when compared with sensors produced just a few years ago, not to mention that today’s high resolution sensors are doing more while acquiring less light per photosite than their lower resolution predecessors.

It may be a few weeks before an independent lab such as DxO will get their hands on the latest Nikon and Sony cameras, but we fully expect to see these cameras near the top of the performance charts, if not breaking new ground, when it comes to dynamic range, low light performance and color depth.

UPDATED Nikon D600 Images, High ISO Samples and More!

Sample images from press meetings and reviews are popping up all over. You can already find High ISO samples with 100% crops showing the capabilities of the D600’s new 24.3 MP full-frame image sensor.

First off, we have some 100% crops at different ISO levels from ClubSnap, a photography enthusiast community based in Singapore. These photos were taken at Nikon’s D600 announcement and hands-on meeting for the press. There are also some shots of the D600 sitting next to a Nikon D800.

Next, we have dpreview sharing 21 preview photos. These photos were made with a D600 with the 24-120mm f/4 VR lens. This constant aperture lens makes for a nice pairing with the D600, and probably gives slightly better results than you would get using the 24-85mm VR included in the standard Nikon D600 kit. Dpreview prodvides links to download the full resolution samples for all you pixel peepers.

Nikon showed the following D600 introduction/promotional video at the worldwide press meetings:

An inspiring D600 movie (long version) was created by Steve Simon and Florian Schulz with some amazing time-lapse and aerial photography. The scenery is breathtaking, not to mention the video was shot entirely using the Nikon D600. Check it out here:

After you watch the D600 movie, check out the how they made it. They shot and produced the video entirely themselves using prototype Nikon D600 cameras. They explain some of the camera features including how they shot video in the field. You may note they shot video in Alaska in winter, so the D600 has been in testing and development for some time. Amazing and inspiring work!

UPDATE: Imaging Resource has posted night shots using the D600 in this image gallery. They are a good example of what the D600 can do in real-world high ISO situations. Full resolution versions can be viewed along with complete EXIF data. The images were taken using the 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 VR kit lens.

Regarding their experience using the D600:

 “I love shooting the Nikon D600. I was able to get a few decent shots last night, as well as two ISO series. I didn’t have my tripod so a few shots were a little soft, as I relied on posts and rails to stabilize, but so many of the shots were handheld thanks to the D600’s very high ISO capability.”

Questions & Answers About the Nikon D600

With today’s announcement of the D600, Nikon has created quite a storm of enthusiasm as well as raised some questions about the camera, and where it fits in Nikon’s lineup. Here you will find questions and answers about the new Nikon D600.

Nikon D600 Official Press Release

A FX-format camera with a body smallest and lightest among FX-format cameras that offers excellent basic performance and a 24.3-megapixel image sensor for superior imaging performance

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the Nikon D600. Despite having the smallest and lightest body among Nikon FX-format cameras, the D600 offers advanced basic camera performance, and is equipped with a new FX-format CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 24.3-million pixels and the same EXPEED 3 image-processing engine built into high-end Nikon D-SLRs (D4, D800, D800E) for superior definition and image quality.

The D600 is a new model added to the Nikon FX-format digital SLR lineup with a smaller size and lighter weight–approx. 141 (W) x 113 (H) x 82 (D) mm, 760 g*1 for excellent portability, yet offers the superior image quality and rendering performance, operation, and durability of high-end FX-format D-SLRs. The D600 is a compact and lightweight camera that offers excellent cost performance. In addition to a new FX-format CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 24.3-million pixels and the same EXPEED 3 image-processing engine built into high-end models, the D600 inherits a number of advanced features from its high-end cousins, including an optical viewfinder with frame coverage of 100%*2, a large and clear, 3.2-inch LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle for superior visibility, and the same dust- and water-resistance as the D800 and D800E. What’s more, this single FX-format camera also offers support for the complete DX NIKKOR lens lineup for greater convenience with both still image shooting and movie recording. The D600 makes full use of its 24.3-million effective pixels with high-resolution, full-HD movie recording (1920 x 1080/30p). It is also equipped with the Multi-area mode Full-HD D-Movie function, which enables recording in either FX- or DX-based movie format for more creative imaging expression.

  • *2With shooting in FX format.

D600 Development Background

Nikon has been strengthening and expanding its FX-format digital SLR camera lineup, most recently with the release of the D4, the new FX-format flagship model that offers the ultimate in functions and performance, followed by the D800 and D800E, both equipped with a CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 36.3-million pixels, for incredible definition and image quality. The D600 was developed to bring the enjoyment of photography with an FX-format camera to a broader range of users. It offers the superior rendering characteristics, image quality, operation, and durability of previous FX-format D-SLRs in a body that is as compact, lightweight, and easy to use as DX-format cameras, thus making it suited not only to advanced amateur and professional photographers, but also photo enthusiasts looking to make the most of their more creative side.

D600 primary features

  1. The Nikon FX format in a compact and lightweight body for excellent portabilityThe D600 measures approximately 141.0 x 113.0 x 82.0 mm (W x H x D) and weights approximately 760 g*, making it extremely compact and the lightest Nikon FX-format digital SLR camera available. In addition to adoption of a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy for the top and rear body covers, all joints are effectively sealed for the same superior dust- and water-resistance as the D800 and D800E.
    • *Body only.
  2. A new 24.3-megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor for superior image quality and resolution over a broad range of sensitivitiesThe D600 is equipped with a new FX-format CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of 24.3-million pixels that ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio and broad dynamic range. The camera supports a broad range of standard sensitivities, from ISO 100 to ISO 6400, for beautiful images exhibiting very little noise and rich expression of tones. The range of sensitivities can also be expanded to the equivalent of ISO 50 (Lo 1) or up to the ISO 25600 equivalent (Hi 2). What’s more, use of NIKKOR lenses equipped with Nikon’s advanced optical technologies maximizes performance of the D600’s FX-format CMOS sensor, with its effective pixel count of 24.3-million pixels, for images that offer clear and sharp reproduction of even the finest details.
  3. The EXPEED 3 image-processing engine, optimized for high-performance digital SLR cameras like the D600, for superior, high-speed processingThe D600 is equipped with the same EXPEED 3 high-speed image-processing engine built into high-end D4, D800, and D800E Nikon FX-format cameras. The EXPEED 3 image-processing engine has been optimized for digital SLR cameras to offer faster and better performance for faithful rendering, vivid color reproduction, and expression of a broad dynamic range. It also effectively suppresses noise with advanced noise-reduction processing for still images captured at high sensitivities under dim lighting, all while preserving definition and sharpness. Special noise-reduction processing designed especially for movies maintains crisp, clear outlines in movies recorded in low-light situationse.
  4. Excellent basic camera performance and operation for comfortable shootingAdoption of the Multi-CAM4800 autofocus sensor module enables certain acquisition and tracking of the intended subject with 39 focus points. Cross-type sensors have been adopted for the nine most frequently used focus points at the center of the frame. In addition, seven focus points (5 horizontal focus points and 1 each above and below at the center of the frame) are fully functional at f/8. All of this means more precise autofocusing when super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses are used with a teleconverter (2.0x).What’s more, extremely precise automatic control provided by the Scene Recognition System analyzes detailed scene brightness and color information acquired from the 2,016-pixel RGB sensor, and applies that information to autofocus, automatic exposure, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, and white balance control.The D600 is also equipped with a high-magnification optical viewfinder that supports a frame coverage of approximately 100% with shooting in FX format and magnification of approximately 0.7x*1. The 3.2-inch, approximately 921k-dot monitor with wide viewing angle is equipped with an ambient brightness sensor that automatically controls monitor brightness and contrast according to ambient lighting conditions to ensure clear viewing. Dual SD memory card slots (SDXC, UHS-I2 compliant) that enable the use of two SD memory cards at a time make for smoother, stress-free still-image and movie recording.

    • *2Interface standard
  5. High-resolution, full-HD movie recording at 1290 x 1080/30p making full use of a high effective pixel count of 24.3-million pixels, and Multi-area mode Full-HD D-Movie for recording movies in one of two formatsBy simply pressing the movie-record button just above and to the left of the shutter-release button in movie live view mode, users can enjoy movie recording that makes full use of the camera’s 24.3-million effective pixels. Not only does the D600 support full-HD movie recording at 1920 x 1080/30p, but adoption of the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression standard ensures that superior picture quality is maintained while data is compressed to allow for recording of a single movie for up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds*1.The Multi-area mode Full-HD D-Movie function offers two movie formats*2, FX-based movie format and DX-based movie format, for recording of full-HD 1920 x 1080/30p. (both FX- and DX lenses can be used). The FX-based movie format makes full use of the large image sensor and offers a shallow depth-of-field with an emphasis on blur characteristics while the DX-based movie format is optimal for recording movies that bring subjects closer when lenses with short focal lengths are used.The D600 is also equipped with a headphone jack so that headphones may be used to check sound, and movies and the movie live view display can be viewed simultaneously in the camera’s monitor and an external monitor. Uncompressed movie data recorded in movie live view mode can also be output to an external recorder via the built-in HDMI interface, and the time-lapse photography function can be used to automatically photograph relatively slow moving action, such as the blooming of a flower and the passing of clouds, at specified intervals. The camera then combines the photos and records them as a silent time-lapse movie.
    • *1Maximum length is 20 minutes with some frame size/rate and movie quality settings.
    • *2Movies are recorded with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 regardless of the format selected.
  6. Support for the Wireless Mobile Adapter WU-1b for collaboration with smart devicesWiFi Adapter WU-1b for Nikon D600. When the Wireless Mobile Adapter WU-1b (sold separately) is connected, true, high-quality photos captured with a compatible digital SLR camera can be easily transferred to a smart device*1 for sharing of images. The smart device can be used to control camera shooting remotely with the live view display shown in the smart device screen, and images captured with the D600 can be transferred to the smart device over a wireless network connection*2 (remote movie recording is not supported).
