D600 - an entry level FX camera from Nikon
-
http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Digital-SLR-Cameras/25488/D600.html[^] At USD 2100, it's not cheap but it's the first full-frame digital SLR that's ever been released for a sub-2900 price. If you wait a few months, you may get it for under 2000 off Amazon too!

They have a 600-dollar FX zoom now. The 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G VR. So for under 3000, you can get an FX camera/lens combo which would have been unthinkable a few years back.

What is actually the difference between this one and D7000 ( I am not enough into the subject to understand the price difference) ?

The D7000 has a DX sensor, while the D600 has an FX sensor. The FX sensor is the digital equivalent of the 35 mm film format. The DX sensor is a cropped (2/3rd) sensor (relative to 35 mm). That accounts for the price difference.

Get a old D700 ... better in most aspects, especially micro lens focus adjustments which is essential with a fullframe camera that can generate thinner depth of field that display lens slight focussing imperfections.. Heck, an old D2(x) might be better .

With any luck Canon will fire another shot at Nikon and we will have a price war.

Been a lot of anticipation since the D800 came out to see what they would do with this. Still a little to expensive for me but can always hope Santa is good this year? :)

Sorry, you are wrong.. The first full frame DSLR under $2000 is Sony A850. It was released with an MSRP of $1999. It was a good DSLR (good color - though high ISO performance is not that great) and released sometime in 2009. It was a the scaled down version (less FPS, 98% view finder) of Sony A900. Also when the last generations of Full Frame DSLRs released, the price point was around $2700. I remeber Canon 5D Mark II was $2699 or $2799. Same is the case for Sony A900 and Nikon D700. -Madhu

The Nikon D700 debuted at 2999 if I remember right. I am sorry if I missed the Canons and the Sonys. Strictly a Nikon guy here.

That might be true, but I saw them selling $2700 range within a couple of months of its release. Regarding Canon 5D Mark II, it was released with $2700 range. I bought it $2699 within 6 months after its release. My main point was Nikon D600 is not the least expensive full frame DSLR that is released. -Madhu

I won't disagree, but it's the cheapest Nikon FX camera ever released. Not sure how many DX people will move to this one though, since buying lenses will prove to be quite expensive.

Very much agree with that. Considering the high cost Nikon full frame lenses (I am seeing the same for newer Canon lenses - 24-70 II is $2300), not sure how many of the current DX users will move to full frame. Nikon did some nice work of releasing some cheaper full frame lenses. The new 24-85 is decent, and the new AF-S versions of F1.8 lenses (28mm, 50mm, 85mm) are good. But lack of F4 zooms is still a major concern (especially considering the cost for F2.8 zooms) Also, other than getting thin DOF, I am not sure the arguments (high ISO, DR etc.)for FX are valid any more. The newer generations of DX sensors are catching up (e.g. the 16 MP used in Fuji X-Pro1, Sony NEX-5F, Pentax K-30 are great) -Madhu

Rumor is that Canon will release 6D with the same sensor as 5D Mark II (or 5D Mark III).

I agree, DX quality has just been going up over the years. Maybe they want to really cash in on FX before everyone realizes this :-)
