very pleased with the quality of photographs, lens is really good.

I'm still in process of migrating from DX to FX, I had no zoom in this range, except the 18-200 VR which is a DX lens, a bit heavier, a bit slower a bit less sharp, the only lens I had in this range is the 50mm f1.8 AFS, which I use on the D800 and I HAVE to shoot at 1/125 or I get blurry pictures,...

VR; Light; Small; Decent price compared to other FX nikon zooms; I can shoot by hand at slow speeds and get sharp images :

The corners at 24 mm never get really sharp; if you pixel peep; they are soft; period; At 85 mm it is quite decent at f/8; Use the hood or a filter; the front lens is very exposed ; it's easy to touch it accidentally ; or even scratch; bumped against something

The D800's little bro packs most of the same awesomeness, but with a more manageable number of megapixels and a more palatable price. On paper there's a ton of power per pound, with that 24.3MP full-frame sensor, a built-in flash, dual SD card slots, 39-point autofocus, 5.5fps continuous shooting...

This Nikon DSLR D600 SLR Camera is a great camera to be owned. It has good image quality. The lcd is of 3.2 inches, the resolution is also great. The zooming is also good. It is 24.3 megapixels. The FX-format CMOS is not worth it.

Overall, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm ED VR lens does offer a useful focal range, well-implemented Vibration Reduction system, fast auto focus and respectable build quality, all in a relatively lightweight and compact design.

Nikon D600 Review The D7000 goes FX Add a comment or send Thom feedback on this article. The surprise in Nikon's 2012 FX onslaught was the D600, announced just prior to Photokina and only about six months after the D4/D800/D800E.

Consumer DX user upgrading to FX : get the D600; It's what you're used to, on steroids; Sure, 36mp sounds like bragging rights, but short of being really good at handling your camera during photography and having great lenses, you're not going to see much bump from what you would see with the D600.

Purchased this lens along side my D7000, and was initially sceptical. The lens is rather heavy and big. However once shooting it out and about, it's extremely versatile and with the D7000, any distortion is corrected. The weight doesn't really become an issue, and feels well balanced once in-hand.

Comfortable Controls; Easy To Use; Great Image Quality; Image Stabilisation; Strong Construction

Heavy

My primary zoom is the $1700 Nikon 24-70 2.8. I have a lot more to learn about this lens...but out of the box this lens performed GREAT! No...it won't replace my primary lens...but if I bought this one first, I'm not sure I would have bothered with an upgrade.

Good focus speed Crisp Images Lightweight

Other than the fact that it's not built like a tank?

This 24 megapixel full frame DSLR has a couple of improvements on the D600 released last year. Burst mode speed is increased from 5.5 to 6 frames per second; auto white balance has been tweaked and a Quiet Shutter Continuous mode (which is not all that quiet) has been added.

After spending quite a bit of time with the D7100, I must admit I was sorely ­tempted to switch up to this camera. The D7100 may look a lot like its sibling, the D7000, but internally, it's almost a ­completely different camera - better ISO, better resolution, better autofocus, ­better LCD,...

Good ­resolution; great high ISO ­performance; faster ­autofocus than the D7000; very good handling

Redesigned ­button array on the back takes some getting used to
