Nikon launches D610 full-frame DSLR with updated shutter mechanism

08 Oct

Nikon has announced the much-rumored D610 24MP full-frame DSLR. Coming just a year after the D600, the D610 appears to be a very minor refresh, with a quiet continuous shooting mode, improved white balance and faster continuous shooting touted as its major changes. Beyond this, the D610 is essentially the same camera as the D600 and, given its launch at the same $ 2000 SRP, it’s extremely likely that the D610 replaces the older camera.
