Hi Techliners...

Previously I posted about the new Nikon D600 full frame DSLR for the Entry Level looks imminent. about a leaked image on how the D600 would look like once it is release to the mass DSLR users.

The latest news issued on the 31st August about the latest technical specification on how the D600 would be like for the already and will be Nikonians.

Imagine with the D600 DSLR Full Frame camera for user like me that wanted a more affordable DSLR will Fx feature would be a dream come true. I wanted to owned a D800 but my pocket was not deep enough. even if I barely have the cash to owned one but surely would not have the full approval of my wife LoL...if I were to go ahead with the plans...I would have to spend unknown period of my bed room moved to the living room....Anyway back to the D600 Fx format. 

With a price of rumoured to be and looks like its going to be the price of $1500 (approximately). Report has it that Nikon will only announce the Nikkor 1 18.5mm, f/1.8 mirror less lens and the Nikon D600 full frame camera. 

According to NR admin/writer about the Nikon D600 Full Frame DSLR. there will be 2 press conference organised by Nikon this coming September 13 2012. venue will be in Dubai as well as in Thailand. This special press conference will be about a new product launch, and there is no specific information to what is the product launch will be, but NR as well as I am will be pretty sure it could be the new D600. let keep our fingers crossed. 

My recent trip to one of the Camera store in my home town (Kota Kinabalu). the price for D600 in KK might be around RM6000 (approximately). I was hoping it will be slightly higher than the D300s price somewhere around the value of RM5000. but lets wait and see...

The fact would be for this time around, 2 press conference from Nikon for Product launch in Dubai and Thailand, D600 Full Frame DSLR for sure..and DSLR D600 is a marriage between the D7000 and D800...
