Bargain D610?

Teabag_Terry2 · 13 Jul 2016 at 23:01

Hi guys,

A guy at work has offered me a bargain - a nearly new D610 body-only fully boxed, under 1000 shutter count etc. (includes extra battery, and SD card and lens pen).

Only problem was, for full frame, I had my heart set on the D750.

Does anyone have any experiences of the differences between these two cameras?

I shoot almost everything now, architecture, friends/family, wildlife and scenery pls holiday snaps.

Camera weight is not really a concern for me, neither is the cost of some full-frame lenses, Ive got plenty of dough set aside for them.

What do yoiu think?

D750 has better auto focus, newer image processor, tilting LCD, built-in Wi-Fi, better battery life, better built, better low light performance.

Depends how much the bargain D610 is being sold for though... D610 is still a great camera.

I use my D600 for airshow work and found my lense was more a limitation than the camera itself IMHO.

If it is a decent price,I would get it,especially if you can invest more in the lenses.

How much is it?

Mmm Steve M has pretty much said what the difference is.

I think this boils down to whether you are looking for a new camera or just considering this because its a bargain. You say you have enough dough set aside for lenses which is good as it's best to invest in glass. If it's a bargain and you could actually make money on it by selling it on later or trading in later without loss then it may be worth considering as it gets you into the FF without risk. If not go for you have your heart set on as you won't be happy until you get it.
