Nikon D600 DSLR Camera

Community noted

Nikon's full-frame DSLR introduced in 2012, aimed at enthusiast photographers.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

A user's D600 survived over a decade of professional use and a hard fall onto rock; even after internal damage it was fully repaired at an official Nikon service center for well under a thousand euros, giving it many more years of service.

    My D600, bought in 2013 and heavily used, needed servicing after a bad fall... Last year I had them both repaired at an official Nikon repair centre in Rome... Absolute tanks, and they're not even pro models.

    I still have my D50. And my D600. I need to haul them out again.
