This is my long awaited review of the Nikon D600( also applies to the Nikon D610) vs the Canon 6D in an Epic, side to side shootout testing some of the most important aspects of the two cameras. As I mention on the video, these are 2 very different cameras. D600/D610 is better as an "all round" camera, the 6D excels in low light (wedding photographers are going to love the 6D).
You can check out the Crash Course DVDs I have for both cameras on my products page, they are available both as DVD & immediate download: www.michaelthemaven.com/products/

Im sure there will be plenty of criticism about this comparison, and my intent is to inform my viewers the best that I can about both cameras to the best of my ability. Something I wanted to do was actually show you (evidence) how I came to the conclusions I did, instead of just reading sheet specs. It was a lot of work. If there are mistakes I have made & I imagine there will be, I will do my best to point these mistakes out. I am making a very serious effort to improve the quality of both the information and method of presenting, so I thank you for your support!
UPDATE:
The Bright Target 1 on the wall measured at 6.5 EV
The Dark Target 2 on the ground measured at -1.0 EV

@@supercuber9805 In terms of dynamic range and color depth, Nikon D610 leaves all canons far behind! And also in terms of working ISO, Nikon D610 is higher than Canon EOS 6D.

You just changed my decision on my purchase Mike. Thank you so much. I want to shoot landscapes and low light city scenes at night. I was going to stay away from the Canon 6D because I've read about the terrible auto-focus. You proved that to be untrue. I'm now choosing the 6D and I owe you. I'll be purchasing your training video on the 6D. It's a keeper for us night shooters.

Great video Michael! This video has been a big help in determining which one to get. I'm going to pick up the 6d next month (and yes I'll be picking up your Crash Course video for the 6d) One piece of info that was missing I thought was where each camera is manufactured. From what what I was reading the d600/610 is manufactured in Thailand, where the 6d is manufactured in Japan. I'm not saying/implying the Nikon is poorly made at all , but for some people where products are manufactured plays a part in the decision process. It would be appreciated if you could include that information in future videos, or mention it in the video description. Thanks again for a great comparison video!

Great work Michael. Not sure if someone has said this already, but with regard to low-light performance, your findings (6D being the winner) only apply to JPEG. -In RAW, D600 is easily one stop better. I recently shot with both. I think the Canon's jpeg rendering engine has a better & more efficient noise reduction & sharpening algorithms. -Which totally explains the superior video performance as well.

@a.k.mukherjee3873 9 жыл бұрын

Thank you Michael for making such an informative video. It compares well the pros and cons of the two cameras. Frankly speaking, your video has put me in dilemma. I use to shoot in films and my whole set up is based upon Pentax. Since, Pentax is not getting a full frame body, and also film processing and printing is history, I have no option but to move to digital. My photographic skills have grown around the format of 36 mm by 24 mm. So, it is close to impossible to downgrade myself with APS-C crop sensor. The two models that you compared are the cheapest full frame DSLR, yet not so cheap. My interest are in candid street photography and most of the time I work on 400 ISO. Sometimes, I do shoot in low light. I have couple of questions for you, if you do not mind. (1) Depending on the type of photography I do, which camera body shall I go for?; (2) Do the Canon 6D offers simulated Yellow, Green, Orange and Red filter while shooting monochrome?; (3) Do the 39 focusing points in the viewfinder of Nikon D600 appears obstrusive while composing a shot, as compared to 11 focussing points of Canon 6D?; (4) Which viewfinder was noticeably brighter? Please guide me on this.
