    [UPDATE Nov 14 2014. 11 months since I have this excellent camera. Main task is taking beach photos under a torrid tropical sun in sandy dusty humid beaches when the sunny beach season gets in (November). I was appalled to notice 3 small kninda black dots in every photograph. I cleaned the lens, I ran the "dust cleaning process" and the "sensor cleaning process". THE DOTS DISAPPEARED! I do not know if they were dust dots, oil dots or whatever. They just disappeared through very easy fast cleaning. I AM SO HAPPY! 11 MONTHS OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE BY THIS MAGNIFICIENT NIKON D610!!!]

     ]

    I received this camera ON TIME in december 2013 and now the camera has had more than 6 months with several days of heavy use in tropical beaches and other tropical parts of my country. No problems at all. No oil or dust in sensor, just amazing images.

    The sensor in fact is one of the best that exist. DXoMark rated this sensor as 3rd best ever after the Nikon D800 and D800E sensors. But those sensors get a better grade essentially because they have more megapixels      ]. This camera has a bigger size pixel than the D800 and D800E (as far as I understand the D810 will be on sale on august and it has a superior sensor).

    It think its sensor is as good as the D800 and D800E, simple as that. The lens is awesome, some say that it is a professional lens at a very reasonnable price.

    The Nikon D600 had serious problems and many negative comments here are about the D600. The D610 seems to have fixed very well those problems.

    I am very very happy with this machine. It is a great value: Absolute superb quality at prices that may be called consumer-prices and not professional exorbitant prices. I repeat that the machine has been through intense use many days -not all the time- under heavy tropical sun and sand, in boats and cars, etc. Superb machine. Superb performance for the dollar. Thanks Nikon!

    I am editing this review again because a new body came out which is the D750. 24mp, .5 FPS faster, expeed 4 processor, and 51pt autofocus. Image quality is practically identical, though I do think they improved dynamic range a smidge. The big difference is the autofocus. It has more sensors and can autofocus with much better results in lower light, and they AF points aren't as clustered. If you have the extra $600 then go with that body. If not, the D610 is a great camera body and very budget friendly. I'm not worried a bit and will be shooting the D610 camera for at least two more years. I will probably pick up a D750 or a D810 when the price drops and continue using my D610 as a second body (I shoot primes and have to change lenses a lot, two bodies is way easier), but that will be next summer more than likely.

    Other than that, more than happy with my purchase of the D610 still. No dust spots either...

    Two weeks in and I have more experience with this camera body. I am still very happy with this purchase. I haven't noticed any oil spots, dust spots, etc. The menu options for personalizing the controls are pretty standard for Nikon. For me it is always AE/AF button Focus Lock Only, and Front Fn button Virtual Horizon. I do like the options for reversing the EV meters, etc. Part of me wishes that there was a no compression option for NEFs like the D700, but then again the NEF compressed lossless files are still pretty huge. 30 images can easily take 1.5 gb.

    Autofocus works very well and is dead on with my 24mm f/1.4G and 105mm f/2.8G Micro. I will say that I find myself using the focus lock button quite a bit to focus, lock focus, and recompose. I would do that with my D700, but not nearly as much as I do with my D610. The reasoning is the clustering of the AF Points. It isn't a deal killer for me, but it is slightly annoying. A large part of my compositions are not center framed, it may not be an issue for you.

    Nothing seems loose or flimsy after hanging from my shoulder strap and getting good use. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend others purchasing it. I have had some issues with CS6 and this body. I am not be fully updated since I'm in Alaska right now with horrendous internet, but I tried to update. Not big issues, just some lens correction deals.

    I've only had this body for one day. It was received in great packaging, new, and unopened from Amazon. I have spent a good amount of time playing with it. I previously owned a D90 and a D700. Both were great, but I can tell that this 610 is in a new level. The processing seems much faster, the shutter is nice and smooth (not like the ka-KLUNK of the D700), controls are well laid out and easy to get used to if you have experience with other Nikon DSLRs, in fact they are close to the D700. Screen is big and vibrant. Isn't too heavy or too light. Viewfinder is nice and bright. Images look incredible. Larger files aren't bogging down my computer or anything.

    I am pretty confident that this body is going to last me a long time. Everything seems right on it. Images look great. I was considering picking up a D800 instead, but now I'm glad the extra money is in my checking account. I went from the D90 to the D700 and the jump to full frame was a really noticeable difference to me. Now going from the D700 to the D610, I feel very much the same. Just a huge difference in image quality.

    Also, if you are worried about oil spots, don't worry. If you spend 90% of your time shooting the sky at f/16 then you either have an interesting job or way too much time on your hands. I am very confident that this issue has been resolved with the release of the D610, and I believe that later production D600s also had the issue resolved.
