I am really looking into D7000 and D7100 as well - D7000 has very nice tonality in B/W, although it is a little behind as far as dynamic range is regarded. I am very curious about the upcoming D7100 - whether it will retain the same tonality, and what will happen with the DR.kristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287122682920921229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-55136086808069524482013-03-04T13:40:32.004-08:002013-03-04T13:40:32.004-08:00Thanks krist.

The final version of the raw profile tamed the pinks/magentas a bit. See this post: http://betterfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2012/12/lightroom-43-fixes-nikon-d600-colors.html<br /><br />The other thing I forgot to mention is whether you might be interested in the D7000 or D7100 so you won't have to change the lenses you used with your S5.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-10378925498953950712013-03-04T02:02:24.567-08:002013-03-04T02:02:24.567-08:00Hello Mic,
Thank you for the very quick reply! Yo...Hello Mic,<br /><br />Thank you for the very quick reply! Your observations on D600's color exactly match mine, and it is very clear in you family photos - still a little bit of a orange-yellow-ish skin tint, and strong pinks, and I would say strong magentas as well. But otherwise a very good camera..<br /><br />The other thing with the tone curve is mentioned in DP's review too, but I hope it wouldn't be as much of a problem, as long as the total DR is bigger than S5's one, as I am usually doing a lot of post-processing..kristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287122682920921229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-71944603051718018512013-03-04T00:59:52.526-08:002013-03-04T00:59:52.526-08:00Hi Krist. Thanks for checking out the blog!
The ...Hi Krist. Thanks for checking out the blog!<br /><br />The D600's total dynamic range appears to be greater than the S5. However, there are a few differences between them. The D600 has a wider shadow range while the S5 has a wider highlight range, hence as you pointed out the way you expose is different. The other difference in terms of dynamic range is the tone curve. The S5 as you know has a very long shoulder, whereas the D600's tone curve is more similar to other digital sensors, therefore the SOOC image of the S5 looks to me like it has a more subtle differentiation of highlights, but I think with careful postprocessing the D600 can look similar.<br /><br />Not sure if you've seen this post but here are real-world shots: http://betterfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2012/10/nikon-d600-dynamic-range-in-real-world.html<br /><br />As for the colors, the D600 is somewhat typical of other Nikons that I've used in that it has a slightly orange color with skin tones. The other thing I've noticed is that it seems that pinks tend to get exaggerated.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-50802464855728393592013-03-04T00:35:53.515-08:002013-03-04T00:35:53.515-08:00Hello Mic,

I would like to ask you two things:<br /><br />Do you think, that the overall dynamic range of D600 is greater than that of S5, even if the way of achieving it is the opposite - underexposing and opening the shadows vs. exposing to the right?<br /><br />The second question is: how do you find the colors of D600 compared to those of S5, which are really superb?kristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287122682920921229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-72952986831406579582012-10-15T10:39:37.216-07:002012-10-15T10:39:37.216-07:00Thanks Valentin.
