If you have a D610 and use Lightroom at the moment either you will have to download Adobe’s camera raw & dng converter 8.3 (beta) or download the Lightroom 5.3 release candidate. The version has an expiration date of 31st December 2013, so I guess that the official 5.3 update will be released around that date. At the moment LR 5.3 release candidate is being tested. Lightroom has not yet incorporated support for the D610 raw files (Lightroom 5.2). Note: D610 raw support in Adobe Lightroom I shoot a lot portraiture indoors, and here I prefer the wider image area of a full frame sensor (and its low light capabilities). While being the same megapixel count the smaller sensor gives you a virtual focal length multiplication. Somebody who uses telephoto a lot should choose the D7100 for example. I know that some people would have chosen differently. In the end all that counts is the image, so I wanted to get the very better sensor performance. With that in mind I finally opted for the D610. There I read that the difference in low light performance of my two “contestants” is very noticeable and that the D610 is ahead. Remarkable reviews can be found on I read the 25-page review on the D600 (The D600 and D610 are identical besides some details – shutter mechanism and framerate – so any performance test of the D600 is also valid for the D610). So it cooked down to a decision between autofocus and low light performance. I ranked autofocus and low light performance as being very important and identified the rest (max shutter speed, flash sync speed, stereo mic, 60 fps video, LCD resolution, price) as being less important. I had a hard time choosing between these two cameras. While the sheer number of advantages of the D7100 seemed to decide the race quickly my gut feeling said I should think again and rate how important each aspect was.
