Is The Nikon D600 Priced Too High For Its Features? | Fstoppers : Is The Nikon D600 Priced Too High For Its Features? If there was one thing that people are unanimously saying about  Nikon’s new D600  “budget” full frame camera, it’s that the price is entirely too high. No matter which blog you read, it seems everyone cannot believe the MSRP of $2,099.95. But are these claims valid?
