D610 impressions

[NRandall]

I have had my D610 now for a couple of weeks and am really satisfied.
Initially I took the D610 to Kangaroo Island on a one day tour bus trip with my family. For convenience and given the crowded conditions and schedule I decided to use just the Scene modes for the day and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it works as a casual snapper.
Before I realised it I had taken around 1000 frames in just one day.
I am now exploring its function ions in more detail.

I am finding this camera a real joy to use and suggest this thread could be made a positive without reference to the earlier similar model - as there are plenty of threads around the place to take such discussions.

I am wondering if others are interested in posting their first impressions of this camera only - with first images perhaps?

This was taken two nights ago from a cliff-top with the 300mm f4 - the second one is a crop from the same image.

Thank you for clarifying this.
My intent is only to encourage people to show off what the camera can do, not for CC.

I bought mine a couple of weeks ago but then became ill so havnt had a chance yet to play outside with it, I umed and arrd about saving longer for the d800 for extra cropping ability but what you have shown here that I made the right decision Coming from a 5100 I love the extra buttons and quick and easy usability for changing iso ,shutter speed etc... also love the size, fits well in my feminine hands lol

Up until a couple of months ago I was shooting with a D90, so as you can imagine I am still pinching myself a bit coming first via a D7000 and then this camera.. I am now enjoying the experience of the image as much as I was with film for the first time.
