D600 with fixed shutter: Nikon D610 mileage diagnostics

Nikon D610 (2013) was released as a "silent" fix for the D600 problem. Featuring a new shutter mechanism with an improved lubrication system (eliminating the problem of oil stains) and a Quiet Continuous shooting mode, the D610 retains the same 24.3-megapixel sensor. This made it one of the best buys in its class - and this is why used D610s are slightly more expensive than used D600s, despite similar characteristics.

The D610's audience is serious amateurs and professionals who value reliability. Wedding photographers, landscape photographers, and portrait photographers have all put the D610 to work intensively. The externally reliable case of the D610 practically does not show the degree of wear. The system meter is your main assessment tool.

Corrected shutter: durability and reliability of the D610

The new D610 shutter is designed for 150,000 guaranteed operations. The fix for the D600 problem made the mechanics more reliable, and in practice many D610 shutters last 200-250 thousand frames without problems. A camera with mileage up to 80 thousand is a great buy. Over 140 thousand is a reason for bargaining and inspection in the service.
