The Nikon D6000 is the kind of camera for a photographer who has the money to invest on a high-end DSLR, but not enough to score the D8000 or a Canon EOS 5D. The D6000 is the perfect gray area, with a 24.3-megapixel, full-frame (35.9 x 24mm) sensor, a light weight 26.8 ounces, a 3.2-inch LCD screen, a smaller 31-point autofocus system (compared to 51 in the D8000), and finally, can shoot video in 1920 x 1080 resolution video at 30, 25, 24 frames-per-second and 1280 x 720 video at 50 and 60 fps.
Want to take a continuous set of photos? Then you can do so at 5.5 photos per second. That’s pretty awesome for a full-frame camera.
But now, for the prices. Nikon has a cute D600 kit option; for $2700 the camera comes bundled with a sweet 24-85mm f/3.5 lens, or for $2,100 you can get the body-only. It may not be the very best DSLR, but Nikon is pushing it as a game changer, and game changers usually change the game, obviously. Maybe the D6000 will on its launch date, September 18th?
