Today we're testing two advanced cameras that are both quite unusual. The Nikon D600 is one of the first full-frame SLRs to sell for under £2,000, while the Sigma DP2 Merrill is a high-end expert compact with a fixed-focal-length lens and a new-gen Foveon sensor.
Nikon D600
Sigma DP2 Merrill
SLRs with full-frame sensors (24 x 36 mm) are becoming increasingly accessible and increasingly affordable. Indeed, the Nikon D600 is priced under the £2,000 mark. Better still—this isn't just a pared-down version of a professional model, as was the case with the Sony Alpha 850. The D600 is a genuinely new camera—a little brother to the D800 and an older cousin to the D7000.
The Merrill range brings major updates to Sigma's DP series of expert compacts which, you may remember, come loaded with large-format sensors (APS-C) and fixed-focal-length lenses. The DP2 Merrill is an update that brings a higher-resolution sensor, fresh electronics and a redesign of the body and controls. Could this be the dawn of a new era for Sigma compacts?
