Nikon attaches to its brand new D600 DSLR, but when you look at the full combination of specs, dimensions, and price, this camera could come close to justifying the bluster. Built around a newly developed 24-megapixel, full-frame CMOS sensor, the D600 is the smallest and lightest shooter of its kind, with a starting price that's also the lowest we've yet seen: $2,100 in the US, £1,956 in the UK, or €2,386 elsewhere in Europe. Canon's stalwart 5D Mark II is still selling for a little bit less, but that shouldn't detract from what is groundbreaking pricing from the typically conservative Nikon.

Other salient specs include 1080p video recording at 30fps or 720p video at 60fps (both capped at 29 minutes and 59 seconds), an ISO range of 100 to 6400 plus "Lo" and "Hi" modes that expand your options to the equivalents of ISO 50 and ISO 25600, and a 5.5fps continuous shooting mode. The autofocus system is a new 39-point setup (9 cross-type sensors in the middle) and there's a new Wi-Fi dongle being introduced to let you control the D600 from a nearby smart device. The accompanying app, already available on Android and awaiting final approval from Apple for iOS, will let you remotely control the D600, providing a live view of what the camera sees and also allowing you to download pictures to your handset or tablet.
