Entry level + full-frame = Nikon D600. Let's see what it's got.

24.3 megapixel FX full-frame CMOS sensor

5.5 frames per second continuous shooting

ISO 100-6400 (expandable to 25,600)

3.2" TFT LCD

Dual SD card slots

Full-frame? What does that mean, you ask? Simply put, a full-frame sensor is the same size as a 35 mm (36×24 mm) film negative. A larger sensor means larger images with greater resolution, even when blown up to large print sizes.

Before we go any further, we'd like to give a big thanks to Chipworks for helping us with the teardown, and for providing the awesome sensor images you'll see below.
