Introduced in the early 1990s, the Nikon F-601 Quartz Date (known as the N6006 in some markets) was one of Nikon's advanced enthusiast autofocus SLRs, offering a balance of automation and creative control. It features Program, Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, and Full Manual exposure modes, along with a built-in flash and Quartz Date back for date imprinting. Designed for photographers who wanted the convenience of autofocus without sacrificing manual control, it remains a capable and dependable film camera.

Compatible with Nikon's extensive F-mount lens system, the F-601 is well suited for portraits, travel, street photography, documentary work, and everyday shooting.

This camera uses standard 35mm (135) film, producing images in the 24 × 36 mm format.
