OK, maybe I'm rushing it a little but I've been shooting RAW+JPEG with a production Nikon D600 and, well, there is no RAW converter available yet, not even from Nikon.
Is it possible to open these RAW files without writing a decoder myself? I realize it cannot be optimal since the camera is not known but considering it uses a standard CMOS sensor with Bayer-Filter, just having the 14-bit samples per pixels would be good enough to produce an image from it.
Answer
You might try simply altering the EXIF data in the images so the camera model is something your conversion software supports.
I just did some experimentation with an image from my D300 that proved successful. Changing the model field from NIKON D300 to NIKON D900 (fictional, for now) made AfterShot Pro reject the image, but changing it to NIKON D700 worked fine. I don't imagine the raw formats among the cameras are all that different, and a quick eyeball comparison of the original and altered files as ASP displayed them didn't show any visible difference.
EDIT: Just found a D600 NEF and did the same experiment. Worked fine.
The D600 doesn't appear to break any ground when it comes to how the images are stored, so find its closest supported relative and use that.
