Some of you that think the 700 is better than the 600, you need to do some research! WOW! lol. Here is a great read to to get you started .

The D700, being a prosumer grade camera, has many, many, features the D600 lacks. It isn't all about ISO and MP.

Totally get that. So what is it about the 700 that is a better camera? I know the 600's max shutter speed is 1/4000 but I don't know that I've ever needed more anyway..... IMO, the pro's defiantly outweigh the cons between the two cameras.... just sayin'

The D600, being a much newer camera and one aimed at a much wider audience, has MANY features that the D700 lacks. The D600 offers UNCOMPRESSED VIDEO capture out of an HDMI port; that feature alone is worth a huge amount. It isn't all just about being stuck at 12 megapixels four years later...with no video, and so on. The D700 is obsoleted now. It was a great camera, in its era, but newer cameras have passed it by. There's basically NO WAY I would select a D700 over a D600 at this time, since both are priced identically, and the D600 has by far a better sensor, and in my mind, a slightly better viewfinder that has better eye relief, and of course, the newer camera is the current state of the art, and not an end-of-life model.

So, a quick follow-up. Here is a comparison site that offers just the HIGHLIGHTS of the differences between the D600 and the D700. NOT the more-minute differences, but the MAJOR ones, the ones that truly differentiate these two cameras. So...the D600 compared to the D700 offers the following advantages:

But does the strap say just "NIKON" or does it say "D600" :mrgreen:
I'm still trying to justify the price. Wondering if the price might come down a notch towards x-mas and new year.

I have one as well as a D4. The D600 has become my walkabout camera. I use it with the 45MM Pancake lens and the rendering is fantastic, the sensor clean. It is worth every penny of the $2100 as far as I am concerned. It is lighter weight construction than the D4, but it half the price, and feels like it is half the weight. Offered are a few shots I took the second day I had it. Now, after two weeks, I love it.

Hmm.

I would expect the price should raise around x-mas just like the price of anything else ?

But afterwards, it will probably fall.

+1, get the D800. I posted this thread, and after reading all the comments I did and haven't regretted it
