D600 or D7000?

I'll go with the D7000 and spend money on good lenses! Thanks.

Before you do, perhaps some reasearch is in order. Understand the key thing you are giving up is 24.3MP Full-frame CMOS sensor (compared to 16.2MP DX-format CMOS)

There are other things too. There's a reason the D600 commands a higher price.

The funny thing is, he could have both, a FF body AND good glass with his budget. Just check his other thread.

I would say go with the D600 and the full frame sensor. You already have the cropped sensor experience with your current camera. I owned the D7000 and although it is a very capable camera in almost all shooting situations, it won't give the picture clarity when pixel peeping and color levels of the D600. I've owned quite a few cropped Nikon DSLRs (D70, D50, D3000, D300s, and the D7000) and they were all good cameras. However, they just don't compare to the color richness that the D600 produces. Build quality is also done very well for a entry level FX camera (yet not too heavy). In the end it is your call, but I just don't see how you can lose.

Take care.

If you are like me, you use photography as a means to help preserve your sanity. It is a lot of fun thinking about and playing with the equipment and if you have the money to spend, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. From what I can tell, FF bodies and lenses cost at least double the price of the best DX equipment. Is the increase in IQ worth the added investment in equipment? I'm planning on sticking with my D7000 until I can see a clear cut advantage for me, with FF. I am however, going to buy FF lenses whenever possible as I will probably move to a FF Nikon body some day.

600. FX for sure. I love my 7000 but regret not going full frame.
