Well that's good to hear about the D600 results. See above for my thoughts on the crop mode. And I know if I make the switch I'll regret it the first time I'm out on track lol. But then in the paddock, the D800 is far better. Ahhhhhhhhh.
I look at the crop mode as sort of a fallback position, if I can't get the shot I want without it it's a nice extra to have in the bag. I set it up on the function button so I can switch in and out easily. Eventually when I get a bit more powerful telephoto in the bag I doubt I'll be using it much at all.
But even when I'm shooting telephoto and lower ISO's I just like the D600 images better, they seem "cleaner" for lack of a better term. That and I do enough lowlight that for me the switch was a lot easier to justify, a good percentage of my shooting is done in bad lighting conditions so the switchover made too much sense for me.
For you, well again it all comes down to shooting situation. Maybe the ideal would be to keep the 7200 and get the 800 as well, assuming finances will support that decision.
