Before I pull the trigger, and buy a D600 to replace my D7100 I have one (ok maybe a few) questions. My main reason for wanting a D600 (besides budget and not affording any other FF camera right now) is when I put on a 35mm lens I want the picture view/field of view to *BE* 35mm ! And so on,etc.. I just want FULL frame pictures,and then I'll crop them afterward, only IF needed. But here is my question. I read that full frame has has a shallower depth of field. I can't remember what "shallow" means if that means there is more, OR LESS bokeh when trying to take close up pictures of far away things (at an open aperture like 1.8-3ish ) and having the background blurry,or with portraits.
So does it mean less or more bokeh ? Or am I understanding it all wrong? I want the camera to have more bokeh in the picture , and not just a cropped version of what it could have been, if that makes sense. But even if it's less bokeh on a FF, as long as its not a huge difference, i think i can live with that.
Honestly I can't afford two very nice cameras so after I get it and make sure everything works fine, I'm planning to sell my D7100. I have buyers remorse because I had no idea i could have spent a few hundred dollars more on a refurbished/used D600, than this brand new D7100 from B&H photos. Basically the way I'm looking at it, it's swapping almost the same camera &settings (with some slight differences) for another but with a bigger senser & is full frame. I wish I had taken my time and been more patient, and i would have probably got it in the first place and saved some money. because it looks like the "used" ones on Ebay are not selling for what i just paid for mine,if i were to try to re-sell it i might not get as much back.
