Nikon D600 Vs. D300s Vs. D7000

[timarp000]

I know, 1 is full frame but the other two or crop sensors... but i have to choose. I either buy the D300s and invest on good glass or i buy the D7000 and save cash or i buy the D600 and sacrifice on good glass.

I shoot landscapes, wildlife, birds and macro.

This is what ive figured out,
Noise Performance : D600>D7000>D300s
Build Quality : D300s>D600,D7000
Frame Rate : D300s>D600,D7000
Weather Sealing : D300s>D600,D7000
Auto-Focus : D300s>D600,D7000

This is for D300s USERS! Is the ISO Performance good? How high can i go to get usable images.(1600,3200)?
I own a D40X and i cant go higher than ISO 400! If i do i have to use noise reduction softwares which suck out detail...

the lenses you chose for the D300s and D7000 are slow lenses except for the 85mm (which i assume is at least the 1.8) the other two are variable aperture lenses. The D7000 will give you better ISO performance than the D300s, but the D300s has more AF points and more cross type AF points and has weather sealing. when you say that buying the D300s or D7000 will allow you to get "good glass" I kinda assumed you meant glass like the 70-200 f/2.8 or other fixed aperture lenses. the 70-300 VRII lens is a great lens, i have one, but it is not "fast glass". If getting the cheaper D300s of D7000 will only let you get the 70-300 VRII lens as your best lens, then I would just put the money into the D600 and wait until you can get the good glass for it. If buying a DX body would let you invest in faster glass like the 70-200 f/2.8, then it might be worth considering.

D600 smashes the other two bodies.

I bought a D800 and very pleased with it over my D700

If you have the choice between a FX and a DX body, go with the D600 and save your money to buy good glass.

Or

Let's say you shoot wildlife, a DX body with a top quality lens like the 70-200 f2.8 VRII gives you extra range.
