I know this has been asked before but I'm still a little unsure about some things.
I currently have a D7100 and would like to go FF for the low light performance and because I don't want to keep sinking money in DX glass. I'm going to keep the D7100 and use it with my Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 OS lens because I love the way this combo performs.
My question is about the focusing systems between the two. It's my understanding that the focus system on the D7100 is better... is that just because it has more focus points? Does the D7100 focus faster as well? What are the focus system advantages over the D600? I'm not too concerned about the amount of focus points so I want to know if there's anything else I'm missing.
My concern is that if I decide to update to a FF zoom lens I want to make sure it performs as well as the D7100/Sigma 50-150 combo.
Any other thoughts or things I should know about going from a D7100 to D600?
I made this same decision a few months back but I was using a Nikon 70-200 on my D7100. I loved the focus system on the D7100 and I mainly shoot for the National Tiger Sanctuary and with local models. For the style of photography I deal with the D610 has been great. To answer one of your questions about performing as well as your D7100 with your Sigma lens.... in my opinion as long as you put good glass on the D600 it will exceed the performance of your current set up.... I was going to keep the D7100 but moving to a full frame was such an improvement for me I just sold the D7100 and going to put that money into another Nikon lens......
I also shoot for a local sports bar and a few weeks back they had a bikini contest, of course the lighting was terrible..... the D610 had no focus issues with the low light and I was shooting at ISO 5,000.... the manager and the girls all loved the results....I think you will be very happy with the D600 body.
