The we is me and the dog. Sometimes its me the dog and a friend or two. The D3 series is too big and too heavy. Thats why I had a D700 and a D200 as a wedding photographer. Now, I have 'retired' from the wedding business and I'm doing more writing and photography for magazines, websites, etc. I am also selling images via agencies, libraries, fine art sales, greeting cards, and all kinds of stuff. I moved on from Nikon to Fuji, but it was a love/hate relationship. I then went to Olympus but all is not as well as I hoped. I like the results, don't like faffing with the camera. I can operate a Nikon in the dark, as its years of familiarity and intuitiveness. I do not miss the weight. I do miss full frame. But Sony A7 series cameras have crappy battery life, and unless you take our a mortgage for some Zeiss glass the lenses are pretty rubbish too. I do not have a budget for Zeiss. Image prices have gone down and down over the last five years, and making a living is getting harder and harder. Shutterstock pay just $0.25 per image now as one example of what I'm up against. So. Anyway, enough waffle. I have ordered a used D600 with 26K on the clock. I'll get it tomorrow morning with a 6 month warranty. Wish me luck. Any tips JK?

Just go shoot Jan. The D600 is very capable but the AF is not great for Birds In Flight especially when compared to the D500. D850 is still in testing so I cant compare D500 v D850. Next few months will see me reduce my camera stock but I intend to run a Fuji and Nikon line set. Mirrorless has advantages and disadvantages but once you know your camera and situation you adapt to use the better alternative.

An update: I got my D600 last week and have spent some time with it now. It is like an old friend and I can almost use it blindfolded already. I am delighted with the raw files, which require very little processing and less than I had with the D700. I have had a couple of dust spots appear, but I would expect these from a used camera, with interchangeable lenses, and using a zoom that does not have a fixed barrel length and therefore is sucking in air and particles during use, to a degree. I have not noted any oil spots as yet. I believe that this body fill one of the following it as a) been back to Nikon for the replacement shutter, b) was a late release one that didn't have the problem, c) was one of the lucky ones, d) has simply got to the shutter count whereby there isn't anything lose to still come out Of course, I may now have tempted fate....

On my D600 the oil and debris permanently damaged the sensor and after the third return Nikon replaced it with a D610.

I remember reading somewhere, a list of D600 serial numbers that were affected. It wasn't a definitive list from Nikon, but one compiled by people submitting their own inflicted camera number. My memory is a bit vague but I thought UK serial numbers affected were all below 640000. Of course they may have stopped producing them at 640001 and switched to the D610.
