hmmm just been through the catalogue /brochure cheers j/k and to all appearances it looks like a slightly upgraded d7000 ,higher mp ,full frame but same size ? ,39 point af no change there .in fact the viewfinder for a full frame has dropped from the lovely round one to a standard rectangle .there will be a few points that make it slightly different but i feel a bit let down by this certainly not a wildlife camera at 5.5 frames per sec .
i am leaning more and more towards getting a sony there body range is really moving on (while using the same sensors as nikon) and most have built in i.s to .plus mega fast a.f and frame rates the only thing holding me back is there lens selection .i will make my choices in the coming months

But AF to f8 (not f5.6 like on D7000) and faster/very good AF at that.

Sony dont have the lens ranges that Nikon have.
No way would I do that move. 
If I moved from Nikon then it would be to Canon.

Pity about the SD card slots but I guess it helps them keep the price/size down?

Nikon UK D600 Link


Most of us really don't need the performance of CF (SD performance is fantastic these days), twin CF slots would never happen in a camera of this size, SD cards are Much cheaper and most modern devices require additional hardware to work with CF

I'm very happy about the twin SD slots (in fact I consider this a plus compared to the 1 each CF/SD of the D800 etc.)

Nevertheless, due to features like the limited bracketing range I will probably skip it (I might even grab a D300S if I can get a good deal)

I still think they should have gone for a D400 DX Camera,why this? There is still a lot of advantages of using the more compact DX lenses with larger focal length range.

It's an entry level FX body, that's why Graham. Perhaps the D3/D700 combo were to close for comfort.

Is this INSTEAD of a D400?

Surely there will be a D400 too?

Do you need a high burst rate for wildlife? I thought that was the preserve of sports/journalist? A mate of mine has a Sony, the focus is horrible compared to any of my Nikons.
