I know that there a couple of D600 users amongst our group but it seems that the D600 gets little mention or feedback here. So are you a D600 user ? What are the pros/cons of it ?

I have one Jonathan. It is my only DSLR. Always wanted a full frame DSLR and this fit the bill for my budget and my photography style. Got it when first released and experienced the oil spot issue. Sent to Nikon repair and a week later got it back with a new shutter mechanism and a fully cleaned camera. No issues since. I have finally settled on my kit and have no desire to get anything else. I use the D600, Nikon 24-70mm lens, Nikon 70-200mm f/4 lens, a Nikon 85mm lens and a teleconverter if I need some reach. I find the photos to be as good as I can produce and I travel with this kit. I find myself shooting more jpegs than ever before and going RAW only when it is very important or the lighting sucks. The D600 is not for everyone. Never having had a "pro" level camera I just can't compare it to the D800 or D4 but then my wallet won't allow me to get more than I have. Have to say that I am very happy with my setup and spend more time taking pics than looking at web sites anymore. Not sure this helps.

Hi Gary, Thanks for posting your perspective on this. I feel that my D800 is overkill for my needs and whilst the D3S and D3 still provide more than enough quality pixels for most stuff there are the odd occasion where I feel limited. 12 ==> 36MP is a big leap so the 24MP option seems more satisfactory for me. One of my irks with the D600 is the lack of the 10 pin interface that I have so many accessories for. I dont think that the USB interface in the D600 is so flexible.

I have seen you bring up the 10 pin issue several times so this body may not suit you in the long run. Always something isn't it? Fortunately, I don't have the requirement for a 10 pin setup. I have found using the D600 and any lens I have I no longer do nearly as much post processing of the images. This is true in jpeg and RAW. If you were closer I would lend it to you for a week or so. Leaving in 2 days for a trip to Europe (Netherlands, Germany, France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland) will be taking this kit along with my Fuji X20 which is an amazing little camera. Good luck in your quest for the perfect camera. If you have any questions just ask.

Fortunately, I don't have the requirement for a 10 pin setup. Have a good trip Gary. I hope it all goes well and you have a fabulous holiday. If Nikon dont pull their finger out an announce the D400 soon then I will go for the D600 anyway and see how it works for me.

I purchased a D600 in early May as my first full frame digital. Having owned the D1,D2X,D5000, & D5100.I find the D600 a "lunch bag letdown". Nothing drastic yet, just a lot of annoying little things that make me glad I kept my D5100. Wouldn't recommend purchasing it unless you have a high tolerance to pain and a very mild temperament.

Amazing50. I'd be interested to hear in detail what you dont like about the D600. I have the D800 and it is a fine camera but most of the time I dont want 36MP and a 20-24MP camera is better suited to my needs. The D600 worries me as it is a small camera body design e.g. like a D3100 or D7000 and I have large hands. My D3S is perfect but is a heavy beast.
