Maybe... When I got my D1 I considered the DX sensor to be a temporary expedient until Nikon figured how to make a proper size sensor. Well they did that with the excellent D3 or D700. I would rather get a good 'old' D3 than a new very high pixel density D400 12 to 15 Meg pixels are plenty in my opinion. The extra large image files and horrid gritty noise I see in these small pixel images puts me right off. I would rather have larger soft pixels more like film grain. Almost all my lenses are FX capable so I am ready to switch any time if the right body comes along. But affording it might be a different matter...

I'd say it is probably a little better in the IQ range and the noise will be a little better as well. The D600 should be a small step up from the D3 so maybe the same as a D3S. It does have newer VLSI technology but maybe the higher MP count will dull the effect of the better electronics.

Eric, re: Wonder how the D600 compares to the D3 Grab hold of these two camera's side by side (or any single-digit D camera), and the D600 feels like a wet piece of cardboard. Regards, Gilbert One point for the D600: Nikon has included an Ai-ring for use of older lenses, but otherwise it is aimed and consumers.

It's partly because we have got used to the larger heavier form factor but the D600 is a similar size to the old F2 in the film days (before my photographic time but I held one in a used camera store recently).

Good point. I was a Canon shooter pre digital. Before the EOS revolution the bodies were similarly small...unless you added a motor drive .
