I am having issues when trying to do burst shots. Sometimes I will have something in focus and try to do the burst and the camera will not even take a shot. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as still pretty new to the D600.

I was looking at a post some place else and they were saying it could be a card issue and buffering but of course my laptop crashed and lost the site and cannot find it again.

It also might be the focus / shooting order you have set - I have mine set up that if the camera doesn't think it is in focus, it won't shoot.

Depending on how your view finder display is setup, you can see down at the bottom right (when you depress the shutter release button) an (rXX) where XX represents the number of shots before the buffer runs out. If you're shooting continuously and you see that rXX number get to zero then it's likely a buffer issue. You won't be able to shoot more until the files are written to the card. Typically when you hit that wall your actuations slow to maybe 1 shot per 1 second or slower. Otherwise I would also check your focus options like kevy73 mentioned.

By burst, you mean continuous high? And do you get an actual focus confirmation beep? Mine is always set to continuous high-mostly because if I need it, I can just hold down the shutter and fire away instead of turning a dial first.
