[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 373561, member: 9240"] Hate camera store guys - except when I get to laugh at other people's stories. Salesmen have a job to do, and if you walk out of a store buying something you had no idea you were getting before you go in, and something you haven't fully researched based solely on their "expertise" and recommendation, they did their job even if you didn't do yours. No one should be buying a NIB D600 today or any other day, but it's a fine camera, and if you have problems (and there's a good chance you will) it can rather quickly become a NIB D610 - i know from experience. The hype of "better sealing" on the D610 is just that. The "D800 weather sealing" does very little more to seal the camera than the older stuff because it's the pro-grade D800 body that really makes the difference in the seal. Besides, the D600's problem was never the sealing, it was the shutter. The D7100 and the D600/610 are identical bodies from a materials point of view, so his hot smoke enema was again effective - though the idea of even contemplating a D600 (or D610, or D750) "months" before a [I]planned[/I] D810 purchase is rather bizarre in my book, and that's a bizarre book to begin with. I'm with Rick - buying a DX lens, used or otherwise, that is as big, heavy and unwieldy as the Siggy, particularly one with such an uncommon (i.e. tough to re-sell) zoom range, [I]this[/I] close to a D810 purchase smells a lot more of salesmanship than buying smarts. But hey, but at least you're home and still happy with your purchase, so what the heck do we know. [/QUOTE]
