Hi, I'm thinking of replacing my D7000 (after it didn't survive an involuntary dip in the river) with a D600 instead of a D7100. Is this a good idea? I do already have some nice Fx glass, all I need now is a good standard zoom. Can anyone recommend a good one for me? Is the kit lens any good?
Anyhow, I did test one in the shop with my 105mm micro and was absolutely stunned by the results. I remember pixel peeping my D7000 pictures (especially macros) and always being not quite happy. Well, the D600 at ISO 1000, hand-held in mediocre light just blew my mind away! I cropped and cropped and was still impressed.
Here's a sample shot I took in the shop, just testing the detail. Yes I know it's a horrible shot, but it's just a quick snapshot.
