[QUOTE="clarnibass, post: 63857, member: 9831"] I'm going to upgrade from an APSC camera too and I'm somewhat in a similar situation. I shoot different things from you but I'm looking at more or less the same upgrade. I considered a D800, a D4, even a used D3S (since good high ISO is the most important for me) and I almost bought one of those, but in the end decided this is just more than I want to invest in a camera. Have you considered a used D700? It is a great camera if you don't need video and more than 12MP. You can even buy a used D700 (actually I wouldn't buy a new one) and a cheaper model for video and still end up with much less than one of the above models costs. Since you haven't mentioned video, I assume you don't need it. If you buy used and a new model you prefer does come out, you will most likely lose a lot less if you decide to replace it after all (though I've seen the D800 sell "used" for almsot as much as it costs new so this might be an exception). For what I need, if the D600 really exists with approx the same theoretical specs in the rumors and ISO is as good as the D700 then it would be just about perfect. I was in the same situation, tired of waiting and almost bought something. But I decided to wait a couple of more months. [/QUOTE]
