[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 93573, member: 10447"] Well, I am a little overwhelmed by the number of responses, thanks Guys. Lots of sound advice there to mull over. I wont reply to each individual post , but just a broad reply to all. I think if I was to buy a 2nd hand D7000 ( the prices I have been seeing are $650-$750 for a good body) I dont think I would be loosing too much when I sold it on after 12 months. By then hopefully I could buy a D600 confident that the dust issue has been resolved. I have ruled out a D700, as they are going for $1600-$1700, I have seen 3 x 2nd hand D600;s this last week all going for around $1800 in Australia ( could also get a new grey-market one for about the same ) I havent started testing the local shops for new prices yet, but I see their advertised prices are around $2400, I think I could get them down a bit from there. Lens's are another matter. The argument for primes is definetely a good one, I can see myself having a couple of primes. But I think I am probably a bit lazy when it comes to changing lenses, and I think I will end up also with a good quality mid-range zoom for a walk around lens, which would stay on the camera 75 percent of the time. Maybe by the time I assemble a few lenses, the D600 will be sorted anyway, surely Nikon knows there is an issue and are working to remedy it. [/QUOTE]
