[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 122844, member: 9240"] Call me jaded, but as someone who has been a member for a year reads as you ask about a choice between two cameras, pointing only to the known issues in one and speculating about similar issues with the other, while offering what may or may not be a tongue in cheek out of choosing a different brand, I believe I have every right to be. You come in cold, with no other introduction, walking and talking like a duck. So forgive me if I assumed you were one. Would it have been better if I simply said, "Buy the more expensive camera, because at least you know about those issues."? Truth is, you haven't given us anything to go on other than that you'd been pondering the D600. You can read all over this forum, and particularly from me, that the D600 has dust issues. At least mine does and has since the day I took it out of the box. I deal with it because the images are that good, and it's a problem I can work with and around. I pondered replacing my D7000 with a D7100, but for all the good on paper I find the fact that they equipped it with a buffer that the camera is capable of exhausting in one second a deal breaker. Couple that with the superior IQ of the FX sensor and for my purposes - which may or may not match yours - I'd grab a second D600 before a D7100, and actually bought a D800 instead for reasons that are stated elsewhere. Oh, and I have a brother with tens of thousands of dollars of Canon glass at his disposal that I could borrow almost at will. I'm not switching. [/QUOTE]
