Personally I can't see that this would affect a future DX body. When the D600 debuted, it offered people the chance to own an FX body for a much better price than any others by Nikon. Nikon was probably counting on its success. Even if and when Nikon debuts a replacement for the D600, there will be people who have decided to stay with a DX body. It would be in Nikon's interest to offer a new high end DX to fully renew interest in their products (IMHO).

I'd assume that the D7100 fills that niche, especially with the low-pass filter removed. They need to add additional features to the D610, or they're going to really upset current D600 owners. Many already feel jilted.

It seems to me that the bulk of the "professional" market has all moved to FX leaving few people willing to pay the kind of price a pro-level DX would run. It will be interesting to see whether or not a pro-DX is in the cards. Only time will tell.

I think the D600 was a great entry level full frame camera except for the oil issue. Now that is being addressed and I think potential owners will agree that the D600 / D610 has very good specs as an all around camera. If you can't capture great pictures with it, time to upgrade your skillz! ;)

I don't feel jilted. I'm speaking for those who have had continuous problems with the oil issues. I'm content with my copy. It's obvious to me that they're side stepping the issue and coming out with a new model. They're putting the D600 to rest, which will probably decreases the resale value. I don't think Nikon handled this problem as well as they could have.

If the specs really are the same, it's a great opportunity to pick up a new D600 and learn to clean a sensor. I've owned mine for about a year and have spent about 20 minutes during that year cleaning the sensor. Lol, looks like the D600 will end up at the pre-release speculation price of a $1500 Fx!

​Without any significant upgrades, I'll be keeping mine another year.

I suspect, like others have mentioned, the D610 simply corrects the dirty sensor issue of the D600 whose image has been tarnished. I also suspect they know how to fix the D600 issue and picking one up and then having it serviced if you have the dirty sensor issue will get the corrected shutter of the D610. My local camera shop told me they had eventually identified it as components being overlubed and slinging oil.
