[QUOTE="pforsell, post: 668997, member: 7240"] There's two sides to a DSLR, the digital side and the camera side. To me personally the camera side is more important than the digital side. I think the D600 series is quite full featured body, so the camera side differences are small or nonexistent. The digital side gives D800 series about 20% more linear resolution (7360 px wide vs 6000 px wide image). Worth it imho only at pretty modest price. It is not like, say D5500 vs D2X, where I'd choose D2X every time because of the body, controls, handling, battery and features, despite over a decade newer sensor in the D5500. What does D800E offer over your current model, that you can't do now? Better AF, I think, but what about frame rate and buffer? (I'm not familiar with either body, sorry. Just posing possible questions for you to ask). :) [/QUOTE]
