[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 105509, member: 9240"] Absolutely not. My wife is a major bird nerd, so we spend a lot of time staring at trees and shrubs. A nice cropped sensor camera is great for birding. My Sigma 150-500mm would still be nice and sharp on the D600, but I'd spend a lot of time cropping photos given that it's acting like a 225-750mm on my D7000. The 8-16mm is a DX lens, so it buys me little on the D600, so if I'm out doing landscape stuff I can keep the 28mm or 50mm f1.8 on the D600 and the Sigma stays on the D7000. Saves me from swapping lenses. Before it got real cold I spent several chilly mornings in the field behind my house with the D600 on one tripod and the D7000 on another waiting on a sunrise. One of the truly nice things is that they both take the same battery, so it's not a lot to think about to have both bodies. The D90, on the other hand, is sitting around a lot. Contemplated converting it to InfraRed, but then read about some issues shooting with that body in IR and RAW and decided I'd be better off sitting on it for a bit and tossing the money I'd spend on a conversion into the lens pool.
