[QUOTE="Deezey, post: 182869, member: 13223"] Bill. You are really in a pickle here. The D700 is a fantastic workhorse of a camera! It has proven itself time and time again. It will produce stunning images as long as you do your part. The only negative is not much there for cropping. But I noticed you like the macro shots a lot....so will that matter to you? The D600 is the new kid on the block. And unfortunately it has had some growing pains. While the sensor is amazing...it still seems to be a coin flip on getting a good one or not. And personally I try not to leave purchases to luck. But then again....you will either need to clean or have your sensor cleaned on any dSLR eventually. How much do you like to get hands on and/or tinker? Now for the computer issue. Any mid priced box store computer can handle the files from the D700. Let's face it....they are just smaller. But the D600 should still be doable with the same big box store cheapie computer and a cheap RAM upgrade. You will have issues with stitching images or stacking. And maybe the occasionally large HDR shot. But at most it just may take the computer a few to get it all sorted. By far the slowest would be going from card to computer.....but that's an easy fix with just a second card and some more free time to get back out and shoot. I would ask yourself do you need the 24mp? Will you be wanting to crop down some? Do you maybe not mind the hassle of getting a lemon and having to clean it a lot? If you don't want or need all that...D700 all the way. But then again....if you don't mind cleaning a sensor......the D600 would be the winner. If you are lucky to get a good one.....it just plain beats the D700....in some areas not by much....but it still beats it.
