Is adding a D800 to my D600 the right thing to do?

[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 118956, member: 9521"] To be honest Jake, knowing how awesome the IQ of a D800 is, I would urge you to scrap your D7100 order and get what is IMO the best camera Nikon has ever made. I'm sure there will be an upcoming camera that knocks the D800 off this top spot but until then, the D800 is it. And don't take my word for it, just look at the many posts we've seen here on the board from seasoned photographers acting like little kids they got their first look at the images it produces. I can't even count the number of people who said they thought it was all hype until they started using one and then suddenly they understood why we all went bananas over this camera. Not only that but if history is any indication of the future, the D7100 will have an issue that is yet to be flushed out. It could be a minor issue and of no consequence or it could be a major issue and one that might entangle you for a lot longer than you would like. So on a very pragmatic basis, I would opt for a known entity like the D800 that produces amazing images despite the potential left focus issue (that seems to be a non-issue judging from the dropping level of complaints) rather than gamble on an unknown (or a yet to be known) entity like the D7100. But hey, that's just my 2 cents and truth be told, it's worth about half that much. :) [/QUOTE]
