I shoot a lot of events, both in and out of studio fashion, portraiture, events etc and carry two cameras at events or weddings, on two sling straps. The longer lends is on the D7000 and wide angle or 24-70 2.8 on the Fx, and never remember confusion with the different button layout but must admit the D800 is a quicker response and buttons or controls needed do not require taking the camera away from my eye, which is needed on Dx cameras. The common statement that different layout is a problem I think is greatly exaggerated.It sure does not seem to be a problem switching from auto transmission, to 4 speed to 6 speed manual so why it a problem for cameras.  After a few minutes switiching between left hand drive to right hand drive is not much of a problem either yet it changes everything in perspective and controls.The 2 images posted with D800 and D610 were close but the shadow detail was better and the tone transitions were smoother on the D800. The d600 was shot at -1ev and the D800 was at 0.0ev. so exposed 1 stop lower with the D600 and probably boosted in post. But overall, just like I mentioned in every post, by itself, no one could tell what camera took a particular shot with any reasonably modern Nikon camera. Up until the last year or so, you could tell a difference between cameras with Canon and Nikon. There was nothing in the Canon line with the DR, color depth or shadow detail being inferior to a D3300.  They are doing better with adding RAW non-defeatable noise reduction at the cost of fine detail at high ISOGet the lighting first...then if you have the desire and cash left over, the D800, with a grip(either 3rd party or Nikon) is an awfully sweet kit. Heavy but handles great.</blockquote>
