[QUOTE="441 Reppa, post: 99112, member: 11334"] I am stuck between a d800 and d600. I REALLY want a d700, however in my country Bermuda, they have new d700s for $2800. I cannot justify paying that much money for a 5 year old camera, then having to spend $$$ on lenses. About me, I am a hobbyist, I intend to become serious and I want a camera to grow into. I currently have a d80 and I would like to upgrade to full frame. I primarily shoot landscapes and I intend to start shooting portraits and children. I am not into sports photography. What appealed to me most about the d700 is the size. I am 6'5 and I have huge hands. Holding the d700 feels much better than holding the d600. I am loving the d600 price special right now, but I really would like a bigger camera. I am considering a refurbished d800 for the same price (once you include duty and wharfage) however, I am a bit worried about the 36MP. I do use a tripod at times, other times I like walking on the beach, or through trails and take shots.... However, I heard with 36 MP it leaves little room for error and pics/focus may appear soft if you are not perfectly still. To the d800 users out there, do you experience soft images when you do not use a tripod? [/QUOTE]
