If there is no need for the latest most advanced features there is no point of investing hudreds of dollars/pounds/euros to a pro body. I had hard times deciding between D610 and D800, but finally I went for the D610. Looking at spec-sheets does not show the real differences. I must to admit I like the D800 better over the D610. It has larger viewfinder, more advanced AF system; it fits better in my hand. However the price difference is 500 pounds at least. This is a lot of money for me, thus I kept in mind that a body is just an expense, lens is an investment. I also kept in mind that I need low light shooting capability. This is the most important for me. It has dual SD card slot as well. It is kind of advantage for me. I do not need CF card. It costs more than the SD. This is another expense.. To summarize: Why should I go for the D800? It is a better camera, but I am not a professional. I don't mind if 1 picture will be out of focus in dim low light out of 3-4-5... I feel confident about investing more to higher quality glasses (like Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VR and a couple of nikkor primes) with a D610 will gives me advantage over the D800 with budget glasses... It is worthwhile to buy quality filters as well, like polar filter. That makes a big difference for landscape, etc...You have to make the decision, but I tell you that the D610 has a damn good sensor which compares to D800 for less then 500 Pounds. Not to mention the money that you can save with the SD cards... I hope It helps.Bence</blockquote>
