[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 92412, member: 8705"] I recently talked myself into staying with the 300s for the time being and spend time improving the thing holding the camera. This was after an in depth look at the D800 and all that would entail including a PC upgrade. Yesterday my friend offered me a D600 at a silly price as he gets industry insider friends and family offers for Christmas. I won't disclose the price but I could buy it and sell it in a year and get my money back without trying. After the initial excitement I sat down and thought about it. Unfortunately the D300s body and pro features are not there on the 600. If I'd never had the 300 it would be a no brainer, but I know it'll irritate me every time I use the 600 and something is missing or it simply feels less substantial in my hand. Has anybody made the same move and if so what did you think? Please note this thread is not knocking the 600 as it's a fine camera, it's just that in this case I will be going backwards in every respect except the sensor and video which I don't use. [/QUOTE]
