[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 92476, member: 8705"] Thanks for the thoughts guys. I have done some more thinking today and it's looking like the D600 is the way to go at this stage (Albeit I reserve the right to change my mind ten times in the next twelve hours :-) ). I have come to this conclusion for a few reasons. Firstly, having downloaded some D600 and 800 raw files onto my PC and tried them in LR4, I have concluded that my current PC hardware can cope with the D600 files but will be tedious with the 800. At this stage I can't really justify an FX camera, lenses and a new PC plus OS. Secondly, if I get the 600 now, I can get it and a 16-35 F4 (To replace the Tokina 11-16) for about the same as the D800 body only, even at his special prices. I can therefore dip my toe into FX and build lenses before going for the D800 or whatever they think of next. Thirdly, if I buy the 600 at this price I can get my money back after a year of use, so I can't really lose there. Fourth, I can live with/ work around the feature limitations when I see the IQ and high ISO performance. I'll let you know what I end up doing. [/QUOTE]
