[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 196062, member: 9240"] Everyone has to make up their own minds about just how much of a personal issue the spots are with the D600. As was mentioned, mine took 2 trips to Nikon before the problem cleared up, but it has been remedied. To your question, I will say only this: I have a D600 and a D800, which I purchased prior to sending the 600 to Nikon the first time. Since getting my D600 back I would say that it gets 85-90% of the clicks. Why? I find the images to just be "better" from the D600. Larger pixels allow for more light information and I just seem to prefer the images I get from the D600. Not to say the D800 doesn't take superb photos. For me, though, the file sizes I get at 36MP's are bigger than I want in most cases, and I find I only use it when I'm shooting wildlife and know that I'll likely be cropping (and possibly shooting in DX mode). Trading in one for the other doesn't make sense to me if the only reason for changing cameras is the spots. If the D800 has other functions that you wish the D600 had and find it hard to live without, then that's a different story. They're both great cameras with their pros and cons. As for lenses, my "unholy trinity" consists of the 16-35mm f4, the 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 and the 70-200mm f4. I love the kit lens and have no "need" for the f2.8 from an IQ perspective (though that could change if I used one). I purchased the 16-35mm over the 14-24mm because it allows me to use filters (I love using ND's with the ultrawide around water). I bought the 70-200mm f4 to save weight, and I am extremely happy with the images I'm getting from it. [/QUOTE]
