[QUOTE="Disorderly, post: 130943, member: 10297"] Crop sensor lenses and camera bodies are cheaper than their full frame equivalents. Smaller image areas for smaller sensors means less glass, which means lighter and smaller. Do if you want the bigger sensor, which has benefits if you know how to use them, you can expect to pay more both in dollars and in the weight of the gear you carry around. And they tend to be even heavier and more expensive than that, since photographers who care are likely to demand stronger and more reliable components. The D600 feels more like a big consumer body, while the D800 is heavier and feels more professional and higher end. [/QUOTE]
