[QUOTE="Wiredin, post: 427272, member: 14607"] I got a D600 just before Christmas 2012, so pretty early after it's announcement. I had a D800 on order the summer of 2012, but ran into some financial concerns so I had to "step down" to the D600. I was, and still am, a Pentax shooter for over 12 years now. I was moving to a 35mm format camera because at that time it was all the rage. I choose Nikon because the control layout was closest to my Pentax cameras vs Canon. I also looked at the lens selection and fell in love with the 135mm f2.0 DC. After 8 months or so I sold my D600 (for more than I bought it for!) for a D800 and haven't looked back. Would I switch? No, probably not. I really love my D800. I still supplement it with my Pentax gear because my Nikon kit has been pretty unreliable in comparison (body is going out for repair for the third time since purchase). That being said, the D800/810 is the only camera I've enjoyed the feel off when I go check out the store for a second body. I could not go to a D750 or D610 because I really don't enjoy how those cameras feel or operate. P.S. I still plan on getting the new Pentax FF and D810 over the next 12 months. Why? The Pentax stuff has been more reliable, and I would like to have a backup for my D800. I'm buying the D810 to "upgrade" my D800, and apply for NPS so I don't have to wait 8 weeks for repairs!
