[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 338686, member: 13076"] My first Nikon was a D700 and then I got my wife a D7000 which I used as a backup camera. Well, doing some comparison shots I realized that the D7000 had better pixel resolution even though I liked the depth and feel of the D700 larger format images. Even though they had what looked like more optical detail, that just wasn't being resolved digitally to the same extent as on the D7000. Further to that, the D7000 was just quicker in autofocusing, got the exposures correct every time (not the case with the D700), and so I decided to sell my D700 and get a D800 (that was two years ago). I still have the comparison shots I could post later (they are on my home computer). I agree....look to a second hand D610 (not D600). Don't get me wrong, I loved my D700 in many ways, but to me the image quality was foremost. Also, the D610 and the D7000 both have partial magnesium bodies and weather sealed so pretty much on par with the D700 in terms of build although yes the D700 is probably a bit more rugged but not by much.
