wow, sounds like people on the fence should really consider buying the D600 Kit, I compared the D600 body to the my D7000 body, and the initial price did seem high, I bet over time, the D600 will trend down, to being a 1600-1800 price, and the D800 to a 2700 price.
The D800 is a great price too. I am glad I am out of the camera buying cycle (every 4 years).
