I wish I had converted in time to get the D600 + kit lens + bonuses from B&H on Dec 14... Any outlook on if that kind of deal will come back anytime soon?
I am reading the oil/dust issue was way overblown.....still, is it not wise to buy from gray market?
I wouldn't mind a used D600 at all... Is the best I'm gonna do for a while is buying one from Fredmiranda forums for about $2000 new including kit lens? Not too bad except for missing out on maybe $100 worth of accessories via the B&H deal...
Hope the forums here are as alive and fun as the POTN Canon forums. I got kinda sick of the fanboys there--almost as bad as Apple fanboys............the worst kind there is That's not the biggest reason why I converted to Nikon, however. As much as the DxO comparisons are quite compelling, I knew I wanted to go full frame for better portrait color depth. I had the old Rebel T1i (500D). I also want the low light performance of a FF. I didn't want to go with the ancient AF system on the 5D mark2 and pay over $1300 for used...... I would pay about that much possibly for a D700, but I would miss video too much. I almost went with a 5D classic which would have only set me back $500!!
In order to switch to a D600, I'm going to have to settle for maybe 2 lenses for now...I had 6 for Canon. I think it will be worth it to have Nikon's AF system and superior sensor. I hear Nikon lenses are a little cheaper in general--I hope..!
I'm going to list all my Canon gear today on Craigslist and POTN. FYI I have tons of feedback on POTN and other forums such as Head-Fi.org - Headphone forums and reviews for audiophiles.
My name is Justin...
Pleased to meet you Any advice for me and my particular situation would be greatly appreciated! Canon, I renounce you!!!!
