Another pro's D600 vs D800 comparison, let the flaming begin...

My guess is that his point was all about this:

"There is nothing I hate more than reading a shootout review or article in a magazine comparing two or more cameras and at the end, the writer really doesn’t choose one or the other, they just kind of leave you with “Well, it depends on what you’re needs are, they’re both great cameras.” Well, duh. Every purchase we make depends on what our needs are. Well, I don’t want to leave you with that either... "

By which I mean to say that his point may be simply to distinguish himself from other reviewers and pundits by expressing a definite opinion. It seems to me that Scott Kelby is a very effective marketer, who understands the importance of brand recognition and standing out from the crowd. He takes a calculated risk in doing this, but I would surmise that he chose the recommendation that is most likely to suit the majority of his target market.
