Re: I'm ready to move to the Nikon FX line. Is the D4 image more nuanced and lively than the D800?

Good points, but be careful recommending the D600 for video. It has a cropped off black border around the image and other problems...I think they are trying to sort it. Currently you have to upscale the video about 5% to actually get 1080.
Wow. Just wow.
The amount of stuff people spread on these forums and claim to be the truth is quite amazing, and unfortunately a lot of people believe what they read here.
The 12-15 pixel wide border around the image is only an issue when using HDMI out which is a somewhat specialist use of the camera and not something most people will encounter. If you record in-camera (like 99% of users probably will) you get 1080p without any problems.
One does lose faith in humanity ever so often these days; I was so lucky to be visiting Grand Canyon in October and heard someone say to his large bunch of friends (which all agreed and oooh'ed by the way) that this would be the time to have an iPhone 5 since it can do panorama shots... That's the average Joe for you; of this large group of people not a single one knew that 1) iPhone apps for this use have been available for along time and 2) Other cell phones have had this functionality for 2-3 years already...
Firstly, don't cry - I made a slight error it only appears on HDMI monitors, okay. Secondly, if you are using the camera professionally for video, like people used the mark 2 canon then you would be using this function - and therefore it's a dumb function. Explain to me why it would be good to have black borders on your monitor? Aperture locked during video? How can these be good functions? It has an evident oil to sensor issue, more apparent than any nikon. Just like people denied the AF issue with the D800 this will come out.
I already said it, yes Nikon bricked purposely the D600 to avoid cannibalizing D800 sales. Another reason for that could be the fact that Sony forces Nikon to keep the manual video options bricked.But now Nikon is on its way to fix the aperture issue after receiving our complaint letter. Anyways, I'd still rather shoot with full manual lenses for obvious reasons, but not being able to swtich aperture on dedicated Nikon G lenses is in fact pure nonsense. (this also counts for lower end models). Besides some oil spots (that show up after F8, especially when shooting long exposures), the Nikon D600 is a gem of a camera. And again, all brand new cameras may be prone to oil spots due to mechanical lubrication but many photographers will not notice them until shooting landscapes.
