D600 Question: focus points too limited? A: Yes

I think for *most* people it's a total non issue, so the answer is not "yes" for everyone. For me personally, I came from DX where I almost had 100% AF coverage, and I haven't encountered a single situation where I couldn't easily get the shot with the D600 (in fact my keeper rate has sky rocketed). This is the first time I have heard of someone say they couldn't get a picture due to the focus layout. If you look at it VS the D800 layout, the difference is very minor, maybe 5-10% of the frame at most (Outer lines are the D800 layout). Both cameras have 11 focus points from left to right, and both systems fit completely within the DX frame. FX cameras cannot have focus points too far to the edges by design. I guess a very tall bride would be one of those situations where it might be a little more difficult but I think a wider lens would do the trick if it was a big issue.
