The simple fact is people like you who would pay a premium for a pro DX body are a very small segment of the market. That is the issue not the merits of DX for the uses you describe. There simply wouldn't be enough takers at the price Nikon would have to charge for a full pro bodied D300 successor to make sense. You wouldn't choose the D600 even if it was just couple hundred more than the pro DX camera but the vast vast majority of the market would.
I respectfully disagree. Let's define a "Pro" body first. Must it have magnesium frame & weather resistance? Probably, but not absolutely necessary. Full, ergonomic control of exposure functions, focus choices, shutter, recording functions, etc . Absolutely. Should it have high frame rate and long life shutter? Yup. Absolute best in class AF? Without question.
Nikon already makes a body like this. How much R&D would it take to place a modern sensor & upgraded processor in this body?
Next question. How many DX users with 2 or 3 DX lenses would be tempted to spend $1700 dollars to get a "Pro" camera with performance that blows their low end/mid range camera away without the need to spend a lot more for the lenses which FX requires?
A DX camera like this can do just about ANYTHING, unlike a D600. OK, the DOF is a little thinner with FX. But, DX is wider! OK, the ultimate print size is larger and you can crop a little more. DX has more reach for each focal length. FX has wider field of view. FX has, perhaps, a stop more low ISO, a slightly higher dynamic range and less high ISO noise. With today's technology, those advantages are getting narrower and losing relevance because DX and m4/3 sensors are getting so good. Comme ci comma ca.
I do not think "the vast majority of the market" would necessarily choose a D600 for more money. Some would. Some have...... because there hasn't BEEN a Nikon alternative as we've described. Wait till there is! I'm waiting.
