I was actually comparing all three. I sold my D7000 when it failed me at a wedding and bought a D700. I recently added the D600. I posted here because I think many DX users are interested in the D600, but probably wondering about the focus module.

Excellent shots and indeed, many Nikon DX folks are looking hard at the D600. Thanks for sharing. BTW, how would you rate the metering in matrix with the new RGB sensor?

Dear Mako,

I was very, very impressed with the metering matrix. Almost all of the D600 exposures were spot-on, even backlit situations with sunlight pouring in from a rear window.

One thing interesting to note is that it does NOT handle flash exposures very well. All of my TTL flash exposures with the D600 are way overexposed, no matter the aperture setting. I use third party flashes by Yongnuo, so I'm not sure if they are compatible with the D600 or if my D600 has a metering problem. It works fine with the onboard flash. Just FYI for anyone using Yongnuo flashes.

Other than that, the meter is uncanny. Much better IMO than the D700.

Thanks,

John
