Go for a Nikon Refurb of the Nikon site. I saw them recently there for about $2300. Do not go gray, you have to have a Nikon warranty for a $2300 dollar camera IMO.

I have the D600, D7000 and D700. The D700 is by far the loudest shutter, noticible in a church like setting. The newer Nikons are much quieter, especially the D600.

Is all the people that will listen to this kind of pontification from people that have never owned the camera and may miss out on one of the finest cameras Nikon has ever produced. Mine has spots,...

As to the CA from the reviews I have read thats pretty normal. Software should remove most of it in raw.

Its about a guy that has one freaking spot on his camera making a mountain out of a mole hill, and enjoying every second of it with self righteous wrath at Nikon for his one spot. You guys take the...

We don't even konow if he has an oil spot, he has one spot, which is decidedly not the norm for the problem. The D700 was infamous for a dirty sensor when it first came out, huge amount of posts....

And thats 5. And one spot has NOTHING to do with the known D600 issue, which I have.   Sky is falling, sky is falling!

And you want him to start an issue with Nikon. You do realize that every dslr in existence probably has one spot on it, right?? Every newbie that comes in here reads crap like this and assumes...

Amadou, So with the D7100 and fast cards, you can basically shoot 2.7 fps with a full buffer? Isn't that pretty quick buffer clearing for a 24 mps camera and doesnt that mitigate the small buffer...

This would not be the issue other are refering to. My D700 has way more than 1 spot. So does my D600.

Not even close. At 1600 in raw the 7100 is a least half a stop cleaner.

Does not need a protector. And who cares if a cheap soft plastic protector is their. They are next to useless. First thing I do is throw them in a drawer.

Those three primes you mentioned would be a great start. Check out a place like KEH, I bought an excellent condition 35-70 2.8 for $300, a great walk around on the D600, plus its a macro. Also, F4...

Cropped quite a bit of course, tripod mounted. AF lock was quick and accurate.

Can you post a sample? Preferably one that shows the AF point.

Speaking sensor wise, its pretty much the sweetspot for FF nowdays, at least as a balanced shooting sensor. Sure the D800 will give you a bit more detail, but the D600 will give you a bit better...

A bigger buffer would be nice but the D7100 has fast enough processing power to shoot 2.7 fps buffer full. That's quick. So is 3.5 fps in 1.3 crop mode. My type of shooting would not be handicapped...

Buffer is too small, otherwise a great camera and a nice review. Still, the D7100 has fast enough processing power to shoot 2.7 fps buffer full. That's quick. So is 3.5 fps in 1.3 crop mode. My...
