New D610 or Used D800 for the same price?

Not sure which way to go but with a D610 - you get a warranty, faster fps, better high iso, larger pixels, lighter, slightly smaller, more manageable files.

Did I mention - warranty.
 
"It also depends from what you are coming. I had a D600 in my hands when I had a D300 myself and thought the D600 felt like a toy, probably same comparing D610 to D800."

You guys crack me up with your "felt like a toy" statements. LOL.
I agree - totally ridiculous.
not "felt like a toy" more like "didn't feel pro"... handling a D600 and then D800 is a real eye opener

life and death statements:

blows it out of the water

chalk and cheese

crippled.. (haven't heard that one for a time)

coke bottle glass

a toy

Since using (x) Never looked back.. (meaning.. we're all idiots using what he/she 'used' to use)

post you own... it makes me smile.

the reality is that most of the exaggerations describe incremental (though real) improvements.. it is also obvious that some buyers of the top end equipment do cannot 'see' these improvements in their photography.. just having 'the best' is, reassuring enough, for them.

Hello,

I have been reading some more about both cameras.

I have came upon the issue of the d800 and the 36 mpx sensor having problems focusing with fast lenses, mainly wide angle lenses on the 24-50 range.

Is that a real issue? Does it also affect the d610?

I am asking because I would like to go for the sigma art lenses 35 and 50 in the future.

The d800 is also said to have AF issues under artificial light or using AF assist from flashes.

I have a sb900 that I use indoors to bounce from walls and ceilings. So again, is this a real issue?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Cheers!
