worth changing to G version then?

I did a quick comparison with the D and G, one obvious changes are the contrast rendition. The G are more punchy than the D while at wide open, the G have better clarity and sharpness compare to D. I have yet to try the D in low light but obviously the G have an advantage on the focusing with AF-S.

Its entirely on your budget, personally, I would get the G smile.gif

I'm wondering if the D600 grip style is similar to D7000, or uses the newer design like the D800?

Side note, MB-D12 what's the market price like ah? I kept hearing 'expensive'... I checked SSK.com, RM1288 >_< so what's the street price like?

D600 uses the new D800 style. Priced at RM900+/-

So I was wondering, with the release of D600, seems like lots of DX users are planning to upgrade to FX. But looking at the upgrade costs (around rm8k for D600 and one FX lens), probably it's better to stay with DX and buy a 70-200mm instead.

Is a body change (DX to FX) marginally better than a 70-200mm on DX? :\

It boils down to application. If you shoot tele more (like me) a DX body are more worth it for the 1.5x crop. If on FX body, you did better off with a 1.4x TC on the 70-200. Some people doesnt mind to use DX lenses on FX body since the FX body are like having 2 bodies in one. I used my 18-70mm on D4 for its light weight compared to the 28-70

Getting FX lenses ain't expensive if you know which older lens to compensate which new ones. That is how I switch to FF, by getting old lenses smile.gif
