u got D4...this one D7000...diff league

if i use 3D tracking for still shoot or portrait most of the time will OOF

heheh me too 

AF-C + 3D makes my life easier for general shoots with moving subject or recomposing.. 
I uses AF-S + Auto Area for the rest of the time though...

My friend bought a D600 from me last month. today he bring it back to me in this shape


That D600 Was attach with a Nikkor 24-70 F2.8 when it fall down from a table (4ft height).
The metal lens mount Teardwon from the D600 and the stick on the back of 24-70..
We brought it back to nikon malaysia service center today and they said the cost of repair it back to fully functioning might cost another D600... (at the end he buy another new D600, and will leave this in his dry box for the rest of his life..)

Guys, do not hold your D600 with 1 hand when a heavy lens attached. The Metal lens mount is stick on that piece of plastic (D700 and D800 are on metal body)

what's stopping you then??

Single Point (Middle) and AF-C
If you use large aperture like f/2.8 then your DOF will be more shallow, so use smaller aperture to get more DOF

If the image Out Of Focus, the fast shutter speed won't make any difference.

Also when you use AF-C mode, there are additional settings in the menu like Release when LOCK-ON (or something like that), which means, it only allow you to capture the image when it's actually LOCKED ON (but this doesn't mean it's 100% accurate, just it won't let you capture if the camera didn't lock on focus).
Another setting is how long delay before it re-focus, by default there is some delay, so it won't refocus when the subject moves. For your scenario, the subject is moving towards you, so you might not want the delay? Try and experiment it yourself, but firstly, using smaller aperture will help. Shooting in broad daylight, you don't need to use the largest aperture available on your lens.

AF-C
and 3D mode is my fav mode of all! 99% usage

Works fine in most situation!
Making focus and recompose so much easier!

Wow thats quite insane!

What about the 24-70? Is it alright? Thanks for the heads up about the metal mount on D600

Really ar... Lol.. did you lose focus while doing it?

Maybe you can try at AF-C Release shutter when subject is focus.. Some lenses might focus slow and that 'might' be the reason why.. Just a guess!

hmm according to facebook... the 24-70 is alright... still smooth and sharp. but the D600 (RIP) 

maybe lor, that's why i usually use AF-S single point, since my camera only have 11 AF point

but if shoot panning, i find AF-C + auto area more accurate 
that's sad, but 24-70 got no tripod collar, so everyone who hang their 24-70 will have a chance for the mount to came off?
can sell the 24-70 and get another D600

guys, have anyone of you compared all the 50 1.4 yourself?

Sigma 50 1.4
Nikkor 1.4G and 1.4D

which performs best optically?

man..that's tragic death to d600..i once hanged 2470 on my d5100..nothing fell off ar..hahah..i think i even hang those 70-200 jz like that..bt not for long la..cz it's damn heavy on the neck
