i had experience on D600 for a few week, indeed is a good switch from a D7000 user, provide you have FX lens to harness the true power of FF...amazing speed and buffer, plus it uses the same sensor and Expeed technology from D800 but in a cheaper package

but some small problem i found is that it uses back the same Focusing system in the D7000, so basically all the AF point are cramped in the middle...for me is pointless la for so many AF point all cramp in the middle
if got chance, try look at D300s model, all the AF points are fully covering the frame, but actually this is not a big deal

is same question, and the answer is invest in lens is far more better than body as the IQ is mainly from the lens that you are using
my faithful D50 and 85mm, which is still providing me with good color

Couple the D600 with a 50mm and you are good to go.

Full frame is great for wide angles. 24mm on full frame is plenty wide.

If you want a general purpose lens the 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 is good. Wide landscapes to portraits can be done. Coupled with the 50mm f1.8 and most normal situations can be covered. Who says you need lots of expensive glass?

I think the reason why you get a good price is possibly because of the announcement of the D610 (and also the D5300) which is just around the corner? hmm.gif
Unless if you are really buying in a hurry, do wait for the D610, the price of the D600 will be even lower then laugh.gif
If you insist on a D600, then please do check that its not the 1st few batches that suffer from the oil splattering issue icon_rolleyes.gif

it depends on what you shoot. The D7000 has some advantage over the D600.

I would just spend on better lens or lighting equipment rather than just upgrading the body.

how often you use the AF point on the most left or right?

24mm is more like 18mm equivalent on DX

sometimes i feel 17mm on FX still not wide enough for me.
