Yeah, definitely will need more storage especially if you are shooting alot
I've become very strict with my photos lately to save space since I've only got 256GB
And its better to backup in multiple 1TB HDDs rather than saving all in one

Just use couch cushion or anything similar?

I think you should shoot more bro before spending more

Well, don't shelf your camera until fungus germinate
I remembered I always bring my D90 everywhere I go until my friends are all afraid of me But if I get exp, why not? hehe XD

A good photo is a good photo regardless of which mode you used yo
A better camera will only help you to get a desired shot easier, but in the end it depends on you whether the shot is good or not. Of course, its easier said than done haha, that's why need a lot of practice

Based on what I know:

1. The oil and dusts won't be that obvious at that particular F range. But then, there are plenty of times when one needs to up the aperture value

2. I think whether the clustered AF points will affect the user or not depends on his shooting style... I suppose it won't be too limiting since we can always recompose or crop. Still, better ask the actual users for better feedback

3. Most people say that the oil splattering issue will go away after awhile (though the actual no. of SC is not fixed). After all, how much oil can there be?
Post-processing softwares are pretty smart nowadays, and can help ID and remove spots/oils fairly easily. Just that most people are not happy that such an issue still exist when they've paid so much money for the D600.

Personally I think the price of the D600 will go down even more when there are more D610 owners. If you really want a D600, its better to buy it then. Otherwise save for a D610 instead. Although Nikon offers free sensor cleaning, you will waste a lot of time and effort going to-and-fro from the centres, and you will miss a lot of shots during that time. And like what the sifus here have mentioned, Nikon will probably start charging for sensor cleanings after warranty is over Removed based on silverfire sifu's comment.

Free cleaning forever?

Its just a guess haha, but the price can only go lower since there's no demand?
And there's not much D610 users yet, that's why many are rushing to sell the D600 while they still can

Thanks for sharing sifu, that is very good to know haha
At least D600 users do not need to worry so much about spamming SC to make the oil issue go away within the warranty period

True true, but I think the price can go lower since everyone is so negative about it

Awesome shot man

Buy buy

A bit hard to see the bokeh since there's glass at the back
Sorry about that, thought you were referring to the background bokeh
Are you referring to the out of focus on the teddy bear?
But hell that is one fine-looking gurl

Anyway, saw this in UM car park a couple of days ago:

Mini Cooper 2 by PF T.J., on Flickr

What really caught my attention was the 89-Leica decal on its hood and sides. I wonder whether there's any association between Coca Cola and the number 89 in the past

Or was it just an indication that its a 1989 Mini Cooper and the owner uses a Leica?

Using extension tubes or reverse mounts will definitely be cheaper than using dedicated macro lenses
Of course, since they are cheap, they have some drawbacks. But usually this drawbacks are not that significant unless if you are trying to shoot moving or sensitive subjects

Woah, great one bro
I missed the green tea Kitkat there
Very delicious~

I suppose there's no real need for the cleaning kit apart from the blower?
