    I was going to get the D800 but really can't handle the huge file sizes of the 36MP & frankly don't need to enlarge that much. D600, just announced, at 24MP FX seems like it might be a great choice. Have one yet? Thoughts?

    What lenses do you have and what kind of photography do you use them for? Probably more important than the camera...

    I currently have a D300 and am happy with it. I am toying with the idea of adding a FX body to supplement it. I intend to use the FX for normal photography (travel, etc) and reserve the D300 for races, etc where I need the extra zoom.

    I will take a used D700 over a new D600 for the following reasons:
    - Bigger body - better balanced with super telephoto lenses. The D600 is too small for my hands - just like my old D50, it is not comfortable for extended period of time. The D3/D3S has the ultimate fit but I don't want it because it doesn't have a in built flash and it is about $600-1000 more expensive in the used market.
    - Bigger autofocus zone with 51 points
    - Same battery and CF card as D300 - the D600 takes SD.
    - Built tough - my D300 has been in light rain, sand, etc and is a tank

    But that's just me and perhaps for you the D600 would be a great fit.

    If I could have had a DX at the time I might have. Truth is D600 is this year's shining star. No I do not like the need for a zoom lens to get as close to my subject as I'm used to. I can see my purchase of a 300 zoom in near future.
