I know the D600 just came out. I however purchased my D800 about a month ago. I cant be more pleased. It is sharp, easy to use, and seems no more bulky than my D7000 (I know technically it is heavier and a bit larger). I have been shooting with my 50mm 1.8 and Tokina 100mm 2.8 and the Nikon 70-300 VR, I have to say it is noticeably sharper than my D200, and even the D7000. I was worried about the file sizes, certainly they are large but so far not a real issue. We always have to manage our space and cost of space for storage. Here is a shot with no editing, used an SB700 flash. It does have the green tint that has been an issue but it is easy to adjust in the white balance menu. Who should get this camera? Professionals, who need a format and enough pixels to go large with the final print. Art photographers and wedding photographers. For almost everything else my D700 will do just fine in fact it will do fantastic. DONT Buy that DSLR
If you are not a professional photographer and want a great camera to photograph your family events, and video family events, I like the Sony HX200V the camera comes with a 30xzoom (about 800 mm lense) it will make prints up to 16x20 that are crisp and clear and the video is usually very sharp. In one camera you go from 24 mm wide lens to 800 plus mm telephoto in a package you can easily fit in your purse and for a price under $450. Don't buy the DSLR, this camera will handle pretty well any task you give it as it relates to family and personal photography. A great vacation camera.... I have the predecessor the HX100 V , it simply is excellent.
