Re: Rumour - D600 to be announced by Nikon in Dubai on Sep 1At a quick glance that sounds exactly like a D7000, except for the sensor size.
EDIT There are few little differences, the D7000 has only a 3" screen but 6FPS. Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
Re: Rumour - D600 to be announced by Nikon in Dubai on Sep 1It doesn't say it takes pictures? On a more serious note, can it play BF3 at full resolution?

Re: Rumour - D600 to be announced by Nikon in Dubai on Sep 1oh dear, it's going to be one day after the iphone5 and ipad7(inch) launch. Bad timing on Nikon's part as the limelight will be taken by igadgets.
Re: Rumour - D600 to be announced by Nikon in Dubai on Sep 1I don't think Nikon will require any limelight for this. At these specs and price point the bloody thing will be even harder to come by than a D800E…

Re: Rumour - D600 to be announced by Nikon in Dubai on Sep 1my d700 is limping to the line, i hope this one is good. the a stop loss of SS and the AF are the only key concerns for me.
the price looks outrageous. cant see that happening. EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
Re: Rumour - D600 to be announced by Nikon in Dubai on Sep 1
Yes the 1/4000 rather than 1/8000 seems surprising to me - like an on purpose knobling vs the D800/D4 (however the D7000 can do 1/8000) If it did pan out roughly as expected and I did manage to get one I'd be looking for a UWA and midrange tele (I'm covered elsewhere) - like the 16-35/4 and 24-120/4 combo you have (or a 24-70/2.. I'm comfortable with the idea of the 16-35 (vs the 17-35 which appears to only have f2.8 as it's only virtue over the 16-35 or the 14-24 which I wouldn't get) however I'd be interested in your thoughts on the 24-120/4 (vs say a 24-70/2. - obviously it's got a longer focal range (which I'd like since I already find my 17-50/2.8 (on crop) restrictive at the long end (75mm equiv)), VR (which I also like) and cheaper/smaller/lighter. Apparently the IQ is fairly similar between the two with the 24-120 having a bit more vignetting at the wide end. The 24-70 has 2.8, faster AF? and pro build in it's corner.

you summed it up pretty well. I ran them both together for a couple of weeks when i had the 24-70. The 24-70 is a better lens producing better iq, no question about it. Its also certainly faster in af. But IMO, the increase in iq isn't enuf to justify its shortcomings which is range, size, weight, no VR. Don't care about "pro build". I'm not a pro and don't abuse my gear. I still have an 18-55 which still works perfectly. The 2 biggest downsides of it IMO is the crap lens hood...worst I've ever seen, (16-35 is the same), and the distortion at 24mm is unacceptable for people shots or key image components unless they are dead centre and a few meters from you. A horizon can be straightened pretty quickly but try straightening an egg head...not so easy. You can borrow mine and judge for yourself. I don't use it much tbh, I shoot with the 50/85 almost exclusively. EM1 l 7.5 l 12-40 l 14 l 17 l 25 l 45 l 60 l 75 l AW1 l V3
