In my case I would go A99 which is supposed to be based around the same Sony sensor as the D600 with some improvements. Then again, two of my four lenses are APS-C only, including my Carl-Zeiss zoom, so I'd have to update those anyway.

My initial thoughts were that the D600 was way overpriced. The more I look into it, the more I see it's a decent value.

I wish it had a little higher FPS... 5.5's pretty low. Also it tops out at 1/4000. I can't count how many times I wish my D90 went to 1/8000!

D800 is even slower FPS but has some extra features and body strength that seem to make it worth the extra $900.

The decision to make a purchase for me is quite easy; I've no free time and I don't shoot anything any more. No need to buy anything :p

Exactly on that same boat... :(

On the shutter deal I think i've only once or twice wished to have 1/8000, but I guess to each is own.

I still think the D800 much better than the D600.

That's a no-brainer... Though buying $3,000 worth of camera equipment when I don't make a living out of it, is pretty hard to justify :p

I saw some comments on the a99 on dpreview, that price will be $2800 body only? That's d800 territory :p

I thought it was 2800$ and the D600 is a bit over 2000$ Sure hard to justify. I do make a bit money on my shots. I am a 5dmIII guy but i keep giving the eye to the D800. Its really nice. LOL. The D600 is the same as the 6D to me. Just does not do it for me.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...

      They’re really desperate to ingrain AI into society hoping to tug the heart strings of public to jump unto the boat of destruction to humanity’s individualism.
