where there’s smoke there’s forum fire
PB PM...thanks for the reply and sorry, knew that...my mistake.
Question is though, for my non-professional requirements, would this lens do justice to a great camera like the D600 or am I really better off in the long run going with maybe the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G VR and 70-300mm VR combination?
As mentioned earlier, lots of travel, family pics and surfing pics. Want to do large prints at 300dpi.
Cheers,

Rather than trying to get everything in one lens, with all of those compromises, I went with the two lens setup you mention, the 24-85mm and the 70-300mm. With the $100 off the kit lens and $200 off the 70-300mm when you buy them together, I also thought it was a better deal.
Good luck, sarrold!
Thanks very much for the reply roombarobot, appreciated.
Hope your decision has worked out for you...good luck also!

Hi. Reviving a dead thread again for a D600 vs 6D comparison. The 6D has arrived in Singapore at the Canon shop. First impressions of the 6D vs D600. 6D seems better built right of the bat. the D600 wasnt shabby but the 6D almost feels like a 5d3. 6D High ISO( JPEG and RAW) is very similar to the 5d3. Couldnt take any sample images and video as the card door was taped over. The AF area on both camera's are tiny. In fact I think this camera is worse because at least the D600 can track sports with the 39 points but with 11 you need to be really on your toes when it comes to keeping that middle point on the subject. The hyped up middle point is not that impressive. I didnt do a -3ev test because it was in the brightly lit shop but from my experience of both you really need to be in some seriously dark conditions to see the D600 hunt. The shutter even on non silent mode is very quiet. The wifi and the GPS work fine I must say. They are not as useless as some people make it out to be imo. IQ is very good. In JPEG I wouldnt hesitate to use up to 25,600 for web use. In RAW i wouldnt try to go above 6400 however. Bascially, very similar to the D600. Overall, unless you need the wifi+GPS feature or you are dug in with canon, the 6D is trumped by the Nikon.
