I know the biggest difference for me when holding a d600 is the controls. I played with one the other day and to be frank, the controls are the same as other consumer cameras. In manual mode it's very difficult to be fast. I guess after using it for a bit I would get more use to it but my initial impressions it it felt clumsy when trying to run through the controls. Image quality was awesome tho.

I don't understand. When you are in manual mode on the D600, why is it more difficult to be fast compared to other Nikons?

First, I don't own a D800 but I do own the D600, D3 and D4. And I have tried the D800 but the biggest irritant for me is the loud shutter click. I know that sounds picky and maybe I'm sensitive to sounds but the shutter sound is very different than the many Nikons I've used. The D600 on the other hand has such a sweet soft sound. Having said that, it would not stop me from buying the D800.

My D600 is quieter, the shutter sounds like mush.
Yes the D800 is probably twice as loud unless you use the "Quiet mode" or LiveView.
But you could hear my two D3 cameras clack from across a Horse Arena.

Coming from a D3 the D800 sounds good to me and the D600 sort of sickening.

I repeat, "Get Hands On before you buy".

36MP... I thought I did not need it, but once I started using the D800, I don't want to give it up.
