Actually, I stand corrected on that, I mis-remembered the DXO rating. I quite frankly still find the D700 better at high ISO (better noise patterns, the D600's advantage in DXO ratings is due to extra DR, rated SNR is quite close).

The D600 has a total of 1EV advantage over the D3/D700 at High ISO (mix of midtones and shadow improvements) , with less banding and without the High ISO blooming issue of the D3/D700 sensor.

The D700 and D3 are cleaner at high ISO than the D600/D610, every objective test and the DXO ratings confirm this. The D750 improves on both, as does the Df. The D600/D610 remain the weakest FX bodies for high ISO (they are very good, everything else is simply better)

That simply is not true.
D750 vs D600 vs D700
Sensors of D600/D610/D750/Df are pretty much the same, all are superior to D700's. At least 1 stop better. Having used D700 for a long time, I think ISO 1600 on D700 is not as clean as ISO 3200 on D600 with double the resolution.

The D700 has a 1/8000 max shutter rated to 150k cycles. The D600/D610 have a 1/4000 max shutter rated to the same life. D700 has 1/250 sync, the D600/D610 is 1/200 sync. Dunno how you get a better shutter from a clearly lower spec unit with less capability. Only advantage the D610

Well your first point is simply not true. You can keep telling yourself that, but it does not make it so.

Second point on the shutter. Yes the D700 has higher specs mechanically but it also has scared more critters off for me than I can remember. The D600 has a muted click instead of the D700 loud "Ker-Clunk".

I would like a dedicated AF-ON button, but really how hard is it to use the AE? Not hard at all. And "pro" style setting? Meh

Shallow grip compared to the D700? Yeah it is, but so what? I have large hands and I prefer the D600.

Lastly virtually EVERYTHING you have listed can be attributed to personal preference with the exception of IQ and in my opinion the D600 is "better"

I still have a D700 and guess what? It is a good camera, maybe the best Nikon has ever produced (personal opinion) but sorry overall at least for me the D600 is still the better value and a better performer, but then again you assured me that most everyone will agree with you, so I guess that is moot.

I guess at the end of the day it's up to the OP to decided what is best for them but to definitively state that the D700 is FAR better than the alternative is just wrong.
