I think the handicapped AF will slow a few down.
The rumors are that it will get pretty much the same AF system as the D7K, which is no slouch.
I read in another thread here that the D7K isn\'t as happy with TC\'s and especially Superzooms as a D300s, but that is a (relatively) small group of folks. Having seen plenty of work from Trenchmonkey with his D7K\'s, including lots of BIF and rodeo work, I don\'t think you can call the AF \"handicapped\" (though a good operator doesn\'t hurt, either )
I think the bigger gap is for those of us looking for a D300s replacement. But honestly, I just got a D300s to replace my D90, and I couldn\'t be happier. Yeah, I\'d like ISO 100 and some additional ISO/DR, but the D600 has kind of freed me from wondering about my next camera for a while. I chose the D300s over a D7000 for handling and over a D400 because it might never exist. The D600 just isn\'t interesting to me unless it is crazy cheap (think $1499 or less). Even then, I\'m so happy with the handling of the D300s that I\'d probably just buy a D700 over a D600.
My guess is the D600 will come in at $1899 or $1999 and do very well for a whole lot of people, but I won\'t buy one.
