Really good info, DJ. Looks like Nikon has done it up quite nicely with the d600. Thanks for doing the review!

DJ- Those look great, I was actually curious about how clean the 3200 looked in real situations that I might run into, so that worked well haha. How was the AF in the lower light?

Dj how does the autofocus compare to the D300/s in speed and strength on non-motor af lenses like the 80-200d if you're able to compare?

Justin... it's surprisingly good. I know Will (Trenchmonkey) has praised the D7000's AF performance a fair bit, but before the D600 I really didn't have any significant experience with the MultiCam4800 system. With hockey, at least in this case, I had some fairly contrasty jerseys to grab AF focus, but I've also tested the D600 with the D700 back to back in dimly lit rooms with not a lot of contrast, and the D600 APPEARS to at least equal the D700 in speed with various lenses, but also in ability to grab focus on low-contrast subjects in those rooms, maybe even a little better. At the very least it's comparable and splitting hairs.

Diavolo... unfortunately I no longer have a non-AFS lens except a Sigma fisheye - maybe not the best test lens for that purpose. However in testing the D600 and D700 back to back for speed with it, there seems to be no difference between the two bodies for sheer acquisition time going close focus to far and back again. Strangely the D600 motor seems higher-pitched with this lens, but the speeds seem very comparable. Not surprisngly I guess the D3S is quicker and more "muscular".
