What they have on their side is a sensor. That\'s kind of it... And I totally agree - low ISO their sensors are fantastic! I think I just have a totally different view of what\'s important in a camera system... In that ONE way they are kicking a$$ and for some people that\'s important and for others not.

The D4
A sensor is VERY important. For events, I would go so far to argue that the sensor is more important than lens sharpness.
For me, for events, the most important thing is AF accuracy/speed, shutter lag, and shot-to-shot follow up time (kind of related to FPS).
While I agree that the D4 seems ideal for wedding/event photography there aren\'t as many photogs willing to give up there hard earned money for one as there are photogs trying to get by with the equipment they have.
I\'ve seen plenty of Canon 5D & 5D2 in use still, are the AF speed and shutter lag are not great. I\'ve even seen xxD models occasionally as well. Some of the best wedding albums I\'ve witnessed are from photogs with very humble gear.
That\'s why I see the D600 geared more toward the typical wedding/event photogs, not the D4. If you can afford the best, way not get one, but for the rest of the money-strapped out there, it looks like a good alternative. Although, I\'m not sure that the venerable D700 could be bested by the D600 in a head-to-head competition where MP doesn\'t matter.
