I just got my D600 that I purchased to replace my stolen D7000. So far so good. Given that the AF system in the D600 and D700 seem to be closely related, and all of the issues I had with the AF system in my D7000 -- replaced first body and second had two trips to NY for adjustment, I felt compelled to test the new D600 to see if I would run into similar issues that I had on the 7000s.
Well I\'m VERY happy to report that at least initially there do not seem to be any significant AF issues on the body with either a 50mm f1.8G, 24-70 F3.5-4.5 VR, or a Nikon 300mm F4. This was true of both the central AF point as well as peripheral ones.
YAY!!! I did not want to go through that mess again. I also must mention that I\'m really liking this camera so far. HUGE improvement in the viewfinder (especially for MF), very good feel in my mid-sized but beefy hands, at least a stop 1/2 improvement in high ISO noise, and while others complain that this is a \"crap built\" camera, it seems to be me to be just what I expect at this price point (aka 1/2 way between a D7000 and D800) when considering features... and not really very different from the Canon 5D II that I\'ve shot with. Maybe some of these people need to buy one of those new Sony/Hassablads that were announced last week -- all form and glitzy materials...
