Ok, sorry what's IDK?

IDK = I don't know ;p

Personally, I still think the D600 is a nice and nifty camera. But for someone like me who often shoot with natural light and also, frequently using outer points, the cramped D600 AF points bothers me quite a bit. At first I thought it wouldn't be too bad, at first focus and re-compose, but after trying it for a shoot, I had to give up on it.

It may be my lack of skill, but for now I think the D800E's wider spread and better AF points may be better for me. Previously with my 5D3 and 1DX, I didn't have such issues with outer focus points but the D600 gave me focus hunts and focus misses.. and I have to focus and re-compose. Under evening light, I was on wide open aperture and focus and recomposing was walking on thin ice.

The AF point is something we have to live with. But for the focus issue, I think your camera (D600) could be a bad copy. I used the outer points after golden hours and focus is still snap on.

Hope so. Didn't have the money like those gadget reviewers to buy multiple copies to test ;p

Anyone heard of this new camera shop in Funan called 25 Cam? Was walking around on Thursday and saw it on the 3rd floor i think? Or 4th, can't quite remember. Anyway they had one copy of D600 quoted me $2675. Ended up getting at John 3:16 for $2700 (their last piece! Told me next shipment in few weeks time) together with a bunch of other stuff though.
 

Just got my Nikon MB 14D from Johor for RM$700. Is about $280 sing :-)
