Nikon D600 may not be so "budget" after all

[D&A]

This is the camera many current and previous D700 users were hoping for. A 18-24mp body with high ISO performanceof at least one stop better than the D800 and frame rate of approx 6FPS in a robust D700 type body. It doesn't have to match the D4 for ultimate high ISO perfornace or itsmax frame rate but something thats as much as a standout in capabilities regarding its strengths as was the D800 with regards to resolution and build quality.

There would still be room for a D600 too but aparently the need for this mini D4 is something thats often mentioned.

Curiously, the d800 and the d600 cost the same per pixel.
(about .008¢)

from my perch in the Leica world (with M8 and M6), this sure is budget. i really like how Nikon is making FF DSLRs smaller and smaller (while Leica seems intent on making FF DRFs larger and larger) ... hmmm ... i should probably give this camera a try to see how life is back with a DSLR. i shoot mostly street photography and simply have never really done that with an SLR/DSLR ... that's my only point of hesitation (even though i know some folks do great street work with DSLRs) ...
