Bottom line
The Nikon D600 is a really good camera for the money, as long as you're willing to shell out for the lenses that can do it justice.
An excellent dSLR for experienced shooters or Nikon professionals looking for a relatively cheap option, the Nikon D7000 delivers on almost all counts, including the company's best shooting design to date.
For Nikon devotees looking for the fastest body available, the D4 delivers.
While it's not a no-brainer upgrade over the Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III is worth the price premium if better performance and configurability matter to you.
