Sorry! I meant a used D600 for $1400.
I have used the 6d before and as much as I enjoyed it in the hands/ ergonomic-ly, I preferred my D600 at that time since as I already owned and are quite familiar at its working. The only difference at this time is the situation I'm in, in the way of receiving a refund of it and the opportunity of owning a Canon 6d and Canon 24 - 70 f/4 L IS combo for the price of a new D610 . Without the opportune availability of said so item I'd buy my friend's shutter replace D600 for $1400 and pocket the remaining cash. I really don't plan on owning anymore lenses and am also considering of selling the sigma and flash if I go on the Canon route and pocket that cash.
I've shot my D600 in different situation; from prof. pre - wedding photo shoot to wedding ceremony/ reception, family portraits/ events, birthday party, personal family vacation and I can about tell that the only thing I'm probably going to miss is its 100% viewfinder and dual SD card, if when I do decide to go to that 6d route. Dynamic range, faster fps and + af # points all dough nice to have really didn't come across to matter much in the type of photography I shoot. I've done some landscape shots in Whistler, Banff, Drumheller and Jasper some from 6d and my own D600 both pretty much equal to end/ final result after PP I invisioned, thought you could definitely push the D600 file more.
As for the 6d the wifi is nice, I can see some usefulness in it for my style of photography but can also do without it.
As for the lens, I do shoot wide on the sigma and its very good as an all around lens albeit I'm thinking is not as versatile as 24-70 range + that macro I can find some usefulness of it.
The real question really is should I buy a very good combo deal (canon 6d/ 24-70 f4 IS) feels comfortable to hands but losing a few points of dr, fps and af which doesn't really matter to my type of photography and sell my sigma 35 1.4 and sb 600 ($950) or buy used replace shutter nikon d600 with still some dust/oil issue (something I'm very familiar with also good in the hands but not as good as 6d) and pocket ($1000)?
I still don't know. Lol
Thanks for the reply dough.
