I have owned the D610 for about a year and a half now, it's been a really great camera. I am amazed at how well it does with the higher ISO's. I just took a picture of the milky way. It was a 25 second exposure with an ISO of 2500 and it looks great. I used a Nikon 14 to 24mm lens to get this shot.

At the time I bought this camera, it had just been released. It was obvious that it was just a replacement of the troubled D610 and at the time the D800 was having focus problems. I plan to keep it for a few more years, might upgrade to the D810 or it's equivalent. By then who knows what the technology is going to be like

You sure heard a lot about the D-600 which I have. It suffered from oil spots. I cleaned it about 5 times the first year and then they vanished (the double edged sword of instant media) . Like the D-610, with good glass in front of it it has amazing image quality. Its Achilles heal is it's low light focusing for events and weddings. If you need that the D-750 is great and a better choice. I own both. If I didn't need the low light focusing plus a back up body, I be totally happy with the D-600 / 610.

I have been looking seriously at the 610. I have also been looking seriously a used 800. Any thoughts on this?

it depends on what you want.
the both the D610 and D750 prices went down constantly on this year.

D610 and D750 have the same resolution and almost identical sensor.

The difference is the autofocus points (waymore on the D750)
The D750 is "narrower" in "fattyness" (which also means the top screen does not show as much as the D610).
The D750 as better video.

As I stated earlier, some of the D-800's had problems with the focus. Spending 3k on a new camera that could be a problem was not a good idea for me, so I opted for the newly repaired D600, now called the D610

You can Google the D800 and see what others have said. This is one of the sites I saw that addressed the problem

Old news. Can you update us what has happened since May 2012?

No, quit following the problem once I committed to the D610. I assume that Nikon fixed the problem like the did with the D600 by releasing a new model, the D810.

So if I were to buy a used D800, I would want to know what year it was made and I would buy from a reputable used dealer like B&H, just in case....

Totally love my 610. The more I use it the more I like it, and I've been using it a lot

Could be but the d7000 and d800 are up there also . It may also be because
Of the dust on the sensor which took them ages to ackknoeledg and come clean , I wouldn't touch myself after , I don't care if they fixed with 610 .I would sooner buy the d750 . But I hear things about that one also has some bugs , or something wasn't to serious but I'll wait for a year maybe get one , when they quit making that one , and continue with a 760 what ever then the
Price will be about half what it is now .for the 750

Well that is what it was the difference between the d600 and the 610 is not enough of a upgrade to even bother making it in the first place as a replacement for a otherwise good d600 . The dust smudge or oil splatter is what it was built for . No matter what they say .

Wow that is a good shot for 25 sec . But how much is that credited to the
$1600 to $1900 lens you used .

What does that entail . Is that so you have to buy more crap to process the raw out of a N610 and a N 750 from nikon?

It's definitely a combination of both. For many years I had the mid-grade lenses that Nikon made, couldn't see spending three times the money on a pro lens just to get a 2.8 aperature. But when I bought the D610, Nikon was offering a $200 rebate on the 24-70 2.8 lens, so i bought it. I was totally blown away on how sharp that lens was. This was the kind of sharpness I had been trying to get for years. So I had a serious GAS attack and bought the 14-24 and the 70-200. It was a lot of money, but I absolutely love the lenses. I bought the 14-24 specifically for star shots, have owned it for over a year, two weeks ago was when I finally got my shot. I will be in north east California next week, might try again if I can drag my butt out of bed at one in the morning!

id say both the D800 and D7000 are outdated already.
Why buy the D7000 if the D7100 is far superior and pretty cheap right now?
And then theres the D7200 as well.
