I know you're into full frame pretty heavily, but if you shoot sports, have you considered a D500? You'd use the same lenses.

Because the D500 is Nikon’s pro-level APS-C body and the D-610 is the entry-level full frame body.
Apples and oranges.

I need a second camera body and my decision is around Nikon D610 , big screen , light weight , I read very few comments on this camera that supersedees D600 .
I like to have some comments on it and I can choose an alternative too , used of course .
Your comments are welcome

I have a D610. Overall it's been good. But one area that is not good is the lack of a true exposure simulation in live view.

"...Gianfranco, my recommendation is another D4S..." like Bob said... This is SOP for commercial shooters I assist and I've followed their wisdom... I have two D3x's for studio work and two D3's for shooting sports.

This has proven invaluable when I have an issue... I simply attempt to duplicate the issue on the other body.

The second most compelling concern is "Muscle Memory" which for shooting commercially is paramount!
The camera then become a viable "Tool" not a new toy...

btw, I tried a D610 for a year, then sold it back to B&H. While it has superb IQ for static subjects it is decidedly not an effective tool for sports/action. It has the old D7000 39 focus points with only 9 being cross-type... These reduced number of focus sensors only cover the center of the screen. a.k.a. it's not effective for tracking sports/action/wildlife... and is very slow to "Lock" focus compared to my D3 and D3x.

So yes the D610 is a wonderful "Landscape" and possibly "Architectural Photography" tool... just rethink using it for action photography.

Hope this helps Gianfranco...

I tried to buy one used D3S but his price is not cheap they want at least 800$ for one in good condition

My guess is that it has the same focus system as the D5 as well as the same processor. This is why I suggested it if you shoot sports. What does it go for used?

ideal price according my budget for a D3S is 600$, of course with less than 200.000 counts

Thank you , I’m following your masterpieces micro photos and I’ m trying to initiate also into that world

If you are still looking for a good Camera and if you are serious, then PM me and I could sell a D750 for $1400. It has a very low shutter count. I still have the Original Box and Booklet to go with it, plus I have a $40 book from David Busch that I could sell you also. Just let me know. My Name is Nicholas Zografos.
