I can tell you that you will never deal with more honesty. These guys just do it and they really do help people.

Gianfranco, my recommendation is another D4S. The reasoning is simple. You don't have to pay attention to which camera you are using. The menus are the same. It can be a nightmare when quickly changing from camera to camera where are the different menu items. Keep things as simple as possible.

My main body is D4S and I’m extremely satisfied with it , my decision comes out since I do not want change always the lens on only one body , street photos , landscapes and some of sport shooting are my preferites D750 used is more expensive my dream is a D3S but it is very far from my allowance , so D620 perhaps it is the better choice

I don't understand D610 pricing. B&H currently has two prices for the same body. $1596 and $999. I got one last year new from B&H with the 50 mm f/1.8 lens and battery grip for something like $850 as opposed to the (now) new price of ~2K. I actually bought it on behalf of a friend who then decided to get the D750 from e-infinity in Hong Kong. I was going to send it back but made the mistake of opening the box and loved it, and, given the price kept it. I am a Canon user otherwise (5D iv) but love the small size and the performance of the D610 with the 20mm f/1.8G which I bought separately.

The purchase of an other D4S has more advantaged The only negative point is the price from Japan a good body costs about 1700 $ same price that i paid for mine 4 months ago , I wish a body more lighter and with screen 3.2 , D610 is perfect also price wise , in eBay from Japan from 450 to 550 $ got a body in very good condition

These seem to be replays of some well-known scams that were very prevalent on other sites in the past. There was a discussion here just a couple of days ago.

I echo CO comments, I have a 600 and 750 both great image quality good low light image quality. But if you are looking for a backup for indoor events with poor lighting the 750 will serve you better, it practically focuses in the dark. Not so the 600 or 610, I've shot inside events with it and a high percentage of the shots missed subject focus. It's great for everything else though.

Over a year ago, I bought a D610 used with low shutter count for under $1K. Bought it for my wife. She loves it and keeps getting better with it.

What you shoot with now should be the controlling factor in a backup camera. Like a wedding photographer, the backup camera must be transparently interchangeable with the main camera = handling the same, the controls in the same positions, etc. If you want to get the picture, with a different FL lens or because your main camera died/isn't working correctly, both cameras should work nearly identically.

I shoot with a D850 and have a D800E as my carry along backup. They are nearly identical in shape/size and position on the bodies. It is easy for me to go transparently between cameras and not have to "rethink" controls and their positions before shooting.

That’s why initially I was oriented to Nikon D3S , main camera now is D4S but prices for used camera in good condition with less than 160k counts are around 850/900 $ too much for me now

I've always gravitated to the Dx line, but also always had a backup that had some beef pixel-wise. Until I got my Z7 it was a D800...and that camera is/was a stud. You won't go wrong with the 810...

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.
