          Nikon D600 vs Nikon D700 - User Opinions

          • doyle
            over 1 year ago
            The D700 is a larger, tougher semi-pro FX camera with a full complement of autofocus controls on the front and back of the camera, while the D600 is a newer, smaller, lighter camera that folds the AF controls into one button to hold while you spin dials to set it.
