Thanks. LAst night I read some online reviews on the 8600 and D600 The
only real drawback I can identify is weight for 8600.
A friend has a D600 and liked it; a woman I work with has a D800 and really
likes it for use at home, too heavy for her to lug around.
At this point, I'm leaning toward thr 8600, though the weight still bothers
me some.
Be intersted in negative attributes for thr 8600 and D600 - make it easier
for me to decide.
