[...] * Note that I have omitted many of the general specifications, because they are the usual slight improvements over previous generations. The best impression of the 6D would be, a cross between the Canon 60D, 7D, and 5D mk3. Next, you can read about the D600 specs and a few of my thoughts HERE. [...]

I think the D600 is a good camera, but i will buy the A99. To
Matthew Saville, its true that the Nikon postprocessing ist mostly the better one. And the A99 have the SLT technology and because of that the HighIso performance is a little bit lower but overall the A99 is the better camera because the features are much greater. These cameras are not comparable because the A99 is on the D800 or 5D Mark III level and not an entry level full frame.

Love my D700, BUT why cannot I have delayed action with live view, this would be great with a telescope. ALSO the bundled lense, a AF-S 24-120 G lense is crap. It has bad barrel distortion, greatly changes focus point when zooming, so you cannot zoom in, focus then zoom out again, AND just a little dust has knackered the autofocus so I use it in manual, and this only just works. I would really like a digital back for an F2AS! Come on Nikon.

I am also still considering the A99 as my entry into the full-frame arena. If the IQ holds up to the Nikons, then I’ll be a happy camper. Yes, 36MP on the D800 would be great, but I think 24MP is workable, too, considering the features I really love on the A99, like in-body stabilization, focus-peaking, EVF, articulating LCD, and that dual-phase-detect AF.

And Zeiss lenses. More expensive, but oh, what glass!

Yes, Serge, I think both Nikon and Canon are a little bit “stuck in their ways” compared to Sony. And Sony knows that, as the newcomer, their only hope is to innovate like crazy.

There are many reasons to consider Sony as a long-term solution and I hope they do well. I don’t think I’ll ever give up my Nikon control buttons and functionality, but maybe some day I’ll add a Sony to my bag. I’m liking their mirrorless solutions quite a bit.
