Image quality is excellent as you may expect from its spec. In fact, the resolution is so high that it out-resolves the kit lens, 24-85 VR, from time to time. Color is on par with D3x, if not better.
But ease of operation is another story, and I'd advise potential D600 buyers to have a hands-on before buying it.
I don't mind the changes in button/dial position, but the mode dial highly praised by KR is difficult to use in the dark. I know I can get used to it so it doesn't matter. What annoys me is how the camera handles brightness of scenes darker than the metering range. For other cameras I have, the meter still works reliably even if "LO" is displayed until the exposure time hits 30". And what I need to do then is to choose a higher ISO to shorten the exposure time. D600's meter, however, gives up and sets its value at 0EV, no matter how much darker the scene or how high the iso may be.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or just a "feature" that is used to distinguish D600 from higher models. But it's annoying.
