Eric-

I really have never considered the 7000 or 7100 as I had the impression that the build was more like a D40 upgraded than a D300 substitute.

Am I wrong? If is can take the weather in your side of the world, I probably should consider it :-)


I agree D~~ and D~~~~ cameras were always specced below D~ and D~~~ in a few important areas

I'm not sure if this is still the case but compare

Body materials
Weatherproofing
Buffer
PC sync socket
10 pin remote socket
Style of strap lugs
Number of frames available in bracketing mode
Viewfinder brightness
Viewfinder percentage
Separate af-on/ae-l buttons
Number of customisable buttons
Top LCD
Style of viewfinder (circular on D~ models)
Shutter rating
Shutter release performance
Shutter materials?

That's just from memory so there might be a few more

I think D600 is a bit of an anomaly here with several serious limitations including limited bracketing
Definitely agree on the last comment else I would have bought one to replace the D3 or D700.
It has all the right items except it lacks the build of a pro body and the 10 pin socket. 
To me if feels like a FF equivalent of the D7100.
