ok guys and gals am looking for advice on a new camera, as i only have a sony nex5 i dont have any lens set to any brands for the DSLR i have a few cameras am looking at with one of them maxing out my budget, i would love to go full frame but the extra cost would send me over the limit with money and the misses.

ok i have been looking at the Canon 7D+15-85mm Kit the Canon 60D 17-85mm or the Sony A77 16-50mm

i dont no why but the idea of buying the either of the Canons seems like buying old tech as they have been out for awhile now compared to the Sony. The 7d with the lens is about £1500 which is my limit. I have handled the 60D and A77 in the shops and get on with the EVF but i am concerned with the Noise at high iso (not sure if this is fixed with the firmware updates) the 7D wasnt in the shop to try

aaaghhhh camera overload :( i dont have a set subject that i do its i mixed bag or street,landscape and astronomy amongst other things

Hellpppp
 
Can't quite remember the warranty situation with DR, but I'm sure someone who buys from them frequently will clarify. That is, I believe the only issue with UK purchases.

The D600 is absolutely cracking going by reviews :p

:( dam you if i end up getting one of those and my misses kills me am haunting you, but that is soooo tempting is the D600/lens any good, are there any problems with noise/iso. am asking as i haven't really looked in to it tbh. is digitalrev.com any good for uk purchases ??

It's about a country mile (and then some) better than the 7d you were looking at which isn't exactly known for it's stellar IQ.

In terms of file quality comparisons, the below site is the standard reference point.
