D600 a pretty good camera for Fullframe entry but I would highly recommend a used d700 with a low shutter count if your only taking fish tank photos for half the price maybe 1000 bucks. I would even consider the nikon d5200 at 24mp. I would only go to fullframe if you have the glass or planning to have the glass in the future, the price your looking at a new Full frame lens is about 1000+ at 2.8f and less. You can get some cheap full frame primes under 600 bucks the 50mm 1.4f and 28 1.8f. I shoot with a Nikon D4, D800 and I sold the d600 because it was a pain to ttl everything for studio work.
Sample images from d5200 at 1600iso and up... remember the picture is cropped http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Ni...00/noise.shtml

To make full use of a fullframe sensor, your must have full frame glass or you will get lots of vignetting around the corners of the photo if you use dx glass.

Cool, thanks. Most if not all of my lenses are in fact FX because I've had them longer than the camera body (coming off 35mm *film* .. yeah, I guess I'm dating myself with that statement. Of course, I only date myself because nobody else will. Ba da bing! Thank you thank you I'm here all week.). I think I have 1 lens that is meant for DX, I have to take a closer look at it as I haven't used it in a while.
Maybe the thing to do would be to sell off the lot and start over with newer equipment... so that the whole gamet is of similar vintage since what I have right now is a fair range of ages spanning quite a few years. I dunno. The D700 was another camera I had been flirting with the idea of the last couple years. For its age I hear it's still a very good option. This was one of the reasons I had started considering the D600 though. New has a nice sounding flair to it and all.

Personally IMHO, just go for it and get D800, it's 36 meg, so you will not be upgrading for a very long time.
I'm getting a new underwater housing for my d800 since they now have strobes that are fully automatic now with the d800, finally replacing my d200 and nikonos strobes underwater. This will be my last upgrade for a very long time. How much more do you need? I use my D800 as primary camera and D700 as backup.

Kind of off topic but curious if you have ever looked into the Nikon-1 line at all? I sort of wonder if at some point the mirrorless cameras are going to overtake the DSLRs.

Nikon d700 don't go for 2000 anymore and plus it's really hard to find a brand new one these days. On the used market you can easily score one for 1000 - 1300 bucks with a low shutter count under 10k and you could put that extra 1000 bucks on a nice price of glass. Bodies go down in price but glass usually maintains it value, you only take about 10% hit when selling the glass while the bodies you just lost your investment when they release a new bodies

If you decide to buy extra lenses in the future, go with full frame lenses. To keep cost down, you can always get a D7100, but it's DX
