What are Nikon D600's competitors?

I am about to finalize my decision on buying a D600 but I would like to know if I'm overlooking maybe a better competitor with a cheaper price range.Is the D800 worth the extra money if compared to the D600?

I'm looking into a Pro-DSLR but am not wanting to spend a whole lot of money. I know it's being overly optimistic but is there a camera out there which is around a $1800 price range, includes at least 2 lenses, has great mega pixels, is a professional DSLR and includes video recording?

Disable the autofocus beam when using a speedlight (Nikon d90)?

Just got my first dslr about 2 weeks ago and just got me a sb-28 from a friend. Basically this is what's bothering me… I focus the shot, camera beeps letting me know its in focus, than I hit the shutter release and the autofocus light beam TURNS BACK ON before the speedlight flash goes off creating about a 1 second delay… can anyone tell me how to disable it to where soon as I get in focus and hit the shutter release the speedlight flashes and the camera takes the shot … 5STARS TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO FIXES THIS ANNOYING LITTLE BEAM OF LIGHT ON THE FRONT OF MY CAMERA… I have the nikon d90 with the sb-28 speedlight … BTW I already tried disabling the AF assist illuminator in the menu it only disable the beam while I'm trying to focus but dosnt get rid of it between me hitting the shutter release button and the camera taking the shot

How do I know how fast this lenses is?

I'm a complete newbie and want to start taking some pictures of landscapes and skies at dusk and at night time. I was told I need a lens that's f/2.8 or faster to do this.
Added (1). I'm going to buy the Nikon d3200 body so if anyone could suggest a decent lens for night time photos it would be great… haven't got bags of money just something to begin with that doesn't get boring to quickly ..don't want to be wanting a different lens after a week!!!

Nikkor VR 18-105mm or Nikkor VR 24-120mm?

I cannot decide which one of these two lenses to get. I'm going to be doing the photography for a evening cruise around the harbor for a late Valentine's day event this week and i was planning on upgrading my lenses.My current camera right now since i'm kinda tight on money is the Nikon D3200. I use the kit lense 18-55 plus the nikkor vr 55-200mm combo. I know for a fact that i'm gonna be switching lenses a lot during the evening so i decided i might as well bring one lens that can do the job of these two. The 18-105 and 24-120 are the only ones that pretty much fit my budget right now. I believe these two are the perfect ratio for distance. For the evening, i'm most doing portrait shots but i will be going out on the deck to take some scenery/night shots which is why the 108 and the 120 distance helps.which one do you guys think would be a better choice because both lenses seem superb. Also, i'm not looking for a wide angle lense because it'll just make the portrait shots look terrible so which one would be the better choice: Nikkor Vr 18-105mm or the Nikkor VR 24-120mm?
Added (1). Also, i looked on the nikon website itself, and the 24-120 lens is mainly compatible with FX cameras but can work on on a DX camera like the d3200.lemme know if i'm wrong on this cuz if so, then i'll just end up getting the 18-105mm lens since its the only one compatible.

Camera Advice- looking for small cheap yet good quality camera?

I'm interested in buying a small sleek camera $100-200 that still takes good pictures. I have a nice (but big and heavy) Nikon that takes awesome pictures.So I'm just looking for a more convenient throw in your bag type camera. Any suggestions!
Added (1). I guess phrased the question wrong. Within that budget, what is the best camera to get? I understand the quality wont match that of a 2grand camera but within the lower end cameras, which one would camera experts recommend?

Canon d60 problems and what else is better?

Been trying to decide what mid range DSLR I could get at my budget under £650, was about to order the canon 60d and have come across a lot of completaints about the cameras grip peeling off!

Now I am stuck and don't know what to buy again :( I want it to shoot concerts and portraits at a pro level but can not I CAN NOT afford at the moment mark 5i ii iii nor Nikon 7d. What else could I consider, this is such a headache

thank you for the help
Added (1). Hi thanks so far, I meant Nikon 7000. The canon d60 has had complaints where the grip handle has come off, badly glued !:?! it has a lack of micro-adjust, those that mean that all my new lens will have to be sent off to be calibrated? extra cost and if I don't does that mean the the bloody lens will be difficult to focus with this camera?

Is the Nikon D3100 worth buying? - 1

I was looking for an upgrade from my old point-and-shoot Canon Powershot ELPH 300 HS, and stumbled upon the Nikon D3100 which looks fantastic for its value. I found it for only $379, although it is about two years old, which is a bit dated. Should I wait for newer, higher quality cameras or buy the D3100?

Best target scope for under $300?

I am looking for a scope to put on my 22-250 and my 30-06 (250 is a savage axis, 06 is a savage 111). I want a scope that i can use for shooting up to 1000 yards. Right now i have the cheap bushnell 3-9x40 scope the guns came with on them and even with those scopes i am making proper adjustments and hitting things up to 700 yards with both guns (mainly 2 liters). Both guns will be strictly target shooting guns, the only hunting will be maybe some varmint hunting with the 22-250 but my main interest is putting bullets on steel at long ranges. I am looking for a scope that has more magnification than my 3-9 bushnells but i don't want anything that is more than 18x magnification cause i don't feel that i will need any more than that. 3 scopes i was looking at were a nikon prostaff 4-12x40 mil dot, a vortex diamondback 4-12x40 bdc, and a nikon buckmasters 6-18x40 mil dot. What scopes including those 3 and any others would suit my needs the best for under $300-$350? Also if buying a new scope wouldn't really be much of an improvement from what i have now let me know that too so i don't waist money on buying something that doesn't make that big of a difference. Thanks for any answers and or suggestions.

I am hearing of spotting problems with Nikon D600. Does this problem exist on the D800?

I am asking on behalf of someone I know that is looking for these products.
Added (1). From what I understand, Nikon has not specifically commented on this problem, but many users are reporting oil splatter on the sensor and excessive dust.
Here are some web reports:
