Hey Guys,

I'm currently looking into getting a newer camera to improve on my current Nikon D80 (CCD, 2007) and that works with APT and my scopes.

So far I have narrowed it down to a 2012 (onwards) Nikon D600. I have pick this model as
1) Its a newer camera to what I have
2) Its within my budget ($500-$700)
3) Its weather proof
4) Has live view
5) its a full frame sensor (requirement was to be the same size or bigger then what is in the D80)

So far I can see D600's in my budget with around 20k shutter count which is low considering they have a life of 150k

So the question is;
Do I continue down the path of getting a D600 to use for the next few years or can I get an astro camera that can give me the same result as the D600 (sensor size) within my budget?

Thanks in advance for you help
Cheers
Wayne
