Portrait mode: single servo auto focus, changeable focus sensors, no "motor drive". Main difference lies in auto focus setting and shutter speed. One is for portraits and still scenes and the other for street photography (fast moving objects). Basically I have got two custom menu settings on my D600. Before I started using it I set it up the way I like it. Well, Since I got it I spent around 5 hours on street photography in Fremantle. I wanted to shoot more and see my photos quicker, I wanted more freedom and flexibility. As much as I love the film it was time to change. So after a year with Nikon F100 I started to feel that it's time for a better tool and I got a Nikon D600 a week ago. I've got gear that delivers more and faster. I love my Nikon FE: it's solid, heavy, beautifully designed, black and takes awesome pictures but I don't use it anymore. It also taught my one thing - camera is just a tool. I am lucky I learned photography this way - it made me think. Metering, view finder, shutter speed, auto focus to name a few. Every time I got a new body (I still have all my full frame lenses) it was because I felt the camera was starting to "weigh me down". After a while my rangefinder wasn't enough and I got a Nikon FE (thanks to Ken Rockwell) than a second hand Nikon F90x and finally my personal film apex a Nikon F100 (new!).

When I wanted more control over my pictures I got a canon rangefinder from e bay. My first proper camera was handmade matchbox pinhole camera. Since I've started my love affair with photography I purchased a lot of cameras yet I am not a gear geek.
