Hi all!
I currently have a D60 with 18-55 kit lense and a 50mm 1.8G. I was about to buy the 35mm DX and 10-24mm DX for our next trip to USA and Italy, but after much thinking, I prefer to invest / spend on a FX camera body then put around 1300-1400$ on more DX lenses (CAD)
The D800 is a bit too expensive to my liking, when you factor the price of CF card, extra battery, grip, etc and other lenses that I will surely want to buy. That's where a used D700 comes to mind. I would certainly not be limited by the camera in either case...
For me, hd video is a no-factor since I already got a hd video camera with hard disk and everything and it's not getting used much.
I don't want to buy something and tell myself that for a bit more I could have had the next best thing. In that case, I would just buy the D800 and wait a little for lenses or accessories. If the D800 comes haunting me at night, I want to be able to tell myself that the D700 was a steal at that price!
What would be a fair price to pay for a D700 in good condition? How much would be ready to pay more if it came with used grips / batteries / etc ?
Thanks a lot!
Frank
