[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 50667, member: 6351"] Hello Pam and welcome to the forum. Well the official retail price for new D700s has just been dropped so I don't see any further across the board price drops coming any time soon for new D700s. The impact on the used market is still unfolding but no doubt there is a downward pressure on used D700 prices. Again, the prices in the used market aren't going to go into a free fall as the D700 is still a fabulous, high quality camera body. Based on my review of the used market on Fred Miranda - D700 bodies only are usually going for between $1,750 and $1,900 and with the grip included up to $2,000. I'm not sure which area you live in (Canada, US or other) but local market conditions will vary of course. I really don't think things will soften up substantially in the near term but it's all supply and demand and the demand for D700s appears to remain very strong. Don't forget that when any new product is released, just as there are the people who pounce on the newest offering there is another large group who are standing on the sidelines waiting to snap up the "old" product. In this case another dynamic is at work - those who never thought FX would come down to the sub-$2,000 level making FX very attainable. So along with the usual deal seekers, you have those in the DX world having a real opportunity to get into the FX domain with one of Nikon's best cameras. So yes, you can get a pretty decent deal now on D700s but with such strong fundamentals behind the demand for a D700, I just don't see the used market giving up much more than you're getting today.
