[QUOTE="simonhodge, post: 125464, member: 8134"] Thanks so much guys for all your input. I have been reading up on this and along with your comments its pretty much 50/50 between getting a D700 and D800 which has left me in the same position. I managed to get along to my local Calumet store and have a wee try with a D800E (as thats all they had available) and a Nikkor 105mm F2.8. I even remembered my own CF card so have been looking at the photos on LR4 and am well impressed. I loved the camera, the focus was so quick and looking at the shots the colours are much better than my D300 (I always shoot raw). As I type this I am pretty sure I will go with a D800 as I can't see me being in the position to change again for a good few years and by that time the D700 will be well old. The big problem is that this will mean me having to wait on getting the 24-70 which i really didnt want to do but I guess I can hire one if i need it in the mean time. I'll keep you all informed.
