[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 61499, member: 6351"] [b]Update[/b] Thanks very much everyone for taking the time to respond! I just wanted to let you know that I ended up going with the D700 along with my 70-200, 2x TC-20E III and occasionally some DX mode! :) Rick, given the great light I had most of the day, it would have been interesting to try out what you essentially suggested, my DX D7000 and the 70-300VR. Would have been fairly good I would think. The sun was savagely bright, which washed out some shots and cast difficult shadows in others. However the main thing was my son and I had a great day at the ballpark (even though the Jays lost the game :() It was a day I'll always remember. Anyway, here are some shots taken with the D700 + 70-200 with the TC and/or shot in DX mode.
