The D7000 was my first dSLR and I used it very lightly for three years and definitely did not utilize the camera to its maximum capability. I did however jump from a D700 just recently and can say that from my novice point of view the pictures are a lot more sharp and the clarity is great! As I prefer loads of details myself, I'll give you my point of view on certain things I noticed when I transitioned from the D7000 to the D700-D700 body is much heavier than D7000; the weight is noticeably different(this is to be expected for a FX body).-D700 body doesn't have certain functions that are great on the D7000; such as U1 and U2 modes.-D700 D-Pad and other buttons are a little "loose" (in a tactile sense) when compared to the responsiveness of the D7000.-D700 rubber cover that protects the HDMI/Video Out/USB/DC ports is also a little flimsy and does not have a secure "snap feeling" like the D7000 has.These are my major gripes with the D700 but they are very modest issues when looking at the D700 as a FX body camera. Auto Focus, Low Light Capability and many other things are the great qualities of the camera. Again these are just my experiences from transitioning from the D7000 to D7000. The issues I've stated above may not pertain to other D700s or any one else. With that being said...eBay seems to have some good D700s for sale with low shutter actuations. I say if you find a one in good shape take the plunge! You could probably sell your D7000 and cover half the costs for a "new" used D700.Well that's just my two cents. Good Luck!</blockquote>
