[QUOTE="BooBoos, post: 46179, member: 7752"] I do my zoo photos with the D-300 and my thought I would be to use the D700 for my landscapes. I do a lot of trips to vermont and newport RI in the warm temps. I will certainly use the D-700 this season I also purchased the battery pack at the same time. I know what your thinking the d-300 uses the same pack and that is correct. I was experiencing a electricail issue last year and I did not want to use the d-300 pack on the D-700 because I did not know where the problem was. I with fully charged batteries in camera and pack would get a battery incicator light that said empty. I know the batteries are full so I turn the camera off and on again and it would clear. I am not sure if its the pack or the contacts where the lens meets the camera body loosened up or another issue. It does not happen all the time but on occassion so I thought better to keep the packs seperate.I diod have a focus issue with the 80-400 and have not been out to test if nikon fixed it or not.
