[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 707018, member: 46724"] Hi Dave. I dont have a D700, but I was searching for one when I found my used D800. I will point out the obvious first, and that is if you dont have FX glass, the body is the least expensive part of the full frame upgrade. If you have glass that works for your D90 and are happy with that, great! It will cost hundreds more in lenses than just the body to match what you can get with the D90 and your DX lenses with an exception; low light. I was torn between the D600(10) 24mp, D700 12mp and D800(e) 36mp. I went with the D800 because it was within a couple hundred bucks of all of them, it had a much larger pixel count allowing me to future proof better and though I rarely shoot video, I wanted the capability to do so. I got most of my FX lenses used and in many cases went with old glass which kept the cost down. I have lucked out so far and have received good copies of the lenses I have bought used, but its a crap shoot and at any time, I know I can end up with someones dropped lens that wont focus right.
