The D700 has the first generation Expeed sensor whereas the D600 and 800 (both c.2012) have the 3rd generation. All are an upgrade from the CMOS sensor in the D90. I dont put a whole lot into the megapixel battle. I do like having the larger pixel count for things like cropping, but I also understand if photographers were able to take outstanding pictures before a gazillion pixels, they should still be able to today but what they didnt have yesteryear were options. If you choose to use any of your dx lenses on your full frame, your cropping out pixels. I can still get about 15ish megapixels using a dx lens in dx crop mode on my D800. Try doing that on a D700, your working with about 6 megapixels. Hope this helps!</p></blockquote><p></p>
