[QUOTE="ideacipher, post: 423796, member: 11382"] I'm wanting to add a body to my my 7000 and I'm looking at a used 700 or 800. I hear the 700 nails focus pretty much all the time and that is a big plus for me. The 95%ish viewfinder will take some getting used to I'm spoiled with 100% and frame every shot as tight as I can. I'm not in the market for a d3/x/4 so if you wanted a Nikon body that has very fast and accurate focus would the d700 be your choice? I'm not a cropping machine and not into landscapes, advertising or any other field that needs the 800's MP.
