[QUOTE="johncook, post: 59636, member: 9654"] i've had my D7000 for a year and love it, i've not had any problems with it so far. I've been tempted to see what the D700 is like in comparison. looking at on-line reviews it seems closer than you would think for FX vs DX. Users on here who own both say the images are better on the D700 but they find it hard to say by how much. I'll hire a D700 at some point just to carry out some back to back tests to decide for myself.I'm surprised you are happy with the camera if you've had to take it in twice for repairs, that sort of thing might put me off it.There is the price difference for a start, plus the lenses cost more for FX bodies. Good lenses cost money, and depending how good you are , you could get good results on the D7000 with an expensive quality lens that might look better than images from a D700 with a cheap lens. The D700 is rated to 150,000 shutter actuations. What is a good number? hard to say, lower would be better, but if its been looked after and its sub 50,000 actuations, depending on how many photos you take I wouldnt worry too much. will the shop give you any warranty on the used camera?? I'd say it boils down to how much you have to spend and what your experience level is. do you need the video features on the D7000? do you use the custom user settings on the command dial, the dual card slots etc... the D7000 has many plus points do you take low light shots because then the D700 would shine more and have better noise control. also the D700 is probably a bit bigger, and heavier with its sturdier body which is good for survival, less good for walking around with it. Its a very tempting idea, depends if you really want to move up to FX format, how much money you have to spend on lenses (because you will want more, I have four lenses and want another 2!) and how good you are. I'm gonna try and enjoy / learn with my D7000 for another 2 years, and then maybe if I feel I've improved enough I will treat myself to an FX camera. Then the dilema is D700 or D800!!:kiwi-fruit: [/QUOTE]
