[QUOTE="hark, post: 509924, member: 13196"] Wait....[B][I]WHAT?!![/I][/B] I just read this thread for the first time (as well as a second time to let it all sink in :rolleyes:). If you are going to get another 8xx body, then sell your D700 and put the money towards a D8xx. That said...I agree with Don in that you should put the money into glass. Bodies will come and go, but IMHO investing in glass is a much more worthwhile choice than continuously buying different camera bodies. Camera manufacturers release new bodies on a regular basis hoping that customers will choose to upgrade. And when the D820 comes out (or whatever the next D8xx body will be called), I'm afraid you will want to jump ship to get one. And in the long run, it costs a lot more to do so...unless the person makes a living with photography and uses a camera body til it's pretty much shot (excuse the pun ;)). My 3 main bodies are the D750, D610, and D7100. While I'm not a fan of the DX body, I bought the D7100 for shooting the drama students' productions. And it works well coupled with a telephoto and/or macro lens. That way I have no desire to buy a tele-converter--I'm not into birding or anything that would require a lengthy telephoto lens either so my tele mounted on the D7100 takes care of my needs. The D610 is no slouch either so I have no qualms choosing to use it. I have 2 FX bodies because I prefer having one as a back-up should I ever need it. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you will buy something that will satisfy your hunger and last you for the next several years. :) [/QUOTE]
