Cheers Guys
I have settled on the D700 as the camera. I keep thinking about leaving the purchase a bit longer incase they do bring out a new model - but considering the state of the workd at the moment, I dont think that they will.
As I am new to Nikon (all my travel cameras are either Fuji or bouncy Olympus) the sticking point at the moment is the choice of lens.
Tim - I am interested to know what lenses you bolted on the front when you tried it.
I am also trying to get some opinions on how well the D700 copes with DX format lenses. I know that there is a drop in pixels, although I know that some lenses will provide full coverage at some focal lengths.
Much appreciated
