I wonder when the D800 will be released? I think I might just skip the D700 and just get whatever the real successor of D700 is (not D700x).
D700 has been out for a year, I don't want to kick myself for buying a D700 now and find out in 8 months time that a D800 is out.

I think at the soonest it would be 12 months and not 8 months. But the way the world economy is right now can change all that- slower sales.

What if they just add video to the D700?

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.

I want a D800 with a viewfinder as big as D3 (and D4 will have even bigger viewfinder).
Apart from that maybe one more stop of usable ISO, and maybe 3.5" LCD.

Is it sheer size, or 100% you're after? The latter would be the most sought-after for me.
I'm not sure if ISO performance will really improve that much over the D3/D700. MAYBE, but it would likely be in the increased-NR way the D300 improved over the D200. I'm not a fan of NR in general, and to me increased NR does not constitute better ISO performance. Lower A/D or amp noise are more what I'd be looking for. Will it happen, who knows?

I'm headed the other direction. My D200 is great, but it is too klunky to carry around everywhere with me. I'm thinking about a D50 or D80 that I can use all my DX lenses on that won't be as heavy and big.

Any reason you're not interested in the D90, Bigshot? 3rd generation sensor is a nice piece of kit, even if no one will ever use the video feature.

I'm looking for a body I can find used for $200 or less. It's going to be a second camera. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I dug this up and I'm getting ready to put it into action...

Fair enough. My D90 was $50, but I don't expect anyone else to stumble upon that deal any time soon.

That's a sunk cost.
Actually, the dude dropped it in a pool and sold it to me as a movie prop. A little DI water (and a fresh lens) and it works beautifully.

Eh...I went ahead and did it. D700 incoming Monday. $2325 shipped after eBay coupon, Bing Cashback, and Chase Rewards; from Cameta with the MB-D10 and extra battery.
DX gear will be going bye-bye. Not that it is exactly gaining in value anyway. After re-reading Thom Hogan's D3x review, I became pretty convinced that the D700x (or whatever it will be) would end up needing a level of lens quality I won't soon be able to afford.

This hobby is pretty strange. I just picked up this lens for under $100...
It's the equivalent of an 85mm portrait lens. It goes with the Mamiya RB67 above which sells for around $400 with a normal lens... except instead of 12 megapixels with a DSLR, it's the equivalent of 120 megapixels. Absolutely no distortion, beautiful bokeh, built to last for a hundred years and sharp as a tack.

Congrats. What was the deciding factors of a new body instead of lenses with that $?
