Well then, let's just resuscitate the forum. What are the plans of the list
members vis-a-vis the D700? I don't see one in my future for quite sometime since the D200 is doing an excellent job. I sometimes wonder how much Nikon is able to turn normally astute and intelligent photographers into slobbering me-toos with advertising that sells the sizzle instead of the meat. I can see having to upgrade every time something better comes out if one makes their living off of the camera but I wonder about those who never utilize top quality labs to do monster enlargements and keep all their shots on a hard disk. Why do they need a D3 or D700?

At the same time though, the D700 would just be the right camera for me if I wanted to go digital and the one I "was waiting" for: a semi-pro full frame !!! I think both cameras are necessary in Nikon's range, because they are full frame, a lot of people want full-frame digital cameras and therefore Nikon had to fill the gap with the competition. At the same time, the cameras are aimed to two different types of photographers (D3 = pro and D700 = semi-pro or backup for pro). Of course, people like yourself, who have invested a lot of money in a digital camera not a long time ago, do not see the necessity to change their camera now, like someone who had a Nikon F801 did not see the need to move to a Nikon F90x in the past. Moreover, I know quite a few people who were just waiting for something like the D700 to switch to digital, only because, like myself, would like to keep all their lenses, full-frame, without having to make strange calculations to verify what focal lens they are really using, but did not want to "mortgage" their houses to buy a D3, that is also "too much" for their needs.

I agree that for film users, the D700 would be the logical step. Most of my
shooting is wildlife and the DX series is a godsend for me. My 300mm 2.8 suddenly has a coverage of a 450 2.8 and with converters, it gets me where I want to be. I found that my recent trips to Prague did indeed cause me some stress with the DX format and I had to use a 12-24 for some shots which would have been just great with the old 24mm on my F5.
