Hello everyone,
Thanks for the opinions, I really needed someone elses point of view before I dive in. I have a full stable of Nikkor lenses including the 80-200 f2.8, 85 f1.4, 20 f2.8, 50 f1.4 and other slower zooms etc, and I am hunting down a 28-70 f2.8, so I really want to stick with Nikon for that reason. I have'nt been happy with the offerings from Nikon regarding digital SLR's till the D3 (but too pricey) now the D700 is in my range. I have been waiting for a reasonably priced full sized Nikon sensor for a while and it has finally arrived.
I reckon in that price range the 5D is the only competition for the D700, and even then, the D700 sounds better. I'm not a Nikon freak, I have owned Canon's before, I just like the Nikon operating system and lenses, plus I have had a couple of Canons fail on me in the past. I have heard Canon have new models on the way like a 3D and a 6D, I think they are both full size and maybe 18 to 20 mega pixels???, I guess we will see. I need a full sized Nikon now so I will go with that.
