Well I wanted to see the comparison myself thus the D700 will be here late this week or early next week.Interesting read - thanks for posting the link - I own a D3 if the D700 came out at the same time - I would have chosen the D700. I would prefer a smaller body and dust shake over the D3 advantages.
Well, I have no lenses to replace (except for selling 2 DX lenses) so this was really easy for me. I moved from the D300 and hopefully my D700 will be shipping at the end of the week. I think for me this is a long term purchase. I don't print massively large posters which to me is the only limitation of the cameras 12mp. What could I want ISO 64,000?Finally a camera that you can truly say is the last camera you will ever need in a DSLR. If 12 megapixels is enough for you, and it truly is the sweet point for a FF sensor then what else could you ever need. It can be the D3 with the grip (including almost the same fps!) or a smaller camera for travel, a landscape, studio, fashion, etc.
If Nikon could replace the canon lenses I have in my bag, and the only one it has an equivelent of is the 24-70, then I might really think about it. As usual the lenses dictate, just as it used to be in the olden days.
HI BenHa, a six frame stitch from my 5D makes 39 megapixels! What Fun! Robmac, is the QC and focus accuracy really better with Nikon or do you just not hear about it? I've had more than my fair share of these issues and really couldn't be bothered going through it all again with the whole 'grass is greener on the other side' nonsense.
So Guy - have you bought one?B&H shows the kit in stock....
