I would love a D700 but feel i need to wait a bit until the price comes down. mY d80 is great and i love using it in all situations.If the D700 comes down to around 2200 ill buy one in a flash.

Whatever you do, DO NOT get a DX lens for a D700. In DX mode, the D700 is effectively a 5MP camera because it only uses the middle of the image sensor, which means that it will perform worse than the bargain D40, which can do 6MP with a DX lens, and which you can get for about $500 with a decent lens. DX lenses are designed for the non-full-frame cameras that have smaller sensors. The D700 can use almost ANY non-DX Nikon lens for full frame shooting, including any of your favorite old manual or autofocus lenses. If you have an investment in decent non-DX camera lenses, you should definitely consider the D700 or the D3. KenRockwell.com suggests that you are better off spending the extra buck and going for the D3, but I’ve waited a VERY long time for an affordable full frame Nikon that can use my old lenses. The things that make the D3 superior to the D700 really aren’t that important to me to justify spending even more. I’ve just been waiting for full frame affordability, and so I’ll probably opt for the D700 with no lenses and just use my old lenses for a while and see how that goes.
