There is no way that I'd upgrade from a D700 to a D700s for a slightly tweaked sensor and a movie mode. The D3 and D3s share the same sensor except for a slightly tweaked microlens structure, from what I understand. It certainly isn't a reengineered chunk of silicone. As for movie mode, it might be fun but is not the reason I purchased a D700.
If they release a D700 with a 25 mp sensor at a price under $4000 or so, I'll buy it, dumping my backup D300. The thing is, if Nikon adds $3000 to the price of a D700 like they did to the D3 to get the D3x, I won't be able to afford it. On the other hand, if they make it more reasonable, how do they justify the $3000 for the D3x over a D3. I love Nikons but their marketing stinks sometimes.
As for dual cards, really now, who cares? As for the ISO of the D3s, again, who'd use it? I know with my D700, I don't stop up past 6400 and rarely go even there. I want to take nice photos. I don't care to take noisy messes just to say I did it at some crazy ISO. I mean, isn't that why we love photography? We want to take the best photographs that our skill allows. These tools we use are supposed to make it easier. Sticking a couple of silly extra features and putting an "S" by the name certainly does not compel me to think they will contribute to me taking better images.
