If the new camera is $3299 as KR predicts, I think I will get one and stop looking at the Sony stuff.

Anyone else starting to get a big case of NAS?

It is justified in this case.....

Nikon Rumors states that there is most likely not going to be an updated D700 any time soon... so, don't hold your breath. There aren't any real strong legitimate sources stating that there might be a release.

Right now, I'd be happy with a D700. If a D700s or D800 came out... cool. It makes the D700 drop in price

Personally, I think what's going to happen is sometime next year you'll see a D700s with the D3s sensor. Once the D4 comes out, the D800 will follow with the D4 sensor.

Everyone assumes that they are going to slap the D3x sensor into a D700 type body, but I don't know if that's going to happen any time soon - or at all. I just don't see how they can price it in a way that it would work. Too high, no one buys it and it can't compete at all with the 5dII, too low, you kill off your D3x sales.

Having a D3x now, I'd love a smaller camera with the same sensor - that'd be fantastic, but I just don't see it happening.

I would like to see D700x with D3X sensor....But I am sure Nikon won't do that which may dent D3 series sales......So I will wait for an year to see next FF camera on D700 body...

Even if they come out with a D700x with a D3x sensor, it will just have far more noise and cost $5000 instead of $8000.

I'd be sad if they D700 didn't get the D3s treatment with video and better high ISO without upping the megapixels. That'd be the ideal wedding body for me.

All I want, need and look forward to is an upgrade to my brain.
Sadly, I think it may not be coming.

Pavel, if that's your picture you're a young man but I'm not. You see the way this "Life Thing" works is, as your body/brain ages, you compensate with smarter/newer/better equipment.

i think the bigger impact would be a d700s over a d700x, but thats just me.

I'd love a D700s with what I've seen from the earlier D3s images.

+1

I'm very content with my current bodies, more so than at any point in the 30+ years I've been using these things. I wish they'd quit screwing around with the BS consumer gimmicks and/or hire some more freaking lens engineers and put out some more good lens updates that will work well on the antiquated bodies that I have, let alone the fancy and more demanding bodies that will be out when I'm ready for a new camera.......

My disappointment is that at the moment I would need two bodies: 1 DX and 1 FX. If they bought out a D3x sensor in a D700 body, then I could make do with 1 body, and use the DX crop mode when needed.

I've really avoided the buy new camera every time they come out merry go round. Problem is a lot of money gets blown on something so relatively unimportant. I've been putting my money into first class lenses and updating my computer & software. Heck, I've spent more on my lighting system this year than what a new D700 would cost. LIghts, lenses, tripods are critical and seem to hold their value much better. I predict the D700 will drop to about $1,500 later this winter (it's hitting below $2,000 now on eBay.) When that happens, I'll look at one again. And 14-24mm f2.8 & 24-70mm f2.8. Makes no sense to me at all to buy a camera and not have the lenses to support it. The D300 is doing all I ask at the moment.

Super true! Changing to an FX system from DX can represent a substantial amount of $.

A used D700 is super tempting, but for my purposes the dual card slots of the D300s seems really smart and makes me hesitate on the D700. Meh
