It'll be an alternative to digital medium format cameras as well. I hope nikon it will come with an solution probably this year.

D700 is for low light/action. 5D MarkII is for nature and landscapes. Guys, why are you comparing D700 to 5D MarkII too much? D700 is for low light/action. 5D MarkII is for nature and landscapes.

Nikon failing to release a body to meet the 5DmkII's resolution this year would be a poor business move. Daily I'm reading many responses from people saying they have purchased a 5DmkII or will be doing so shortly, so now is not the time for Nikon to be cautious and leaving such a gaping hole in their lineup until, another year down the track. I currently own a D700 but would upgrade to a D700x in a heartbeat as I primarily need the extra resolution for my landscape photography. Exactly.

One for year, two or none of them. But so many of them and sucha strange lenses as: AF-S DX Nikkor 60-95mm f/2G VR (The DX dream-telezoom!) is toomuch. I don´t believe that rumour. Alot of new thigs yes but not that much. Nikon is very reluctant to issue new models. One for year, two or none of them.

All of the tests I have seen of the lens, and my own experience, are contrary to what you experienced. I just don't think people should make blanket statements about a product just because they perhaps had one bad sample. I'm convinced the first Nikon 14-24 I received was not good either (not sharp, dust behind the front element). Got a replacement and was able to see that what everyone said about the lens was accurate.

How is Nikon going to justify a higher resolution D700x for less money than the D700. I own a D700, and I would be ticked to have paid more $$ for less resolution. Yes, I know all about the D700's low light and high speed characteristics, but many flolks look at resolution first and everything else second. That said, Bring It On!!

The D700 is great though. I think if it goes with 24MP and 1080 video $3000-$3500 would not be out of touch. As always for you and me the lower end of that scale is better but I think that is where it will come in. I also think it will probably be far better than the Canon.
