Just wait for a d800...but with a 100% view (the big problem on the D700). But if you don't need video, a D600 with the 100% view and a 24 MP sensor... Wait and see.

I have been waiting for a competitor 5D MKII, but unless Nikon wakes up and comes out with something I'll be switching to Canon. I like my Nikon, but I also want the option of quality HD video when I need it (rare, but if I can have it for teh same cost, etc., I'll opt for that). C'mon Nikon, don't give up so soon!

So maybe they are just trying to increase the gap in terms of time by releasing it later? Another thing why Nikon don't release much news in terms of new sensor ISO performance or higher pixel rate seem to be Nikon don't have any new censors to buy, or am I wrong here? There is nothing new since the 12 MP sensor and that is ages ago it came out, the 24 MP seem to be more similar to the Sony where Nikon's internal engine makes it "perform" a bit better than Sony, but still has a low ISO performance nothing similar to Canons 5D2, or am I thinking totally wrong here? maybe the reason if Nikon wont release a successor to D700 is maybe simply Nikon have experienced too much of a cannibalism on the D3?

This will fulfill my wish for a lightweight FF. D3x is too huge for my liking... and too expensive(as i am not a pro :D) Infact, my only wish is a video HD on top of existing D700. Other than that, D700 is like what you've mentioned, enginnering masterpiece. i’ve been using using D90 since it was launched and am used to the video shooting along with still photo… that is why i am hoping for a D700s/x.

The pictures I saw so far tell a different story. But apart from ISO, you do recognize that the sensor is physically bigger? Which is in my eyes THE crucial argument for FX. Same ISO???

I have a few shots of mine blown up to 20x30 framed on my walls that were taken with my D70. I guess since they were only 6MP they actually suck, but I'm not good enough to see it. Oh well.

And yes, clients sometimes do ask for stuff that's not needed, but you cannot tell them that. You either comply or they take their business elsewhere. Not only is it the megapixels, I believe it's getting to also be the video component as well. I do believe we're headed into a world where many pro still photographers will have to also use some video...and that photographers will have to adapt to this new multimedia world.

What do we want...a new flavor of dslr introduced the way Dell or HP always comes out w/ new models of PC's? A good camera is like a classic car or fine wine; it doesn't need to be replaced so instantly. The D700 is an engineering masterpiece; enjoy it. It's successor will come soon enough. It's been said over and over: we all would take better pictures if we spent more time out shooting pics and learning the true art of photography than always demanding the next great thing.

Do you need it to make a living because you are a professional studio or wedding photographer and your clientele are only hiring those that have 20+ MP cameras and not those with any less? Or, are you a landscape photographer whose income is entirely dependent on sales of 48x72" poster prints intended for scrutiny under a loupe? Or just maybe, do you feel the need to compensate for something below the waste that's a little lacking? May I ask, why you need a 24 MP D700x/D800?
