I don't think Nikon decide to launch a product and then try to sell through the remaining stock. I think they make stuff in batches and schedule a new production run to be ready just before they run out. Just in time manufacture may apply to the camera bodies (but I suspect not for the pro models) but it almost certainly does not for the pro lenses. since they are going to be looking to make as many as possible from the same batch of glass to ensure consistency. I think that it is highly unlikely that Nikon would tell Sony to do a fab run with the old D3 sensor. So any D700 bodies being made at the moment would have the old sensor. And since the response of the D700 is no better than the D300s, those opting to buy it to go fullframe are making a rather peculiar choice.
