If you want to see comparison with a D700, a couple weeks ago I shot the big apple circus myself with my D700. You can see some shots from it at these blog posts:

I think a "D700S" with "just" a D3S sensor wouldn't be enough. Even with performance like this lots of photogs would be disappointed if it's the only thing that it gets updated with. Many have extremely high hopes for a D700 replacement/upgrade.

I agree Niko; The D3s is a special camera that really designed to do well at high ISO, low light AF, it is at the moment without any doubt the best sports camera

The D700 replacement have to have higher MP and preferable better video to go up against the 5D MKII. Also in the same way the D300s will be short lived as a better DX is needed to get even with the new 7D, although I am still sure of that the D300s is a better overall DX sports camera, the AF system is simply better

sick, absolutely SICK!!

I would still wait for the D700s with same sensor, a D3s is a bit much for everyday photography without the kicks and jolts of sports. . .

But I already have the older 70-200 lens, just the D3s would be fine with me
