Studio why are you going to buy a D3100? Just buy the new D90 it'll have video too. Or are you going to buy the D3100 and a few weeks later "upgrade" to the new D90?

Nah . . . the D3100 is pretty affordable, and I expect the new D90 to be hundreds more. Unless the new D90 turns out to be significantly faster (more sensitive) than the D3100, it won't be worth the added expense just for filmmaking applications, which is all I'd be using the D3100 for. Also, I really want to move to an FX body to shoot stills, so I gotta reserve some cash for a current-model D700, since a new FX body from Nikon maybe as much as a year away.

Also, I may have just courted my first commercial account, so I think I may really "need" an FX body . . . now! I hope I get it (the account)! It's a bikini company!

Jonny: you're probably right. At the risk of sounding like one of the D700 fanboys over on the blog, I'm really curious to see how the 90 replacement shapes up, though...

Oh, I hope the D90 replacement sensor does outperform the D700 (though I doubt it). If it did, they'd be more likely to replace the D700 before the end of the year, so even those fanboys should be happy.

Doesn't have to outperform the 700. I'll be perfectly happy as long as it significantly outperforms the 90.

Well, the recent posts on the NR blog really kinda stunned me back into reality. The suggestion that a new D700 would follow only AFTER the introduction of a new flagship body, i.e., the "D4," sure makes sense. The wait for a new "D4" could be a long one. If that were to come out tomorrow, that's what I would buy. I was hoping to get away "cheap" and get a new, 1080p24-enabled, "D800" for only about $2,500, but since the D4 is likely to precede that announcement, I'd probably just go for it, and get the D4 instead. Don't really want to spend $5,200 on the current D3s in mid-product cycle with no 1080p24 capability.

I have been using the D700 for 18 months now. Can't imagine ever going back to DX. Haven't touched my D40 in ages. I would get a Canon G11 before I got another DX SLR.

DX lenses will soon die :-)

Yes a new D700 will eventually come.

I think this thread has pretty much become pointless so I'm closing it now.
