I've got a $4,500 dollar budget. Should I buy a used mahogany billiard table with ivory accents or wait for the D700 replacement? If I get the D700 replacement what lenses should I buy? Will the kit lens be awesome or should I buy the 24mm f1.4G instead? I like to photograph cute kittens and flowers.

20+ years of enjoyment and countless number of photo opportunities vs. unannounced and still unknown D700 replacement that will last you 4 years. My vote - Mahogany billiard table.

How can we answer this intelligently without knowing what you're currently using, Super Shooter? I will say that if you don't have the ivory accents in your current kit, there's no question the table is the way to go. They add that certain I-don't-know-what and the kittens will still be cute when they're older.
Don't forget that the budget needs to cover the accessories, too. There's nothing like a well-built cue stick and if you buy second rate billiard balls you'll likely never have a satisfying balance or bounce from any of them, which can mean the difference between playing like an amateur and playing like a pro.

But, jonnyapple should I wait for the Aramith Belgian tournament series replacements which are due out anytime now?

Hi,
"If I get the D700 replacement what lenses should I buy? Will the kit lens be awesome or should I buy the 24mm f1.4G instead?"
I thought you said you only have $4500? ;-)
My best,
Mike

I agree, I shoot with 35mm 1.8 on DX right now and I always want it to be wider- 24mm on DX would be great, 24 on FX would be freaking awesome.
You'd even have money left over, I think.

Go with the table. I mean the felt is good right, table is perfect. Table is for a lifetime cameras can be temporary=( And as a added plus the table would be harder to steal.
