My buddy John also a forum mate, a lurker most of the time is itching to get a D800. And I would be interested is seeing how it works :-)

BUT I really want to get a down sized kit going that will provide imagery on a par with the D700...

I'm getting too old to lug around the 29 pound Domke.. To say nothing about my big glass, it hasn't seen the light of day since last October!!!
:seesaw:

If you want to ditch more of that heavy gear let me know . I'll cover shipping

I am not sure that there will be a D400 just yet, the D7000 does a pretty good job in that market slot.

I think you may be right.

I am surprised more people lusting after a D400 havent opted for the D7000. It is a very capable DX camera (6fps is faster than the D800!).

The only down side I have encountered is that with cheap consumer lenses it focuses a bit slow. Stick a pro lens on and its fine.

I'm leaning that way but have to price things out

My problem with the D800 is burst rate. I'm waiting for the D300 replacement as well, but I'm also seriously considering the D4. - EdM

Using the optional multi-power battery pack increases the burst rate.

That's only in DX mode if I remember correctly.

Personally, I love my D7000 and use it in professionally circumstances (University newspapers, University Athletic webpages) and serves all my needs. I shoot all sports with that and a 35 1,8G 50 1,8D 70-300VR. The clean high ISOs (shooting 3200 is no problem) makes these lenses shine (especially the 70-300). 6 FPS is fast enough for me to shoot any sport.

I suspect Ed's requirement is for something faster than the D800s 4fps.

Coming from the old school, I rarely use anything other than single shot anyway.

Coming from the D40 (which might as well be single shot for sports) ^ FPS lets me capture more moments than before-so it's a win for me.
