Do it, it seems like a decent deal. For an extra $1000 tho I would be tempted by the d800 instead.

I have a D300 and a D700 but I use the D700 ALL the time even though the D300 is a great camera. The focusing of the D700 is 2x better than the D300. The 700 is a little slow for sports but with a grip its pretty much a great setup for most anything. I checked out the D7000 once and Id take the 700 all day, anyday.
i was just looking at another thread by markw and according to him there isnt a hugely significant difference in processing time. The other important thing is for sports its better to time your shot with a 4fps than foolishly shoot 12fps for 4 sec. The problem with that is that you have waaay too many pics and if you time it right you get the one good picture you were after anyways. Maybe pm markw, he may be able to send you the raw files.
Needing more power is pretty much an endless road. You will eventually have to upgrade the computer no matter what, this time you are upgrading the camera before you do the computer.
I know what you mean but i have a feeling the d400 will still be a dx as well, if its not then i think i will be getting one as well. if it is dx, i may keep the d7000 or go for the d7000 upgrade again. I was wondering whether Nikon may release a d700s or d710 maybe, with a lower mp and higher iso sensitivity (not saying the d800's is bad, but imagine how much better it could be if it was 16 or 24mp.) I only think this might be the case because they stated the d800 is not a replacement for d700, but then again they did the same with the d90.

xposurepro said:D700 is an awesome camera but there's no way I would buy one today knowing that for only 400 more bucks I could get a D800 which is a massive upgrade over the D700. There would have to be a $1000 price difference for me to even consider it.
