Naahhh....... I can still squeeze off a good shot with my D80. :mrgreen:D700, from everything you read from some people that have them there is no other way to take a quality photo these days unless you have one.

Big second on the D300 now D700 later use D300 as backup because you'll need backup for portraits and weddings.
If you seriously do portraits and weddings you'll have little time for wildlife/landscape.
If you really want to use your 18-200mm, buy a D300. I know you can use DX lenses on the D700, but that turns it into a 5MP camera. A D700 used as a 5MP camera with an optically not so good lens looks like a huge waste of money to me.
I have been thinking about getting the D300 now, then wait until I get a FX body to get the 14-24 lens. I could get something like the 12-24 f/4 lens instead.
Anyone see any issues with this?
Well, if you want to buy a FX camera in the future, why don't you buy the 14-24mm instead of the 12-24mm?
The 14-24 will still *work* though until you get a FX camera. What happens is that it turns into something like a 22-38mm effective focal range, which is the end of the ultra wide range through the end of the wide range. Essentially what happens is, with DX the lens turns into a wide-angle zoom instead of an ultrawide zoom, and since ultrawide is what's making the lens so expensive it's what you're really paying for. It's still a very good wide-angle lens though and should serve you well until you go FX.
In the meantime, if you really want to shoot ultrawide but can't afford a D700, there's always cheap ($50 range) film bodies that will take the full 14-24 range.
Good call Josh. Now you can buy some FX/Film lenses if you plan on upgrading to an FX later. I love my D300 but plan on going to FX if this economy gets better and, keeping my D300 for the crop factor on some lenses.
I know they take different memory cards than the DXX line, so I'll need to pick one of those up. Is there anything else I am missing? I just have this feeling that I am forgetting something...
