im between a d700 and a d7000 for sports. im currently doing hockey and i have been told to shoot at 4000 ISO to get good images shooting though the glass. just wondering what camera is better at that iso level and higher. i like the d700 because it is full frame but id hate to spend all that money then a d800 comes out and the price drops. the d7000 was quoted by ken rockwell as the best image quality at any level for nikon.

First off, Ken Rockwell is a F'n joke....But this isnt a Ken Rockwell rant thread ( although the more the better )

If you dont mind the lack of more "pro" feel of the D7000, the D7000 is a very good camera, and it compares well to the D300s. The D300s does have great autofocus, but the iso performance of the d7000 should be noted here.
IMO if you can wait out till the D400, I would totally do it. I am in the same boat as you, and that was my choice. The D400 is going to be fantastic, and it will be a "pro" DX model.
Im stoked for it.

Personally I would go for the Nikon D7000, as the technology of this Camera is newer. The D300's are of cause a more professional series, but older. If you wan't the Pro's, I would wait till they launch some new Pro products that has the same tech as the D7000.
