No longer a newbie, moving up!
I have the best glass, no issue there...
The deal fell through so I'm still looking.
If I do spring for the D800 it means
1) new learning curve
2) new peripherals (batteries, cards, grip, etc)
not ruling it out.
Didn't I just read in another of your posts that you were the kind of guy who had to have the best you could afford. So if you can afford a D800 then your decision is made, no?
From specs only I'm not convinced that the D800 is not a better camera than the D700. FPS aside, the D800 may be a more versatile instrument.
