No it isn't. As I keep telling you, the d700 is too damned heavy for my delicate little arms!! And I like the extra reach of the DX, esp with my new 70'300mm. Sigh....
I hate to say this but the D200 is the same weight as the D300...so in the unlikely event of there ever being a D400, I can't see it being any lighter than what you already have.
Incidentally the D700 is only 100g heavier than the D200 ( the D610 is even less!) but as you say...not DX.
I think you would be better looking at the D7100 for a better mix of weight and performance. Or wait for the D7200 which may end up being the D400 in D7000 clothing.
