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.
Judith doesnt like the feel of the D7000. Not as nice as her D200.
I really dont mind as I find I get used to the camera. I'm happy with my Nikon kit as it is. I will probably slim down the cameras but keep the lenses.
I am investing more in my lighter and equally good Fuji X series cameras.
