Oh wait I just rationalized somethig . If I sell my D200 for 500 ( already have offer) then is the D700 really 2200 or is it 1700 out of pocket ? . Do you guys think the d600 will be comparable with D series lenses ? That is the kicker .

Any D700 replacement will be AF-D focus compatible in my opinion, can't see Nikon dropping this. The D700 will be a big step up in IQ and usable ISO from the D200 and for the sports you like to shoot will be a big help to you. D7000 will also give you much higher ISO and maintain the crop factor which may be helpful for sports shooting. No bad choices here.

I'd say go for the D7000 and sell the D200. The $500 from the D200 sale you can put towards getting the next body.

I wouldnt replace the 80-200 f2.8 AFD (Is it an AF, or AFD? What year of manufacture - if you show picture of lens plate or describe then we should be better placed) as unless you move up to the 70-200 f2.8 AFS VRii then you wont see any advantage and even then that advantage is very small. I dont think VR is all it is cracked up to be.

I would bet that the D600 will be D800-sized but with a smaller sensor and all the same features.  I expect it to be 24MP as well.

I'd use the extra $500 towards a D600 as and when it comes out as it will be $2500 or more but after discounting will drop to $2000 approx.

Don't forget that side of the equation!!!

Yes indeed I didnt mention that factor in my earlier post but it is why I recommended that Ric goes for the D7000.

Good to see you back here and posting.

Now the D800 is out there are quite a few D700 appearing used. I'll certainly be buying another one the minute I get the chance. The D800 is TOO expensive and a D3 will only set me back £1700 used now (not the D3s note)

I miss my D700 like crazy. I wished I'd remained homeless for a bit longer, stayed in the hostel, and kept the D700 now, but hey - we live and learn!
