tired of waiting for the camera fairy to arrive from nikon so I am upgrading. D7000 is what i picked, superior to the D300 and a big enough jump in sensor and high ISO , still allowing me to use my 80-200 2.8 D and my 17-55 2.8 DX . My plan will be to replace the 80-200 2.8 D with a 70-200 AF-S . I was told the D700 and maybe new D600 most likely wont auto focus on the older D lenses due to the body not having a motor or some such. and if i make the jump to FX i would be replacing 2 very expensive pieces of glass. I gave myself till friday to decide . My D200 is allready up for sale .. wish me luck

Good luck! You will miss the D200, don't give it away (cheap), they aren't bringing much these days. It's still a very good camera.

I got a quote from B&H for $215 which was a slap in the face. Someone will love a gently used D200 with boxes and a MBD200 grip .

personally i would keep the d200 as back up ,different type lens camera i have a d200 and a d7000 and love them both ,but under certain circumstances the 200 will outperform the newer 7000 not often but it happens ..most lenses made by nikon will fit and work on the d7000 so don't rush into changing for the sake of it .take your time and wait for a bargain

A second body can be very handy especially for sports.

The D600 when it comes (probably announced at Photokina in September or just before) will probably do the same, Nikon seldom make items redundant from their pro range. BTW: The D7000 will probably be replaced this year  So a further wait might get you more bang for your $

Patience Rick. As soon as you pull the trigger on the D7000, the D600/D7100/D400 will all miraculously appear. Murphy's Law at it's best.

I thought it was later than that . My limit is $1600 . the D7000 now is $1099 . the D700 is still 2200 which I cant do because of the fact I am not a pro nor will I be ,

Congrats on the new Box Rick, and yes the D700 works with any Nikkor AF lens electronic or screw drive focusing... And if you pop for a VR70-200 f2.8 AF-S make sure it's the newer vesion, an "ii" as my earlier version wide open doesn't quite cover the corners of the frame well.. The older 80-200f2.8 AF will though.. Going to fell frame will basically obsolete the 17-55f2.8 it will be somewhat usable, but more an inconvenience then a useable lend on the full frame sensor. It was virtually parked in my vault once I started shooting the D700's.. Good luck and have fun with the new toy
