holy crap!
for those who don't keep nikon brochures in their back pocket, let's just say... this is a very fancy camera. super fancy.
i am going from a 6.1 megapixel camera to a 12.1 megapixel camera, which if you just look at how one number is bigger than the other, you can see that's kind of a big deal.
A d700 is a full-frame digital SLR, which means its image sensor is the same size as a 35mm film frame. trust me when i say that's awesome.
flashback: i wrote about acquiring my d70 back in march 2005. i still love it but it's past time to upgrade.
for technical folks: most of my lenses will work great, but i do have one DX lens -- unfortunately it's my 10.5mm fisheye -- so that's the only downside to going with the d700. (a DX lens only uses a portion of the d700 camera's sensor, so you lose functionality -- 5.1 megapixels with a DX lens)
anywho, i am having a hard time not defaulting to jargon. basically i fell in love with the d700 on my trip to japan and ever since have been scheming to buy one. today i noticed the price had fallen again and i went for it. i've been feeling unmotivated about photography lately, and this should give me just the kick in the butt i need.
jeepers. i'm a d700 owner!

Awesome, congrats to you!! Does this mean that things went through? :)
Thanks! No, it unfortunately does not. I find out about the other stuff next week in theory, but I just went ahead and did it anyway. The math worked out.
