Soon to be updated? Any rumors or should I get the D700 and hope that there is no D700s?

David, you should keep an eye on nikonrumors [dot] com They monitor all of the word on the street. Current consensus is that there is not going to be a refresh for the D700 this year. I have owned one for a year and a half, and am absolutely thrilled with it. I will keep it for a very long time. The overall sensor performance (low-light, etc.) is still one of the best in the world. see dxomark [dot] com

Ok we are almost in march and nothing about shipping dates! I read that the dealay was due to a firmware fix to solve auto-focus issues (Too slow!). I was thinking in buy a Nikon d5000 with the wide-angle DX format 35mm f1.8 and save a $1000.00 dollars. I think with this solution I can have the same image quality in a much bigger, but cheapper, gear. And is in Stock! Not a good representation for Leica. I am changing my mind about this brand.

I too have my heart set on the d300. I would have purchased it already if I had not also heard the rumors of the price drop with the release of the d300s. I hear it could go as low as $1200! I'm going to wait it out a couple more weeks but I don't think I can hold out any longer than that!

The introduction date of the Nikon D700 was late 2007. At that time video was not as dominant in the DSLR families as it is today. The camera was never upgraded to handle video. The D700 is still superior to most DSLRs in the current market place, hence the continued demand, although Nikon shut down production of it in 2012. In my opinion, it is still the best full frame camera on the market for the average photographer not engaged in sports or fast paced photojournalism. Hope this helps . . . bgs.

I upgraded from the D90, haven't used the D3100. I'd expect it's a good upgrade as the D3100 has been upgraded twice. I think waiting at least ntil the second upgrade makes sense as the next upgrade is more incremental than revolutionary. I think you'll like the D7100. I find it easier to operate and use thatn my D90 even though I had it 3 years. Have fun shooting with whatever you choose.

It is not compatible with the D700. I thought it was when I bought it, but will keep it in case I get a new camera soon.

I too am looking for a new cyber-shot. I am looking to buy the dsc-w290 but I have heard great things about the WX1, such as the new panoramic sweep mode and cmos sensor. Not to mention zoomable HD video is amazing.Why you should wait however, is that this is the first batch of cameras with the new sensor. It also uses a smaller LCD than the 3.0 inch they started using such as the dsc-w290 and is only 10.1 mp which if you shoot in 16:9 mode, will be even less.Sony will come out with new cameras being announced in January at the CES 2010 show and then you should decide. If nothing substantial is announced, the price for this will have dropped greatly. I too am looking for a new cyber-shot.

I too have been waiting over a month with no end in sight. I have missed most of the summer and am getting very annoyed with Amazon's system. I am now wordering if Nikon is coming out with a new model (D60) as they are doing with the D80? Since the summer is almost gone I will wait a little longer for the camera but will think very hard about purchasing expensive items from them in the future without a firm shipping date.

I give up, I picked up the S95 and the ZS7 for our cruise next week. Nikon told everyone this would be out by the end of September. Anyone hear anything else?

Hey all! I am also extremely interested in the upcoming Zeikos battery grip for the D7000. I connected with customer support through the Zeikos website (much like @graceful did) and they just informed me that their development department will not have this product ready until the end of April. This is a real downer. Another full month without an alternative to the overprices MB-D11 option.

This Canon November 3rd announcement looks to be a video-related one: http://www.photographybay.com/2011/09/15/major-canon-announcement-confirmed-for-nov-3/. Still I can't imagine Canon will sit around while people like ourselves are looking to jump ship. I will also wait for the initial reviews to roll in on the A65. Interesting (though not super technical) video comparison with the T3i here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XHmYz1POgE

Thanks Conway, I was so happy to see your post it gave me the push to order the Nikon D700 today from B&H.; This is my first full frame camera and I just wanted to make sure that I was making the right decision. I was mostly leaning toward the Nikon but had to consider the Mark 2. Thanks again for your help.

Who knows about rumors? My guess is ~ a year or so, and a D700 variant may be added to the mix, rather than replacing the D700.If a high MPx sensor [D3x variant] is added as a D700x, then this would be an additional, more expensive $4-5k model. If the D3s sensor is swapped in, then ??? Such a swap will not happen soon, lest Nikon loose too many D3s sales IMO.There are _some_ deals available that give some savings with a combo purchase ...

Last time I searched for a release date, they said March 31st is when Fuji is supposed to release this product.. I'll probably be happy with anything as I had the Fuji S700 so this is a big upgrade for me.. I'm waiting patiently..

BUMP. Same question. I've been waiting awhile to get even a tiny camcorder b/c I figure wait as long as you can, then buy what's current. Some stuff I'll want to do, not sure if I can wait any longer than mid April. Anyone from Amazon please comment...
