I believe this signals the begining of the end for DX (in nikons terminology) size sensors (all-be-it in a few years).

I was very tempted to buy it, but about half my lenses are DX only and although they will work with the D700 they would only be 6mp. Sensor cleaning not a big deal in my experience, but I like the idea of a (relatively) huge viewfinder!

I have a D200 now, which is great, so I guess I shall still have to upgrade to the D300 instead.
