If it is one thing that I have learned from this list, it is that all of
you have accumulated a great deal of wealth, and don't think twice about
spending a few bucks on small things like chips, components, getting PCBs
made professionally, tools, etc.

So why watch D700 prices? The most it'll drop is, what, $200 or so? And I'm
sure you have WAY more than $200 lying around. If you really want it, BUY
IT NOW!

I know if I had as money as all of you do, I certainly wouldn't be so
frugal with respect to good quality items such as this camera.
