D700 + 24-70mm f/2.8 got me free shipping and $300 instant rebate. Total was right around $3,750 (I paid extra $49 to ship overnight :) )

Camera arrived yesterday...two words...LOVE IT! Took to...

The Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 is a GREAT lens and would serve you well. But it's going for $850+ used on e-bay, so I'd suggest the following for now:

50mm f/1.4 and SB-800. And do yourself a favor and...

I had kit lenses with my D80 and D300...and sold them all on ebay after I got the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8. Amazing lens! Rock solid. Great images. Yes, pricy, but well worth the money for me.

Thanks for the feedback...made the jump last nigt. My new D700 with 24-70mm 2.8 will be here Thursday! Anybody interested in a used D300 and some DX lenses? :)

Couldn't have said it better myself. I long for the D3 (or D3s for that matter), but with three batteries and the MB-D10 in my bag, the move from D300 to D700, along with $300 rebate, seems like a...

I owned the 18-200mm VRII and had it on my D300. Once I got the 17-55mm f/2.8 the 18-200 went to ebay. Yes, the 18-200 was good "all around" lens, but it just didn't do what I wanted a lens to...

Have had the D300 for a few years and have a good amount of lenses & accessories that will work with D700 (three batteries, grip, 50mm f/1.4, 70-200mm VRI). The 300 has served me well and earned me...

Catering business here in town wants me to shoot product images for their web site. They are partners with a children’s clothing distributor who also wants product shots (and I've got 10+ kids on...

Wedding photogs put me on to this one -- a modification to allow your SB-800 to rotate past 90 degrees to the right.

Purchased two new SB-800's last...

Or as Nikon calls them, "micro"(?).

Always trying to improve my photog skills and now that the 17-55mm 2.8 is on the way, well, I just can't sit still. Looking for that next lens to get into...

Glad I eBayed my D80 when I did (few months ago), and stepped up to the 300. I got out while the getting was good...and got good $$$ for my 80. No D60 plans for this dog. Just looking to get the...

SCORE! Lots and lots of 17-55mm 2.8's on ebay, I'm guessing because people moving to FX sensor cameras (thank you D700). Thought I had one locked up, but was out-bid at last moment @ $830 +...

I've read great things about the Tamron...just wanting to stay with Nikon for this lens.

Been eyeballing the 17-55mm 2.8 for a while. Seeing prices in the $900-1050 range (? strange how they are still holding their value so well...new ones cost $1199).

Anyway, found an auction selling...

Yes, at this time in my life the 24-70mm f/2.8 is out of my price range. Love my 50mm, but often find myself backing up to fit all in the frame. The 18-200mm is good all-around lens, but just not...

600 not very limiting, just knowing I'll need backup flash for wedding photography. And the 900 offers more power and flexibility. The 600 will be used as backup and remote flash.

Contemplating the 17-55mm 2.8 vs the SB-900.

In my camera bag already: D300, 70-200mm VR, 12-24mm f/4, 50mm F/1.4, 18-200mm VR, SB-600.

Leaning towards the lens. Convince me either way...

Nice work! I'm still too chicken to dive into wedding photog. Still feeling like I need a few more things for my camera bag and, above all, more experience.

Been nosing around various wedding photog sites. Most have the following in thier camera bag: 70(80)-200mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4 or 1.8, mid range 2.8 zoom, nice wide, depending on DX or FX camera.

Got my D80 with the 18-135mm in kit. Quickly eBayed that lens and opted for others. I would skip it all together and go right to the 18-200mm VR. Longer reach and VR make ita much better option...

Vis: You think the new 700 is going to outpace the 5d, and the 5d MkII for that matter?

Fortunate to have tickets to the US Olympic Swimming trials here in Omaha. Took my camera the first night and got some okay shots (note to self, must have press credentials...).

Second night just...

My 8 year old daughter is wanting a digital camera for her birthday (July). Like to keep it under $60, but don't want a crappy hannah-montana disney cheapo camera.

I'm completely guessing here when I say I doubt Nikon will come out with a direct Canon 5D fighter. Why? If they do come out with a D300fx, or whatever you want to call it, they would probably...
