1 stop better?
Just to remember, for every single photo, you must downsample to 57% to get such better ISO for D800, otherwise its ISO is worse than D700 without downsample.
Then you want to expand the D700 images to 36MP to compare? To compare fairly, you have to make the images the same size. Downsampling the higher res image makes more sense than upsampling the low res image.
Some people are speculating that the D7000 replacement will be the new top of the line DX camera, and the D400 will be the new entry level FX camera (something like a D700 replacement)after the release of D800 and D4, it seems there is a hole in between - where is the direct replacement for D700 - an affordable full frame camera with high ISO capabilities, low MP and good AF system? The 5DMkIII looks like the best option but it is Canon.

I still find d800 more appealing.
D700 users might not upgrade esp their camera is very good already.

ya, but if 5DMKIII price same or higher than D800.... then still not a replacement.... $$$$ wise..... of course if they really price much better than D800.... then some may well jump.... but looking at it now.... like likely the MKIII will be higher price than D800....:sweat:
Well, i think that for some folk, the $$$ may not be that big an issue.
what's more, if you consider that for SGD 3k-ish range, one can keep changing camera every 3 to 4 yrs, it's very very good deal. (depreciation only around 1000 depending on when and how much you sell old set)
if there is a "hole" for a higher ISO quality, low MP system, it should be priced below the D800 if going by the previous D3s-D3x pricing... otherwise, the D700 is still availableafter the release of D800 and D4, it seems there is a hole in between - where is the direct replacement for D700 - an affordable full frame camera with high ISO capabilities, low MP and good AF system?
