Much confusion between DX and FX format... Does Nikon Cameras ie. D90 and D700 supports both DX and FX format? Or there are some cases where certain cameras cannot support certain format?
Your question is a bit vague, so will try to explain as best I can based on my assumption of your intention.Much confusion between DX and FX format... Does Nikon Cameras ie. D90 and D700 supports both DX and FX format? Or there are some cases where certain cameras cannot support certain format?

my attempt to explain to ts in a nutshell.
look at table under Digital SLRs
http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm
DX (D90) body -
1. All nikon F-mount lens including DX and FX lens will be able to mount
2. All lens (DX and FX) functions supported except in AI lens no metering. (autofocus?)
FX (D700) body -
1. All nikon F-mount lens including DX and FX lens will be able to mount
2. Vignetting when using DX lenses. The degree of vignetting will depend on individual lens.
This is what happen when using a crop lens on a full frame body.
For third party lenses
Sigma DG and DC
Tamron Di and Di II
Hi Coolthought,
For Sigma lens, is DG equivalent to "FX" while DC equivalent to "DX"?

a simple look at the sigma lens site will give you a better answer. Can't depend on my memory.
Yes you are right DG for FX and DC for DX, for Tamron would be Di for FX and Di-II for DX.
Some good references on sigma/tamron lens abbrevations

As additional, Tokina lens is more straight forward.
They indicate whether it is DX or FX lens in the lens name itself:
