Ok. So I purchased a lightly used D700 about a month ago. I definitely enjoy the camera, and it produces excellent images. I foresee the camera lasting for a while. However, I am allways looking at the future. I rented a D800 and played with it for a couple of weeks. While it is an excellent camera, and the images are stunning, the fact that you damn near have to have it on a tripod to get sharp images is not exciting for me. I like to move when I shoot. And while I am a little rusty around the camera, I know that I can hand hold sharp images with my F5 down to 1/30 of a second. Hand holding the D800 was a nightmare. Even 1/500 seems a bit soft. So my question is when I decided to move on from the D700, where do I go? I was thinking about maybe a used D4? I have plenty of time to decide, but I want to start researching now. 16MP would allow for larger prints with more detail...maybe? I like to do landscapes, but I also want to do sports. I need something that will perform at indoor swim meets and concerts. I need good low light performance, and I need it to flat out move.
Anyway... looking forward to hearing your advice. Thanks!
PS... I own and used good glass. So I know that isn't my issue.
