I think the new Nikon's replacements for D300 (except D3x) and up would be 16mega-pixels, full HD video, and the AF system would have something that this D7000 has plus something more.
I wish Nikon would come out with a full sensor replacement for the D700. I am not looking for more MPs but would like a full FX camera with 1080p video.

One major problem with the D700 is that if a DX lens is attached, only 5.1MP are available for that lens. There must be more total pixels to correct this problem.
But I really wonder whether Nikon will produce the camera that you want at a reasonable price, since it might harm D3S/D3X sales.

I was going to wait for the D300 replacement to come out D400 or whatever it will be. But my D300 started having AF issues. So I preordered a D7000 from my local shop. I received it on 10/19 and I am really pleased with it. I am having to get acquainted with the button layout. I could run my D300 in the dark but the D90/D7000 layout it a bit different philosophy.
The AF on D7000 as far as I can tell so far is just as good as D300 just fewer points. I do like that it does not slow down the FPS when going to 14 bit RAW. Quiet Mode, Live view/video switch is real nice. Focus point lock lever is a plus. I do not like the rotary switch for different modes have already knock it out a few times wile shooting and missed some great shots because of it. The memory card door is easy to open on accident when removing from case.
It is a great camera takes really nice captures I will get used to its little quirks. I will probably still get the D400 when it comes out. This better than my D300 so Iwould amagine the D300 replacement should be outstanding.
Thank you Chris for your review.
