Thanks again for all the good advice. I guess I will stay away from third party suppliers. Too bad, their prices and reviews are really good.
That being said, I had a chance to put my hands on the bodies today and the choice was immediate and obvious to me; I felt much better with the Nikon ergonomics menu system. So it is a D300S or D700! What say you Markus? Both bodies felt good to me and I guess the specs speak for themselves, but in a way I feel that the D300S, a 16-85 and a short macro mrime is the way to start. I frankly felt the 24-70 2,8 was very heavy for a walk around lense and maybe feel that some compromise has to be made when you are not a pro. I look forward to hearing you opinions <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
