Frankly, in spite of my ignorance so artfully demonstrated by Brightcolours, I think this last part of the discussion is loosing sight of the wood for all the trees. I think Wim puts it very well; the IQ, the ability to shoot at lower light with same or similar lenses and the "non explainable quality of the pictures" make he difference. Of course shallow DOF is important, but it is only part of the whole. I have rented a D700 for a couple of days and used it with my FX lenses, the 70-300 and the 50mm 2,8 macro and even for me, a publicly certified ignoramus <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> in the photographic field, the difference is amazing. I am trying to find out when the D800 is coming, but at some time in the not so distant future, I wll be shooting FX. Kindly Vieux Loup
