Yeah, the D700 aint a 'Mid-Range' DSLR and I doubt Nikon would ever discribe it as that. It is no less than a fully professional, but small, DSLR.
The D80 is still Nikon's mid-range camera.
Thanks for the feedback Gumpty, and I agree, the headline could have been better worded and has been altered accordingly.
wish they would get a wiggle on and bring out a replacememnt for the D80, my D70 is a bit long in the tooth and cant afford a D300.
It will be interesting what they do bring out to replace the D80. They won't want it too similar to the D300 as it will take a bunch of business away from it. Maybe a D80x version first with the 3" screen, new expeed processor and things like live-view and sensor cleaning but the 12MP sensor and faster shutter may wait for the D90.Quote:

Cheapest I've found a D300 body new is around £830 inc VAT at Dixons in Heathrow.
