I'm guessing the D2X will still be used in the studio.Why wouldn't you use the D700 for studio also?

I'm guessing the D2X will still be used in the studio.
Personally I'd go for the D700. Practically the same camera but with a few newer features that the D3 doesn't have yet it's a lot cheaper.

Nice thing about the D700, still has pop-up flash for CLS control.
I like to use the D700 with a grip but it's nice to put a 50mm 1.4 on, take the grip off and "go light" every now and again.
price wise it's a pretty hefty jump from d700 to d3s though
also the weight for a d3 fully loaded is something else. working for 9/10 hrs weight becomes an issue.
At least you are only using short glass... try it with some long stuff (and everything else you need for a day in your pockets too). Its a man's world in motorsport
hahaha...or wear body-armour as well...lol
Thanks for all the replies,
Im going for the D3 but my next question is, D3 or D3s
Is it worth the extra money for the D3s,
It will be used for wedding mostly, I suppose the D3s is better iso.
But is it really worth the extra money.
Thanks again

If i'm honest - probably not.
You get an extra stop or so of high iso performance, and sensor cleaning built in.
For that you will pay an extra £1400 on top of a good clean used D3.
Get a D700 a save yourself a heap of cash! Image quality between the two is indistinguishable - no reason why the D700 can't be used in the studio too... I'd say only get a D3 if you need the few extra frames per second it offers, which in studio or at weddings i don't think you will. I bought a D3 because I got an astonishingly good price (£2200 new!), but now wish i'd bought a nearly new D700 i was offered for £900 less and put that money on glass - i love the D3 but dont need the extra fps even for motorsport.
May I ask where you purchased your new D3 from at £2200 please
