Woah - they are discontinuing the D700?
(from that article above)
The new Nikon D3s is ranked right below, being a 12 Megapixel digital SLR for the photo journalist, sports and nature photographer. Followed by the Nikon D700, a compact version of the Nikon D3 which will be discontinued as soon as the Nikon D3s becomes available.
I just did some searching on Google. I came across this thread on DP Reviews.
I think it's the way that it's worded that people have understood it differently.
A post from the NikonRumorsAdmin on the thread:
NikonRumorsAdmin said:I contacted LetsGoDigital and they confirmed to me in an email that the D3 will be discontinued, not the D700.
