My posting history should have a post where I linked to the FM forums. There are a low and high ISO comparison of the DX crop from a D700 and the full D7000. The low ISO one wasn't even close, the D7000 spanked the D700, though that wasn't entirely fair (the D7000 has native ISO100, the D700 has to digitally create it), the high ISO one was closer, with the D7000 resolving more detail and looking a little bit cleaner.
Will try and find it when I'm back home
The D700 should have been at ISO200. The reason that the D700 doesn't have an ISO100 is that there is no improvement at that ISO so holding the shutter open twice as long can introduce noise etc making the image worse. Also what is the point of comparing a D700 using DX or is that an image taken FF and the middle chopped out? If it is then again it's not a proper comparison anyway. The only comparison that would make sense is both cameras attached to the same lens and the same image taken but as they have different sensors the D7000 owner would have to stand further back which would affect the shot anyway. I don't see many people switching from their pro nikons to D7000 bodies.
