Hey thanks so much Bambi. Well I am really lovin this D700. The autofocus is so right on. The continuous focus feature for moving subjects actually works! I purchased a 24-70 zoom lens, f 2.8 Nikkor that is fast and very sharp. Now I need to find a used Lensbaby 2.0 or Muse with the Nikon mount and I will be all set. If you get a chance Bambo try out a D700. You just might become a fellow Nikonian - jimmy
