Well, you can't go wrong with either camera <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> They mainly differ in sensor size only, but there are two major selling points for the D300s.



One is the 16-85 VR, which indeed offers a lot for the money. The obvious choice for the D700 in this range would be the upcoming 24-120/4 VR, but it won't be in store before the end of September.



The other one is AF frame coverage. Since both cameras use the same AF system, the frame coverage is a lot larger on the D300s.



So, unless you really want or need FX, the D300s is the way to go.



Regarding Macro, have a look at the 105 VR. It's not small (in fact it's rather huge), but offers very high quality and doubles as a long (and stabilized) portrait prime.

Thanks again <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Have you an idea what the price of the 24-105 will be? Also, I have an offer for a used D700, less than 10000 pics, bought in Nov 09 for 1700€ and finally, what do you think of a used 2,8 35-70 D for 280€?
