Something makes me think that the successor to the D700 is right around the corner. I have asked several resellers over the last 6 months and, until now, they have always answered clearly that they know nothing, but that it is not soon. This time nobody answers, which makes me think that something is about to be launched. Has anyone else heard, or not heard, something? Kindly VL

Not sure if anyone's seen this:

It's a shame that online retailers are pocketing the extra money here. Wish they donated the extras to Japan instead. While it will not be enough to bring things back to the original state (if that's possible at all), without the production resuming in Japan, what are these sellers going to sell when the stocks run out?



I guess individuals could do it too... but who's going to auction their used D700 and 70-200 VR II and donate the extras to a Japanese earthquake charity?!
