Neat photo. And yes the high ISO noise performance is great. But the  
D700 is great at every ISO. I ran a resolution test at ISO 100  
yesterday and compared the D700 to the EOS 1Ds Mk II. I used the  
105mm f1.8 Nikkor on both bodies and found the resolution was actualy  
better with the D700 at 5 f stops and the same at 3 stops. I did not  
expect that. I used standard USAF test charts for the test.
