I would prefer the Nikon D700 any day to the Sony A900, mainly for its low light legerdemain - the 24MP bodies are useful only for the studio it seems to me, based on my experience with the Sony A900 and the Nikon D3x, at least for my type of shooting. If low light is of no concern, and you would be willing to work with an inferior viewfinder, and you would want to use it for birds, why would you not get a APS C body modified and save some serious cash?
