Jayanand,

Unless you have all DX lenses, why upgrade? Even with DX lenses the  
D700 automatically senses the smaller circle and automatically crops  
to 1.5X. I find it's very difficult to see any degradation. And I'm  
now really enjoying all my old manual focus wide angle lenses. And  
they look great.

Of course the new 14-24 and 24-70 zooms are spectacular. I don't have  
either :-(  but have used them.
