Successor to D700 - D710?

brownie314

I know this topic has probably been beat to death on this forum and others, but just wanted to gather everyones thoughts together in one place on this topic. Was the D800 the successor to the D700 - many think not. Was the D600 - probably not. So will there be a FF pro bodied camera from Nikon with the smaller body size of the D700? I know everyone is thinking the next pro body will be the d400, and maybe it will. But will there ever be an update to the D700. I am thinking D4 sensor, weather sealed, lots of external control interface knobs and buttons, 8fps...you get the picture - like the D700 was to the D3. Or was the D700 just a one time phenomena?

Yes it has been beaten to death
Yes the D800 was the successor to the D700 (and a brilliant successor too)
No will we will not get a D710
and IMHO will not get a D400 ether
but as ever, this is Just MHO

It was the D800. THe D600 was added since the FX movement seemed very strong to Nikon. Those who still own their D700s are still very loyal to them. Having owned a D700 (and sold it) I am CERTAIN the D800 was intended to be the replacement. The REAL pent up demand in almost ENTIRELY for a D400. I feel the D800 is easily one of the best cameras nikon ever built. As to quality in relation to price I believe the current D7100 is easily one of Nikon's best offerings. I am in fact probably going to buy yet another one of those in a few days.
