Quote: I'm interested to see what you need to get in order for the grip to function to it's full potential. If it's anything like the D300 then the price of a D700 and grip plus extraswon't be far off the price of a D3.
Hi N_N,
What you state is exactly true; the D700 takes the identical accessories as the D300 which, IMVHO, is a bonus for D300 users with a hankering for the D700 or a Full-Frame Nikon DSLR.
I say this, because if someone has the D300 (and 8 fps accoutrements) they can interchange them with the D700 until, of course, they want to have the 8fps accoutrements for the D700
