Didn't it just come out a month ago? Why did you replace it so quick with a D700?
I have a D-90.
It's much beefier than the D-80. It feels heavier. I like everything about it ('cept video) as I'm a Nikon fan, and have been using Nikon since I got an F3.
It seems faster to me, but it could be because of the new glass I got with it.
I'm NOT fond of the video at all.. at least not yet. I haven't looked into it enoughy to see if you can change the F/stops manually in video mode. So far it's been rolling thru 'iris' settings in video mode and oddly enough I get image warp. It's hard to explain, but if you move to quick.. and by to quick, I mean.. just barely... you get like an image distortion. It's subtle, but I notice it, and it makes me cringe.
So far I can't see a practical use for the video. At least not for porn. I got a few 6 gig cards with mine, and when you go into live mode the video counter reads 5 minutes. It did the same thing when I put a 4 gig card in. It seems you're limited to 5 minutes. Also focusing seems slow in video mode. The DOF is amazing in video mode, but the rack focus in between points is way to slow.
I know when I was shooting on a small sony I could shoot 23 minutes of HD on a 2 gig card.
I seem to have a little bit of free time this evening, so maybe I'll pull out the manual and see if there are any ways to adjust settings while in video mode, but off hand there was nothing that jumped right out at you like all the other settings do.
