There is another benefit:

Both my son and my son in law, when I sent them an email telling them that I had placed my D800 order, both sent me back emails asking who was going to get my D700. My son has my D300 and my son in law has my former D200. Don't tell them that there aren't advantages to the new D800!

By the way, my son in law operates a satellite truck up-link business and contracts with ESPN and other TV networks. He knows a little bit about the video business. He says that everyone in the business is talking about this camera and are anxious to get their hands on it. We have to realize that this camera opens a whole new market for Nikon, regardless of what we may think about it.
