Agreed.

Same reason as why the 5Dmk2 is 2.5k
Large sensors are a lot more expensive to make than smaller ones and D700 probably has the best AF system out there and it's high ISO performance would put any of the lower end cameras to shame.
From what I have read it's basically a slightly downgraded D3 which cost more than twice as much.

i only want it because i want to go full frame, my choice is that or the 5d mkii, i have never used cannon, and am very inclined to change but most people tell me that the d700 has the edge in several areas.

i was looking at the d700 + 24 - 120 and 16-35 both fx lens for £4k.

What is a 24-120?

Get the 24-70 and the 70-200 VR II

The tele is probably the sharpest zoom I've ever used.

even sharper then the 70-200 f/2.8 Mark II?

This. That 70-200 VR II is a frakking beast! Then add the 14-24 into the mix. And you won't ever need anything more. I can die happy with that setup right there. But sadly, I won't be getting any new camera equipment for a while. I'll explain more tomorrow
