Canon EF-S lenses won't fit on a full-frame body, by design. Some examples: the 18-200, 17-85, 18-55 (all types)

Nikon DX lenses will fit on a full-frame (FX) body but at most focal lengths and apertures the edges will be dark and unusable. Some of the FX bodies recognise when a DX lens is fitted and switch to crop mode (with less Mpix). Your 12Mpix D700 becomes a sort of 5Mpix D300.

What do you mean by "less value"? I like the DX crop lenses. They're usually smaller, lighter and cheaper than the FX equivalent - when there is one. I use the 18-200VR DX a lot and there is no FX equivalent. I like the DX bodies. The D60 is the first SLR of any type that fits in the bag I used to use with my Leica.
