Don't get me wrong! I will use manual settings in future, for I'm a tweeker. I overclock, watercool and custormise my computer. It's just that when I start, I want to get a feel of the camera and slowly explorer it.

I guess I shall go with the d700 for it's excellent ISO capabilities, good light sensitives (1.5EV more than others), low shutter lag, extensive controls and good auto focus. Plus a good fast lens.

I'm mainly shooting sports and in low light. Is this the ideal camera for me? Or are there cheaper ones that are "easier" to use and still have the d700 capabilities?
