there's 3rd party one such as phottix BG-D3100

Added on June 9, 2011, 10:04 amjust went searching around the lowyat garage sales... haizzz.. still no money to buy lens D:

if faster focus, better noise control, more focus points, 1080p movies, better batt life, part magnesium alloy body...still got somemore...and if all that means d7000 is same lvl as d90...then i guess so

cos they think got semi-pro tag its an upgrade.
like that go D2x also upgrade right?

actually is upgrade, but then i feel worth if save more bucks and go straight to D700 

how come no one making thier one bokeh kits? i need some help !!!:X

- so do you mean i should get D3100 if i wan upgrade from D70s?  (lol i also wonder why most of the people will recommended D90 jump to D700 instead of D7000... because more pro body?? )

DIY BOKEH KITS to create creative bokeh effect
mr chin quoted me for 720 last week

You sure the D3100 gives better quality of the D2X?  Perhaps marginally as I've seen great photos from the D2X when you don't go over ISO 800.

If I was given between a D3100 and a D2X to choose, I would take the D2X pro body anytime. The handling ergonomics and the sure focusing AF system is enough to get you addicted to pro bodies. That's me lah.
The thing is people are still using DX bodies if they need reach. Period. That is why I still keep my D300.

Wildlife photographers in general usually use DX bodies like D300/D300s for reach and for more pixel density if they want to crop but for pros that have all the required glasses to give them the required reach, they will reach for their D3/D3s/D700 especially when low light performance is required.
At the end of the day, it depends on what the person wants. If you want lightweight, the D7000 is nice.

If I were to choose between a DX body like the D7000 or a FX body like a D700, I would take the D700 because of these 4 things in their particular order;

1. Better subject isolation on the D700
2. Better focusing system on the D700
3. Overall better shadow noise even at lower ISOs on the D700
4. Better handling and feel on the D700 in my hands (I don't mind the heavy weight)

The only considerations that *might* sway me away from the D700 to the D7000 are as follows;

1. Higher MP on the D7000
2. 1080p video on the D7000
3. Lighter on the D7000
If you're speaking purely from D70s to D3100, then your arguments are correct.
FX wide angles lenses are EXPENSIVE. It is far cheaper to use DX bodies with DX wide angles to get wide angles. But quality wise, it seems that only FX lenses are the way to go.
It was correct when the D3/D3s and D700 were launced. But after the D7000 came out, those advantages of the FX system were not so obvious anymore. Not saying that the D7000 is better but the gap between DX and FX is much closer with FX still having the edge.

Errr, what do I think? 

If you do lots of low light shooting and appreciate subject isolations, the FX is the body to get. Saying that dos not mean with DX you get nothing. With DX, you can still do low light and portraiture with the correct lenses and it's cheaper too. The newer DX bodies somehow brings the gap to FX closer. 
Don't be pressured or forced into thinking that owning a DSLR, you must take good pics. Money is yours and if you enjoy using a DSLR taking ordinary pics, so be it. You can ask opinions and weigh on it yourself what you need and don't need. At the end of the day, the money is yours and I feel that the main important thing is that you enjoy and get satisfaction from your hobby. Don't let other people decide how you should enjoy your hobby.
I think one needs to differentiate between weather sealed and water proof. In the industry I work with, you have what you call IP (ingress protection) rating for equipment enclosures. Have a look here;

So while the camera / lens can be rated to resist water droplets, dust can still enter.
It's good to find out what old lenses you still have...

For a good knowledge on what works and what does not, have a look at the link below;
