Buy a second hand D700 and wait until Nikon properly replace it and get their act sorted out.

If he doesn't like the D800, he wont like the D700. Build quality is very similar. I find them both to be of excellent build quality.

Seems to me that if the OP likes the D200 better than the D800, then he doesn't agree.

What bothers me most about camerashy's reply is that he seems to think that the D800 is not the "proper" D700 replacement.  First, like it or not, the D800 is the D700 replacement.  Second, even if Nikon came out with a 12-16 MP camera with the same fps, body size, and viewfinder as the D700, it would still have the same build quality as the D800 -- so he hasn't addressed the OP's question and has just used the question as an excuse to gripe that he isn't getting exactly what he wants from Nikon.
