D700 - What did i miss?

This is precisely what I'm talking about, Tony.  There is no need for interpretation or construing anything. My statement simply isn't that hard to figure out.

As expected, you didn't answer my simple question about the d4 and d800, which goes right to the heart of the matter.  The d4 vs d800 question is no different than the d700 vs d800.  That question doesn't require 12 pages of point/counterpoint. I am a simple guy and I can get along with the rest of the world, with my simple statements, without any problems.  This is the only place where people normally and routinely get upset about innocent, simplistic statements about their cameras, like you're making obscene, negative comments about their mother or children or something.

If you feel the need to disagree or dissect something that I've said, then just say whatever it is that you've got to say.  If I then feel the need to formulate a rebuttal, I'll do so, but mostly I'd rather not get embroiled in some silly debate over minutiae or semantics.

I'm only posting this stuff because I'd much rather get along with you than not.  But, YMMV.

thanks

Kerry
