the "problem" now i have 3 systems. my olympus mirroless main system with good lenses. the fuji s5 with the tamron 17-50 and the nikon 50mm and the nikon d700 (will arrive soon) the only lens will be fit to the d700 at the moment is the 50mm . the good news is that systems can work together. for example in photoshoot taking both cameras with me. the bad news is that i dont have a very " strong" camera ideal for everything.

I don't think there is such thing as a 'do it all', 'strong' camera. Unless you could have an 'interchangeable sensor camera'(ISC) and change sensors like rolls of film! In my opinion having 3 cameras and practically 3 systems is too much. D700 is a better camera and a better value - you can sell it faster for a good price in the future, so it is a good choice if you think of selling it later - but Fuji takes nicer photos, if you want a camera for yourself I'd keep the Fuji (its value is not very good now and it will be worse in the future if you think of selling it). So I think you should choose between these two cameras according to what you want now and in the future. Having so many brands and models to choose from can be very frustrating - you don't know what to choose so if you find something that you like just go for it and don't look back or think :'What if this or that could be better...' This is something called GAS and it's very dangerous!:-)
