Yeah, the D200 and D70s are doing great for me. But i'm gonna give the D200 to the old man since his Sony N-2 is kinda lame. And it'll be a cool father and son thing i can do with him, teaching him about photography and just chillind with him.
My only complaint about the D300 is that it's slightly bigger than the D200, my D200 fits perfectly into a little bag i have with the 17-55 where as the D300 with the 17-55 is just a few mm too big... bah.

Whilst i definintely agree a smaller 5D ish body would not be on the cards for a while, i'll disagree with the market comment. If anything, the 5D is showing there is definitnely a demand for a high performance FX camera without the bells and whistles of the top end cams.
The main factor here that i think both of us agree on is time. It's simply not the right moment after introducing two top end cameras. But Nikon will have another FX camera in the works.
If the Sigma DP1 is an early indication, it may mean the pushing of APS-C sensor into compact digis too, what i'm saying is that the market placement of products shifts. Whilst APS-C DSLRs will not doubt still be the vast majority, we'll see ethusiasts such as ourselves demand FX cameras for the obvious improvements they do have over APS-C.
But again, it's a matter of time, what i'm descrbing needs a key ingredient... cheaper manfacturing processes. Unless that happens, the supply side may stagnant... but demand for improved quality will still be there. Of course that doesn not necessarily mean FX, it could mean new and improved APS-C sensors.
