Congrats, you will LOVE it. A year later I still hear, "Everything She Does is Magic" in my head when I use it.I almost forgot how to use my speedlight because I rarely use it anymore.
I really can't wait to take her to Disney in August. What lens do you use most with yours? I really am thinking the 24-70 and 50 1.4 are going to be my most used.
Those are my two go to lenses and probably spend even time on my camera. This winter the 50 is on inside most but during the summer I have no issues using the 24-70. (Don't be afraid to pump up that ISO!) They were perfect for Disneyland a couple weeks ago. I did some handheld night shots with no problem at all. I love the "scenic" feel of the 24 end at Disney, it just gave my pics a little more somethin' somethin'. I had to fairly wrestle it away from two Photo Pass guys who actually knew what they were holding. The one later passed me as I was shooting the parade and asked when I was going to give him "his camera" back.
I'll post a couple pics if you want.

eta: The D700 and 24-70 is a heavy combo. I used a LowePro Sport 200 back pack to haul it around. Super easy to swing around and pull my camera out.
Aww, thank you!I love them! I really can't wait for the boy to get here today. I was happy to find a place that had it in stock (and not have to pay tax!). I can't believe it's coming so quickly. Maybe I'll play hooky from work tomorrow.
PS- Your DD is beautiful!
It's hard to get a genuine smile out of her but somehow in Disneyland it was easy.
I about lost my mind waiting for the battery to charge. Have fun with it and post some pics soon!
Aww, thank you!
The day I got my D700 I stalked the tracking and scared the crap out of the Fed Ex guy by flinging the door open as he was about to knock.
My DD is the perfect muse. Every time she sees the camera she puts on her biggest cheesey smile.
Thanks Chris!
Woo hoo!!!I heard angels sing when I held it in my hands this morning. It does things with my 50mm 1.4 that I never dreamed of with my D60! Now I just need to get accustomed to where the new control buttons are.
Thanks Chris!
Woo hoo!!!
I still hear angels sing when I use mine. It's a stellar piece of equipment.
