In a press release recently, Nikon announced that they were going to start focusing on striking a better balance between ISO performance of their DSLRs and megapixel counts. This makes me a little sad. I’ve been lusting after a D700 for some time and this raises the question: is Nikon going to sacrifice some ISO performance for higher megapixel count?

I hope they leave the ISO sensitivity alone. I really want the D700, or it’s replacement, for two things – it’s full frame sensor and the insane usable ISO levels. I’m not concerned with megapixels.
