I have never looked through a full frame before. Always on a 1.5X crop camera. Lol good to stick head in ground sometimes. Dun see something better won't get tempted easily.

If you shoot sports with tele lenses, DX is better;
if you shoot ultrawide angle, FX is better;
if you shoot portraits, FX is better;
if you travel light, DX is better;
if you shoot general, DX is cheaper...
Just like medium format and 135, both formats will probably coexist for some time to come.
You could use a longer lens for the same angle of view -> better bokeh and background compression and less distortion. Why do you think many people prefer using medium format for portraiture? ;p
Not when using the same lens. Using the same lens would only give you a wider angle of view. FX allows you to use a longer lens to achieve the same angle of view, so you get the benefits of a longer lens like background compression and shallower DoF for the same aperture.

To add on, if you shoot macro (insect) or birds, DX is better.
Better to just eat the bacteria in the air like the whales do the planktons. ;p
FX -> expensive lenses!
Yup. Astro too.. FX= heavier body will load the equatorial drive on telescope mounts more... ;p

This D700 is still a touch too much for me...
I'll stick with my D70(S instead of 0) for the time being but make the switch when FX sensor prices normalise and filters through to the masses. Then, a light-weight MIT FX equivalent will hit the street... good for travels.
While it's true than the FX sensor outresolves many existing lenses, I bite it (D3, D700, etc) if my wants "outresolves :bsmilie: my needs.
Needs and wants are very personal... affordability is one thing; dreaming of owning one is another. It's all relative.
Not everyone needs a fast car to run around a traffic-lights laden city like our city; I don't mind having a Ferrari.
Not everyone needs luxurious living / lifestyle; give me Sentosa Cove anytime.
Do I really need FX? No. Would I really like one? Yes.
Overall, the D700 must be more good news than bad.
For the time being, I'll make do with these sample images:
