I've never heard the D700 is "horrible" for sports. 5 FPS with the standard batteries is OK, but not stellar. The D300 shoots 6 and the D300s shoots 7. But upgrade either the D300 or the D700 to the EN-EL4 batteries, and they'll both shoot 8 FPS. 8 is pretty good for sports. Of course, the D3s will shoot 9 FPS in FF 14bit mode, while it will blister along at 11 FPS in DX mode. From what you describe, it is more about the buffer filling up and the cards not being able to keep up with write speeds. Superfast CF cards can help alleviate that, but how many files do you really need in a burst?
If I could get a D3s, I'd jump on it a second! But the price tag is just too steep for a guy that doesn't use his gear to make any money.....

Makes sense. I feel you on the cost thing too. Guess I will stick to getting the 300s.
