it´s not full frame thought, that´s the biggest difference between 35mm format and APS-C format.
most of the Nikon lens would be a tad useless on a cropped sensor camera, plus an F5 can be found for less than 200 quid, very cheap compared to a D700 digital.
hell, I got my Canon 1n for 150 quid, far cheaper than a 1D.
he could get away with a D300 if he does not need full frame, or save his coins and wait for the January/ rescission sale of a D3 (this is my plan)
