I recently bought a Nikon D700 after many years of shooting with Fuji.
My first impressions after two weeks of using the new camera:
Pro:
-much better focussing; better than my Fuji S5's and more reliable
-much faster, although it isn't important to me.
-A lot more images; in RAW the Fuji could master 78 images on a 2GB card; the Nikon at least about 130, although both use 12 mpx.
-not important to me, but better built quality.
-extremely good low in light, even at ISO 3200 I get usable images.
-it is sharper than the Fuji, due to a less agressive filter. Really 12 mpx, compared to the about 8,5 mpx in reality of Fuji.
Con:
-the colour is really bad, at least compared to my Fuji. It needs a lot of tweaking in Lightroom. Even my D90 is slightly better. Especialy the skin tones leave a lot to be desired, both in the studio as outside.
-less latitude; a brides dress will burn out where the Fuji still does the job.
My conclusion: in the studio I 'll use the Fuji and for portraits outdoors of single or two persons . When the group gets larger I will prefer the D700. At weddings the Fuji for the formal shots and for indoors or low light shooting the D700.
I've got only one problem: I've got too many cameras right now and it is hard to decide which one will have to go: one of my two Fuji cameras or the D90. ;-)
