Lots of speculation about that in the Nikon fora. My guess: D800 will debut at around $3000 and stay at or near that price for all of 2012. In 2013, it will begin to come down to around $2500, and at that point a lot of D700 owners will jump in, sell their D700s, and you'll see the D700 going for around $1500-1700 used.
So, my guess means "
you'll probably have to wait until 2013 to easily get a 'deal' on a used D700."
Meantime, enjoy your K-5 - it's a very nice camera in it's own right
