The D700 and D300S are now officially discontinued: http://www.nikon-image.com/products/discontinue/camera/#h301
Of course that is widly expected as Nikon can no longer sell EN-EL3e-battery-based products in Japan due to new safety regulations. (However, the battery itself is not discontinued.) See this thread: http://photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00Zeyx
As I have mentioned a couple of times, when production resumes at Nikon Thailand's factory (at the same or other locations), I wouldn't expect them to produce any more D300S. However, no replacement for either the D700 or the D300S has been announced at this point, although both are expected in the coming months.
Interestingly, the D3S is not yet listed as discontinued although the D4 is clearly its replacement.

They have both lived long and useful lives. It will be very interesting to meet their replacements when the time arrives.

I wonder how this will affect the D700 prices on the used market. It is still a superb camera.

and the release of D800 apparently imminent on 7th Feb. Must scrape all my nickels and dimes to buy the heavily discounted D700 (if they are still available :)

I really doubt the d700 will be *heavily* discounted. I say no less than 2k...
Leslie Cheung , Jan 29, 2012; 01:08 p.m.
Or they could be heavily discounted and sell out rather quick:)

We really don't know what will be announced, if anything, on Feb. 7. Two weeks ago they were saying Feb. 6. As for prices of used D700, so far no DSLR has resisted the force of gravity once a new model replaces it. It is of course inevitable that D300s and D700 will be replaced. I would bet at least the D300s would have been replaced last fall if it weren't for the disruptions.

Wow! You guys can read Japanese?
Leslie Cheung , Jan 29, 2012; 01:44 p.m.
My comments are assuming that there's a new model. I don't really follow any nikon rumors...

Again this is a discontinuation in the Japanese market; it seems Nikon was caught somewhat off guard about the battery situation since they don't appear to have the replacements ready. Otherwise, a normal sequence would be simply to announce the new products and discontinue the old ones when stock is depleted.
