  • Abstract:  Getting those images is challenging enough with learning how to use a new camera and thumbing through the manual to find out what this term and that term means. Many of them were totally unfamiliar to this old film winder. Then I got the book. The boo...

  • No camera can ever be all things to all people, but from the currently available selection, the D700 is about as close as it gets. Nikon has successfully taken the best elements from its recent releases and combined them into one serious, sturdy, featu...

  • Abstract:  So for you it may be an interesting decision. The option to save a few hundred bucks and get a smidge less noise at high ISO is surely attractive. Either way, you've got an absolutely amazing camera. I would imagine most people..

  • Abstract:  At the time I called the D300 a smaller version of the D3, but the Nikon D700 s really worthy of that name. This is an honor indeed because the professional Nikon D3 is a fabulous DSLR camera. In any case, until the D3x was introduced, it was Canons t...

  • Nikon, you did good with the D700. You bit the bullet and surely hurt your D3 sales to fill a thriving niche market. Thanks for chilling out on the megapixels and giving us something reasonable (in megapixels and price) with which to work. I hope th...

  • Excellent photo quality as high as ISO 6,400; fast focus and shooting, even in low light; first-rate build quality and control layout.
  • Relatively heavy; low resolution for its class; viewfinder only provides 95 percent coverage and lacks interchangeable focusing screens; occasional issues with automatic white balance under artificial light.
  • As long as dont need seriously high-resolution photos, video capture, or machine-gun-fast sports shooting, the Nikon D700 has everything you need in a pro full-frame camera for a reasonable price. Specifications: Digital camera type: SLR; Resolution: ...

  • Its hard not to like the Nikon D700. It offers a full frame sensor, stunning photo quality, and blazing fast performance -- just like the much more expensive D3 -- all in a body not much larger than the D300. Theres very little to complain about here...

  • The Nikon D700 is blisteringly fast and capture incredible results in near darkness. You get a choice of uncompressed TIFF as well as JPEG or Raw files, making the Nikon D700 a solid ‘best of both worlds’ compromise between D300 and D3 models. But bew...
