Abstract: The D700 raises some interesting questions about the future of the D-SLR class. Just how many megapxiels do you need to achieve very good image quality at a large print size? And does 12.1 (effective) megapixels in a full-frame sensor stand up against ...
Abstract: Praise Nikon for including an effective, built-in sensor cleaning system (something which is missing from the D3). Higher marks still to Nikon for including a customizable My Menu feature. Its easy to select any number of frequently used menu items an...
Abstract: A few weeks back, I went ahead and bought the new Nikon D700, but I really wanted to spend some time with it, and shoot in a number of different situations and scenarios, before I gave you my review. Now that I have a few thousands shots on it, I’...
Combines the “full-frame” low-noise performance of the D3 with the rugged portability of the D300; small, sturdy build feels like an F100 film camera; more accurate skintones from D3; fast and accurate autofocus system; comes with in-camera se...
Flimsy, plastic CF card door doesn’t lock; only 5fps speed without battery grip; helpful Active D-Lighting feature bogs down buffer.
No DX masking, very minor handling issues, Capture NX 2 only a trial
Nikon has played a smart card with the D700, where professional credentials meet affordability. For professionals in particular the camera is ideal as a backup body, while the enthusiast will be spoiled by both its performance in a variety of situation...
Abstract: The Nikon D700 and its big brother, the D3, allow you to take available light pictures in near darkness, with remarkably little image noise. This is not a subtle enhancement: it opens the door to new photographic possibilities. While the most spectac...
Its practically impossible to review the Nikon D700 as a standalone camera, so many features and functions harking back to the earlier D300, the D3, or both. Its inevitable perhaps that it doesnt quite have the initial impact on the senses of its t...
Exceptional high ISO performance, Great image quality, Solid construction, Allaround high performance,
Viewfinder only 95 percent, Shorter shutter duty cycle, AF times out a hair slower than the D3, but performs comparably in the real world,
When the D700 was finally unveiled, the similarities between it and the D3 were many and obvious – it literally appeared as if Nikon had largely transported a D3 into a D300 body. After having shot the D700 for a week and the D3 since January 2008, tha...
Rugged construction with magnesium alloy body and full environmental sealing, Gorgeous, high-resolution 3-inch LCD, Fast 5 fps continuous shooting, with a deep buffer, Optional battery grip improves performance to 8 fps, High resolution with excellent ...
51-point Auto-area AF mode a bit slow for a camera of this caliber, JPEGs are a little soft straight from the camera, but respond well to post-processing, Auto white balance handles incandescent lighting poorly, Deep menu system (but hey, with so many ...
Nikon has done it again, producing a market-leading digital SLR that sets a new standard for image quality and ISO performance. Stacked up against its nearest competitor, the three-year-old Canon 5D, the Nikon D700 wins in high ISO performance and over...
