  • Abstract:  Nikon owners' and serious photographers' prayers have at last been answered. The Nikon D700 is the second model from the company to feature a full frame sensor, and at a vastly reduced price to the flagship Nikon D3. Coming in at £2000, the camera is a so...

  • Abstract:  Theres no point in beating around the bush - the Nikon D700 goes straight for the jugular; its a beast of a camera. There are very few downsides, except perhaps for that hefty £2000 body only price tag. Sounds expensive, but in perspective its among...

  • Full-frame sensor with superb high ISO quality, Tough build and great ergonomics, Quick 51-point AF and 5fps shooting, 3in VGA screen with Live View.
  • High price premium of full-frame sensor, No Live Histogram in Live View, Anti-dust not particularly effective in our tests, PC control and RAW software not bundled.
  • Nikon has been very cunning with the feature-set of the D700, taking the key specifications of the D3, and only leaving those which would affect a small and generally pro audience – who probably already have a D3 anyway. So by keeping the core image...

  • Abstract:  Nikon Today announced their first "affordable" full frame DSLR, the Nikon D700. In some ways its similar to the Canon EOS 5D which was introduced 4 years ago, but it adds a lot of new technology. The Nikon D700 is a full frame 12MP DSLR with a CMO...

  • Our Take The announcement of the D700 fills a huge hole in the Nikon model lineup. The $5000 full-frame D3 and $1800 crop-sensor D300 have both been extremely well-received. However, there was nothing in-between, and the D700 fills that void nicely. As...

  • Abstract:  Preview based on a pre-production Nikon D700 The introduction of Nikons new D700 may been one of the worst kept secrets in an industry with more leaks than the Titanic, but it was still something of a surprise coming so hot on the heels of the D3 and...

  Published: 2008-07-01, review by: Kenrockwell.com

  • Abstract:  The Nikon D700 is Nikons top new amateur camera. Its mostly a D300 with the larger FX sensor of the D3. Thus it has image quality mostly identical to the D3, but D300-class handling, which is a notch or two below the D3 for sports and action. The Ni...

  • Abstract:  Nikon D700 The What and The Why The What The Nikon D700, announced on 1 July, 08, and scheduled to ship by the end of this month, is a bit of a shocker, and indicative of a new, much more aggressive Nikon than we have been accustomed to during this d...

  • Abstract:  NIKON D700 REVIEW The never ending game of engineering and marketing "chess" between the top digital single-lens-reflex manufacturers can now add a King, Queen and Crown Prince line-up from Nikon. The king would be the Nikon D3, while the prince can be...
