 Best Nikon for the near professional October 6, 2008

This is a wonderful camera. With quick startup, solid focusing, excellent exposure control. The fast speed allows the "existing light" photography so enjoyed the fast film camera days. While the D700 has controls for everything conceivable it is easier to select these features than it is with lesser Nikons. If you feel your digital photos are important then consider the quality the D700 offers.
 A 5.38 megapixel DX Camera? October 4, 2008
Mensa (Marlboro, NJ USA)

Page 59 of my D700 manual asserts that whenever a DX lens is attached, auto crop is turned-on; the FX image area of (36x24mm) drops down to a DX (24x16mm). This is an area ratio of 0.44. So, with a DX lens attached, I now only have a 0.44 x 12.1 megapixels = 5.38 megapixels camera?! Am I better off with a D300 or should I sell all my DX lenses, hmmn? I can't wait until all this transitional technology shakes itself out.

Awesome dynamic range and low light capability! September 22, 2008

I purchased the Nikon D700 about three weeks ago now and it is an awesome camera. My previous frame of reference is my four year old Canon 20D and the D700 beats the Canon on every front. The added dynamic range of the Nikon's full-frame sensor means most photos are well exposed - including the sky and shadows. Often only minor adjustments are required post camera (I use Lightroom 2). I've also found that the autofocus on the Nikon D700 is light years ahead of the Canon. Focusing is not a problem. Then there is the low light performance of the Nikon D700. Wow! Indoor photography without flash is now possible. I purchased my D700 in a kit with Nikon's 24-120 mm zoom lense with vibration reduction. The vibration reduction combined with the ability to shoot at higher ISO settings means photos of moving subjects can be shot at higher shutter speeds - resulting in less blur. Overall, I am very satisfied with the D700.
Awesome camera September 21, 2008

I'm upgrading from a D200. By comparison, the low light capability is outstanding and the image quality is even better. Highly recommended. I didn't sell my first born for the D700 but it would be arguably worth it. :)
 JUNK September 18, 2008

I have taken photographs for more than 30 years and have used a D3 for the past 8 months after using a D2hs for several years.
I had the opportunity to use a D700 today. A friend had purchased this camera and I was helping her get acquainted with its functions.
I must say, I was VERY disappointed. Its playback function is inferior when reviewing shots, and its overall ease of use just doesn't compare to the D3. Now, I agree it shouldn't be as good as the D3, its a 1500 or 1600 $s cheaper than the D3, but for $3000, I expected more of a professional model; It isn't. I could give a couple thousand words and introduce issue after issue that I have with this camera, but what for?
Let me just say, don't buy the D700 thinking you are getting a professional type of camera, you aren't. Don't get the D700 thinking you are getting anything but what you are getting: a VERY cheap, inferior version of the D3.
I'll let others proclaim this cameras greatness, but for me. . .its junk.
Sorry
In response to Jun Shikano, (Japan), your response is nonsensical and delusional. To say, infer or boast that the performance of the 700 is on par with the 3 is just laughable. It's like saying the Volkswagon Beetle's performance is on par with a S-class Mercedes. . . I don't want to break the bubble of delusion you have surrounded yourself with, concerning your inferior DSL, but I will since you have basically lied about the comparison.
The 700 is a good camera if you are a rank amature and don't know any better, but if anyone wants consistent professional mechanics and output, they won't choose such a inferior machine. You may evan occasionally get GREAT shots with the 700, but no one is going to risk their livelihood on substandard junk-which is what the 700 is-in comparison to the 3.
I am sorry you are so delusional, but, frankly you are, IMO.
