Nikon D700 (body only)

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 don't 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.

And, of course, if you want the movie capture, your full-frame options are limited to the 5D Mark II at the moment. (For guidance on where the D700 fits in with the D300 and D3, see Nikon Nirvana: Which Nikon dSLR?) Otherwise, the D700 is a...

Nikon D700

If you're a pro, or an advanced amateur with a big budget, you definitely need to give the D700 a test drive. The marriage of the large sensor and compact body puts this camera head and shoulders above the competition, and it's got all of the ...

Nikon D700 Review

By Mike Perlman

It's a veritable treasure chest for the advanced photographer, in addition to a high ISO champ. Read our comprehensive Nikon D700 review here, complete with several image samples.

Excellent high ISO performance. Extensive interface and features. Rugged, durable body. Compatible with many accessories and all FX and DX lenses

DX lenses bring on the crop factor. Zooming in Playback gets pixilated. Viewfinder coverage is only 95

In that respect, we advise you to take heed regarding the Nikon D700's portability factor. This is not your typical medium-weight DSLR. We're dealing with a 35mm full-frame monster that weighed close to six pounds with the included AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm ...

Nikon D700 Billboard wins the prospective buyers heart

By gary

Putting some passion into their work, Nikon have come out with some rather cool promotional billboards to woo buyers into getting their new D700 phone in Korea. The idea was pretty simple. The billboard had a picture of paparazzi scuffling over one ...

Nikon D700

By Bruce Coker

If you're looking for a serious DSLR camera, the Nikon D700 deserves your attention. This awesome camera is loaded with features that will help you take some of the best pictures you've ever seen.

The new model also represents Nikon's first direct competition for Canon's EOS 5D, which has had the "prosumer" full-frame sensor market more or less to itself for over three years. Perhaps this explains Canon's slowness to provide an upgrade, but ...

Nikon D700 Review

By Jeff Keller

The D700 ($2999, body only) is Nikon's midrange, full-frame digital SLR. It takes everything that's great about the $4500 D3, and puts it into a midsize body that's not much larger than the D300. The D700's main competitors include the new Canon EOS ...

Excellent photo quality with a quality lens ; Out of this world high ISO performance ; Full frame sensor means no crop factor to deal with (unless you're using a DX-format lens) ; Dust reduction system ; Built like a brick ; Large, super high ...

Tendency to slightly overexpose ; Corner blurriness a big problem with kit lens ; Considerable drop in resolution with DX-format lenses ; Poor RAW image editing software included ; better RAW editor and remote capture software cost extra ; Slow ...

Like all D-SLRs, there's no memory card in the D700's box, so you'll need to pick one up (if you don't have one already). The D700 uses CompactFlash cards (Type I only), and I'd recommend a 2GB card to start with. The camera supports UDMA cards, so if ...

Nikon D700 DSLR Camera

The Nikon D700 DSLR is a bit larger and heavier but the camera is not too heavy. It can easily be balanced with heavy lenses like the EF 12-24 mm f/2.8 lens. If
