Nikon D700 (body only) price range: $2,519.00 - $2,699.99

The good: Excellent photo quality as high as ISO 6,400; fast focus and shooting, even in low light; first-rate build quality and control layout.
The bad: 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.
The bottom line: As long as you 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.
For those who don't need the indestructibility or built-in vertical grip of a traditional pro dSLR like the Nikon D3 or the Canon EOS-1D Mark III--and that's quite a chunk of the pro market--smaller, lighter, and cheaper full-frame models like the Nikon D700 and the Canon EOS 5D and the 5D Mark II are the real workhorses. Plus, their (relatively) lower prices put full-frame shooting in the hands of deep-pocketed amateur photographers.
The D700 comes in two configurations: body only and a kit with the veteran AF-S VR 24-120mm f3.5-5.6G IF-ED lens. With the kit version you end up paying about $300 to $400 for the lens, which sells independently for about $500, but if you're paying more than $2,500 for a camera body, opting for the somewhat middling lens seems a bit penny-wise and pound foolish. On the other hand, it's relatively compact, and replacing it with something superior would probably require multiple, larger, and more expensive lenses.
Though one normally doesn't consider a weight of 2.4 pounds just for the body an asset, it comes up a lightweight compared with 3-pound-plus models like the D3 or Canon EOS-1D line. However, it's still a tad heavier than full-frame competitors like the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 (2.1 pounds) and the Canon EOS 5D series (about 1.8 pounds). The magnesium-alloy body feels like a Hummer and it's better sealed than the D300, but it's not up to the dust and weatherproofing standards of the D3.
The body design clearly has more in common with the D300 than the D3, and is pretty Nikon-conventional. Almost all settings are adjusted via combinations of buttons and the front or rear dials. On the top left you've got the quality, white balance, and ISO buttons, plus a locked wheel that selects among drive modes (single shot, continuous low, and continuous high), Live View, self timer, and mirror lock-up. This does make Live View operation a bit clunkier than it needs to be; newer models have a dedicated button for popping into the mode, which makes it faster and a bit easier to use. On the top right, the power switch surrounds the shutter release, plus there are buttons for exposure compensation and exposure mode selection (PASM). Nikon provides a traditional status LCD, which displays slightly different information than the viewfinder: it doesn't show metering mode or ISO speed.
On the front left side of the body sits a switch for focus mode (single, continuous, and manual), flash pop-up and compensation buttons, and ports for a wired remote and flash sync cable. There's a programmable function button between the grip and the lens that you press with your right-hand ring finger; you can assign it from a variety of options, but my favorite is probably the virtual horizon, which uses the exposure compensation readout to display off-horizontal tilt. You can also reassign the depth-of-field preview button, which sits higher between the grip and the lens.
One of my favorite aspects of the D700's design--common to all Nikon's midrange and above dSLRs--is the use of switches for directly selecting metering mode (1.5 percent spot, centerweighted, evaluative) and AF area mode (single point, dynamic area, and auto area). You then use the eight-way multiselector to pick your focus point in the viewfinder. It's the same navigation control as on the D3, and while it's quite convenient, I find the switch itself--which you also use to scroll through photos and information displays during playback--just a little too jumpy when I'm moving fast. Still, it beats the alternatives.
Other controls on the back include separate AF activation and AF/AE lock buttons, as well as the usual assortment of playback, delete, info, menu, and so on. As is typical of Nikons dSLRs, the D700 has a two-button format (delete plus mode) and reset (quality plus exposure compensation).
Like the D3 and D300, the D700 provides lots of customization capabilities, including two banks of savable settings with four slots each and a user-definable menu page. As with the D300, your dynamic area options are 9-, 21-, or 51-point AF areas plus 51-point 3D tracking; also like the D300, they're unfortunately buried in the menus. I also like the ability to choose the size of the center for center-weighted average metering. (There are too many options to cover here: download the PDF manual for the details.)
The 5D Mark II, with its movie-capture mode and high-resolution 21-megapixel sensor, overshadows the D700's relatively low-resolution 12-megapixel CMOS--the same as the D3's. But its bread-and-butter feature set is more than enough for any pro. Like its Nikon siblings, it's especially suited for HDR work, with bracketing options of up to nine shots at +/- 5EV in third-, half-, or full-stop increments. Other notables include the now-common Picture Controls for adjusting and saving contrast, brightness, sharpness, saturation, and hue; Active D-Lighting; Vignette control; a rather annoying multiple exposure option, which resets to Off after every batch and requires a trip into the menu system to turn back on; and raw file options of 12- or 14-bit with lossy compressed, lossless compressed, and uncompressed variations. Like the D3, the D700 has a DX crop mode to match DX lenses.
As long as you don't need pro-sports-speed continuous-shooting performance, the D700 is quite fast--just a bit slower than the D3 on occasion. From power on to first shot takes less than 0.2 second. To autofocus and shoot in good light takes 0.3 second, and in dim light only 0.6; shared with the D3, that's class-leading performance. Two sequential shots take about 0.5 second, even with flash, like the D300. The one aspect that the D700 cedes to the competition is its 4.9fps burst rate, though it's more than adequate for most situations. If necessary, you can spring for the MB-D10 battery grip--it uses many of the same accessories as the D300--to bump that to a rated 8fps, which essentially turns the camera into an almost-D3.
Furthermore, with the same AF system as the D300, the D700 delivers fast, accurate focus, even in low light. Disappointingly, though, the viewfinder delivers only 95 percent coverage; this is odd, given that both the D3 and D300 both provide 100 percent visibility. The D700 also lacks interchangeable focusing screens, which many of its competitors offer.
Unsurprisingly, the D700 delivers great photo quality. With a really good lens the photos are very sharp, and the camera renders excellent exposures and a broad dynamic range. Both visually and by the numbers it exhibits first-rate color accuracy, though it seems to have somewhat glitchy automatic white balance under tungsten lights. It has a robust noise profile as well: photos show no degradation until about ISO 6,400, and are still quite usable at ISO 6,400 and ISO 12,800, depending upon subject matter. As for ISO 25,600, they're not as bad as the Canon EOS 50D's at that level, but it's very much an emergency-only option. (Click through the slide show for photo samples and commentary.)
The only possibly significant drawback to the Nikon D700 is its resolution; if you ascribe to the no-scaling school of printing, then the largest 300 dpi print you can get out of its 12-megapixel files is a 14.2x9.4, and moving up to 11x16 requires 15.8 megapixels (though on an Epson at 240dpi you can cover 11x16 at 12 megapixels). Also, at that resolution, its prime competitor is the veteran and now less expensive Canon EOS 5D (so old we don't have comparative performance data for it), which is still widely available despite being dropped from Canon's official product line. Compared with the 5D, the D700 has greater latitude, a better AF system, and a more modern feature set. On the other hand, Canon arguably has a more comprehensive full-frame lens lineup with more options at midrange prices. 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 great full-frame camera for professionals and prosumers.

Finally, my (nearly) perfect camera
by Cliff3 on February 2, 2009
Pros: Brilliant sensor performance, perfect size and handling
Cons: 95% viewfinder

Summary: I recently switched from the D2x I've been shooting with for the past 4 years to the D700. The D700 product announcement caught me by surprise last summer as I thought I had another 6 months to a year before seeing this product released. I had replaced my sole DX lens, a 17-55 f2.8, with a 14-24 f2.8 and a 24-70 f2.8 in the spring of 2008, so at least I was ready for the change to FX format cameras.
I have had the camera for a few weeks now, and I am truly pleased with it. High ISO performance is brilliant. I took the camera out to a museum where the challenging lighting conditions have gotten the better of my D2x on past visits. The D700 captured flawless images at 1600 and even 3200 ISO at this venue.
The benchmarks all say that the color acuity and dynamic range of this sensor place it at the pinnacle of what is available in the market right now. My eyes can't argue with those assessments - this camera is in a completely different league from my D2x.
The size of the camera is perfect. Traveling or hiking with a body like the D2x is tough. It's big, square, and heavy. The D700 is the perfect size for my purposes. My camera bags have all gotten larger again - but for all the f2.8 glass I pack them with, anyway....
I am still getting accustomed to some of the new features in this camera. Live view hasn't been of much value to me yet, while the virtual horizon feature is a tremendous convenience. Using the on board flash to control external flashes works perfectly, although the D700 is limited to controlling 2 groups of flashes compared to the 3 that the SB-800 can control as a commander. I do miss having a 100 percent viewfinder. I have not yet been in a shooting situation that would tax the autofocus system of the new camera.
I wish I could understand why some reviewers lament the absence of features in this camera that are present in the D3. If you need a vertical grip, if you need a high frame rate, a choice exists - it's called the D3. Me, I have no plans of sticking a battery pack on this camera - it's just right like it is.4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Solid, qualtiy, versatile workhorse!
by carlweiderick on December 27, 2008
Pros: Large sensor provides high quality images with low noise at high ISOs. Solid body facilitates holding camera steady with longer lenses. Logically laid out contols, easy to use. Relatively powerful built in flash not usually found on pro level models.
Cons: LCD screen is fixed and so doesn't have variable angles. 'In body' anti-shake would allow for use of that feature with more lenses.
Summary: Breathtakingly high quality images which can be cropped and enlarged significantly. High ISOs are very usable providing truly excellent results. It seems that additional megapixels would be of little 'real ...
Summary: Breathtakingly high quality images which can be cropped and enlarged significantly. High ISOs are very usable providing truly excellent results. It seems that additional megapixels would be of little 'real world' use. Peerless solid, quality, weatherproof build. Very balanced feel providing familiar SLR feel to experienced film photographers. Available battery attachment extends battery life, provides use of various battery types including 'AA' and is detachable when size and weight are a concern. Attachment has duplicate controls for shutter etc., useful for vertical hold. Very fast startup time and autofocus with almost no shutter lag. Extremely versatile with a multitude of intuitive features and controls and solid feel. Good built in flash. Bright high resolutionm useable LCD screen with 'Live View' mode. Bright viewfinder with excellent, usable information. Incredible array of available accessories common to Nikon. Low price for a professional level camera. 'In body' anti-shake' would allow for use with more lenses. Variable angle LCD screen would be useful but these are the only possible improvements that I could perceive. More megapixels might always be desired but the photographic results obtained might question the necessity plus other issues such as noise might become a problem. Truly an outstanding photographic tool. Well designed, high quality and versatile capable of providing spectacular, awesome results! If you like a full sized, solid, heavy camera (which means it can probably withstand some abuse), this camera does it all!

Excellent camera with tons of pro features
by thanhuy on August 25, 2008
Pros: High ISO, excellent ergonomic, LCD, fast AF, color accuracy and exposure

Summary: My first DSLR was D200 and I though it was excellent camera and never though a need to upgrade but then D300 came along with so much to offer compare to D200 especially AF and tracking system that I usually missed target with my D200 not all the time but still see a different between the two systems but what I still need so badly was a full frame camera because I invested a lot in full frame lenses then D3 came out pretty much the same time as D300 but the price tag is so over that I could't afford. Photography is just my hobby so I upgrade to D300 and all sudden from out of no where Nikon announced D700 after I've been with D300 for less than 7 months. Well, I can't wait any longer so I went ahead get D700 just few weeks ago and I just want to say... Man! What an excellent camera. Now I can go to concert and still stop the action without using flash or worry about noise on my photos, I can crank it up to ISO 6400 so I am able to maintain my shutter speed above 1/100. One good thing about my D700 now is that I don't have to worry about the factor conversion although, I still have my D300 for Macro and wildlife because of its pixels density. I use my D700 for landscape and portraits... D700 respond to exposure much accurate than my D300 tends to overexpose a bit and also seems to over saturated when shooting with vivid mode but not with D700.

Top of the line imaging for less!
by reeltime on August 19, 2008
Pros: Image quality, D3 tech for $2k less, perfect form factor
Cons: Pricey. USB ports covered with a flimsy plug. Capture NX 2 is only a 60-day trial version.

Summary: So what if you took a D3, and squeezed it into a form factor about the size of a D300, and knocked $2 grand off the price? You'd have a winner on your hands. And this, Nikon does.
8 months later, and this camera continues to shine. One point the CNET reviewer mistakes is that the camera is somehow hampered by lower resolution. It's this lower resolution (though 12 megapixels is large enough to shoot a billboard!) that allows the camera to have unmatched low-light performance.
The D700 features a full frame sensor, the exact same one found in their flagship D3 model. It's packaged in a camera body that's a little larger than the D300, meaning it's downright manageable. You can take this camera anywhere. If you want the handling of the D3, simply use the option MB-10 grip, and you have a full size camera. The grip actually stows a 2nd battery, which provides a faster frame-per-second rate.
Shooting? The camera is fast, and the results are like butter. It features a near-instant on fire-up speed and can shoot 8FPS with the MB attached. The camera comes bundled with Capter NX 2, but it's the trial version, which only works for 60-days. So in an era of Lightroom and Aperture, why use it at all? Because Capture NX preserves the in-camera settings on RAW files. And you'll want to take advantage of what the camera does for photos.
ISO Performance.. what's terrific about this camera is the ability to get useable shots, even at ISO 6400. There is some grain, but Capture NX pulls it right out. The FX sensor means less noise, which is a good thing. I shot a friend in almost no light at F/1.2 and the photos were striking and sharp. Having ISO 6400 available means crisp shots, even in the harshest of lighting conditions. You can now frame the shot and aperture any way you wish, and the ISO will compensate. This gives you ultimate freedom to pick your shot, aperture and shutter, and let the camera do the rest.
The D300 sized body (roughly) is actually a bit larger than the D300. It features a deeper cutout to better fit your fingers, the D300's is more rounded. But the camera unfortunately features a USB plug on the left side that pops open at will. The D3 and D300 both have a door lock on the back that pops open the access to the card slot (there's only one of these card slot on the D700. I personally don't mind not having an extra card slot. The card cover now clips open.
The viewfinder is 95% instead of 100% in the D3. And the camera shoots marginally fewer FPS. It also lacks the 2nd card slot of the D3.
The bundled Capture NX 2 software is necessary for transferring photos because it retains the camera's adjustments in RAW, whereas other software offer up poorer NEF codecs. Unfortunate that Nikon chose not to give up the full version, which is poor for a clocking in at just under $3000 dollars.
That said, what you get for $2000 less is the D3 in a better, more manageable body. Well worth the price!
Updated on Mar 13, 2009
I've found that this camera isn't as easy to use as some others, you have to work to find the sweet spot. But once you find it, the results are beyond stellar. I've shot the best images of my career with this camera, and I can't recommend this product more.
If you love low light, If you need speed, don't bother looking any further. This is the best camera in the world right now.4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

I did not think I'd like this camera - but......
by Lil Judd on February 10, 2009
Pros: Nikon's beautiful Natural colors. Super sharpness - yet that sleek look. I can use my D300 grip with it. Faster than D300 at focusing. And I find myself shooting at ISO 2000 & up without blinking an eye. I would not ever have done that before....
Cons: I miss 100% viewfinder of the D300. I've not adjusted my framing yet.
Focus sensor dots should be more spread out. I don't know why Nikon insisted on going to Canon's idea. 51 focusing points is great - but I'd like them spread out wider please...Summary: Bottom line is that I don't regret spending the money on this camera. I was a D3x - but I can't afford it & that's unrealistic as ...
Summary: Bottom line is that I don't regret spending the money on this camera. I was a D3x - but I can't afford it & that's unrealistic as an amateur to do.
Yes, I'd like to see some more MP - but I have the exact same sensor as those with the Pro D3 so I'm not complaining.
Bottom line is this -
This camera has Nikon's beautiful Natural colors.
It is sharp.
It is fast.
It takes the same grip as the D300 - what a plus for me who has both.
I find myself shooting at ISO 2000 - 6400 without even thinking about it - - & I've always said I don't need High ISO........ Well well.... Fact is it is rated up to 25,600 ISO in HI 3 - just like the Pro D3 - - can't see when I'd need that, but OK it is..
I'm very happy I bought this camera - I really didn't think I'd have use for it - - I was so wrong.... It will get far more use than I ever expected....
Got to love it.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Pro Camera. Pro Features. Incredibly Detailed Images.

Pros: Capable of turning out Stunning Images, Incredible Build Quality, Great Features. Menus are well laid out. Numerous shortcuts you can create to access most used / favorite features. Metering is superb. Camera works fast and easy & does not fight you.
Cons: Not cheap to purchase and you need the best glass (lenses) made to take full advantage of the Sensor in this camera.

Summary: With 30+ years of experience in teh Film Industry, I can honestly say this is the best camera I have ever owned. I am not sure what the reviewer is smoking, but www.dxomark.com rated the sensor on this camera as one of the best they tested. In all honesty, 8 megapixels will give most people the detail they need for most applications. It is the low light capability, the dynamic range, color rendition, features, operation, capability, and overall all quality of the images made by this camera that blows me away. Of course, I am using the best glass Nikon makes but why wouldn't you use the best lenses if you owned a camera like this?
Maybe they need to get a reviewer who understands the technology behind today's digital imaging. Obviously, he is incorreect in his statement. Go to a pro photo site for more accurate and insightful reviews of this camera.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Nearly perfect.
by alanjayd on November 25, 2008
Pros: Full frame format. Light compared to D3. Quieter than previous Nikon DSLRs. Image quality is amazing.
Cons: For me these are minor faults that are necessary to keep cost, body size and weight down: 95% viewfinder, 5fps burst, no vertical grip or vertical button.
Summary: What's not to like about a body that is almost equal to a D3 for $2k less? I've only had the camera a short time but those reviewers ...
Summary: What's not to like about a body that is almost equal to a D3 for $2k less? I've only had the camera a short time but those reviewers who think 12MP isn't enough, I say are shortsighted. More megapixels does not equal better images and the files created by larger MP cameras are enormous which makes travel a problem for those who don't want to carry a lot of storage options. Nikon has given MP count considerable thought and is sending a message at this time that 12MP is the best resolution for practical professional usage.

Best high ISO camera I have ever used!!
by waking07 on June 3, 2009
Pros: Low noise at high ISO (3200). good fit and build quality. can use same battery grip as my D300. also can now use to full effect my Nikon lenes from my film days along with my DX lenes.
Cons: As a advance ametuer none that I can think of.
Summary: Having used the D300 for over a year it was not difficult to adjust to the D700's controls. I shoot manually alot and on some occasions in program mode....
