Like the D3 the D700 automatically detects DX lenses
Which have a smaller exposure circle
And shows a crop rectangle in the viewfinder. You lose some pixels but you get a perfect picture. Images are noise free with wide dynamic range and beautiful to...
Full-frame sensor
Smaller and lighter body than the D3
Useful Live View
Virtual horizon
Comfortable to use
The editors didn't like
This is not a complaint
Merely an observation. With a full frame sensor depth of field is reduced
By comparison with an APS sized sensor
For any given f stop. Closer attention needs to be paid of ISO
Aperture and shutter speed. Fortunately the sens...
Abstract: THE AGILE NEW NIKON D700 FX-FORMAT D-SLR CAMERA DELIVERS PERFORMANCE INSPIRED BY THE NIKON D3 IN A SMALLER, LIGHTER DESIGN Nikons Press Release MELVILLE, N.Y. (July 1, 2008) – Nikon, Inc. today introduced the new D700 digital SLR camera featuring a 1...
Nikon, you did good with the D700. You bit the bullet and surely hurt your D3 sales to fill a thriving niche market. Thanks for chilling out on the megapixels and giving us something reasonable (in megapixels and price) with which to work. I hope th...

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 dont 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. Specifications: Digital camera type: SLR; Resolution: ...
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 youre using a DXformat lens), Dust reduction system, Built like a brick, Large, super high resolution 3inc...
iderable drop in resolution with DXformat lensesPoor RAW image editing software included; better RAW editor and remote capture software cost extra, Slow contrast detect AF, no live histogram in live view mode, Rubber cover over side I/O ports doesnt l...
Its hard not to like the Nikon D700. It offers a full frame sensor, stunning photo quality, and blazing fast performance -- just like the much more expensive D3 -- all in a body not much larger than the D300. Theres very little to complain about here...
The Nikon D700 is blisteringly fast and capture incredible results in near darkness. You get a choice of uncompressed TIFF as well as JPEG or Raw files, making the Nikon D700 a solid ‘best of both worlds’ compromise between D300 and D3 models. But bew...
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...
