My AI lenses have awakened from their long sleep...
All the gushing reviews about the Nikon D700 are absolutely right -- it IS one of the great cameras of all time. For me the coolest thing is being able to use my old (incredibly sharp) AI and AIs manual-focus lenses. None of that conversion-factor nonsense. The D700's full-frame capability is especially great if the thrill of your Vivitar 135mm is gone and you can now appreciate wide-angle lenses. My 20mm Nikkor AI lens is once again -- gosh -- a 20mm lens. It works just like it did on my F2 ...

Great camera body, worth my wait to go digital
First things first: I had waited for a camera like this to go digital. Of course, as part of my transition and as a way to cope with the learning curve, I decided to look at this camera as if it were some type of cross between the Nikon F100 and the F5. It does have the heft of the latter, and the ease of use of the former. The complexity of the menus was intimidating at first, but a couple of evenings with the manual, camera in hand, took care of most of my questions. Now, I simply take pho...

A review of the Nikon D700 by a Nikon D300 owner
I am making this review of the Nikon D700 from the perspective of someone who also owns a Nikon D300.
Without qualification, the Nikon D300 is a superb camera. So many superlatives have been used with the D300 that I will not repeat them here. All the superlatives used with the D300 applies equally well to the D700. I will add however that as good as the superlatives may have been with the D300, the D700 deserves a bit more.
Let me explain.
The Nikon D700 is...

A Smaller D3
This is an amazing camera. I am not going to go over the specs because you can read about them on just about any camera web site. What I am going to concentrate on is who should buy one and why.
First off, I've read about many folks lamenting having bought the D300 and now feel like the need to "upgrade" to a D700. These are two different cameras for two different purposes and as such don't compete against each other so much as complement each other. The D300 doesn't have the low ...

D700 FX vs D300 DX
"Wohohoho!" <-- that was what I "said" when I saw the first shots taken with the D700. Maybe this expansive reaction does not describe exactly the differences in image quality nor does say much about handling and ergonomics, however it says that I was QUITE surprised coming after almost one year of using an already wonderful dSLR that I enjoyed a lot.
What I will try to do is to put down some differences between these two cameras and pinpoint some considerations you might be interested i...

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!
The D700 is an eye-popping instrument! After 25 years out of the photo market, I jumped both feet. I looked at the Canon,,,seemed a bit cheap in the feel market. The 700 is like picking up a milled vault with a lens on the end. Great balance. Beautiful touch and feel...and ridiculous features. I bought this as an end camera; one you cannot outgrow. It has proven to be easy to use and endlessly deep in what it can accomplish. YOUR ability is the only limit. I purchased an 85 1.4 and a 70-200 f 2....

The one I'd been waiting for
I've been a semi-pro digital user for five years. I started wtih a Fuji S2, moved up to the Nikon D2H (horrible reliability, expensive), D2Hs, D200, D300 and finally the D700.
With every camera prior to the D700 there were compromises and Nikon was always two years behind Canon. Finally, when the D3 came out, they were in the lead again, but the price was too much for my semi-pro use to justify. So I struggled along with a pair of D300s for another eight months. The D300 is an excelle...

This was my 2nd choice and I'm glad I made it.
I was holding out for the 5d mk2 with the kit lens and didn't really consider the d700 until it became evident that it was going to take a very long time and that I wasn't going to get a discount any time soon....
I was already not a 100% sure with the 5d because of it's plastic body, the low 3.9 frame rate and the fact that they have a fairly high number of issues per 'capita'. I was convinced though that the megapixels were important enough that I didn't really have any other choic...

Full Frame Beauty
I've owned it for over a month now and this seems to be the digital SLR I've wanted since I stopped using my old Nikon F. I have owned the D200 and D300, but as expected, this surpasses all. You really need to look through the viewfinder to appreciate the beauty of full frame. It is as if someone turned on the light. And with a fast lens, it is so much brighter than a cropped sensor camera. I added Nikon's magnifying eyepiece and rubber cup - as a result I use autofocus a lot less.
The othe...

A review of D700 by a previously D200 owner.
I couldn't be more happy with the purchase of Nikon D700 Digital SLR camera. It replaced my 3-year old and retiring Nikon D200, which I have put well over 100,000 images through (and it's still going strong.)
I'm an actual photographer, not a camera-aholic who buys camera equipment and lenses as "collection". So a camera that "feels right in my hand" is very important to assist my creative productivity flow.
The camera have a very solid construction, it is said to use a th...
