More than you would want
Nikon Review
A real Jem of a photographic instrument. As a scientist, my grandfather would be amazed at this technology and its phenomenal capabilities. He was so enthusiastic about photography that he had his own darkroom in his home where he spent much of his free time shooting his garden and sunsets when color slides first came out. Having built some of the largest telescopes and camera mounts in the world he would have loved to have a D700 for photographing the stars and light spectrums, rather using the old fashion glass plates.
I, myself find it amazing that I have not worn out the shutter mechanism of my D700, with the thousands and thousands of shots I have taken in my travels and experimentation I do with this camera. It literally can do just about any kind of shooting I want. Any Speed, any ISO, any White Balance for any situation which might come up. I even went into a pitch black closet to test the ISO spread and got a great shot; without a flash.
My satisfaction with this camera is beyond compare and I would advise anyone that wants to work on their photographic skills to have a D700.

Nice camera!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just bought this camera last week, and I'm really impressed so far. It feels pretty good on the grip, good size and weight, very solid. The images are very good, comparing to a crop camera.

I LOVE my D700
Upgrading from my D70 to D700 in 2008 was a big leap, although I am in a camera club and take all types of photos I really enjoy photographing birds in flight, being able to bump up the ISO to 1000 or 1600 without unacceptable noise means I can use higher shutter speeds and still maintain enough depth of field get most or all of the bird in focus. Other features I love is the fact there are lots of buttons so any adjustments you need to make can be done very quickly without going into menus.
April 13, 2012
Excellent color, versatile and rugged.
I use it for underwater photography and am very pleased with the photos. Used with good fast lenses the focus is fast and I love having control of all of the settings. I always shoot in manual mode underwater and with the ability to set the flash sync set to rear curtain one can get a clear pics of those pesky fast fish.
I also use it for landscape and nature photography and having the ability to bracket 3 or 5 photos fast makes capturing HDR images a snap if things are moving on you, however it's best to take advantage of the MUP feature in combination with a good tripod when doing landscape work.
Con: The dust removal feature removes most but not all of the dust that inevitably gets on the CCD.

The D-700 is a can do it camera
Having a D-300 and the D-700, I really like the higher ISO on the D-700. There are events at school and church where a flash would be disruptive. The quality at the 6400 ISO is good. I enjoy the 8 frames a second when using battery grip and the EN-EL4a batteries. I shoot in the worse of weather and my Nikons with a little protection from rain has had no problems. I would like to see a higher ISO.

Best Camera I've Owned Since My Film Cameras
Being a photographer that has used Nikon equipment since 1978, i have been waiting for a digital camera that would have all the latitude and quality that my film cameras offered. The D700 was the first to do that. The film cameras i have owned have ranged from an F2AS to several FM2's to the F4. I have also owned a D1X and and a D2X and kept the film bodies for my SERIOUS photography. But the D700 was the first that allowed me to shoot in low light and have amazing quality. All my film cameras are gone (except for a nostalgic FM body) because i can FINALLY trust a digital body. My D700.

Best camera I have owned
I have had a number of Nikon camera dating back to around 1970. The D700 was heads and shoulders above the other models that I have owned. It has nearly everything that a photographer could use to enhance the picture taking process. It has a full-frame sensor, can take up to eight frames per second, three different metering systems, several buttons which are programmable for better performance based on personal preferences, large digital display on the back and a menu system that has an unbelievable array of features. I love taking RAW photos and this camera provides that capability. For me, it is a solid winner and I love it.

D700
Love my D700. I only wish it had video. I was hoping the D800 would be the same but with video but the file size is too big for my needs. Will you be making an upgrade to the D700 with video? Low light like the D4 in the smaller body size with a pop up flash would be my ideal!
March 29, 2012
Outstanding Camera In Every Way
Best Camera for the money Nikon has ever made!! Hard to make a bad picture.
March 29, 2012
One of the Best Nikon's Ever Made
I've been shooting for a living since 1965, and have had a Nikon or two in my bag since day one. Still have my F-2's and they work flawlessly. The D-700 is a joy to shoot, and I wouldn't think of selling them. Outstanding camera from an outstanding company!
March 29, 2012
Excellent Performer!
I bought this product right out of the gate, and only recently sold it with the availability of the D4. Great camera, and I miss it! It was great to be able to detach the grip and make the camera much more inconspicuous. It was great to have a body that was equivalent to my D3, but A, not as expensive, and B, not as big. Never had any problems with it that Nikon didn't immediately address and take care of for me. Grade A Performer! I never once second guessed the performance of this camera going back and forth from my D3 or my D3s. Outstanding camera, especially for the money. Highly Highly recommended!
March 29, 2012
Excellent handling, well built
Image quality is excellent, controls are well placed, and the feel and handling are superb with the MB-D10 battery grip attached. I frequently use a D3 and the only thing the D700 lacks for my needs is the additional card slot. I hope Nikon continues making the D700, as I don't think the D800 is a qualified replacement for sports photographers with the D800's lower frame-per-second rate.
March 29, 2012
A digital F100
I've owned this camera for 3 years now, as my first line camera, which is 2 years longer than any previous digital camera before it. I've felt that if digital cameras never got better that I'd be happy with it for the rest of my life. It's like the F100, a compact pro camera that can serve consumers well, at a cost short of the top of the line. If you don't need video, this is all the digital camera you'll ever need. I wish that Nikon would make it indefinitely as the D800 isn't really a successor.
March 29, 2012
Very good camera for portraits
Controls well laid out. Produces sharp images. Lacks the dynamic range of the old Fuji S5, that's the only reason for not giving 5 stars.
March 29, 2012
Awesome full size sensor results. Color rendition is outstanding.
This is a great camera for an advanced amateur. Coupled with the SB 900 flash the combo exceeds all expectations. My landscapes and wildlife shots are crisp and the color rendition is on the mark.
My lens collection ...all Nikkors...all do beautifully on this body as well as on the F-100.
Only the 28-300VR presents a weight problem...easily lived with...but it does make a heavy travel package.
Thanks for the artificial horizon and the high ISO range for indoor use without flash.
Overall it is a great camera and should provide many years of service.
March 29, 2012
Wonderful Camera
I've worked this camera hard over the past 3 years, as it's my main camera for weddings. My absolute favorite "ability" of this camera is the range. The highlight recovery exceeds the D3s (in Raw, post production). It's lightweight and easy on my wrists after a full day of shooting. It's fast, and easy to operate. It's a great camera. The only 2 improvements I would love to see made to this camera is dual card slots and better high iso capabilities. Otherwise, it's a great camera.
March 29, 2012
D700 - D3 quality images
The Nikon D700 is a strong performer in the PRO class of cameras and the images it produces with a high quality Nikkor lens are outstanding. The FX full frame sensor creates beautiful photographs. From the build to the features, NIKON QUALITY is at its best in this camera.
March 29, 2012
OK, Not Great
I am a long time user of Nikon camera equipment. I waited until there was a digital Nikon with a sensor (approx) the same size as 35mm film (so that my lenses would behave similarly) that I could afford. My results using the camera have been adequate, really no complaint about that. But there are several things about the camera I do not like. First, some of the controls are not where I would like them; it always takes me a couple of tries to change the aperture or shutter speed or ASA. Also, (and this is my biggest complaint) it is incredibly complicated to use --- way too many options and settings. I have to review the manual every time I use the camera. A couple of other major design issues that I think Nikon could have done better. One is image stabilization (IS). You *could* put it in the camera body, but Nikon chose to put it in the individual lenses. That means I have to replace all my lenses if I want IS. I feel like this is gouging and I resent it. The other major design issue perhaps sounds silly ... but with a digital sensor and view finder, why do we need SLR at all? Why do we need that big mirror flapping up and down? A rethink of the whole system could have paid off in a much better camera.
March 29, 2012
Astounding low light performance!
This camera goes where I go , travelling, hiking or nature watching. In any conditions, it just performs great, in fact always surpassing the (amateur) photographer's talent. At the same time, you have to do a fair amount of exercise, as this is a heavy set of gear.
What I like very much is the layout of the D700 that allows you to adjust most of the operating modes without having to go back to the menus...like in the good old days.
And, finally, I'm still amazed by the quality of the pictures taken in very low light conditions: this is useful not only inside low lit environments (museums, churches...) but also when using long focal lenses.
March 28, 2012
A lighter weight D3
A very fine camera; full-frame auto lenses at reasonable prices still limited, especially ultra-wides. Today I would recommend the D-800. Auto focus long lenses by Nikon not as good as I would like at close range. I really like being able to use my older lenses with the focus assist on the D-700. One thing that real chaps me about this survey is that if forces one to be wordy to reach the "minimum" length required to advance to the next step.
March 28, 2012
Great quality at a better price
I moved to digital late. Partly I still had clients who wanted film and partly because I had a large collection of Nikon lenses that I didn't want to part with; i.e., I wanted the full-frame sensor that would keep my lens collection intact. Within a day of getting the camera, I had a request from a client to shoot something that needed to be delivered long-distance immediately. Obviously a job for digital that film would have had a hard time delivering. Those first shots on that job were an eye-opener. It was a food shot, and the details such as air pockets in the bread texture as well as the sesame seeds and the like were in stunning detail. With the MB-D10 attached, while it becomes a quite large package, the camera performs exceedingly well for the high-speed action I shoot for much of my work. I have enjoyed using this camera over the last several years and have no desire to upgrade. This is an affordable alternative to the D3 series that performs on par with them. I have no interest in video, so that's no temptation either. The only thing I might consider lacking would be dual CF slots. But it's not a real big issue. Great camera all around. Very satisfied.

Takes consistently great photos in any light
I wanted a digital SLR as good and as functional as my old N90, and this is it. I was a little reluctant to invest in an expensive dSLR given how quickly the technology has been evolving, but the D700 I got over 3 years ago is still as good as any dSLR in the same price range on the market today. It consistently and reliably takes great photos under a wide range of lighting conditions.

Finding Balance - Joy
i find the D700 is a nicer and better carmare then the D70 i also own and still used. In the viewing on the D700 is a greater viewing area, idea for a quick viewing on my shot. I am stilling learning the bell on this carmera
March 23, 2012
Professional features at a reasonable price.
I certainly appreciate that Nikon did not forget the owners who possess a range of lenses from the 35mm film era of AI, AIs and AF-D lenses with the introduction of the affordable D700 full frame format digital SLR.
I have always liked the Nikon layout of the operational controls and buttons; they are logically placed and conforming to the human ergonomics. These make the handling and operation of the D700 very easy and convenient.
In spite of being in the digital age the D700 has kept some of the most important functions such as Picture Quality / ISO Setting / White Balance / Metering Mode / Focussing Option / AE Lock / AF Lock and Preview in dedicated one button or switch mode. This allows quick selection and setting without having to go into tedious software menu changes during actual photographic sessions.
The extensive software programmes and user-friendly menus offer limitless and precise setup of the built-in features available in the camera. They can be configured for easy retrieval during usage. All the operational buttons especially the Func allows configuration to any option required within the camera’s operation capability to allow instant recall.
I like the D700 excellent 3-inch TFT LCD, it is ideal for Live-View shooting mode, during high overhead camera shooting position allowing real-time focus and exposure verification. It also provides good picture playback viewing for accurate assessment. The Info display on the LCD screen also is a very useful option, especially when I am taking pictures at night for quick reference on my camera settings, without having to squint at the top LCD panel.
With all Nikon cameras, I like the shutter release button with on-off switch collar which are very convenient and simple to operate. On the D700 which adopts the traditional Nikon control layout, the dial on the left of the viewfinder housing is worth mentioning. It provides settings for shooting modes, live view, Self-timer and Mirror-up is another convenient control permitting the left-hand to operate without having to release the right-hand grip. Additionally the three top buttons allow direct access on the Picture Quality, ISO and White Balance settings with tandem operation of the knurled Main and Sub wheels on the right.
Other features which are worth mentioning are playback and output options, including support for HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) which enables transfer of video on HD TV screens.
Picture Control can be set for Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome. Within each profile, users can preset the hue, saturation, brightness, contrast and sharpening. I normally set the perimeters rather pessimistically as the camera’s algorithm is well programmed to give good picture result.
The in-camera 'retouching' facilities although useful, I seldom use it and do all my retouching on the computer. The option allows D-Lighting and red-eye corrections, trim shots, adjust colour balance and apply monochrome or filter effects.
I find the camera is good in all aspects and wish Nikon can do something for the high mechanical mirror noise and providing more tolerance on the FX image sensor on over-exposure. Also surprisingly, the D700's viewfinder is less accurate than either the D3's or D300's, with only 95% frame coverage instead of the full 100% of the frame.
Otherwise for the price and performance, I find it is good value for money for a full format camera.

Good Pictures and Sturdy
This camera, I have had it 2 years now, continues to provide great pictures with plenty of pixles to support multiple cropping on a picture. Might be a bit heavy for smaller photographers but I didn't find it objectional. Good battery life. Not many choices for zoom lenses in the 50 - 120 mm range. My favorite lense for shooting is the f2.8 17-35 mm but the weight of the camera and this lense makes it a bit heavy.
March 22, 2012
Wonderful workhorse
I have been using the D700 now for 3 years. Wedding photographer. Done over 120 weddings with this camera without almost no problems. Excellent in the low light environments like an old church or during the reception after the coordinator has turned down the lights for "mood".
Only problem has be the hot shoe. It bends up and loosens. This causes the connects to the flash to shift causing some miss fires. After each wedding I have to push the ears back down to keep everything tight. Fix this one problem and it is perfect.
March 21, 2012
Great camera
The D700 is a great camera value. I shoot many night or indoor sporting events and find the ability to handle low light with high iso settings is fantastic with the D700. The ability to freeze the action of a night baseball game with little or no noise is fantastic, the same goes for hockey and basketball.
The menus are easy to learn and use and the cameras design is rugged enough for travel and most weather conditions but still light enough to carry around during a long day of touring.
March 21, 2012
Great camera - D700
I've used my D700 for nearly two years. This is my first DSLR. For me the low light capabilities and quality was one of the main reasons for my decision as I prefer to use natural, ambient light wherever possible. In this the D700 has excelled beyond my expectations. With the exception, corrected with the newest software, of the WB, the D700 has proven to be a fantastic camera.

Answer:
I have a D700 with an SB-800. You can sync the SB-800 at 1/8000 shutter speed. Here are the steps:In Menu >> Custom Settings Menu >> E - Bracketing/Flash >> Flash Sync Speed:
Set 'Internal flash sync speed' to '1/320s (Auto FP)'
In Menu >> Custom Settings Menu >> E - Bracketing/Flash >> Flash cntrl for built-in flash:
Set to 'Commander Mode' with settings:
Built in flash and Group B - Off ( mode: -- comp: --)
Group A :
Set 'Mode' to 'M' and 'Comp' to 1/1 (for full power flash.) You can also use the other modes: Automatic or iTTL - but, you will have to update the setting on the SB-800.
Click OK - not the 'back / left' button - it doesn't save!
On the SB-800:
Turn it on
Hold down 'MODE' and 'ON/OFF' to reset to default settings
Hold down 'SEL' button
Go to top right square
Set to 'REMOTE'
Hold down 'SEL'
On D700:
Pop-up the internal flash
Make sure the red panel on the SB-800 is within sight of the D700 internal flash
Crank up the aperture and shoot up to 1/8000 shutter speed!
Have fun!

Answer:
If you shoot with radio controllers like the Radio poppers and pocket wizards can you shoot at higher sync speeds. Check the radio controller's website for which models do allow high speed sync. You do lose some power in your flash and have to move them in closer to the subject. You can make the sun a fill light and your flash the sun with radio controllers, such as the PX line of Radio Poppers.Cannot afford radio controllers I got a fix for that.
You can turn you camera body upside down to shoot at a higher sync speed. What happens is the shutter will cut off the bottom of the frame due to the sync. Many wedding photographers learned this trick during the film days. Just keep your subject in the bottom half of the frame ( everything being upside down and backwards on a slr body bottom is the cameras top). It's then a simple matter of rotating the frame in post production and no one is the wiser. You might gain a stop over the max sync speed for your model camera.

It should work well if it is an auto focus lens. A big advantage of the D700 is its ability to use the older FX lenses. I own and have purchased some great Nikon lenses on Ebay from former users of Nikon film cameras. The digital age is here and users are unloading older film camera lens that work amazingly well on the D700 or other FX capable Nikons.Aug 2, 2011 by

Absolutely! I have a good friend who owns the 80-200, two-ring design, and it works amazing on his D700, far better than it did on his D200 or D300. Mostly due to the FX sensor and getting true 200mm, instead of 300mm which is harder to hand hold.Answer:

Proof? No. Resistant, yes.As stated elsewhere, even if your camera can survive being outside while it is sprinkling or in a nice dust storm,, your lens may not. You will have to verify both pieces are weather resistant.

Hi Sayan,The D700 is sealed against moisture and dust. YES, It's tough but treat it like it's worth what you paid. it is water and dust resistant. Your lens may or may not be. Dry it or at least wipe it if it get's soaked. It is electronic and water is it's natural enemy. Best way I know to tell you is treat it like a baby and it will last a very long time.

The way I do it on my D3s is to set the camera to M mode and turn the Shutter speed down until you see bulb. You will need to hold the shutter button for the duration of the exposure. I would recommend getting the MC-36 Remote which has a shutter lock function and/or a timer setting.

You need to enter manual mode by holding mode and rotating your rear selector to "M" (you'll see it on the screen) when your in manual exposure mode keep turning your rear selector to the left and you'll get longer and longer exposure times and you'll hit "bulb". hope that helped you.Mar 8, 2011 by

I currently own a D300, and want to purchase the D700 as most of my lens are FX. Before I do that I would like to know if in the near future, (within 6 months), will Nikon offer a D800? And if so what would be the major changes?

Answer:
Tough question.I went from a D200 to a D700 just 4 months ago, and I never regret it. If I where to bet, don't expect the D800 to come out before August, then allow 8 months before they come into the stores. There are D700 bargains out there, where they are going for just under $2000
A D800 will most likely be more mPix (how many?), but the build will be the same. However, plan on a $3000 price tag at first.
Your lenses dictate everything anyway. I have seen many folks throw a cheap lens on a D700.
No point! Buy the great lenses and a cheap body. I bet you could get a used D700 for a $1000 in a couple on months.

You will need to get a tripod with a tracking head. Since the stars move, you need to move your camera with them or you will get streaks across the sky. Look for something called an astronomic mount. They can get expensive so research is required.Apr 14, 2011 by

I already have two of the Nikon 90º viewers. I hope I could use one of them, preferably the DR-6 with my D-700.

Answer:
There is a 90 degree adapter for the D700. The new one is a DR-5 for round eyepiece cameras (D3 series & D700). The DR-6 is for rectangular eyepieceYour best bet is to get a used DR-3 and a DK-7 adapter (for round eyepiece) it is a better build than the DR-5 or 6. There is also a square adapter for used with the rectangular eyepieces as well.
Answer:
This camera is not compatible with the DR-6. The correct one is the DR-5.
