Amazing High ISO
Wonderful camera.
It is amazing how so great has this camera function.
The D700 that provides literally hundreds of menu options and combinations.
Capture impressive images of faces, actions or simply create magnificent fine art.
Exquisite compilation of features, nice size and weight. Even the price is realistic!
I am delighted with it.
I usually use ISO 800-1600 and photographs are without grain.
Virtually all my work I do with my dynamic duo:
My Nikon D-700 & Capture NX2.
Nikon thank you very much!

VIEW FINDER,LARGE SENSOR WITH CLEANER AND THE FUNC. BUTTON THAT WILL HOLD
CUSTOM OPTIONS. THIS SAVES GOING THROUGH THE LARGE MENUE.

Ove time she has done everything I've needed her to do.
I've had my D700 for several years now and she has done it all. from hi-speed motorsports like MotoGP, Off Road GP Scrambles and Sprint Boat races, shooting bands in very low lit clubs, events, weddings, senior portraits. As one can see, just about every speed and lighting situating you can get into.
Auto focus has been fast and accurate even in low lit situations and tracks very well on very high speed subjects. Keeper rate is very high in both areas.
It's size it good and fits my hands while the necessary controls are intuitively placed and fingers and thumb fall naturally to place. For me it is a natural handling camera body which is important for me because of the diverse shooting situations I get into.
Thanks Nikon for producing such a well rounded and capable camera body.

Still learning D700 capabilities after 2.5 years...low light shooting for example
I have owned my Nikon D700 for a little over two years and am still learning its capabilities. As one who began shooting in High School in the 70's with a Nikon F and Film Speeds from 25-400 A.S.A (yes with a bit of B&W push processing in Acufine developer to 800 A.S.A.,still shooting and developing B&W film 35mm-4x5 currently), for newspapers and a studio, I learned to shoot quite a bit with a strobe.
About a month ago I had the opportunity to shoot a boxing match at ringside and the venue had less then ideal "sports lighting". I tried using my external flash and even with the .5 second recycle time I was having trouble timing my shots at peak action. So, for the first time since owning this camera I pushed the I.S.O. to 6,400 and was shooting at about 1/320th of a second at 5 F.P.S. and the capturing of peak action improved.
I could not believe how well the colors were rendered and how low the noise was in these shots (see attached for a sample). I found it hard to believe that shooting at such an I.S.O. would produce results beyond anything but mediocre.
I had planned on selling my D700 to help fund the acquisition of a D800, but since the D800 will have smaller photo-sites, I will keep the D700 for its known low-light capability and buy the D800 outright for its increased resolution.

Perfect tool for the professional.
All pixels are not created equal. The Nikon D700 has given me outstanding quality and performance for the commercial photography work I do. Time and again it has never failed to deliver in over 2,500 captures. it's been perfect for 30 X 40 inch display prints shot at 400 ISO with no grain, or 1600 ISO shots of a Show cast with fantastic results for marketing materials, or at 200 ISO for landscape images for my agent. Advertising, corporate, product, location, people and aerials, this Nikon D700 get's the job done right, again and again.
This is simply the best Nikon I have ever used in more than 39 years as a professional photographer and Nikon user.
March 19, 2012
Solid performance, superb image quality
I've owed this camera for almost three years and still amazed by its performance. Although it does not has video capabilities which is quite reasonable given that the camera came out almost four years ago I do recommend this camera. The tonal range and iso capabilities are excellent. Autofocus and meetering capabilities are also outstanding. The 12MP sensor is still plenty for most applications and the raw files generated are normally about 25MP. The live view autofocus performance is slow compared to newer models but if you are shooting stationary subjects it works fine. Overall the camera is a winner and I do recommend it.

D700 Excellent Camara
The D700 is an excellent camera for all types of photography. The fast and crystal sharp focus make this a great camera for sporting events. The low light capabilities makes it a great camera for weddings and candid portraits. Excellent price to quality ratio!
March 18, 2012
Boggoles my mind>>> 80+ years old!!
So far camera has to many features that I cannot use them all yet!! Good for low light. Can use old lenses, some 40 years old!! Started with Nikon F. cannot hear beep. . Needs tutoroil to keep features in mind. Need instuction book that has to be clearre to old people!! Must keep wits about you to use camera!!
March 17, 2012
A whole new world.
This camera has given me freedom and extended capability that this old school photographer could only dream of before.
I bought my 1st Nikon in the 70's and struggled along with all the other film photographers to capture my vision of what I was seeing. Even after going digital, the limitations were still there for low light shooting without flash.
Now with the D700, I can capture images that were just not possible before.
March 17, 2012
GREAT FX Digital
This seems to me to be the "sweet-spot" digital. Right number of pixels to produce a good product and large enough pixel size to capture the photons. Great dynamic range. I waited a long time for an affordable FX digital and this one has surpassed all expectations. GREAT ISO range for lower light shots. The right selection of "button" controls to quickly change settings outside the menu system and very nicely balanced. This is everything I had been waiting for in a digital down the long path of D70, D200 and now the D700. This gets there with all of my lenses too all of the way back to the ones I got for the film cameras.
March 17, 2012
For me this was the turning point to Canon but did not...
I love this camera and I am glad because I almost switched to Canon. I like Canons feel,function buttons, some lenses and mostly the faster focus and less noise in their cameras at the same level prior to the D700.I was deciding between the EOS 5D mark 2 and the D700. This next investment would determine a long stay and I was ready to switch.
Being that I also love a couple of my Nikon lenses and the camera body built over Canon I am glad I got this camera. Noise level is wonderful and focus is great. No video but I am not wanting to get into video yet with manual focusing.
The custom bank settings are a bit confusing. Wish I could use this feature more
March 17, 2012
BEST in its class! Reliable and easy to use! Professional quality photos.
I absolutely LOVE this camera body, features and quality! I have exposed this camera to extreme elements living in Florida with heat, humidity and rain. The housing does a wonderful job of remaining sealed and performing without hesitation. The quality photos, lighting sensitivity and color controls make this camera a "MUST have" if you cannot take the next sep financially to a "D3 or D4" series body. This camera is ALWAYS ready when I am!
March 17, 2012
I love my Nikon! D700!
I started with the D50, then went to the D80, followed that with the D300 and I now have the D700. I thought with each camera that it couldn't get better, however, it did! It amazes me what this camera is capable of. Thank you Nikon! You are giving me memories for a lifetime!
March 17, 2012
Great camera!! quick and robust for the medium size FX format.
I own my D700 for over 3 years now and it's never let me down. I'm normally shoot portrait and fashion, It's giving me more than I need every time e.g. excellent colors and dynamic range with very well control for high ISO when shoot in low light if needed.
If you're passion on photography and looking for light and quick camera for everyday shoot in full frame format. This is the one for you. Highly recommended. :)
March 17, 2012
Great pro-quality camera in a nice size
I use this camera for portrait, concert, architecture, and travel photography. Build quality, battery life, and ergonomics are top notch. It has great image quality and autofocus, even in low light. Although the image size is smaller than newer pro cameras, I've had customers print D700 images over 3'x4' with excellent results. 16x24's and smaller are stunning. The primary lenses I use with this body are the f2.8 24-70 and 700-200's, the 105 macro, and the f1.4D 85mm prime. I do plan to add the D800 to my kit. But I'll keep the D700 at least for a while. It has given me so many wonderful images that I'm unlikely to give it up easily.
March 16, 2012
Great low light capabilities.
I am very glad that I got this camera. It is so nice to be able to shoot at a high iso in low light such as the gym and not end up with noisy images.
March 16, 2012
Great color and definition
I own several DSLR cameras including a Nikon D200 and D5100. I often run them side by side and the D700 is by far my favorite. The FX format is a huge improvement for detail and color depth. The other cameras don't even come close. If I want a stunning photo, I always use the D700.
March 16, 2012
Quality
Before D700 I was the owner of a D70 and later a D80. D700 has been a giant step for me in terms of quality. And of course full frame is a new level of experience. I takes the best out of my lenses. And the resolution of photos taken in low light conditions is amazing.
The only thing I regret is the few choices of fully compatible lenses Nikon offers .
It has been a great buy!
March 16, 2012
D300 Owners, the D700 is the perfect companion if you want a full frame sensor
I started with the D300, which is an absolutely superb platform which uses the DX format sensor. I got the D700 for the FX sensor and use one or the other as a backup. The really neat thing is the two models are very similar in their controls, the menus and the way they respond. They also share the same model battery and the MD-10 grip.
This compatibility simplifies my photography and I would highly recommend the D700 to anyone who wants to "upgrade" to the FX sensor. Be sure to purchase lenses that support full frame sensors and they will be compatible with both camera bodies.
One minor flaw on the D700 is the battery life. I can go through at least one battery per day shooting several hundred frames, but since the batteries are the same for my two cameras, I just got a couple of spares and keep them charged.
In summary, I highly recommend the camera. It's a bullet proof solution at 12 mega pixels which is fine for me.

Fantastic ISO sensitivity
Besides the GREAT ISO performance, making wedding photography easy in low lit situations, the functions are all at your fingertips. Buttons and dials are where you would expect them to be and I can change pretty much every setting I would change during a shoot while still looking through the eyepiece.
March 16, 2012
Versatile yet easy to use
I have thoroughly enjoyed my D700 experience. The hierarchy of controls have made it easy to shift from complete manual control of it's functions to programmed mode where the camera makes decisions for you. I have been purchasing Nikon lenses for over thirty years and this camera is compatible with all of them. This design continuity is why I chose Nikon in the first place.
March 16, 2012
D700 is the best Nikon camera body that I have owned
I love my D700 for its low light high ISO capability. I think it will serve me well for a long while. I also can use my older AIS wide angle lens such as the 20mm f3.5 for the wide end, I used the 70-200 f2.8 VRII for telephoto. I can get very nice noiseless photos up to ISO3200 (I keep max ISO = 3200)
March 16, 2012
Fantastic Camera
The D700 is a fantastic camera. The FX sensor combined with all the standard features built in make this one of the most versatile cameras I have ever had. I highly recommend this camera.
March 16, 2012
Perfect!
I cannot think of one single thing I would change. At this price point, and for what this camera offers, it is perfect. I will never, ever, own another brand of DSLR.
March 16, 2012
Great Flexibility and ease of use
I have been enjoying the D700 for a good while now. This camera has exceeded my expectations as a photographer. A nice semi professional camera even though it only has 12.1 Mp. The pictures are always sharp and the camera work reliably. I would recommend the D700 to anyone that wants a professional level camera at an intermediate price. I enjoy taking pictures with out the flash due to the high Iso creative.
March 15, 2012
Full frame, full featured camera!
I purchased my D700 in October 2008 and have been thrilled with it ever since. Of all the cameras I have owned, including many Nikons, the D700 is the one that helped me make the most significant improvement in my photography. It has all the features and settings that you need and it makes it easy for you to get to them through the customizable "My Menu" so all you have to do is just concentrate on taking great pictures. The image quality is excellent even when shot at the higher ISO settings, the auto focus is fast and accurate and the Active D-Lighting function is a godsend. I use an off-camera SB800 Speedlight with the camera flash set to "Commander" mode and I can easily take high quality, imaginative flash photos all controlled and "tweaked" remotely from the camera! This is a great full frame camera built to Nikon's high standards for quality and reliability.
March 15, 2012
Excellent Camera and superb low light performance
For the last two years I have been using D700 for shooting weddings and small parties. Results and feedback from customers has been phenomenal. Battery life is incredible and the additional battery pack runs through the entire event and barely 50% is utilized. accessories could be cheaper though.
March 15, 2012
Superb equipment
I've had my D700 for about a year and love it. it is spectacular in every way. I have no complaints, only praise. My pictures (all using Nikkor lenses) are crisp, vibrant, and inviting. Phenomenal is all I can say.
March 15, 2012
Basicly very easy to use..
I have really liked this Nikon so far over all the others I have owend. The more I use it the easier it gets.

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.

Yes you can as long as it is not designated with DX (crop sensor only). One of the reasons why I have been a Nikon owner since the early 1990s is that compatibility is not an issue with lenses I bought back when I had my Nikon N90 film camera. I still use my N90. I have even tried my old AIS prime lens with my D700 and it works perfectly.Jan 27, 2012 by

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:

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.

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?

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.
