Enormous capability
Have used this since 1 week after deliveries began. The most notable thing I have to say is that even when Working "Elvis Last Show" in a very dimly lit theatre is that the wonderful performance at even ISO 3200 was actually incredible. I did a photo shoot for "Sins of Babylon" band that required very low light use. Perfomance was near perfect. Using good lenses this machine wil focus in near dark even without the use of the assist light which is usually not allowed by band venues. The use of the MBD-10 Vertical Grip makes this capable at almost any venue for near any purpose. File sizes are still manageble at 12 M and a couple 8 gig cards will get you through almost any wedding. I find this very good for wildlife also while noting that the mirror is in fact a bit loud as compared to a D300. It seems to track flying birds w/ near perfect focus most shots.
Mine has been rained on without an adverse affects as I live in a very rainy area. Snow in Colorado did not cause any problem either. With a bit of care it is good in the woods.
When used w/ an "L" bracket the rubber door to outputs is in fact near impossible to reclose. A small nit to put up with to get all the other capacity of the D700. In spite of its successor being named, this is a fantastic tool. All the review sites on earth have much numbers too look at which is why I quote none. In service it is near flawless. Heartily Recommended.

Perfect Features In a Small Package
I have had this Camera for over 3 yrs Now. I use it for all my shoots, From Weddings and Senior Portraits, To shooting Friday Night Football Games at my sons High School...... I would recommend it as a well rounded camera.

D700
I love this thing. It's a definite workhorse. I was a starting out photography student and had the choice between Nikon and Canon. I used the 5dmkii extensively because my teachers and piers primarily use canon. When I got this I was amazed at how much better it handled low light situations both in focusing and noise/grain levels. Definite win for Nikon. I just hope that when it is upgraded they will take back the crown of Low Light King from the 5dmkiii.

great camera
I bought this camera for it's sensor size. Works with all my nikon lenses. The lack of noise at the higher iso range is exceptional. It is not a tiny small camera that fits in your pocket, it is a more serious camera.
March 15, 2012
Excellent camera technology
I can say only excellent things about my D700. It has been my mainstay from the time it was released to the market. Camera operated above my expectations and forced me to the D7000, which also blows me away!
March 15, 2012
Great Gear
The D700 is an outstanding camera, excellent pro gear. Rugged and very durable. AF is quite good specially for action photography. Low light capability excellent that I understand is being improved with the D800.
Why 4 stars and not 5? I think the menu trees are quite complex, specially when you are in a hurry to change a setting (though you have the option of saving commonly used settings). I find the live-view mode somewhat cumbersome and would like an actual switch to enable it. Wish Nikon would provide the option of interchangeable focus screens.
Other than this the D700 is an excellent camera.
March 15, 2012
A camera for every purpose
I have been using the D700 exclusively for several years now, and have found it my perfect workhorse camera. As a professional I appreciate the impressive features that allow me to adapt to any situation, from product shots to events. As a traveler and mountain climber I appreciate its ruggedness, including taking beatings on such unforgiveable terrain as Mt. St. Helens and the Cascades. It travels with me in my photo research on the medieval castles of Germany, and it serves as my portrait camera in my business. I have already ordered the new D800, but the D700 will remain attached to one of my shoulders.
March 15, 2012
The D700 is almost unlimited in the range of flexibility of color, contrast, light, and control of all of the above.
The D700 will make you a better photographer by expanding the range of possibilties that occur when in reality you are taking your pictures on the fly or in the moment. This camera will not let you take a bad picture.
March 15, 2012
Excellent
The Nikon D700 is a great all around camera body.
Reasonably priced compared to the Nikon D3.
Like the medial construction of the body, easy to navigate around the body of the camera, and the full frame (FX ) is the best that I have seen in a digital cameras body, that truly shows off great clarity and with true colors (I have a Nikon D300 and is hard to go back to the DX).
The Nikon D700 dose lack on having only 12.1 MP, especially when you want to blow up an image very large. Also I wish it had more play with the ISO, the Nikon D700 gets a lot of noise at 3200. Only other complaint I have about the D700, is that it shoots up to 5 fps, at least make it 7fps!
Overall, a great camera body that gets the job done. It would just be nice to have the better features with out having to spend a crazy amount of money on a camera body! Looking forward to see what the Nikon D800 is going to be all about.

One of the greatest digital cameras ever made.
I have used this camera to photograph a long-term project that had taken me several years. The project required that I shoot in a theatre setting in terrible lighting and with no flash. This camera with its brilliant low-light capability allowed me to take consistently beautiful photos.
The colors, including skin tones, in NIkon cameras are wonderful. The burst rate on this camera also helps me to effortlessly shoot fast action with confidence, knowing that I will get the shots I need.
I use it much of the time with the Nikon 24 - 70mm f/2.8 lens, which while a bit heavy, is an amazing lens. Fast and accurate.
This is without a doubt one of the greatest digital cameras ever made. Nikon also makes some of the best lenses in the world.
March 15, 2012
I love the low light ability.
I received my D700 as a retirement gift from my wife, in 2010, I've been a Nikon shooter for almost 25 years, beginning with a N2000.
Along with the D700, I use other Nikon cameras, and Nikon lenses.
March 15, 2012
Still a great camera
In spite of the introduction of its successor - the D800/E - the D700 is still a great camera. I've taken shots at above 25,000 ISO in near darkness and was able to get viable images using NIK Dfine 2 to get rid of the inevitable noise with little loss to edge sharpness. It's also designed beautifully and built like a tank. If you're looking for an available light camera, then the D700 is hard to beat.
March 15, 2012
One Of The Best Full-Frame Cameras
I have owned a D700 for three years and highly recommend it. The D700 has all of the most important features of cameras which cost twice as much and is a great choice for studio and wedding work. The high ISO capability makes it very effective for work in low light situations including dark churches and wedding receptions. The 12 MP sensor makes manageable files with the option of doubling the raw file size in Adobe Camera Raw therefor making the camera effectively 24 MP.
March 15, 2012
Excellent full frame sensor digital camera
I photograph events and weddings and sports.
The Nikon D700 has performed 100% .
Able to capture fast action on the basketball court
and low light at many church weddings.
Very light weight body.
I highly recommend the Nikon D700.
March 15, 2012
Outstanding and in the tradition of Nikon excellence and reliability
This is my tenth nikon camera system. There are so many features on this camera that have already been covered i would like to simply list the points which make this one of the best in the world working cameras i have owned. Having the D2X and D100, D200, D300 , F2, etc I have lenses that still fit and operate on the D700. So here is the list -
1. Outstanding RAW image capture and ability to get extraordinary detail, saturation, color balance and information on my digital images
2. Sturdy - works in swamps, deserts, mountains - extreme temperatures where I hike flawlessly.
3. Optics which never quit working not only are the images wonderful through the Nikor glass, the lens collection i have continues to expand and the D700 continues to support all of the glass I own giving me a tremendous platform of choices for my photography wishes.
4. The D700 coupled with a 50mm prime is simply STUNNING probably the best digital images to date in my entire range of shooting. I am continuously excited and enjoy working the D700 and the simple 50mm 1.4 setup
5. Ergonomics - the D700 has the best natural fit, feel and button locations for the features I use frequently. I Program the front ring for speeds and the back ring for f-stop coupled with the on screen indicators makes depth of field and manual shooting an automatic experience. the +-ev , iso, etc all the functions you can want are at your finger tips and you can program your profiles as well and recall them a button push.
I can go on and on about this camera. After getting it I sold my D2X. There was simply no need for that level of expense in a camera when the D700 blows away everything else in the field.
GREAT job Nikon - this one is a the pinnacle of production still (IMHO)
March 15, 2012
Best decision I made!
The D700 was a natural progression for me. I started out with a Nikon D70, moved into the D90, and finally the D700. I was looking for a full frame sensor that was compatible with all the lenses I already owned and would give me the performance I was looking for.
The ISO performance of the D700 is fantastic. I get very good results right up to 3200 ISO and depending on the conditions, I can push it right up to 4000 ISO.
I use the camera for both portrait work as well as action sports photography. With the optional MD-10 battery pack and eight rechargeable AA batteries, I can get up to 8 frames per second. Again, the high ISO is key especially when I shoot in Aperture priority mode with varying lighting conditions, I set Auto-ISO to 3200 and the min shutter speed to 1/500 and the camera handles the rest.
At this time, the only camera that I would consider replacing this body with is the D3s or D4.
March 15, 2012
D700 Nikon Body
My first love of the D700 is it high ISO performance. I do a lot of dim light photography and the noise level is very acceptable with the D700.
And it contains everything in one package: rapid sequence shooting, 4 shooting modes, bracketing feature for exposure accuracy and HDR rendition, rugged build, and a host of other features which allows the informed user to address any situation.
March 15, 2012
Wow!
Best camera I ever owned. If you can own one Camera the D700 is the one to buy. Once you start using the D700 it will make you think your' a Pro. This camera make taking pictures fun. I didn't think I needed an expensive camera. But Wow glad I closed my eyes and press buy. The results taking pictures with a D700 was a WOW.
I previously owned several camera, Canon, and Nikon but I stick with the Nikon coz I can use my other lens. Yes it is costly. But if you want to take your photography to the next level. This is a fantastic start.
March 15, 2012
lo light...can't find the noise
(4.5 really) I teach photography/adobe photoshop lightroom and one of my students asked me to illustrate noise reduction in action... I already had a before/after photo shot at 4500 ISO with available indoor reception light in my presentation. So, I compared the before and after. (You figured it out - no noise)
What does this mean:
- greater flexibility when shooting nature shots early in the morning or later at night - handheld street scenes after dark - party/reception shots that incorporate ambient light with a touch of flash -
What does this accomplish:
- what doesn't it accomplish?

Fabulous Camera
Loved this camera from day 1 i got it and i am still in love with it. Fast , sharp and very professional camera Use it mainly for weddings and i have never had any reasons.
March 15, 2012
Exceptional camera with one incredible weakness -- hot shoe
Very quickly, the D700 is an exceptional camera, the best I've ever used. However, the hot shoe represents an incredible weakness. Using an SB-900 flash, over time, the hot shoe loses its ability to hold the flash tightly enough to allow the flash to work, resulting in strobing and failure to work period. Nikon repair was over $250. A simple solution appears to be the rubber gasket that provides weather sealing that sits on the bottom of the SB-900.
March 15, 2012
Great blend of versatility and usability!
The D700 and it's high ISO ability open up a whole new world of shooting opportunities. I am able to capture natural light portraits in lower light than ever before using ISO's up to 800, easily. Shooting sports in low light provides much more usable images than my previous D80. The focus system is so much faster and more accurate as well. Couple that with an MB-D10 and EN-EL4a battery allowing 8 frames per second and you can capture all of the high speed action. The added benefit of weather sealing makes this camera capable of handling any situation you could throw at it. Nikon's intuitive layout of controls and dedicated buttons for most accesses adjustments makes adapting to situations a breeze. I love this camera and am very pleased with the possibilities it presents.

Small Strongman
I bought it quite long ago as a back up for my D3. And I have to tell that it's a great piece of technique. High ISO...great. Fast response. Lots of configuration options. Almost all of the the things that D3 is offering but in a smaller package. It's also good as a "walking" camera as D3 is much heavier. I was using D700 during my business trips (I'm not a professional photographer) for photographing nature, landscapes and officials and using D700 I was sure that it won't fail (of course D3 was always with me...just in case ;))) The only thing missing, which is quite useful for me in D3, is ISO regulation....meaning ability to put shutter speed parameter in "auto ISO" option in "my menu". Of course you can regulate it, but have to go to "normal" menu and find it and then change it. In "my menu" you can only turn on or off Auto ISO without any furter options (in D3 you can put "fully functional" auto ISO into "my menu").

Nikon D700 "Awesome" created camera
I have the Nikon D90 and at the time felt it was the best, till the Nikon D700 arrived. I shoot a lot of sports out doors and in doors and the low light capacity is "awesome." I'm just disappointed that Nikon has discontinued this model. It would be nice if Nikon can find me another D700. I've tried all over and all seem to me out of stock. "Why are you discontinuing this model?"
March 15, 2012
Nice SLR for low light Nature Photography
combined with the proper Nikon lens, is a great camera, very pleased . It could use some improvements, the body could be made of something other than plastic, the door latch to the batterie compartment needs to be upgraded, something easier to use and a more proper fit.
March 15, 2012
Extremely Versatile Camera
I have used this camera for sports, indoor performances, wildlife and landscapes. The high ISO capability, the bracketing and full frame sensor all add up to a great package.
March 15, 2012
They don't get much better than this!
Bang for buck this is one great camera.
I shoot weddings and these were my workhorses until I moved up to the D3s. The high ISO my be a little better with the D3s, but the D700 isn't very far behind. Love the size, the control layout, the image quality, and the value. The build quality is great except for the problems it may have with the SB-900 flash causing the hotshoe to become loose. I would be nice if it had two memory card slots too. That's really my only complaints about the D700.
The D700 is a Nikon classic.
March 15, 2012
D700
I like the d700 and will not buy the new d800.
Would like to see a d700s with the d3s chip, would make a great camera for weddings.

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.

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.

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?

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.
