outstanding tool
I have been using this camera for the last two years and have taken over 50,000 exposures. this is a tank and by far one of the best cameras I have used. It has paid for itself several times over!!!!!
July 22, 2010
This is an awesome product with seemingly endless features and excellent build quality. I've owned 10+ Nikons and this is my favorite.
July 22, 2010
My favorite Nikon ever!
I absolutely LOVE the Nikon D700! It is by far my favorite and is my"go to" camera. After using several, including the D3, I find the D700 to be the favorite. It has all the bells and whistles in the FX format, but is lighter and easier to handle.
July 22, 2010
It is fabulous
I love so many of the features of my Nikon D700
from the high ISO, which helps me so much in dark room, weddings and Bar & Bat Mitzvahs where you may not use flash, to the large viewing screen the fast speed of the mechanics, so much faster than my Fuji S3 it is ridiculous, and the lightness of the camera body , yet it is sturdiness as well. I love it .. it goes with me where ever i go.
I would buy twelve of these cameras if i had the money
July 22, 2010
Amazing low light capability with low noise
The first thing I noticed was the amazing image sensor on this camera giving the ability to shoot in extreme low light conditions without the need for a flash or flood lights. The noise control integrated into this sensor works well. Even to a skeptic like me who never shot anything digitally over ISO 200 on previous models, I am now comfortable capturing clean sharp images at 1600 and sometimes 3200.
My first full framer, this camera reminds me of shooting with 35mm film and a fast prime lens just like the good old days. Image processing is fast and the controls are easy to use. I bought the extra battery pack witch makes the camera even bigger than it's already large build but I recommend it highly because you have more grab zones plus the vertical orientation shutter release.
Nikon's awesome lens catalog.
The Nikon Lighting System.
Ease of use.
Firmware Support.

The D700 camera has MANY features
I bought the D700 primarily due to its full frame sensor and have never regretted my purchase. I was amazed at the total number of menu options available as well as the quality of the photos taken compared with the D40x which the D700 replaced. My only lament is that Nikon does not include VR in the body and instead incorporates it in the Nikon line of lenses. I am very happy with the purchase of this camera and would recommend it to anyone who cannot afford the D3 models.
July 22, 2010
One of my favorite camera bodies.
The D700 has served me well in low light sports but also with high-end portraits.
I got the camera to be a second body, but it ended up being more than that.
The size is also conducive to carrying around all day and the list of things done right would be far too long to list here.
My only criticisms would be minor:
- pop-up flash pops up too easily (I tape mine shut)
- memory card door opens too easily (D300's is better)
- video option would be perfect
- slightly more megapixels would be great (16mp?)
July 22, 2010
Great tool.
My first Nikon, bought in 1968, hooked me for the rest of my photographic life. Back then, the Nikon F counted on Tri-X, Acufine and Diafine to shoot daily assignments. With the D700 you have everything you need in an affordable, durable, camera that is always there when you need it. It fits like a glove, and the images are stunning. I use the D700 as my primary camera and would feel lost without it. It is an unbelievable product.
July 22, 2010
Powerful Tool.
As a portrait photographer for 20 years I've used all kinds of camera equipment from 35mm to medium format. This is the most versatile camera of the lot. Just enough pixel density for sharp pictures and the sensors ability to render fantastic results in low light make my ability to shot in a natural light situation a new powerful facit of my photography. I can use smaller f1.8 prime lenses for hand held work with extraordinary results.
Highly recommended.
July 22, 2010
I have D200 and D700 , but more happy with D200. Whatever I can see in View finder is less than I can see on picture, not that much in D200 . The difference is very much. Light metering on one point and all points vey much confusing were in D200 better.
Picture contrast all type of shadows better on D200
July 22, 2010
D700 does several things really well
I use both the D2x and D700 in my commercial photography- both excellent, dependable cameras. The D2x provides great quality when shooting products. The D700 is great for so many other situations- when shooting corporate events, when working in mixed lighting environments, when shooting flash and dragging the shutter, when a wide angle lens is essential, when illumination levels are low, when you want or need to travel light. It produces superior results to the D2x in these circumstances.
Now if I could only stumble across a pot of gold I'd can purchase the D3x to replace the D2x (no disrespect intended).
July 22, 2010
Perfect compromise
I used to shoot with Nikon professional bodies - but I find the D700 to be a perfect balance between a rugged body, with a removable battery pack/flip up flash for those times I just want to bring a camera to dinner without the huge size and weight associated with professional body and external flash. That alone is awesome.
Everything else - Nikon's fit and finish, functionality, metering, speed, and low light characteristics makes the D700 a winner...
July 22, 2010
companion through the year
it performs really as expected.
I take it everywhere with me. The last occasions were Oxford, Istanbul, marriage, Paris-Roubaix, Tour de France at Brussels....
I mix celebrations-portraits-sports and general view inside ( mosques- cisterns-evening...).
I do not need a flash because of my lens 24-70 mm with 1:2.8.
I think about a course to learn more about.
I'm not photograph.... I learned recently that D 700 is classified as professional camera... So i made a good choice one year ago after my D 200 !
July 22, 2010
Great camera
The D700 is the perfect blend or pro style FX features packaged in a smaller body. Great all around camera for serious amateurs, and it works really well with older lenses.
Until the ISO sensitivity improves exponentially, I don't see myself getting another camera body for a long long time.
July 22, 2010
Just Perfect
This is a excellent camara becaue i can take pictures in any time of the day
July 22, 2010
Absolutely Best Piece for Semi-pro product!!!
I purchased last year (June 2009) and still love all the features!
July 22, 2010
I've been using Nikons as a pro continuously since 1980. I started with the Nikon FM and those sturdy manual focus lenses. With each new generation of Nikon camera I owned, the FM2, F3P, F5, D100, D200, D1H, D2X, D300 and the D700, Nikon built me a camera body I could trust to work. I've used the D700 for everything from -20º skijoring to 100º+ hiking on desert trails. It's image quality is stunning even at high ISO. I have finicky clients that tell me so. I use its excellent wireless connectivity to SB-800 strobes almost daily. As a freelance photojournalist I have to watch my expenses carefully. I've used Nikons for over 30 years because they work well, work very well day after day. I cannot afford to have a camera that does not perform well for many years.
July 22, 2010
Excellent in every respect
I consider myself an "advanced amateur", and the D700 is my third Nikon. It has everything I could want in a camera. I continually get comments on my images, sharp, clear, color correct, etc. Any failures in my photography are now attributable to me and not the camera.
July 22, 2010
Awesome Nikon Camera
I heard alot of hype about the D700. I can now say it's all true. This camera is amazing in low light situations. You can easily shoot up to ISO 6400 and have a very usable photo. Theres not alot of menu diving for custom setups which is also also a very nice feature. I have a D300 as a backup and it never comes out of my bag. I LOVE this camera.
July 22, 2010
it's like shooting film again..
I have the D700 for 2 years now and since day one. My biggest surprise was "Wow I feel like I am shooting film camera again!" not just because the viewfinder is larger than DX camera, but the image quality! the smooth color gradient and low noise was incredible! been a DX shooter since D1..
July 22, 2010
Solid, dependable, fair price
Like the D3's little brother, minus the dual CF card slots and that is the only flaw with this outstanding camera. The card slot door is similar to that of the D-90 and for the additional money, the card slot door is a weak point, i.e. prone to snap or break due to it's construction. I expected more in the 2K price range. Other than that, the D-700 is a top notch performer and priced much less than say the D3 but retains most of it's features.
July 22, 2010
Great buy at twice the price.
I upgraded from a D200 to a D700 it was the best move I ever made concerning photography. Though more complex I find the D700 easier to use then is my D200.
July 22, 2010
Overall excellent camera with superb image quality
This is an excellent camera overall, with a superb imaging sensor, robust construction, and effective ergonomics. I particularly like the CLS flash system, and the tremendous low-light, high ASA performance. The options for integration with other components of the "Nikon System" make this a perfect choice for me.
I was a little disturbed by the sound and feel of the shutter at first - it didn't sound smooth and silky like previous Nikon cameras - but I'm used to it now!
July 22, 2010
Love camera and features, but had sensor problem
This is a great camera and takes wonderful pictures, but I have had a sensor problem related to streaks in the sky on contrasty images. The camera was repaired (which took over two months) but I believe I am continuing to have the same problem. Nikon replaced over half the camera with new parts, but the camera and sensor should never of had such a problem. I am not certain, but I believe the problem is starting to happen again. Keep in mind that I have not abused the camera in any way; if anything I have been overly careful with the camera.
I have owned over 6 Nikon film cameras over the years and have never had any problems with any of those cameras. This is my first digital camera and I have had problems within the first six months of it's purchase. If I had it to do over, I would have purchased a D300 or D300S because I have heard of no problems with those cameras.
July 22, 2010
Excellent semi-pro camera
Has proven to be an excellent camera having moved from a D100 to the D700. Produces outstanding pictures. If anything, its almost too versatile given all of its programmable options.
July 22, 2010
Best camera ever
Best camera I've ever owned. Great RAW images! Best low-light camera I have. I use the D700 for architectural photography and don't worry about lighting conditions - whatever I run into the D700 can handle it. This is my go-to camera that travels with me from hot & humid to cold & dry and never lets me down. 14bit RAW files make fantastic images!
July 22, 2010
Excellence in your hand
I've shot with Nikon products since my first 1962 Nikon F Photomic. I've owned many, many other bodies from then. The D700 is without question the best camera I've ever owned. Aside from the obvious differences between film and digital, the overall construction and integrity of this body is simply spectacular. The D700 also sits in the sweet spot between price and ability. This camera shares the extremely versatile CMOS chip in the D3 and as such enjoys the same low noise at high ISO ratings and the full frame image I require. Combined with pro-level Nikkor glass, images are luminous, vibrant and achieve a sharpness far beyond that obtainable on film. The body itself has an impressive array of programmable features to tailor the camera to the way I work, an under-appreciated feature. Moreover, the D700 seems like it could be the last of what we consider a "traditional" camera. As photography naturally migrates to video and sound, and no mirror boxes, we will not see the likes of this wonderful body again. It is by any measure a classic.
July 22, 2010
I have the D3 and the D700 is a great addition
The D700 has most of the features of the D3 and because of its smaller size makes it a great camera to take on trips such as Europe. I have traveled extensively throughout Europe of the last few years with the D700 and it performed beautifully. The FX sensor makes a huge deference when cropping.
July 22, 2010
Nearly Perfect!
Having been a dedicated professional Canon user for over 10 years, I made the switch to the D700 only after a fellow professional photographer bought his and couldn't stop talking about it. After making the switch, I too couldn't stop talking about it. The D700 makes sports shooting (even in the worst of lighting conditions) ridiculously easy. I have complete confidence in this camera for every type of shoot (portraits, fine arts performances, sports, etc.). I have since sold all of my Canon equipment and would gladly purchase another D700, except I now eagerly await whatever Nikon comes up with next as its replacement.
July 22, 2010
Overall, great product with a few flaws.
The audible in-focus beep is not loud enough.
The group or area focus feature is not well defined, as with the Fuji S-5. Using the single rectangular focus square for multiple focusing options is confusing.
Would like film simulation mode choices, such as with the Fuji S-5.
Image quality is terrific, even at high ISOs.

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. 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.

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.

Answer:
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.
