The best camera I ever had.
All dials and buttons are in spots I can easily reach; thus, this camera fits my hands perfectly. The menus are grouped and arranged very logically, their use is quite intuitive. The ease of use and the countless ways to modify the look/mood of my pictures make it a joy to use this camera. The built in flash ties effortlessly into the CLS system. I have never tried more and played more than with this camera.

Great Camera
Cost is non prohibitive for an amateur. I also have a D2H and between the two cameras I can cover all the various types of photography I do. The fact that you can remove the extenal drive when you want to walk aroud (it is more discreet and much lighter than the 2 and 3 series of cameras). The high iso capability is great. Overhall I rank the camera highly. I beleive that I will have this camera for a long time due to its rugedness and speed. This is what I was waiting for.

Best All Around Camera I've Ever Owned
I've shot 35mm, 6X7 and $x5 film cameras for many years. I started with a D100 and have had the D200, D300 and a D2H. This camera does it all and does it extremely well. I travel quite a bit and love the ability to shoot in dim cathedrals at high ISO and then step outside and shoot as lower ISOs (6400 ASA is amazing) without having to have a different camera or different film. I bought the camera with the 14-24 because I enjoy ultrawide photography and the D700 has given me back the ultrawide coverage. I do quite a bit of portrait work and am impressed with my available light portraits. The Nikon flash system is truly amazing. I rarely use the built in flash for anything except controlling off-camera SB-800s. This may be the last digital camera I buy as it does it all exptremely well. I still own and F3 and an F5 so I do keep my equipment for a long time.

amazing camera, you can't take a bad picture!!
By far the best camera I've ever used!!
Love the quality of all nikon products!
July 22, 2010
I recently acquired my Nikon D700. It has far exceeded my expectations. The new CMOS sensor is by far so much better than previous editions. It is comfortable and balanced. I love it!
I was on the fence, should I buy the D300S or the D700. I am so glad I spent the extra dollars and went with the D700.
It is an excellent blend of ergonomics, technology and capability.
July 22, 2010
awesome camera unbelieveable low light shots
Love the camera I also have a D-200 which is a great camera but the D700 is easy to use and I am proud to own it. It is a super camera
July 22, 2010
An Excellent Camera
My only objection to this camera is not having a 100% viewfinder. I frequently don't see extraneous elements on the edges of my photos until after I review them. Otherwise I am very pleased with every aspect of the D700.
July 22, 2010
I just love this camera!!!!
6 or 7 months ago I upgraded from my D80 to the D700 and a host of high quality, full-frame lenses. Saying WOW is an major league understatement of how much this camera delivers to the user. There's just so much to like: Fantastic D3S image quality (at 1/2 the price); all kinds of programmable button options; huge/clear LCD screen; live view; a personal menu for the options you access most often; superior frame rate (particularly with the drive attached); image overlay, etc., etc. etc. The camera could use a second CF card (raw in one, jpegs in the other) but we'll probably see that in the D700S (?). Ultimately, I'd like to think seriously about adding the 24 megapixel D4 (for obvious reasons) when it comes out...rumored for mid-2011; however, the D700 will always be within short reach. It's amazing.
July 22, 2010
A precision creative instrument!
I cannot say enough about the quality of Nikon's D700. I've purchased two so far, and it has never failed me. Wherever my photography takes me, the D700 is my rock-solid creative partner. A fine, precision instrument that also delivers quality performance in rugged and adverse conditions. My first D700 was purchased used and is still in service without a single failure.
The full-frame FX format alone makes this camera a must for landscape photogs. The 8fps speed (with battery pack) captures all the action I need to. Hi-ISO range is crisp and clean with surprisingly little noise. I realize some people feel that 12.1 megapixels is dated by today's standards. But trust me, unless you're doing fashion photography, you won't miss the extra pixels. The auto ISO Sensitivity Control feature really comes through when hand-holding long non-VR glass. This has saved the day for me on wedding shoots.
One caveat you should be aware of. FX format will definitely expose flaws in your lenses. If you're working with cheap glass, this camera will absolutely let you know. My philosophy on this is, better to buy the absolute best glass you can afford. And if I can't afford great Nikon glass, then I wait until I can or rent it. I hate buying equipment more than once because I cut corners on quality.
I have zero regrets about this camera. If photography is your business, Nikon is what you want. If you can't quite step up the D3s, this is THE one you want.

I depend on my D700
My Nikon D700 is the backbone of my photography business. I chose the camera because I wanted a camera that I could count on and the D700 has come through with flying colors.
As a maternity and baby photographer in the Los Angeles area, I shoot on location in people's homes, in unpredictable circumstances. Although I travel with and use lighting gear as needed, I always try to use available natural light if I can, because setting up additional lights and modifiers sometimes presents problems in terms of space in the shooting area. I am able to count on the performance of my D700 when pushing my ISO above 800 - I know I will not be dealing with noise problems even at high ISOs. The superb low light performance of my camera allows me to be flexible with client requests. Not having to worry about the performance of my primary tool frees me up to be creative in unpredictable situations. This camera is awesome.
July 22, 2010
Great ergonomics, very good image processing.
Hits: Sound rugged camera body with great ergonomics for field handling. Very good low light capabilities, fast auto focus, and quick image processing. Misses: histogram is tiny and near useless in the field, bracketing requires extra steps, auto white balance misses too often.
Overall, a great feature filled camera body alternative to the flagship model. Tip: Add clear protective sheet over LCD on back.
July 22, 2010
D700
I bought the D700 in March 2009. I cover event contracts under special conditions, one of them being"flash forbidden". My one major reason was the quality of the high ISO, and then of course the weight of the body cause I just can't run-point-shoot with a combination of heavy body and heavy lens, and keep steady shots all day. I am very happy about my D700 and I recommend it, no doubt. One detail to mention: I had to return the body to the factory (i did not use it so much in 2009). There were two awkward and not-so-common defects: printed symbols on back buttons were fading and memory card slot was defective (memory cards were reading error). And nop, I did not force any card, I am pretty cautious with my material. Could it be a lemon? Once theses repairs made (apparently the memory card slot is a part that is not under guarantee): not a problem since. Yes, it's a wonderful body!

Best Nikon for the serious photographer
For its features, robustness, and ease of use, this is the best Nikon ever. It's relatively heavy, but I want the full frame sensor since I have many Nikon lenses. I also have a D80 and use both cameras on all trips since they have their individual advantages, and I believe in always having a backup camera. The low light capability is amazing and I was able to use it to good advantage in Versailles last year where flash is not permitted in the very dark royal bedrooms and in Paris in photographing tapestries and paintings exhibited under very low light conditions. Such images were absolutely impossible with film. I have been a photo hobbyist (not a pro) for over 50 years and have almost all the film Nikons from F thru F2, F3, FE, N70, N80, F100, etc. The D700 is a natural progression in Nikon excellence. If you don't need the low light capability and full frame sensor, then a lighter and smaller D90 or other Nikon would be an excellent choice. I have strongly recommended the entry level D3000 and D5000 to friends who have admired my pictures. My D700 has now been to France, Greece, Turkey, and even Iran and is now headed to the Caribbean and later this year to Egypt. My wonderful D80 will also be with me. The only "issue" I have had was a speck of dust or dirt on the sensor, which appeared at a time that I hadn't changed lenses (about which I am very careful) for some time. I sent it to Nikon for cleaning. I've seen minor dust since, but the internal cleaning system has taken care of it. I don't change lenses as often (and certainly in clean locations) as I do with the film cameras. The way a camera fits my hands is important and the D80 and D700 are perfect in this respect. Some of the smaller "entry level" Nikons and Canons are a bit more difficult to hold. My hands are not that large--I'd say average, but the grip on today's cameras is an important consideration, so you need to see how the camera feels in your hands. All of us long term Nikon photogs waited a while for Nikon to bring us a full frame digital, but now we have what I believe is the best digital camera in the world. In film cameras I have and use a full range of Canon EOS and Leica M series and many more, so I am familiar with many brands, but I see no reason to move seriously to digital with them since the D80 and D700 serve my needs very well.
July 22, 2010
Great camera - first DSLR since retiring my FM-2. The ultimate flexibility with settings, FX format, amazing ISO ability and general feel in the hands make this a solid purchase.
July 22, 2010
Great camera
This is the first digital camera from Nikon that made me forgot de beauty of the film. Now we can say the results are very close and sometimes even better than film. It surely is more versatile. The best thing is the hi iso. The worst is the autofocus, not quite as good as the D3 family. Nevertheless, this is a very good body and i'm very happy whit the results I get from it and all my clients agree.
July 22, 2010
Great except White Balance
Great camera in all respects except white balance!
I have several Nikon cameras and collected a variety of lens over the past 25 years. I have the N70, N90 and two F-5's as well a D60, D300 & D700. The best feature of the D700 is its ability to accomodate vintage and modern day lens.
The white balance on the D300 is optimal compared to the D700 which is very orange-yellowish; despite the ability to manually adjust the auto white balance. I purchased a white balance filter which corrects the problem but this slows done the picture taking process.
The white balance problem only exists in low light (no flash) conditions. It is fine with flash & daylight shots.
July 22, 2010
Great photographic tool
I have been a Nikon shooter for many years going back to pre-digital days. I find the D700 to be unquestionably the best body I have ever used to capture my images. Although there are a vast number of menu choices available to the the shooter, I find that most are self explanatory and easy to modify. Those few menu choices that are new or not readily apparent what they do, are easily figured out by using the in-camera help feature.
Definitely a product I support and am proud to carry when I am out shooting.
July 22, 2010
best camera i have ever used
i finally found a camera that suits my needs! this is a great camera and i am glad i decided to buy it. thank you Nikon for making a superior product.
July 22, 2010
One of the Best
The D700 has allowed me to use my old 35mm Nikon lens along with new Nikon lenses. Features are all that I could ask for. I just love it.
July 22, 2010
The D 700 exceeds my expectations. I continue to learn features in the camera that improve my photos and ability to capture the images I want. This is my first digital camera and will meet my needs for years to come. I've moved up from a F5. The only feature I wish the D 700 had is the vertical camera position shutter release on the F 5. I understand you can get this if you add the battery pack.
July 22, 2010
Awesome, just awesome.
Love the low noise on the full frame sensor. This camera has performed above my expectations!
July 22, 2010
Extremely good camera
I have used Nikon cameras from the late 1960s. My first DSLR was a Nikon D100. I followed that with a D200, which is my backup camera, and finally a D700.
My first impression of the D700 was that it felt like a 'real' film camera. It is a very sturdy camera.
What really impresses me about the D700 is its high ISO performance. On my first outing with the camera, I took some shots in a dark restaurant at ISO 3200. When I looked at those shots on my computer, I could see much more detail in the restaurant pictures than I had seen in the restaurant itself when I was there.
The high ISO performance of the D700 allows me to shoot handheld in light levels where I would have had to use a tripod with other cameras.
I can honestly say the D700 is the best camera I have ever owned.
July 22, 2010
OVERALL GOOD UNIT
PROS: EXCELLENT ASA CAPABILITY, W/ THE GRIP AND ENEL4 BATTERY, IT IS CAPABLE OF 8 FPS, AND THE BATTERY LASTS FOREVER BETWEEN CHARGES, SELF CLEANING SENSOR, FULL FRAME FORMAT, GOOD QUALITY IMAGES, ESPECIALLY W/ GOOD GLASS.
CONS: DATED,NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED TO D3S SPECS (ASA). ONLY A SINGLE MEMORY CARD, RESOLUTION IS NOT UP TO THE CANON STANDARDS (16 AND 18 MP). NO VIDEO, EVEN THOUGH VIDEO IN DSLR'S IS IN ITS INFANCY AND NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE
July 22, 2010
Pro-level features without the cost
I was using a D200 for several years and really wanted a full frame 35mm with better low-light, reduced noise capabilities. When the D700 came out it addressed most of the items on my wish list.
This camera really delivers the goods. It has a long list of controls that allow you to set the camera to just the way you want it to work for YOU. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with the D3s battery.
July 22, 2010
D 700 plus glass available for it cannot be beat!
I have used the D 700 for landscape and portrait photography. The results are outstanding. The light metering systems are second to none. The lenses available are numerous and of outstanding quality as one would expect from Nikon.
July 22, 2010
All the camera a non-professional needs
As an advanced amateur enthusiast, this camera serves the purpose. I've taken several thousand photos of travel, family, and wildlife and it just keeps on working.
Although I'm pretty familiar with different lighting situations and the use of different metering settings, I still have to adjust exposure slightly with Aperture or PS on a fairly high number of my shots.
Also don't like the unintended gravitational travel of zoom on my AFS Nikkor 18-200 mm lens. AFS VR 70-200mm 1:2.8 is great.
I've used Nikon SLRs since 1970 and this is the best yet. Wish I had a use for all of my old non AF lenses.
July 22, 2010
Great camera. Love to shoot with it!
I have been shooting with this body for more than a year now and just love the image quality. At a normal ISO (200 or 320) it's GREAT and kick it up to 5000 or so and give it a proper exposure, it is awesome! REALLY!!
July 22, 2010
Full Frame - Full performance.
Nikon D700 gives the professional or expert amateur a choice for full frame performance. D700 offers many of the features found in it larger sibling D3 without the weight or cost.
D700 Is the perfect camera or second body when needed a lighter alternative without sacrificing performance. Superb High ISO performance up to 6400k with very low nose.
July 22, 2010
Fantastic Camera
I had a D300 for a couple of years till my wife started using it and it was harder to get a hold of it. Since I had invested in so much Nikon glass I decided to give the 700 a try. I'm so glad I did because it became my favorite camera of all time. The picture quality is incredible and the ergonomics of it make it such a pleasure to use. The controls are nearly identical to the D300 and the full frame allows near dark shooting to look virtually noise free especially with my 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. It may appear pricey but if you add the battery grip you essentially have a D3 for a bargain price. I love the loud shutter too. Highly recommended
July 22, 2010
The D700 is a great backup to my D3
I can't wait to use my D700 when I shoot pro football this fall. It's just a great, great 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.

Yes you can as long as it is not designated with DX (crop sensor only).

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.

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.
