The user of Nikon D700
We knew the Nikon D800 soon to be out in your hands, I've read commends and comparison between D700 and the new D800, to me, the D700 is a very exciting digital camera, a very powerful piece of work, it very easily beating up other camera brands in the market today, D700 works perfectly each time in every shot, for sure i won't give it up for the D800, enjoy your shooting and have a lot of funs, thank you.

easy to use
The D700 is a great unit. It takes great photos especially at low lights

love it. love it. don't get much better
i had d3 and love that camera. size of d3 inhibited from carrying it everywhere. d700 came out and immediately bought one and sold the d3. expect to have this for a while. reminds me of the beloved f100.
highly, highly recommended. it does it all very. and super durable -not indestructible like d3.

Excellent camera for every application!
I would highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants to take there photographic skills to the next level. If you can see it in your mind this camera can do it.

Best value in a FULL frame camera
Great camera,uses the Nikkor lenses of years ago that made Nikon what it is today.Ease in operation,BUILT like a NIKON of years ago.SOLID

Best camera I have ever owned
Camera lets me standardize my operations so I can think seeing the light just as I did using 120 film. I like using lenses that I bought since 1963 - 2012. I have 24 x 36 prints with excellent quality.

A low light pro's camera for a lot less money
I use my Nikon D700 to take pictures of kids basketball games in school gyms which are poorly lit. I use a 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR lens. With this combination I am able to take pictures and keep the shutter speed high enough to stop action. I also use a battery pack which gives me 8 frames per second. This is a Pro set up that cost many thousand dollars less then the D3S. I would recommend this camera to anyone that wants a full frame camera.

A workhorse with the world at your hands
When I asked a classmate from 40 years ago what he'd suggest as an upgrade for a digital camera, he suggested the D700. He has a photography business and as far as I'm concerned, he knows what he's talking about. I am the editor/photographer for a small newspaper, but each week I take a variety of photos. I particularly like the D700 for sports photos, from rodeo to basketball. Although I still have a lot to learn, I don't think I'll ever regret making the D700 my choice.
March 14, 2012
Amazing
All I need in the same body, I take amazing picture in low light
March 14, 2012
Just a Gem!!
A true robust and an all rounder!! I really enjoyed and always felt proud to hold this camera in my hands . Very solid and macho !! when I take the pictures in JPEG mode I didn't have to edit .The clarity and the colors are excellent. It never let you down!!
March 14, 2012
Fantastic Full Frame DSLR!
I have had my D700 for just over a year now and I love it. Right from the first time I shot this camera I noticed significant differences compared to the D300 I owned previously, The most notable being the faster shutter speed and low noise at high ISO. The bigger sensor also allows more information to work with during editing. With this body and any of my professional grade lenses, I continue to be impressed every time I review my images.
March 14, 2012
Workhorse and a half.
I use this cameras every day and of the 15-20 models of Nikons I have owned over the years, it is by far my favorite.
March 14, 2012
Rock solid!
What can I say, in every way, the D700 surpasses all my expectations! In low light, where a flash would be inappropriate, I still capture stunning images! I shoot everything from sporting events (both indoors and outside), weddings, family portraits, model portfolios, and much more. I've never found a more versatile camera out there!
The one suggestion I would make is pick up the MB-D10 battery pack, hand grip. It's a must have for fast action, vertical shooting. The added power supply and the additional release button and control dials make a world of difference. I never take it off my D700!

A feature rich camera delivering exceptional picture quality in a small package
I've been a very happy D700 owner since its introduction in mid 2008. The D700 is an amazing camera that is full of great features and is suprisingly easy to use. Combining its incredibly quick and accurate auto-focus system with its highspeed continuous shooting, I've never missed a moment capturing my kids while they were playing. I am especially impressed with the D700's world-class low light (high ISO) performance. It opened up a whole new window of opportunity for me. It delivers exceptional image quality with low noise and high ISO performance. The build and handling of the D700 are great as well. Overall, it is truely a great camera for everyone, whether you are an enthusiastic or professional photographer.
March 14, 2012
A,mazing at Any Price.
I thought "When I grow up, I really want a Nikon." Don't wait to grow up!!! Buy YOUR D 700NIKON NOW.
I looked at a LOT of other cameras, and started taking pics when I was around 15. I am now 60. The 700 is the most camera for the money you can buy. Great balance in the hand; feels like a piece of smooth marble cut to fit our hand. Beautiful design with as many features as any pro camera in the market for less $$$$. Ability to adapt to ANY lighting, exquisite lens selection and world-wide suport.
I could afford to by ANY camera. This is the best bang for the buck, hands down. Go pick one up and compare it in the camera shop. But...bring your wallet, if you really want a camera, you'll be leaving with the Nikon D700. MC, Klawock, Alasaka

Full Frame Workhorse
The D700 is an amazing camera. I sometimes feel like I have only scratched the surface of what it's capable of. The bottom line though is the image and the images from this camera are excellent. I recently tried some of the in camera processing options and was amazed at the results. This camera is still relevant and a great tool to have and use.
March 14, 2012
Great Full Frame (FX) Camera
I love my D700. I love the fact that it is a full frame camera and that my manual 28mm works fine with it, as a real 28mm. The menus are easy to access and the function button lets you program your favorite menu item. I programmed it to tell the camera what manual lens I'm using and record that in the EXIF data.
The sensor has the same amount of pixels than the D300 in a bigger area. This lower pixel density provides for a reduced noise in low light situations. If you couple this with the large ISO range (up to 6400) you have a perfect camera for night shots and work inside tropical rainforests.
The camera feels good in your hands (highly ergonomic,) has a large and luminous display, a fast top shutter speed (1/8000 sec.) and a built-in flash that lets you command a wireless flash system. I use the wireless flash system to take pictures of products and portraits.
The colors captured in the sensor have a great dynamic range and represent meticulously the colors of the subject.
I carry my D700 all over for work and for my personal portfolio. I do a lot of my personal work in Central Park, Riverside Park, and all over New York City. I carry my camera constantly.
I love my D700.

A GREAT CAMERA
The Nikon D700 is all I could ask for in a full frame digital camera. It performs very well in minimum lighting conditions without flash. By using a 1.4 teleconverter it is almost equal to my D300 plus performs better in low lighting. I don't see how I could ask for any more in a camera. It has certainly exceeded my requirements in all aspects.
My first SLR camera was a D! I purchased as a service member while serving in Vietnam. I went through the F series to the F5 which I traded in when I went digital in late 2004 when I purchased the D2X. I later purhased the D300 and then the D700, both of which i still use today. I use the D700 most of the time whike using the D300 when I use a long telephoto lens. I have used both cameras in pretty adverse weather and they have taken a licking but kept on ticking. I am not sure ahat my next camera(s) will be but it will definitely be Nikon.
March 14, 2012
Excellent Pro-Grade camers for ANYONE, even beginners!
The D700 is a marvelous professional grade camera, and from the past couple of years of harsh use in all kinds of weather, I would say nearly indestructable- at least I have not managd to damage it yet... and sometimed it seems like I try real hard!
Excellent low light capability allows me to take great detailed photographs in very low light conditions, such as the midnight to 4:00 a.m. range, often hendheld when carrying a tripod is impossible and a monopod is difficult to maneuver with. A high capture rate allows me to grab consecutive shots that would not be possible with many other cameras.
Easy to use with older manual focus lenses, such as my 16mm Fisheye, a 35mm/1.4, and a 28mm shift lens, make it a most versatile camera.
She has never let me down, and I have well over 10,000 captures on her. I cannot tell you how pleased I have been with my D700, and my backup D300, too! I will admit that I DO miss film!
March 14, 2012
Great camera
Best camera I've ever owned. Easy to used and great results.
March 14, 2012
Wonderful Camera!
We have had this camera for years and love it. The D700 has the same sensor and ISO performance as our Nikon D3. The focusing isn't quite as fast as the D3 but it is still very good. We highly recommend this camera after using it for weddings and family portraits for almost 4 years.
March 14, 2012
Excellent Camera
Excellent Camera, sharp picture, i have this camera for almost 2 years, and i still taking grat pictures, with it. I recomend it a lot.
March 14, 2012
Love the FX format!
Been a photog since the '70's and I've had the D700 since it first came out. My favorite feature is that it works with all of my classic lenses (from the '70s and 80's) giving me the full frame image I am used to from my old 35mm bodies. A close second is the high ISO capability. The quality in low light and high ISO is astounding. I am so happy that Nikon ignored the megapixel race and kept this camera to 12.1. It is the reason the image quality is so high. I routinely enlarge my raw image files to 30x40 inches with no loss of quality. If you want full FX capability on a budget, then this is the camera for you.
March 14, 2012
Another great Nikon
I have owned Nikons since the 70's and this is by far and a way the very best. Shooting nearly everything but studio, this is an extremely reliable and predictable camera. The quality of the images are great. The D700 like the F-1 is tough. This camera was dropped 4' to the concrete floor breaking the lens but the camera came out unscathed. I had the camera checked, finding no damage. I wish I could say the same for the lens. I carry this camera everywhere I go, it is always within reach on a pillow between the seats.
March 14, 2012
Top of the line equipment!
Everytime I upgrade from one camera body to the next in the Nikon community I am amazed at how I like the newer body better than the older one. I was delighted with the D300 and wondered what I would move to from that body. Since much of my business is involved in scenic images I elected to purchase the D700. I have been overjoyed with the quality of the images. I will find it difficult to believe the D800 will surpass the photos I get with the D700. Time will tell and with the recent track record Nikon has it will certainly surpass the camera I am so taken with, the D700.
March 14, 2012
Affordable Low-light Performance
The D700 allows me to shoot in conditions that I would have bypassed prior to owning this camera. The ability to capture fully usable images at ISO 6400 has opened up possibilities that were impractical before. Shooting a handheld long lens in marginal light almost guaranteed unacceptable blur, but now I can crank up the ISO and shoot at 1/500 or faster. If I need depth of field, I can close down the aperture and still shoot tripod-free. And my night sky shots are just incredible, noise-free and shot fast enough to avoid star streaks. Combined with the f/2.8 pro Nikkor glass, the D700 gets exposures that rival the quality of most pro-level rigs that cost twice as much. But most importantly, this camera allows you to add remarkable compositions to your portfolio that were simply impossible to expose prior to the full-frame (FX) sensor at the core of this groundbreaking camera.
March 14, 2012
Meets It's Mark
The Nikon D700 is a great camera for any hi end enthusiast or a great second camera for pros. It has all the pro features, but could do better with low light. I think the D800 will answer that necessity.
Also flash card cover should be opened similar with the D300 or the D3 where it activated by a lever or button. (minor)
I used this camera extremely hard for two years taking almost 100,000 images per year and it held up great! I can only imagine how great the D800 is!!
March 14, 2012
The Best of the Best
I thought that my old Nikon F100 (film) body embodied the very best of all worlds - near-professional build quality, less weight than the bigger F4 or F5, an autofocus system as accurate as the big pro bodies, and all the features and great metering a traveling amateur photographer could wish for. I never thought I'd see such an ideal combination of pro features and consumer-friendly features in one camera body again. After several years of Nikon digital SLR bodies though, the company released the D700. I was in line for a pre-order the day after Nikon announced the thing. When it arrived, I never looked back because Nikon had done it again. Pro build quality, just enough weight to help stabilize my handheld shooting for sharp photos even without VR lenses, a superbly accurate autofocus system, compatibility with all my Nikkor AF lenses (and the few AI-S manual focus Nikkors I've still got), a dreamy sensor with an enormous dynamic range, and all the manual control I could wish for.
Despite the release of the D3s, recently the D4 and even more recently the D800, my D700 will remain my primary camera for a long time to come.

Nikon D700
I love this camera. Image quality and ease of use were one of my main reasons for purchasing. We are wedding photographers and in our line of work, we need a camera that is rugged and can perform in all types of situations. This camera has withstood the test of time and we look forward to keeping it for a few more years. We are now in the process of upgrading to the D800, but will keep this one as a backup.
March 14, 2012
The best camera for the price.
This is just an amazing camera. It it great in low light and I could not image using a camera that did not reach the same capabilities this one has.

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:

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.

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.
