Outstanding Camera
I can't say anything bad about this camera. What a difference a full frame sensor makes. This is my first one and the colors are beautiful, the images are sharp, it is built like a tank. A true professional camera. Pair it with a 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon lens and you will be amazed at what you can do.

Awesome Full Frame DSLR
My first and only DSLR (Full Frame or Crop). This is an awesome camera with fast response, good high ISO performance, enough pixel resolution which doesn't suck up all of the memory card when shooting raw. I have been using it for the past 2.5 years and it has served me well. Highly recommended.

Incredible Camera - Still after 3yrs of use!
I've owned and used the D700 for almost four years now and I still get excited every time I pick it up to photograph my subjects. It has an incredible build qualities and pro features. When used with Nikon's prime Glass; this combination is very hard to beat. The D700 image quality is unsurpassed by equally rated cameras; it's a true Pro-Consumer camera with more "still imagery" Pro features than any in it's class.
I would highly recommend owning one regardless of the newly released D800. Buy both, for speed and agility, the D700 is still "king" and for resolution and huge prints and video you can't go wrong with the D800 (got mine on order but also keeping the D700)

Great Working Photographer Camera
This is a great camera at about half the price of a D3s or D4.
Great sensor, same as D3 and with MB-D10 it's 8 frames per second. Only one shy of D3 on FX.
Built in flash is a great asset for quick shots or triggering slaves.
I have the D700 and D3s and use them daily.
I'd recommend it for anyone to use use to about 25000 iso.
The images are quite saturated and if you don't nee the battery pack it's a small form factor.
If it's good enough for Steve McCurry..
Look him up, I understand the D700 is what he is using these days.

My go to rig!
This bad boy has served me so well over the past couple of years. I have progressed through the nikon dslr range and always pined for something better but once I received my D700 I knew that I had come to a camera I would shoot into the ground. I treat the camera with respect but am hard on my gear for sure and this camera has always taken it well. I shoot everyday professionally and casually and can't imagine life with out this camera.
March 14, 2012
Wonderful camera!
No matter what I tried, this camera never failed me.
It fits my hand, i.e. all the controls are easily accessible. The menu structure is very intuitive. The built-in flash opens the door to using the creative lighting system, which is the best flash system I have ever used. Picture quality is great.

Longer term performance means everything
We purchased a D700 for our company three years ago. We use it with a collection of lenses from our original F4 based system and with some newer AF-S Nikkor lenses; fixed focal length macro, several zoom telephoto lenses. Primarily the set up is used with synchronized studio strobes, manual exposure setting, utilizing the camera's auto focus system. We take approximately fifty to sixty shots per day, every day.
The camera is easy to master and it has plenty of finesse adjustments for a much more refined product. We use the images for our digital publication and for work we do for print publications. We went from passable photography to being known for the quality of our photography. The camera was sent in one time for cleaning. Other than that, the camera has operated without a hitch, consistently and reliably.

Best all around camera I have ever owned. Best low light capability.
This is a fabulous camera. I have owned many Nikon cameras from the early Nikon S rangefinder to the latest DSLRs. I use it in the field as well as in the studio on a weekly basis. The only thing that I miss is a real live view with exposure capability. I would also like it to be lighter. Hopefully the D800 will fill this need.
March 14, 2012
As perfect as I have ever had!
I have two of these and they are the best Nikons I ever owned - although i still love my old film F4- and can't imagine not using these daily. I have two older D1X models (one is I.R. converted), a D2X that is used only occasionally, and a D300s that travels in the trunk of my car for spontaneous picture opportunities.\; but my D700 are my bread-and-butter money makers for portrait work. I keep one optimized for my indoor studio work, and one for location work.
The 12 megapixel sensor hasn't limited me whatsoever. The only improvements I might see are possibly getting a 100% viewfinder. More megapixels would be okay but I don't see the need in huge increases there. Greater low-light capabilities might be useful sometimes, but all-in-all I consider this to be a near-perfect camera.
I've been a Nikon shooter since 1974 and have had just about every professional body they've made. This is the best over all that I've owned!!
March 14, 2012
Example: Great features in a small package!
the most outstanding camera we have ever used .. it can take heat and cold and keep on going .. its durable and reliable ...
March 14, 2012
The most best camera in the best form factor period. All the image quality of the D3 in a smaller, lighter size.
The D700 is the best digital SLR available for everyday shooting. It is not the best sports camera, not the best available darkness camera (although still the D700 offers amazing low light image quality) and it is not a video camera. It is a camera that meets the needs of many with sufficient image quality to be a primary camera for years to come and likely won't ever be obsolete.

Take the Journey . . .
Yes , I'm delighted that I choose the Nikon D700 for my shooting adventures. I have been on a great ride with this camera for quiet some time shooting portraits , group shots , landscapes , flowers , etc. It has rendered me some great lifetime memories
with great color , sharpness , etc.
I highly recommend this product.
March 14, 2012
Great design and reasonable price
Super camera for events and weddings. However, the D700 is only great when match with quality lenses and a good photographer. Ir responds well under any difficult circumstances.
March 14, 2012
balanced opinion
quite satisfied but it is log from wygwys you have to think that you get more n your photo than what you see in the visor
the gummi cover for the usb plugs and others does not fit after one or two years
the rounded button at the right of the screen is not accurate when you push it to get the next image on the screen you get the RGB diiagram !

This Camera Sees in the Dark
My D700 has changed my photography habits. Flash is almost never necessary, giving indoor photography a wonderful new natural look. Just crank us the ISO to get a shutter speed you can handle and you're set. As usual with Nikon, colors are natural and strong. Plus it handles so well.
March 14, 2012
Incredible Camera
The Nikon D700 is one of the best cameras I have ever used. It is incredible. It's low light capability has helped me achieve photographs that where impossible before I got the D700. I also love all the features the camera has. You can really tell that the engineering that went into this camera is second to none. If you plan on using long heavy lenses such as the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 get the additional grip. It helps balance the D700. I highly highly absolutely recommend this camera to everyone.

My D700 loves the Antarctic
I recently returned from Antarctica and used my D700 for shooting mainly nature shots. I bracketed my shots and a little additional Photoshop work, as necessary. Fortunately, the days were bright and my stuff really has some bounce. I use my camera for vacation shots only.
I find it is easy to use and and was a natural progression from earlier Nikon DSLR cameras.
I travel with confidence that my material would be what I observed on the trip. The "full frame"
pick-up device makes my prints of very good quality.
March 14, 2012
D700 is Excellent
I upgraded from a Nikon D70 which was a fantastic camera, but the D700 allows me to take much better indoor basketball shots. I can stop the action in low light conditions and still have an excellent picture. I am still learning all the features of the camera, and I am excited to get to the next level. I highly recommend the D700.
March 14, 2012
Solid
Great camera. The only thing that bugs me is the size and weight. If this was the size of an old Pentax ME, It would be all I need for the rest of my life.
March 14, 2012
Versatile and reliable
Well... I guess I'll start by describing myself as an "experienced amateur". I have had my D700 since the day it came out, which the versatility of having the high ISO capability really sold me from the get-go. I have taken about 60K photos so far on this camera (don't really know the actual shutter count), and have never had a problem with the camera.
I have done events, products, portraits, and even a few weddings... when paired with the right lenses it has always done the job where my friend was having a hard time to do due to focusing issues (not gonna name the brand/model of the camera... take a guess :) ). It definitely helps having a nice solid product behind my back, in the few times that people rely on me for getting some photos done.
One thing I do want to note is that the soft rubber grip tend to stretch and fall off after about a year and half of use. They're easily replaceable though.
March 14, 2012
Exceptional
This is a machine with very intelligent brain, very good in low light, fast AF, usable ISO till 6400, superb image quality all in one compact dslr.
March 14, 2012
Best Digital Camera for the money that Nikon has made!!
I thought the D200 was a pretty good camera until I got the D700 a few years back (right after it came available). I have done many, many HS Senior portraits (studio and location) and I have to say this camera is killer dependable!! Colors, clairty, etc.....beyond what I expected.....AND the ISO!!!! I have photographed a lot of seniors AT NIGHT in a creek with street lights in background (500 feet away)...using ISO 3500 and a "whisper" of light with the SB 900.....clean as a whistle at this ISO....un-freaking believable!!!
HIGHLY recommend this camera....wish I could sell a couple of other camera bodies and get a second D700!!!
March 14, 2012
Great
SIMPLY A great camera and with the battery grip it is Fantastic !

I love my D700
I am no pro when it comes to photography. However I take about 10,000 pictures a year. For fun and family.
I started with a point and shoot and purchased my first SLR a D100 when they first came out. It was a great camers so I upgraded to my D700. It shoots great pictures, is very easy to learn and use and it is as tough as nails. I ride a motorcycle all summer long, I have dropped the camera while moving, stopped and picked it and took pictures, no problems. It works great in low light with or without flash. This camera makes a hack like me look like a pro and the pictures I shoot always look as good as the pro's and a lot of times better. I took picture at both my daughters wedding as well as dozens of events and I hear it all the time. WOW! these photo's are better then the professional we hired. I am so happy with my D700 I am keeping it and ordering a D800 as soon as they release.
March 14, 2012
VERY FEW FLAWS
The D700 is a terrific camera for just about all my needs. As a 35 year commercial pro, I find this camera to possess excellent resolution and color quality. I also partner with my daughter in our wedding photography start-up and rent an identical D700 for her. The reason that I mention my daughter is that she is an art teacher and not technologically gifted . I find that this camera, when PRESET for her, is reasonably easy to use in the varying conditions that we encounter.
My complaints are few and minor. I wish the audible focus beep was louder. I would like ISOs that get down to perhaps 25. Better low light focusing would be my strongest desire.
March 14, 2012
great full frame camera
i shoot with pc lenses of whicjh i have 4, so i need full frame camera- this is perfect, sharp, good tone, etc my publisher is also quite happy with the files
March 14, 2012
Outstanding fx at a great price
Moved up from d300 and stopped using my m4 since I hit the d700! Love it for flexible shooting situations. Taking 20k pictures a year and it keeps handling the environment. From Iceland to India and everywhere in between!
And great macro ofmy orchids too!
March 14, 2012
Wonderful, Wonderful Camera but One Serious Flaw
Love my D700, I have two of them, they have been great except for one rather serious flaw. The construction of the hot shoe is not rugged enough to handle the weight of having a SB900 perched on top on long days of shooting weddings. I have had to replace my hot shoe on one body twice and on the other one once. Each time the repair bill has been roughly $285.00. This is a serious design flaw that I hope Nikon has fixed with the D800. I have not had this problem on my two D3.
March 14, 2012
Fantastic camera
This is the camera that really helped remove some of the restrictions that digital photography has had for many years. Everything about it, is amazing. The quick autofocus system, the amazing low-light performance, its incredible strength, and the ability to shoot in any weather has won me over and over time again. This camera will never leave my hands and helped me fall in love with photography again.
Having said that, there are 2 main issues I'd like to see fixed on newer cameras - a button to manually unlock the M/S/C focus selector (similar to the lock-button on the top left of the camera that prevents you from changing your shots from single to burst/live-mode) because I always bumped it when grabbing my camera and it's frustrating to accidentley knock it over to Manual.
The other thing would be a sturdier flash mount. I think the metal was too thin up there and they'd gradually lose contact with the flashes, esp considering how much bigger and heavier the flashes have become, I hope newer models make this a lot stronger.
Otherwise...best camera I've ever owned. It has made me a Nikon shooter for life.
March 14, 2012
Great low light camera. Superb picture quality!
Have used the D700 for more than 2 years and continue to be impressed with picture quality and especially high ISO performance. Use predominantly with Nikon 24-70 mm, combination of the camera and lens continues to amaze me.

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.
