Product Description
The new D700 digital SLR camera featuring a 12.1-effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor that measures 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. Benefiting from Nikons legacy of imaging technology innovation, the D700 offers both advanced and professional photographers stunning image quality, accurate color reproduction and revolutionary low light performance.Building on the immense success of the Nikon D3 professional D-SLR camera, the D700 offers pro-level performance and an extensive array of features and innovations in a comfortably nimble platform. In addition to the Nikon-original FX-format CMOS sensor, the D700 incorporates Nikon's EXPEED Image Processing System, Nikons renowned 51-point auto focus system with 3D Focus Tracking and two Live View shooting modes that allow photographers to frame a shot using the camera's three-inch high-resolution LCD monitor. The D700 also features Nikons sophisticated Scene Recognition System and a new active dust reduction system.Nikons flagship FX and DX-format cameras, the D3 and D300 respectively, established new benchmarks for digital image quality, speed, and unmatched ISO performance. The D700 maintains this new measure with exceptional overall image quality, broad tonal range and depth, and extremely low noise throughout its native ISO range of 200 to 6400.

 Great camera! but no factory seal on brand new nikon boxes!!!! March 6, 2010

This review is not for the d700 itself but rather for the packaging of this expensive camera by nikon. I purchased the d700 from amazon and when it arrived, there was no Nikon factory sealing on the box. Anyone could have opened it, used it or did whatever they wanted with it and put it right back into the box and pass it off as brand new.
I called amazon and told them that I wanted a brand new box with a nikon seal on it. They said okay and sent me a second d700 with the same unsealed box. This time I actually charged the battery and turned the camera on. There was no welcome screen what so ever. Usually when buying brand new electronics, there will be a welcome screen to help up set up the device. Nothing of that nature appeared. It's as if the camera was previously used and ready to fire again on command.
I dont know if this problem lies with nikon or amazon but somebody has some explaining to do. the worst feeling a consumer could have is to pay almost 2500$ for a camera body that arrives to them without the absolute certainty of the item purchased being brand spanking new. very very dissappointing.
Secondly Amazon needs to pack the camera in a smaller box for delivery. it came in a box twice the size of the nikon box with big bubble wraps which did not prevent the d700 from tossing around in the big box. once again, this is a $2500 item, Amazon and Nikon needs to do everything it can to assure the customer that this item is brand spanking new when they hold it for the very first time in their hands.
update:
after some research at nikon's website, it clearly states:
When you switch on your Nikon camera for the first time, it will first display a language screen to select the native language for your camera menus, then display the date and time for you to set. The format of the date and time is so that it can be set for any region of the world. In some places of the world, the day, month, and year are displayed differently than other locations. In many parts of the world the date format is read:
I have requested amazon for a refund and am sending the second unit back. no more big ticket purchases from amazon. If anybody is looking for an excellent pro-review of this camera, go to [...]
90% of the D3 for half the money March 5, 2010
Christopher Aram (Powell, OH)
Nothing new or earth shattering to report in my own review - just that I already love the D700 as a backup to my D3 (I'm a wedding and portrait photographer.)
My only real gripe is the lack of dual card slots (even the D300 has them ... come on.) While the risk of flash card corruption is low when properly formatted and cared for, as a wedding photographer I personally feel compelled to shoot primarily with my D3 because it has dual card slots. I sleep much more easily at night. :)
This is an otherwise excellent camera and for the features (too many to list, but superior image quality/sensor, ease of use, comfortable ergonomics, highly customizable to name a few) its price makes it very attractive!
This camera is AWESOME! March 4, 2010
M. B. Thomas (St. Louis, MO)
There are seriously no words to describe how amazing this camera is. If you're on the fence, please believe me when I say this is the camera you want. I recieved it 3/2/10. It was surprisingly smaller than I thought it would be. The grip makes it a little more comfy in my hands. Now the only decision to make now is what lenses to get? Fast primes or 2.8 fixed zooms?...decisions, decisions! Without a doubt, great camera, low noise at high ISO's will blow your mind. you WON'T be disappointed.
Short and to the point March 3, 2010

Look I am assuming if your looking at this camera you don't need a lecture on its features or a basic outline of its every little button. So what you need is why should I buy this instead of something else. Well its an FX series camera. Which as an owner of a D200 I can tell you is a huge ...and I mean huge step up from your everyday Prosumer Digital. This means no mre 1.5 Focal length framing...it means you got a 12mm fisheye you get a 12mm fish eye. that simple. Be aware though thes units are of limited compatablility with Dx series lenses...so if your on the fence with a pile of dx lenses ...well its not for you...if you are like me and came over from 35mm to digital with a bag full of lenses....bingo...this is your camera...full frame, huge sensor...its like having that old 35mm back...
The Nikon D700 is Amazing March 3, 2010
J. Moro (Stratford, NJ USA)
I have been shooting with the Nikon D300 since 2008 and it was stolen in January 2010. I then ordered two D300s' which I returned and then purchased the D700. WOW. I am so happy I did that.
The camera is amazing. Nice weight, and heft. Even after i took my Zeikos (also purchased here) battery grip from the d300 and attached it to the 700. Sharpness wise, the D300 and D700 are on par. However, I have shot many events at high ISO upto 1600 with my D300. I wish I had had the D700. The images with the D700 are absolutely amazing whether at lower ISO's or higher.
Here is one of my test images shot at ISO 3200: [...]
Also on this blog are "philadelphia Flower Show" pictures that I shot at ISO's up to 3200. Check them out and you'll see none of the reviewers here are exaggerating when we say it's truly amazng.
The downside is I can no longer use my go-to lens the Nikon 18-200VR but I found in one of my boxes of "old"gear a Nikon 28-200AF-D lens that works beautifully, and a 50mm F1.8 For now, these two will do the job for me.
