Comments : Everything was good with Adorama, the only thing that was bad, UPS shipping, box was badly damage and the top was half opened, that is why I took off a star. Something needs to be done with UPS--companies need to start contacting UPS higher up in the company about the bad shipping of items. / 2010-09-08T22:12+0000

Product Descriptions from Manufacturer


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 Nikon’s 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, Nikon’s 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 Nikon’s sophisticated Scene Recognition System and a new active dust reduction system.

Nikon’s 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.

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Highlights

The legendary Nikon FX-Format CMOS sensor The D700’s 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor provides exceptional image quality throughout its remarkable ISO sensitivity range. A large pixel size of 8.45 µm allows for an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic range. The 12-channel readout enables accelerated information transfer, allowing the D700 to shoot at speeds of up to eight frames per second at full resolution (using the optional MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack) and quickly write image data onto the CompactFlash card.

The D700 offers a versatile base ISO range from 200-6400 but can be expanded to range from ISO 100 (Lo-1) to 25,600 (Hi-2) affording photographers the new-found confidence to shoot in the widest variety of lighting conditions from the brightest midday sun to dim interiors. Images previously thought to be impossible to create without complex lighting set-ups or lengthy post-processing are now captured easily and faithfully with the D700, unleashing new and diverse shooting possibilities.

Also new to the D700 is Nikon’s first self-cleaning system designed for the FX-format sensor. Utilizing four distinct vibration frequencies, the D700 frees image degrading dust particles from the sensor’s optical low-pass filter at start-up, shut-down or on demand. As an added benefit, the mirror box and entire shutter mechanism are constructed of materials that resist creating debris that can affect image purity.

Fastest speed and autofocus in its class The D700 starts up in a mere 0.12 seconds and has a nearly imperceptible shutter-lag response time of 0.40 milliseconds, making this an extraordinarily responsive tool for the demanding photographer. The D700 can record full-resolution JPEG images at an astounding five frames per second (fps), or eight fps with the optional MB-D10 battery pack for up to 100 images, or up to 17 lossless 14-bit Nikon NEF (RAW) files. To write images efficiently, the Nikon D700 is also compliant with the next-generation of high-speed UDMA CompactFlash cards that will enable recording speeds up to 35 megabytes/second.

The D700 offers one of the fastest and most accurate advanced AF systems on the market today. Nikon’s Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module features 51 AF points and the ability to use 3D tracking to focus and lock-on a moving subject. The 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors can be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single Area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either 9, 21 or all 51 focus points. The system also features 3D Focus Tracking with automatic focus point switching that takes advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses scene color content and light information to accurately track the subject.

Intelligent features for sophisticated performance The D700 relies on a wealth of innovative Nikon technologies to help photographers create superb images. Nikon’s Scene Recognition System analyzes information from the 1,005-pixel RGB light sensor for use in auto exposure, auto white balance and autofocus calculations. The Scene Recognition System also assists autofocus by tracking subject position and automatically shifts the AF points used to match the subject’s movement within the frame. This system also contributes to higher accuracy of auto exposure and auto white balance detection, resulting in sharp landscapes, flattering portraits and engaging action shots.

Photographers also have the option to enhance their pictures during or after capture with the Picture Control System and Active D-Lighting. Nikon’s Picture Control System enables users to adjust their images to pre-set parameters such as Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome that apply tweaks to image sharpening, tone compensation, brightness, overall tone and saturation. D-Lighting uses localized tone control technology to further optimize highlight and shadow detail while also maintaining natural contrast, giving photographers the ability to capture more perfectly exposed images, even in unusual lighting conditions. Active D-Lighting lets photographers choose from various intensities during capture, while a new Automatic mode also applies varying levels of D-Lighting as, and when needed, to enhance photos while shooting.

Enhanced Live View modes and viewfinder Ideal for studio, remote applications and more, Nikon’s Live View allows the photographer to compose the subject on the bright three-inch, TFT LCD monitor. In Handheld mode, the user is able to recompose the frame prior to actual shooting; familiar TTL phase-detection AF is activated, using all 51 AF points. Tripod mode is designed for precise focus accuracy with still subjects and tripod stabilization. It enables focal-plane contrast-detect AF on a desired point within a specific area. Remote view, focusing and shooting can also be controlled from a PC (via connection or wireless) using the optional Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 software. Additionally, the Virtual Horizon feature on the D700 can now be superimposed over the Live View monitor image to aid composition.

While using Live View to compose or review images and settings, users will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 920,000-dot VGA, three-inch TFT LCD monitor with tempered glass that provides a wide 170-degree viewing angle. The large monitor is remarkably effective when confirming the focus with enlarged playback images. The camera also outputs a video signal to an HD television using the new smaller HDMI-C standard, which is an excellent solution for workshop demonstrations or shooting tethered for clients.

Photographers will also be able to compose images easily using the wide and bright viewfinder that features an eye-level pentaprism with high refraction index and provides a 95-percent frame coverage with 0.72x magnification. Each of the 51 AF points, as well as a framing grid, can also be superimposed on the finder screen to suit the photographer’s personal preferences.

Rugged construction and durability High-strength magnesium alloy is used for the construction of the camera body, rear body and mirror box to create a precision platform, reduce weight and provide rugged durability. The camera is tested to stand up to the rigors of the globetrotting photographer and is weather sealed using precision O-rings where connections are made to effectively combat dust and moisture.

The shutter unit employs an assembly made of a new composite carbon fiber and Kevlar hybrid material. Tested on fully assembled cameras, the D700’s shutter unit has been proven through 150,000 cycles under demanding conditions. The self-diagnostic shutter constantly monitors and maintains shutter precision to ensure peak performance.

I just got this camera, and I've been using my 50mm 1.4 lens with it (I mainly shoot portraits), and these two combined are AMAZING! The pictures come out so clear. I love it. Can't wait to invest in some high quality glass! Definitely worth the money. I don't think this camera will ever let me down. :) The full frame also makes a big difference. ISO capabilities are incredible!

Photographers have always thought that putting your money in good glass is the best investment since cameras bodies wear out or get outdated more quickly. The thing is that as sensors improve and ISO increases, one can use lighter and cheaper lenses with a smaller f-stop and still get good results. This camera is a good example. What I am saying is buy this camera even if you won't have too much money left for expensive lenses. It will give you more bang for the buck than buying a DX camera and putting the extra money in good glass. Just my opinion.

I am writing this review as a D90 owner and a (small) photography business owner.

As a photography business, low-light weddings are the rule, not the exception. So I sold all my belongings, along with a few small exotic animals and upgraded from a still amazing D90 to this amazing piece of machinery. Yeah, 2k is a lot of money to drop on a camera that will be obsolete in about 5 years, but if you do low light photography there is nothing in this price range that can compete... or even comes close to trying to compete. Add on any of Nikon's 1.4 prime lenses, or a 2.8 zoom (I use the 24-70 which is a jaw dropper) and see if you can ever go back to anything else. Coming from the D90, the biggest pluses are the low noise at high ISO, and the blazing-fast AF that is an absolute game changer (especially with the 24-70, the combination is just sick, with far fewer out-of-focus pictures or plain ol' missed shots).

You know the specs by now. Sony and Canon make great stuff too, but Nikon has them all beat in fit, finish, and feel IMO... and high ISO/low noise and blistering Auto Focus. No, it doesn't have video, but neither does my toaster... but oddly enough, my video camera does. Hmmm... That being said, I am loving the Interval option to make stop motion video. Fun stuff.

I love having my D90 (which now feels amazingly compact in comparison) to take with me on riskier ventures, and the D700 to take on photo sessions and personal shoots. If the rumored D95 comes out soon, I can't imagine me (my business) needing much more than the 700 and either one (or both) of those guys, with a selection of FX-friendly lenses, and a few SB 600/900s.

Bottom line: if you are out of debt (thanks Dave Ramsey), have the available funds (even if it's juuuuust barely enough), and need a disturbingly amazing low-light camera, get the D700. If any of those things don't apply to you, the D90 (or its successor) is outstanding too, for about $1.5k less.

This is an excellent, high caliber camera. It's as simple as that.

Many people who have used and/or owned the D300, which is also an excellent camera feel that this is a step up. Eagles and falcons - two very different things. The D300 and the D700 work well together, like an eagle and eaglet. The D300 has low noise issues and the D700 has the clearer images and wide angle feature working in its favor. Both cameras are 12MP. The D700 is an FX sensor, which is a full frame whereas the D300 is DX. If you want to shoot pictures without using the flash in low light, you can do so with the 1.4 lens at 1600 ISO! You can also count on getting good close ups and good portraits as well.

If you are serious about shooting wide angle, then you want this camera. Compatible lenses are also an issue and you can spend up to $5000.00 for acoutrements, such as lenses for this camera. Since lenses tend to be more durable than the camera overall, they can be costly.

You can get away with 2 DX lenses for the D300. One drawback the D300 has is a possible tendency to overexposure. The D700 is a definite upgrade with regard to picture quality and versatility. Again, you will want to buy DX lenses. If you decide to go with the D700, make sure you have back up memory cards as added insurance. You can use the D300 as well as the D700 to write images on more than one card. The one thing this camera doesn't have is a video component. Another point in the D700's favor is that the D700 has a much better battery. If you get Portrait Expo Discs, you can count on shooting some very nice portraits.
