The Nikon D700 was once the flagship of the Serious amateur/professional range. Next to the D3 this camera has the same sensor and processor as their top of the line camera. The photos it can capture are amazing. It does low light well, and flash photography well. The all magnesium frame make this one tough camera! The weather sealed body makes for the occasional shower while out taking photos no big deal. Nikons lenses are legendary and many of the older AF lenses give tack sharp images at very attractive prices. The 12.1 megapixel (more than enough believe it or not) D700 is now at a price point that is very attractive. The learning curve to use this cameras many features is short, especially if you have used a D300 in the past. I love this cameras easy handling, toughness and image quality.Read full review

Although this is a 12 megapixel camera, most photographers will agree that the megapixel war has ended. A great camera is about so much more than lots of megapixels. This is a full frame camera, which means, the available megapixels are larger, and also means more light reaches the sensor. Less megapixels also means the camera can hold more photos, and post processing and storing files is a breeze. The D700 is build like a tank, it's a real workhorse that's built to last. They don't make cameras like this anymore! The D700 is known to go well beyond the quoted 150k shutter life. This camera is also full of pro features, it does not have all of the scene modes that you see on entry level cameras, and it makes using your camera in manual mode so much easier with the white balance and ISO buttons right on the top dial. I found learning to use it went very fast and it is an easy transition to anyone who has been using their camera in manual. There is just a certain magic about the D700 that makes it shine above other cameras. The photos just pop with lifelike color and contrast. It also holds well against todays cameras as far as low light photography is concerned with low noise at high ISO ( a respectable 2,303 ISO) and when you add the battery grip and upgraded battery, you can shoot at a blazing 8 frames per second! At an average of only $800 USD, you just can't beat what the Nikon D700 has to offer. Down sides to this camera are that it is pretty loud and heavy, and does not have video, but none of those are things that bother me. Read full review

The first thing I notice was this is much larger of a camera than I was used to. Started out with a 50mm f1.4d lense. Wow! The colors pop! The image quality is nothing that I have seen. No wonder this is still a popular camera. I captured a little buck in my yard with a 180mm ED lense with a rokunor 2x converter. That was my first wildlife capture. I am very happy with my purchase. This camera seems like it was built to last. Also seems like it would be easy to service. It is definitely a pro camera!

My first full frame camera and with the 50 mm 1.8 best budget professional starter kit . What i love with this camera is the amazing battery life , the colors !!! This professional body has the dials outside so for quick changes and also the light up screen to see your settings , Of course this camera is for those who master the (M) mode , if you master the light then you are ready my friend. And 12 megapixels?!?!?? If you get your composition right then those prints will be awesome even large ones Only bad thing how heavy is the body only, i do work out but not as bad ?

I haven't used an SLR since I put away my N80 film camera about 12 years ago. When the D300, and then the D700 came out, I knew it was the one I wanted, but it was cost prohibitive. Now that the D700 is 10+ years old, they are a great value, and I finally got my wish fulfilled. The D700 I found had relatively low (~7500) actuations, and was very clean. I put on my old lenses (~20 year old AF-S's) and was able to take fantastic photos once again. Just reading a few recommendations on the web, and I was able to set the camera to produce photos to my liking (a little under exposed, and more amber hues). My Samsung S7 takes some great shots, but now I have a single purpose camera that is so much more creative and fun to shoot.
