D700 has clean ISO at 6400

Strengths: High ISO with clear picture and no noise

Weakness: A little big

But small compared to the D3. A real gem for indoor work. You can get 1/500 or 1/1000 at 2.8 at 200mm. Nice clear viewfinder. Will use all lenses made by Nikon since the 70's.

This is comparable to N90s digital replacement

Strengths: FX(fullframe/no lens magnifying factor), High usable ISO till 6400, low noise, good frame rate,

Weakness: Flash exposure issues with flash, shutter, aperture setting. Color setting is too contrasty. Awkward combination of LCD, push buttons and dial controls(I don't like the layout)

After having used F4 shooting film for so long holding D700 seemed like it would work, but so far it's been a struggle. My SB25 flash got stuck, the exposure was rarely what I wanted, and hard to correct. It seems like there's more options, but none of them are of much use. The button lay out makes me hold the camera in a weird way(eg, the AE lock makes me stretch out my thumb way too far to hold...

After having used F4 shooting film for so long holding D700 seemed like it would work, but so far it's been a struggle. My SB25 flash got stuck, the exposure was rarely what I wanted, and hard to correct. It seems like there's more options, but none of them are of much use. The button lay out makes me hold the camera in a weird way(eg, the AE lock makes me stretch out my thumb way too far to hold the camera steady.)

Exposure issues: Incorrect colors(too punchy/too contrasty
), problem with shutter & flash control(can't seem to set the shutter to descent speed to keep the background exposed to give good ambiance),

I'm using the D lens and it takes a while to focus. F4 was much faster, and the view finder was brighter, and easier to see for manual focusing. So far the D700 promised a lot of high end features, but seems to fail on delivering the basic stuff that I rely on so much.

The best thing about this product so far is that it's giving me the use of my full line of non-DX lens. I've got to take this to work in a couple of days, and it's making me a bit concerned, wish me luck!

Nikon D700 (body only)

THE GOOD: Excellent photo quality as high as ISO 6,400; fast focus and shooting, even in low light; first-rate build quality and control layout. THE BAD: Relatively heavy; low resolution for its class; viewfinder only provides 95 percent coverage and lacks interchangeable focusing screens; occasional issues with automatic white balance under artificial light. THE BOTTOM LINE: As long as you dont...
