The Nikon D700 DSLR was Nikon's first full frame sensor camera body. This camera's image quality is superb and the camera is still relevant today. With its 12 megapixel sensor, I have printed images that are 24" 36" with virtually no loss in resolution, as is the case of the photo below off a mosque in Instanbul, Turkey

Just recently picked up the D700 used and didn't know what I had been missing. I can shoot at FX format or if I want some longer legs I can shoot the DX format. rarely use the flash anymore. Can shoot beautiful ISO 3200 shots with my 80-400mm AF-D VR at high shutter speeds (+1/1000). Don't really need the VR at those shutter speeds. Summed up: Great camera with lots of life left.

Bought mine new in June 2011, it's been drop, it's tumbled down a mountain side, left out in the sun to the point that the rubber base on the MB-D10 distorted, withstood me slipping on black ice camera first onto concrete - WORKS PERFECTLY!!! This is the digital version of the infamous FM / FM2! Can't say enough good things about the D700.

Don't even know where to start from .. I got this camera back when it came out for 3000$. The D700 is THE PERFECT camera in my opinion. Everything else is practically identical. D700 has GREAT iso and pure greatness at colors. The MPs are more than enough, except you want to print posters or oversized photos. The D700 is a professional camera, built like a tank, with an extraordinary body and it has great feel in my hands. Having worked with D3 as well, I find the D700 to be a D3, without the battery pack. Sorry rich guys, the 108.000 iso etc are just for boasting. If you are not interested in shooting at 10 frames per second, then the D700 is the greatest camera pick you could make, even as for today (17/3/2014). Great image quality, great colors, great iso performance ... all that you can ask for !! If you are also interested for speed from time to time, the D700 with the right tweaking and the battery pack can go up to 8-9 frames per second ! Also, what amazes me the most is that it has incredible autofocus mechanics ... For me the D700 a better camera than the D600 and D800 ... If you want to work professionally 12-16MP is the pixels you will be asking for .. Working seriously means you will have to transfer files fast and work with them smoothly; forget doing this with the immensely large files of D800. As said above, if you are not shooting with the intention to print in huge scales, the 36MPs of the D800 will mean completely nothing. I find the D700 superior to the D600 and D800 for the following reasons : The D700 has (in my opinion) much greater colors, better AF system combined with controls which have been replaced in the newest cameras. So, for me, I could say without a doubt that Nikon's 3 best cameras are the D4, D3 and D700 at this moment !! Having shot with all of them, I chose to own the D700 and I have to say that I haven't found yet a reason to replace this camera ! Probably, only if the D5 comes out, my D700 is going to be replaced, but never forgotten or not used ! Keep in mind that this camera is a BEAST. It's ergonomics are amazing, great analogic controls and great feel, combined with a body that is full metal strong (1kg).There's nothing to NOT like on this camera. I have been using it for professional and serious purposes since the day I acquired it and it's just an amazing piece! Using the D700 with great lenses like the 14-24 f2.8 or the 70-200 f2.8 VRII or the gem-lens 28mm AI-s, is what I call greatness redefined ! Marvelous, astounding photos ! Don't know if you can find her brand new right now, but if you can there's one thing I can say for sure .. GET IT ! So yes, I gotta say that it's the greatest piece of photography gear I have ever used and owned !!

I've been using Nikon since around '74 or so and purchased my first digital a year ago. A D2x which is a great camera at ISOs up to around 400. I wanted to take advantage of my FX lenses especially the wide angle ones and have better low light performance. The D 700 delivers. a nice size, enough weight to stabilize long lenses hand held, but not so heavy it causes fatigue carrying it around all day. I read the complaints about the hot shoe, but I learned way back in the '70s not to put a big honking speed light on a hot shoe, use a bracket and there are no problems. Pros: build quality, weather sealing, size and feel. Focus is fast and accurate. works with all my older AF Nikors as well as my AI/AIS manual focus lenses. Cons; None that I've found. In short the D700 delivers what you expect from a Nikon

I have had the D700 for two years now, and it has been a wonderful camera. I travel alot and this fits perfectly with me. I have taken it to Canada, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Germany without any hiccups. The performance is phenomenal, the autofocus is fast and precise and even though it only has 12.1 megapixels it produces great looking, extremely enlargeable pictures. I will only purchase a new camera when this one fails to meet my expectations. It been two years and she's still going strong! Thanks Nikon for the Best Camera I've ever owned! Nikon for Life!

I bought this D700 to replace my D2X for a year after spend lots and lots of hours read and compare it with its brother D3 or its competitor the Canon 5D Mark II. I never regret my choice of excellent image quality and perfect built quality of this monster.

I have owned and used two D700 bodies since 2008. Even today I have D4 and D800 in my bag, D700 still never fails to do a fine job. The only issue is that its rubber grip materials needs to be glued once in a while. Both of my D700 bodies have been sent back to Nikon for grip replacements a few times. Here is a low-light image captured recently with D700 at f/3.5 1/500 ISO 12800

I use it very often in low light (6400 ISO): beautiful raw shots in all difficult situations. Lovely camera in a pros system that cover all what you need. I have been a "Nikonist" since 1968 (F) with great satisfaction!

Not sure what I can say other than this camera fits my needs perfectly well. I didn't purchase a D3 because of cost and because of the D700. This camera show great colors, photos exactly what you see and works well with my other Nikon lens'. I had a D300 as my backup and it was not good enough to use when I needed two cameras strapped to me, so I purchased another D700.

We are primarily wedding photographers and it works great in low light situations. This is our second D700. Nothing else compares!!

I make my living as a photographer and I'm a member of NPS as well as ASMP The image quality is great. The noise is great. I can shoot at high ISO and the noise level is minimal. The auto focus is slow. My D 300 wins every time. Doesn't work well with my SB 800 flashes. My D 300 works well with the SB 800. It's been back to Nikon 4 times for the auto focus, poor flash performance, poor color quality. I just got tired of sending it in for repair. Been using it as a backup for my D300. It's performance has improved a bit with the new firmware upgrade, but overall I would avoid the D 700. Perhaps mine is just a lemon and the rest are great.

The D700 is a great camera only limited by the glass you use with it. The files produced are suitable for full page ads and I've enlarged them to 22" wide with great results. And people photography, I find the skin tones are very good. I recently purchased the D800 with the idea of making larger personal prints. And after using the D800 a number of times, I'm still impressed with my D700. It just produces great files. Even high end architectural photographs look beautiful at 800 ISO. The D700 still has a worm place in my camera bag.

I love this camera.... The speed and clarity is spot on. The only thing that needs a little work is the AF.

I shoot alongside other photographers at events ranging from local T-ball to NCAA Division 1 to NASCAR to PGA etc. etc. While I like to drool over some of their cutting edge gear and fantasize about hitting the lottery and going on a major shopping spree, in reality, I can not think of a good reason to trade in my loyal companions, a pair of four year old D700's. I don't pamper my equipment. In fact I shoot a ton of dirt track racing where the dust can get so thick I wear goggles and a dust mask and have to leave my clothes on the porch for a good dust off before putting them in the washer. But after hundreds of thousands of shots in that environment the D700's have never needed anything more than routine, annual clean and checks. On top of that, shooting at iso 6400 and 1/200th to get the right exposure still leaves room for a touch of unsharp mask in post processing. After four years that still amazes me.

The D700 is without a doubt the most versitile all around camera I have ever used! It produces the BEST LOW LIGHT photography with the best resolution. My accessory lighting gathers dust because i seldom use it because this camera does a superb job without the addition of artificial light. I have used this camera under all types of light and it is outstanding. This FX produces the absolute best resolution with great speed for anything from extreme sports to landscape.

The D700 has all the features a serious enthusiat needs. Focus response, fast shutter speeds, silky smooth portraits, outstanding low light capability, the list goes on. Even with the new models out the D700 still is unsurpassed in quality professional photos.

I kept this excellent camera when purchasing my new D800, which focuses to different points depending on whether the left, center, or right focus points are used. Good thing, since Nikon does not seem to recognize that many people are disappointed with trhe D800 and has no substantitave fix for the problem.

Best camera ever owned, I was looking for a full frame (FX) camera and the D 700 fit perfectly. I am very impressed with the functions laid out, high ISO performance and the continuous shutter speed. The picture quality is excellent.

I am a retired armature photographer with a desire to take good pictures. The pictures I take are primarily in two areas: family and landscape. I transitioned from Canon to Nikon when the full frame technology became a reasonable purchase for a person of my ability and need. Over time I purchased all three 2.8 Nikkor lenses. I have taken some outstanding pictures with the 12 to 24MM and 70 to 200MM lenses but the bulk of the pictures I take are with the 24 to 70MM lens. If I were making the purchase today the first lens I would buy would be the 24 to 70MM lens. The on board data base is extensive but cumbersome to drive from the camera controls. This is probably true for all cameras at this level. It would be very supportive of the customer base if a PC/iPAD based, user friendly, operations system was supplied with the initial purchase to facilitate training, display and update of the shooting and custom data banks. For a new user of the D700 I would recommend purchasing the D700 e-book documentation by Thom Hogan. Bottom line, I would buy the D700 again.

The D700 is far superior to my previous camera - the D7000. Even after sending in the D7000 to Nikon to address focusing issues, and fine tuning the focus on my lenses (premium glass like the 85 1.4), the hit/miss rate on the D7000 was sorely disappointing. My keeper ratio with the D700 is extremely high (i tuned my lenses) in terms of focus. It rocks! Yes it is only 12 megapixels; i don't make prints that require more megapixels. But i'll take 12 megapixels of beautiful, spot-on focus over 16 or 32 megapixels of soft stuff anyday. If money permits, i'll buy another one i am so happy.

Simply put, I LOVE. This camera. I have used this camera in many adverse conditions throughout the state of Florida, California, Utah and many other states where climate conditions can vary from extremely wet, cold and windy. The body is extremely durable and weatherized to deal with virtually every condition. The features and functionality are very easy to use and navigate through. I am able to vary my custom settings to any situation on the fly. I highly recommend the D700 to anyone who enjoys photography and professional reliable quality camera body.

I was fortunate enough to get one of the first 500 of this camera made. I absolutely love it! I love the clarity, how it feels in my hands and the ability to shoot hand held with the ISO dialed up and still get a nice image. I'm not a technical person. I don't get into all the hows and so on. I'm a very creative person and I can't always tell you what settings I used on an image but what I can tell you is that they turn out and although I realized it's not just the camera, I believe the camera and I are a team and with my creativity and Nikon's D700 technology we do some pretty amazing things.
