Abstrakt: Preview based on a pre-production Nikon D700 The introduction of Nikons new D700 may been one of the worst kept secrets in an industry with more leaks than the Titanic, but it was still something of a surprise coming so hot on the heels of the D3 and...
Abstrakt: The Nikon D700 is Nikons top new amateur camera. Its mostly a D300 with the larger FX sensor of the D3. Thus it has image quality mostly identical to the D3, but D300-class handling, which is a notch or two below the D3 for sports and action. The Ni...
Abstrakt: NIKON D700 REVIEW The never ending game of engineering and marketing "chess" between the top digital single-lens-reflex manufacturers can now add a King, Queen and Crown Prince line-up from Nikon. The king would be the Nikon D3, while the prince can be...
Abstrakt: Some Initial Thoughts on The Nikon D700 A Definite Spoiler, But of Whose Game? In Tokyo When I was in Tokyo earlier this year on an Asian speaking tour I met a friend for drinks one evening. He is a journalist and knowledgeable observer of the Japanes...
Hannah ThiemAfter the introduction of the D3, most of the speculations were that Nikon’s second FX-format DSLR would be a high-pixel-count camera in the 20+MP range to compete against Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III, $6550 (review). Another school of thought...

Full-frame sensor, smaller and lighter body than the D3, useful Live View, virtual horizon, comfortable to use
Slightly slower than the D3
If you’re already a D-SLR user, the next step up is a full-frame camera. Consider the D700 for its size and more competitive price compared to the top-of-the-line D3, as you won’t lose too much in the way of features and capabilities. ...
Like the D3 the D700 automatically detects DX lenses, which have a smaller exposure circle, and shows a crop rectangle in the viewfinder. You lose some pixels but you get a perfect picture. Images are noise free with wide dynamic range and beautiful to...
This is not a complaint, merely an observation. With a full frame sensor depth of field is reduced, by comparison with an APS sized sensor, for any given f stop. Closer attention needs to be paid of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Fortunately the sens...
Someone has calculated that for a digital camera to match the resolving power of film it needs to have 14 megapixels on a full frame sensor. If that is right then this camera comes close to the ideal. Like its close siblings, the D300 and the D3, the D...
Abstrakt: This 12-megapixel camera has an FX sensor (full 35 millimetre-film frame size) as used in the professional D3. The camera body is more akin to the DX (APS size sensor) D300, but without some of the touches such as extra dust and moisture sealing...
