Nikon D700
Reviewer: Pop Photo25 April 2009Canonites have been clamoring for a followup to the full-frame EOS 5D for nearly a year now and there have been heavy rumors of its imminent arrival dating back to October 2007. However, while we're still waiting on a 5D Mark II, Nikon has stepped up to the plate with the new FX format (aka full frame) D700. And, given that it carries over most of the important features of the D3, Canon is going to need to have a serious response if they don't want to fall behind in the... Read more

Reviewer: Dev Hardware15 April 2009
It's sometimes tempting to wonder just what pioneering photographers like Paul Strand and Ansel Adams would make of modern photographic equipment. They had to win their understanding of light and composition the hard way. Out in the field, often with only the most basic equipment, they managed to produce images that still possess the power to startle a modern audience. Read more

Nikon D700 review roundup
Reviewer: Engadget24 March 2009Now that the dust has settled on Nikon's new D700 DSLR -- but hopefully not on that anti-dust 12.1 megapixel full-frame sensor -- we thought we'd toss together a few general impressions of the new mid-range pro camera. It's pretty much a landslide, the D700 is a major winner for Nikon. Sure, $3,000 is pricey, but for a camera that basically crams the full-frame imaging prowess of the D3 into the highly portable body of the D300 -- and left out only a few pro features in...

Nikon D700 digital SLR camera At the time I called the D300 a smaller version of the D3, but the Nikon D700 s really worthy of that name. This is an honor indeed because the professional Nikon D3 is a fabulous DSLR camera. In any case, until the D3x was introduced, it was Canon's top model ever. The Nikon D700 easily fits in this line of superb DSLR cameras. I wasn't able to find a lot of disadvantages of this camera, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Nikon... Read more

Reviewer: The Star Online22 March 2009
So is the D700 any good? The answer is yes. With the best of what the D3 has to offer jammed into a body that’s a lot easier to carry around, there’s very little to complain about. While it’s not a great leap in terms of new software features, what Nikon has added or changed deals directly with a couple of the criticisms I had of both the D3 and D300. For example, Live View can now be assigned to another shortcut button instead of the shooting mode dial, thus... Read more

The best
Reviewer: W. T. Rogers, Amazon6 days ago See Product at Amazon ($2,999.00)- Overall 10
This one lives up to all the hype. I came out of a D200, and difference in image quality is immediately obvious. Of course, the move to FX comes with the ability to shoot with Nikon's pro lenses again, and the combo of the two gets you back to the kinds of images you remember from your film days. So ... the improvement is part camera, part lens upgrade ... but the results are just fantastic. Now I can use the same lenses for my D700 and my F4 body (backup) which makes... Read more

Terrible support cannot download pics to computer
Reviewer: Digitalcamera HQ21 May 2009- Overall 2
NEVER buy a NIkon product!!!!!!!!!!!! After hours of wasting time with tech support I was told to purchase a card reader to download pics to my computer. You would think if you purchased a $500 camera not including extras that Nikon would send you a card reader if they cannot fix their piece of crap camera. Tell your friends to avoid Nikon like the plague!!! Read more
