Digital camera Review: D700 ROCKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
HAVING A D300, AND LOOKING FOR BETTER AF FOR BIRDING, AND BETTER LOW ISO CAPABILITY FOR SPORTS, I BOUGHT THE D700. I WAS ON THE FENCE, HAVING WANTED NIKON TO RELEASE A BETTER DX MODEL WITH BETTER LOW LIGHTING ISO AND AF, BUT GOT TIRED OF WAITING. BOUGHT D700, AND HAVNE'T LOOK BACK.
PICS OF D700 ARE AMAZING, WITH BETTER RESOLUTION, AND FASTER FOCUSING THAN D300, WHICH IS A GREAT CAMERA AS WELL. FPR BIRDING/SPORTS, WITH ADEQUATE LIGHT.
BUT, FOR SPORTS IN LOW LIGHT (FOOOTBALL AT NITE, ETC OR BIRDS IN FLIGHT,ETC) YOU CANNOT BEAT THE D700!!
AND FOR PORTRAITS, AND LOW LIGHTING EVENTS (CONCERTS, AND WIDE ANGLE PHOTOGRAPHY, LANDCAPES, SUNSETS), FULL FRAME IS FANTASTIC!!
Digital camera Review: D700 Review for D300 Owners
Summary: 5 Stars
I owned a D70, D200 and D300 prior to upgrading to the D700. Each time I upgraded previously it was based on a review by a professional reviewer, on line or in a journal. And each time I was disappointed, especially after the D200 to D300 upgrade which I found to be a $1600 non-event. (Which is not to say that I did not like the D300, I just did not find it $1,600 better than the D200). When Nikon came out with the D700, the hype smelled like the D300 hype and I decided not to upgrade and save my money. That was until I ran into a gentleman shooting with a D700 in Shenandoah National Park. After talking with him and looking at the images he had captured, I decided to take a chance and all I can say is what a difference. The image quality with this camera is phenomenal, especially in low light situations. I am out frequently in the hours just before dawn to capture wild life shots, with the D300 "chrominence or noise" was always a problem, even at relatively lower ISOs. Not with the D700, it does a superb job in both low light and high contrast situations. There is virtually no noise in images taken under less than optimal conditions. Autofocus is quick, image quality - clarity, sharpness, color are all superior. The difference between this camera and the D300 is defintely worth the price.Digital camera Review: D700 heaven
Summary: 5 Stars
I would give the D700 six stars if I could. What a camera! If you are thinking of making the move, and shoot a lot of low light stuff, this is the unit. I couldn't afford a D3, then came D700, and I am now in heaven on earth. I also own a D300, a great cam in its own right, but the D700 is in a class by itself.Digital camera Review: D700 is everything that they say it is

I have been shooting semi-pro for the last 2 years, and have used the D80, the D300, and now use the D700 as my primary camera. If you are looking for a professional camera, but don't want to pay the price for the D3, get this camera. It's FX format digital sensor means you actually get the most use out of your wide angle lens. Plus, because of the size of the senor, you get much much better noise management. How much better? Well, I took it out of the box, attached my 80-200mm f2.8 (non vibration reduction mind you) braced myself and took a shot at ISO 2500, in a dark room with only the tv on as lighting. The picture was taken at 1/40th at f/2.8, and as I zoomed in to see how bad the noise was going to be I actually gasped!!! There was some, yes, but nothing that any rudimentary noise reduction software couldn't fix. We're talking minimal. The reason for the excitement? I had been shooting weddings in dark churches at ISO 1600 with my D300, wishing that I could eak out more light without all the noise. With this camera I can! The last wedding I shot was in a darkly lit church and I rarely dropped below ISO 800 (and actually shot at 1600 the majority of the time with no ill effect). This camera is truly remarkable. If you shoot a lot of low light, don't want to use flash, and want to be able to get really wide angle shots, then this is a camera you absolutely have to consider. If you shoot outdoors all the time, use a lot of flash, or shoot a lot of wildlife (birding or big-game type stuff) this isn't the camera for you. The FX sensor means your 200mm zoom really only goes to 200mm instead of the 300mm that DX users are used to. That means that if you need serious length you have to buy longer and longer lenses and these can get really pricey.
If you are looking for the perfect "run after your kids", professional, great for landscapes and fine art, and superb for photo-journalistic and event photography camera, then this is what you are looking for.
