Nikon D700
Photographers who loved the Nikon D3 or D300 are going to be equally pleased with the Nikon D700. It's Nikon's effort to present a compact digital professional model for digital photography. It's designed to outpace other brands of photographic equipment. It has a smaller body and weighs less than previous models. The D700 is approx 34mm (1.3 in) shorter, 13mm (0.5 in) narrower and 10mm (0.4 in) shallower. Weight (with no battery) comparisons: D3 - 1240g, D700 - 995g. Also, the Nikon 700 has a 0.72x viewfinder. With a 12.1 mp full frame, an ISO 200-6400 with boost up to 25600, down to ISO 100, this is truly state-of-the-art. It supports DX lenses of 5.1 megapixels and has an ultra fast start-up and shutter lag. The shutter is the same as the D3 model at a 150,000 cycle rating. Photographers will like the 100 frames maximum in continuous shooting mode. The sensor is 36 x 23.9 mm.
The Nikon D700 is loaded with image sensing cleaning. Like the D300, the Nikon D700 has a self-cleaning filter and "Dust Off" feature. The D700 also has a 14-bit A/D conversion, 12 channel readout. It's built with Nikon Expeed. The D700, due to its larger sensors, makes this model slightly more expensive than the D3 but about half the price of a D300. For serious digitial photographers, the D700 offers compact convenience and state-of-the-art features and is definitely the way to go.
