Nikon D700

 

The full frame Nikon D700 covers a lot of bases and for the most part does it very well.

I'm sure there are some D3 and D300 owners who are cursing Nikon right now for bringing out a camera that combines the best of those two cameras for a relatively reasonable price. The three cameras should pretty much cover most people's needs, though...

Nikon D700 review

 

Nikon's new D700 features 12 million pixels and a full-frame sensor

LCD screen, Class-leading high-ISO performance, reliable AF

Not much, but 1kg ain't particularly light, and £2000 ain't particularly cheap

The D700 is the ultimate enthusiast's DSLR, offering class-leading performance across the board. If you've got the money, buy one immediately!

Nikon D700 review

 

Sitting between the enthusiast pleasing Nikon D300 and pro-level Nikon D3 models, the newer 12.1Mp Nikon D700 suggests a 'best of both worlds' semi-pro option.

Nikon D700 long term test

 

The D700 has been around for nearly two years so in DSLR terms it is due for its pension. Two ePHOTOzine experts take a long, lingering look at it and wonder if now is the time to snap up a bargain

Nikon D700 Review
