Product Description

Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera brings professional imaging with a full-frame image sensor to a lightweight yet durable camera body. It features the exclusive 12.1 Megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor, measuring 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of a 35mm film frame - thereby eliminating any significant crop factor or focal length multiplier. Images taken with the D700 exhibit exceptional overall quality, broad tonal range and depth, along with extremely low-noise throughout its expansive ISO range of 200 to 6400. Nikon's exclusive EXPEED Image Processing System is central to driving the speed and processing power needed for many of the camera's features such as the 51-point auto focus system and speedy 5 fps frame advance. The camera incorporates many of the features that have made point-and-shoot digital cameras so popular - such as Live View, Auto ISO, and in-camera image enhancement.

The D700 has been designed with refined ergonomics and usability and a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing layout, so photographers can take pictures with greater accuracy and comfort and with less concern about fatigue. The camera's bright viewfinder provides virtually 100 percent coverage for accurate framing, while an ultra-high-definition 920,000-dot VGA LCD screen on the rear of the camera displays images with vivid color and clarity. The 170-degree-wide viewing angle makes composing shots using the LCD screen in Live View mode easy, and the camera also features a unique Virtual Horizon digital level sensor that indicates the camera's alignment relative to the true horizon on the rear LCD screen or in the viewfinder.

The impressive durability means that it can be used under the most demanding conditions. The exterior of the D700 is crafted of magnesium alloy and the camera's shutter mechanism is tested to 150,000 release cycles. Furthermore, the comprehensive array of rubber gaskets and seals protect vulnerable entry points from dust and moisture.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wrong lens for this camera, March 3, 2010

Geezer Photographer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nikon D700 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens (Electronics)

I paid $1,000 extra for this camera so that I could get the full-sized sensor (24mm x 36mm). The DX lens offered with this setup is suitable for a sensor one-half the size of the one in the D700 camera. This lens defeats the purpose of choosing the camera. Yes, the lens can be used, but I would only use it in an emergency - if I broke my lens and hd to borrow one from another photographer to use for a few hours for relatively unimportant shots. It is a terrible choice for the D700, which is one of the best camera's available (as of March, 2010). Get a AF-S (fast focusing) lens that is not labeled DX. If VR (vibration reduction) is available, especially on zoom lenses, that's also a good choice. But do not match a DX lens with the D700. What is being offered here is a Nikon D700 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens, and that would be a foolish purchase.
