The D700 is the first camera to tempt me to upgrade from my F5 and into digital for photo assignments. The results are exceptional and film is now for the occasional 10% when it’s essential to capture subtlety that digital still doesn’t quite ‘get’. I’m glad I made the switch.

Good review Peter.

I’ve been the proud owner of a D700 since late July as a replacement for my 6 year old Fuji S2Pro (although it was in need of retiring, it actually got stolen so I got the upgrade from my insurance company!) and I must say…WOW! What a camera! I do a lot of live music photography, the S2Pro at 1600 ISO would be dreadfully grainy and usually require Photoshopping to salvage, I tried the D700 for the first time out last weekend and it was sharp and grain-free at 5000! I’m mostly pleased with the backwards lens compatability, when I was younger my dad gave me his Nikon F with about 5 lenses from about 1977, when I moved over to digital, they were unsuable, but that’s all changed with the D700! If you want an SLR and have the money, I’d recommend the D700 to anyone and everyone.

Thanks for your note; yes, compared to the Nikon cameras with smaller sensors, the D700 is expensive.

Due to the cost of the larger sensor, and to a lesser extent, the cost of the larger components and the more expensive processor.

I have no idea what a full frame sensor costs the manufacturer, but well over $1000 US, apparently.

Cheers!

Nice review and pictures. Even though I’m a Nikon fans, but the D700′s price is still the obstacle to own one.

[...] Peter Burian has published an excellent field test report of the Nikon D700 Full-Frame FX dSLR Camera: During long-term testing, the Nikon D700 exceeded my expectations in responsiveness and versatility as well. The full-frame sensor was ideal for wide angle photography even with the AF-S 24-120mm VR zoom (with image stabilizer.) While some similarly-priced full-frame DSLRs do provide higher resolution, 12.1 million pixels — with much larger “photosites” for exceptional quality even at high ISO — will meet many needs. Even the most versatile photographer should be satisfied with this camera, particularly with the optional battery grip and some accessories… [...]

Yes, it’s tough to beat the D700 in any aspect.

I am now writing another Review:

Relatively Affordable Full-Frame DSLRs: D70 vs. Sony a900 vs. EOS 5D Mk II.

I used to shoot N90s. Now I’m totally in love with the D700 high ISO capability. Even as a serious amateur landscape photographer, I feel that this camera enable me to learn and grow with it for the next 5 year.

I have both the D700 and the D300. I have a telephoto lens on my D300, and a 24-70mm f/2.8 on my D700; for macro work, I use both camera bodies. Both cameras take superb pictures. Since I am often photographing in creek bottoms, I love the low light capacity of the D700.
