Nikon D700
Cram most of the functionality and quality of the top-of-the-line D3 into the body of the D300 and what do you get? In this case, 3 plus 300 equals 700. In fact, the D700 even includes a few features that were forgotten when they designed the considerably more expensive D3. Unusually for a pro SLR, it does include a pop-up flash.
Highlights include the full-frame 12-megapixel sensor, an anti-dust system for the sensor, a tough magnesium alloy body, an high-resolution 3-inch screen, and nearly instant responsiveness. It does not have the D3’s 100% viewfinder coverage, extremely long-lived shutter, rear LCD panel, or dual CompactFlash slots.
The specs show the camera to be a worthy model with the Nikon name. I wouldn’t go to say they’ve pushed boundaries with this camera, but it’s still a step in the right direction.
‘ve been waiting for a ‘Full Frame’ but the D3 was just too much for my budget. The D700 although still expensive is almost within my reach and I would imagine many other people who have held off for the same reason. I’ll still wait a few months to let the price settle & then add it to my kit bag along with my D200. I honestly thought I’d be waiting another year for an ‘affordable’ FX body so I’m happy. Thank you Nikon.
Combining the best of the D300 with the excellence of the D3 is a masterstroke that’s sure to attract a lot of sales. Coming in at $2,999.99, $300 less than the Canon 5D’s initial retail price, the Nikon D700 is sure to sell well.
The D700 is a mostly improved version last year’s $5,000 camera, for just $3,000. If you want to read all the good things I think about the D700, read my D3 review in its entirety, and read this review simply for what differs between the two.
D700 essentially takes the D3’s large ‘FX’ format sensor and squeezes it into a D300-sized body. Along with being smaller and lighter than the flagship D3, it’s also comfortably cheaper, making the D700 Nikon’s first ‘affordable’ full-frame DSLR.

It seems (or so the story went) that the board removed some of Nikon’s more conservative senior management and replaced them with more aggressive “Young Turks”, along with a mandate to rebuilt Nikon’s reputation and market position.
