Wonderful, Wonderful Camera September 10, 2010
Surfseventy8 (Nantucket, MA United States)
Quite simply the best camera I have ever owned.
My previous dSLR was the Nikon D80. I shot with it for 3 years, mostly for casual family shots of vacations and photos of the kids. As technology progressed, it became time for an upgrade. This was the perfect fit for me this time around. The D700 is built well enough for professional use while still being comparatively affordable. This year I started on the road to becoming a professional.
Let's cut through all the minute details since so many other pixel peepers have pulled apart and examined every square centimeter of this camera in other reviews. Nikon makes top quality products that every pro photographer I know rely heavily on.
Buy this camera if: you're a pro photographer or are seriously thinking about becoming one. Key word here is "serious". $2400 is a lot of money to drop on a camera if you're not.
If: you are a serious hobbyist who needs better performance that cannot be achieved in a DX camera.
DO NOT buy this camera if: you are currently shooting only on full auto mode on your camera. You really should understand exposure to get the most out of the D700.
If: you have a vast collection of DX lenses that you like shooting with. The D90 is a DX camera and is heads and tails above the first generation of dSLRs like the D80.
If: the idea of spending $1700 on a pro FX lens makes you faint.

Desde hace más de un año uso una Nikon D60 como primer paso para la fotografía digital seria, recientemente adquirí una D700 y definitivamente las ventajas de una cámara profesional se sienten en ella, desde la posibilidad de hacer balance de blancos personalizado hasta el full frame.
Se debe tener cuidado con la optica ya que para aprovechar el formato FX es necesario tener objetivos compatibles y los DX funcionan haciendo crop del CCD.
This camera is amazing September 8, 2010

I just got this camera, and I've been using my 50mm 1.4 lens with it (I mainly shoot portraits), and these two combined are AMAZING! The pictures come out so clear. I love it. Can't wait to invest in some high quality glass! Definitely worth the money. I don't think this camera will ever let me down. :) The full frame also makes a big difference. ISO capabilities are incredible!
Best SLR full frame for the price given August 7, 2010

Couldn't be better I can use all my old Nikkor lenses and the image quality is superb at high ISO.

Photographers have always thought that putting your money in good glass is the best investment since cameras bodies wear out or get outdated more quickly. The thing is that as sensors improve and ISO increases, one can use lighter and cheaper lenses with a smaller f-stop and still get good results. This camera is a good example. What I am saying is buy this camera even if you won't have too much money left for expensive lenses. It will give you more bang for the buck than buying a DX camera and putting the extra money in good glass. Just my opinion.
