The D700 maintains this new measure with exceptional overall image quality, broad tonal range and depth, and extremely low noise throughout its native ISO range of 200 to 6400.Nikon D700 Digital SLR HighlightsThe legendary Nikon FX-Format CMOS sensor The D700s 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor provides exceptional image quality throughout its remarkable ISO sensitivity range. A large pixel size of 8.45 µm allows for an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic range. The 12-channel readout enables accelerated information transfer, allowing the D700 to shoot at speeds of up to eight frames per second at full resolution (using the optional MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack) and quickly write image data onto the CompactFlash card.The D700 offers a versatile base ISO range from 200-6400 but can be expanded to range from ISO 100 (Lo-1) to 25,600 (Hi-2) affording photographers the new-found confidence to shoot in the widest variety of lighting conditions from the brightest midday sun to dim interiors. Images previously thought to be impossible to create without complex lighting set-ups or lengthy post-processing are now captured easily and faithfully with the D700, unleashing new and diverse shooting possibilities.Also new to the D700 is Nikons first self-cleaning system designed for the FX-format sensor. Utilizing four distinct vibration frequencies, the D700 frees image degrading dust particles from the sensors optical low-pass filter at start-up, shut-down or on demand. As an added benefit, the mirror box and entire shutter mechanism are constructed of materials that resist creating debris that can affect image purity.Fastest speed and autofocus in its class The D700 starts up in a mere 0.12 seconds and has a nearly imperceptible shutter-lag response time of 0.40 milliseconds, making this an extraordinarily responsive tool for the demanding photographer. The D700 can record full-resolution JPEG images at an astounding five frames per second (fps), or eight fps with the optional MB-D10 battery pack for up to 100 images, or up to 17 lossless 14-bit Nikon NEF (RAW) files. To write images efficiently, the Nikon D700 is also compliant with the next-generation of high-speed UDMA CompactFlash cards that will enable recording speeds up to 35 megabytes/second.The D700 offers one of the fastest and most accurate advanced AF systems on the market today. Nikons Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module features 51 AF points and the ability to use 3D tracking to focus and lock-on a moving subject. The 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors can be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single Area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either 9, 21 or all 51 focus points. The system also features 3D Focus Tracking with automatic focus point switching that takes advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses scene color content and light information to accurately track the subject.Intelligent features for sophisticated performance The D700 relies on a wealth of innovative Nikon technologies to help photographers create superb images. Nikons Scene Recognition System analyzes information from the 1,005-pixel RGB light sensor for use in auto exposure, auto white balance and autofocus calculations. The Scene Recognition System also assists autofocus by tracking subject position and automatically shifts the AF points used to match the subjects movement within the frame. This system also contributes to higher accuracy of auto exposure and auto white balance detection, resulting in sharp landscapes, flattering portraits and engaging action shots.Photographers also have the option to enhance their pictures during or after capture with the Picture Control System and Active D-Lighting. Nikons Picture Control System enables users to adjust their images to pre-set parameters such as Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome that apply tweaks to image sharpening, tone compensation, brightness, overall tone and saturation. D-Lighting uses localized tone control technology to further optimize highlight and shadow detail while also maintaining natural contrast, giving photographers the ability to capture more perfectly exposed images, even in unusual lighting conditions. Active D-Lighting lets photographers choose from various intensities during capture, while a new Automatic mode also applies varying levels of D-Lighting as, and when needed, to enhance photos while shooting.Enhanced Live View modes and viewfinder Ideal for studio, remote applications and more, Nikons Live View allows the photographer to compose the subject on the bright three-inch, TFT LCD monitor. In Handheld mode, the user is able to recompose the frame prior to actual shooting; familiar TTL phase-detection AF is activated, using all 51 AF points. Tripod mode is designed for precise focus accuracy with still subjects and tripod stabilization. It enables focal-plane contrast-detect AF on a desired point within a specific area. Remote view, focusing and shooting can also be controlled from a PC (via connection or wireless) using the optional Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 software. Additionally, the Virtual Horizon feature on the D700 can now be superimposed over the Live View monitor image to aid composition.While using Live View to compose or review images and settings, users will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 920,000-dot VGA, three-inch TFT LCD monitor with tempered glass that provides a wide 170-degree viewing angle. The large monitor is remarkably effective when confirming the focus with enlarged playback images. The camera also outputs a video signal to an HD television using the new smaller HDMI-C standard, which is an excellent solution for workshop demonstrations or shooting tethered for clients.Photographers will also be able to compose images easily using the wide and bright viewfinder that features an eye-level pentaprism with high refraction index and provides a 95-percent frame coverage with 0.72x magnification. Each of the 51 AF points, as well as a framing grid, can also be superimposed on the finder screen to suit the photographers personal preferences.Rugged construction and durability High-strength magnesium alloy is used for the construction of the camera body, rear body and mirror box to create a precision platform, reduce weight and provide rugged durability. The camera is tested to stand up to the rigors of the globetrotting photographer and is weather sealed using precision O-rings where connections are made to effectively combat dust and moisture.The shutter unit employs an assembly made of a new composite carbon fiber and Kevlar hybrid material. Tested on fully assembled cameras, the D700s shutter unit has been proven through 150,000 cycles under demanding conditions. The self-diagnostic shutter constantly monitors and maintains shutter precision to ensure peak performance.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I recently bought a used D700 and no matter what len or setting I use there is a black ring around my images. What can I do to fix this?**
A: You most likely are using a DX format lens and the D700 is a full-format sensor so it will create the "vignetting" effect you described. Try the body with an FX lens, or use the settings to dial back the sensor to accept a DX lens. Hope that helps.

**Q: D700 VS D800**
A: I love my D700, but if I was getting a new camera I'd get the D800.  The files are definitely going to be much bigger and that's a consideration to make since it'll make loading and editing RAW files more difficult.  However computers are constantly getting faster and hard drives are cheap.  I have network attached storage and it takes a second or 2 to load the D700 RAW files in Lightroom 4.  I like the larger megapixels of the D800 for zoom purposes.  If you set your D700 to DX crop mode you get an image that's less than 6MP.  On the D800 in DX crop mode, the image is probably going to be larger than the 12MP of the D700.  I'm not sure about the white balance on the D800, but the D700 goes towards the green, so I have to adjust that on most photos I take.  Also the D800 records video.  It's a capability that might or might not interest you, but I wish my D700 had that capability.

**Q: How many shutter revolutions?**
A: If you mean how many clicks or actuations on a Nikon D700 camera, you can google the question and get your response there.

**Q: Does having one CF card slot make this risky for paid work? If yes than I am buying a new D610. Thank you!!!**
A: I think it would be hard to quantify the risk.  2 slots would reduce that risk but I would recommend a different Nikon if you're thinking of buying the D700 new from Amazon.  For less that what Amazon sells the D700 for ($3400) you could get a D800 ($2800)or D800E if you want to spend a little more than the D700 costs.  The D800/E accommodate 1 CF card and 1 SD card. I'm not a professional but I've taken almost 20,000 shots with my D700 since I bought it new about 1.5 years ago.  I use Lexar Compact Flash 1000x UDMA cards (16GB and 32GB) because they're fast.  I haven't had any failures yet.  In the 12+ years that I've been doing digital photography I've only had failures with Viking cards so I quit buying that brand.  I've also used SanDisk, Kingston and Transcend brand cards with no problems.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, but a few observations
*by D***Y on January 24, 2010*

I agree with everyone else here that the Nikon D700 is the state of the art in digital cameras. So just some picky observations based on a few weeks use:1. I compared photos from the D700 at ISO 1600 with the same shot from my DX D60 (jpegs only) - and looking at fine detail, the image is much smoother and the noise much less, just as one would hope. Compared to high-end pocket cameras with the same pixel count, much superior contrast and dynamic range.2. Nice understandable manual, which is not always true with Japanese cameras.3. I experimented with using a DX lens, specifically my Nikon 10-24mm zoom, even though theoretically this should vignette badly on this FX camera. To my delight, it does work, not over the whole zoom range, but reasonably well from about 18-24 mm. This means I do not have to go out and buy an expensive FX wide angle zoom if I only use it occasionally. I also tried to see if these results could be improved by using a new tool in the D700 called Vignette Control which compensates for lenses (typically wide angle lenses at full aperture) whose brightness falls off in the corners. Although the D700 manual says Vignette Control is not effective with DX lenses, this seems to mean when DX lenses are used in the default DX Crop mode, which uses only the central portion. If DX Crop is turned off so the DX lens is used over the full FX field, Vignette Control does indeed improve the results in some cases. It's subtle and inconsistent and dependent on the other settings, in particular Active D-Lighting, so be sure to try it first. But the bottom line is that you may already have your 20mm lens from your DX collection, a big cost saving.4. A minor complaint. The only remote wireless shutter release which works with this camera is an expensive radio setup which plugs into the electrical connector and then has a transmitter and receiver, way too complicated and overkill for occasional use. I wish they had enabled the D700 to support the $15 ML-L3 infrared remote which is used in their consumer DSLR's such as D60. A cheap and handy way to set off the shutter remotely is important for nature photo, portraits, even self-portaits.5. The multi-selector control on the back is annoyingly vague and does not give a sufficiently positive switching action. I often have to press twice. This is not just my individual sample - they are all like that. Nikon, please, a better quality switch!6. Finally, in spite of the 51-point exposure control sensor, I have had trouble capturing proper exposures in high contrast situations such as a flower backlit by bright sunlight against a dark background. The highlights tend to get blown out. Many pocket cameras such as Canons let you watch the LCD and adjust the exposure compensation in real time until it looks right. Although the D700 has a Live View mode where you can pop the mirror up and watch the image on the LCD, it does NOT show the compensation in real time. The compensation is only applied at the time of capture. Disappointing. Maybe they will fix this in a later firmware upgrade?Summary: Love this camera. But of course nothing is perfect!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instant Classic
*by R***D on January 24, 2013*

4/1/13 Update: It's been nearly a year and this camera has still met all my expectations. I've shot a variety of subjects from sports to studio to street and it's not let me down. Recently, I've done a car shoot and some night street photography during SXSW here in Austin with some amazing results.With the money I've saved (vs. getting a D800), I've been able to add other photography gear like a studio strobe, lighting modifiers, and the AWESOME Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AFS.I'd eventually like to add a D3S or D800E as a primary (and keep the D700 for a backup camera) in 8-12 months.For those considering the D600 and D700: if you're a hobbyist, the D600 will probably meet 99% of your needs. It's got a great 24MP sensor, improved high ISO capability, smaller body, dual card slots, movie mode, etc. Basically a mid-range DSLR camera with all the features one would expect in 2012/2013. I can't speak to the quality issues regarding oil spots on the sensor, but on paper, the D600 is a great full frame camera for the money. Pro's may consider one as a backup body.Where the D700 trumps it is in ergonomics, weather sealing, and autofocus. If any of those matter, then the D700 is still a very strong contender.Original review: I won't get into the specs, but give my take on how this camera holds up being a generation older than the current competition.At current used prices it matches up very closely to the new Nikon full frame kid on the block-- D600, although the ergonomics and features of the D700 are closer to the the D800.The D700's lineage is from the mighty D3 so you're getting essentially the same camera in a smaller body. Slap on the optional hand grip and you can fire away at 8 FPS. The sensor and processor don't quite match up today's semipro DSLRs, but it is still VERY GOOD. Unless you're always shooting in the dark with no flash, images are clean up to ISO 3200 and still usable at ISO 6400 with the proper exposure and post processing. I rarely go up to 3200, so that was no big deal to me.The only major omission is the lack of a movie mode, though that really wasn't a deal breaker for me. Other features you may miss: No custom modes on the mode dial, single card slot (unlockable), and live view isn't that useful.It's hard not to get caught up with GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome), but you really have to consider that last gen cameras are still capable of producing the same high quality images as any new camera today. Besides, the money saved could be best used for lenses, lighting, and photography lessons.
