Slotting in between the D300 and D3 in the Nikon range, the D700 is more closely related to the D3. It packs in the same groundbreaking full-frame ...

The Nikon D300 body sells for around $1,800 and the D700 sells for $2,800. I've been saving up for the D300, but not sure if the D700 is worth spending an extra $1,000.

Right now I have about $2,500 saved up.

Not interested in saving up for Nikon D3 (~$4,000 + lenses) unless it's THAT much better

-I know how ISO, aperture, exposure, etc work, and prefer to manually adjust my camera settings. I've been into photography for a couple years and want to upgrade my current camera (Canon S5IS)

I love my D300 it has performed beyond my expectations. Its seems to be as rugged and dependable as my Nikon F2 and I never thought an electronic camera would make me say that. It if chocked full of functions probably more than I will ever use but its nice to have them available.. The D300 will use any accessories that come with other Nikons you already have but know in advance the user manual for the D300 is around 500 pages. That does not mean you have to read and memorize all of them to use it. If you are comfortable with P,A,S and M settings on your current camera you will be able to use them on your D300. You will have buttons rather than menus to change all of the more common functions like ISO. You will have more options for focus modes and metering but you can start with it on 51 point 3D tracking and matrix metering and it will do a pretty good job for you while you are learniing to use the other meter and focus settngs..

That said not everyone needs the functions this camera has and there is no sense paying for them if you do not need the build quality or functions/ If you are planning to keep the camera only a few years and move on the another the money may be better spent on a D90 or D5000. If you want to use it for a decade or more the D300 is the way to go. Go to Nikon USA and look at the comparison chart to see which is right for you

If I can answer specific questions please feel free to email me.

The D90 mentioned is a good camera there is no doubt about it and if you want video you should look at that or the D5000 however while the features are similar between the D90 and D300 the extra money goes for the build quality. The D300 has a magnesium frame and much more in the department of moisture and dust seals. Its built to stand up to harder more demanding use. Other major differences the D90 has an 11 point autofocus the d300 a 51 point with 3D tracking Different exposure metering 1,005-pixel RGB sensor 3D Color Matrix Metering II on the D300 vs 420 pixel RGB sensor 3D Color Matrix Metering II On the D90. Shutter speed on the D300 goess to 1/8000 sec on the D90 to 1/4000. Slightly faster flash sync speed on the D300. Slightly more shots per battery charge on the D300 and so on.

The D700 is built on the same frame with the same weathersealing as the D300. It adds the full frame sensor and a new image processor . Larger sensor equals larger pixels which means more light per pixel and that yeilds better geometric accuracy, better tonal range, better dynamic range and lower noise. Thats the biggest reason it cost more than the D300/ I cannot answer if you have a need for that. I would like a hasselblad H3DII-50 because its medium format sensor is even better than a D700 or D3Xs full frame sensor but I do not need it. If the D700 had been out when I bought my D300 though I personally would have gotten it.

Yesterday I upgraded from the Nikon D300 to the Nikon D700, body only. The guy at the camera store told me that my D300 lenses wouldn't work on the D700 at full resolution. Therefore, I need lenses. I read that Nikon has been making FX lenses for years but the camera store is telling me that I need to buy 2 and 3 thousand dollar lenses.

I already have a 50mm 1.4, but I want a good wide angle zoom lens. I was cruising Craig's List, but just want to know before I buy what writing am I looking for on the lens to know it will give me full resolution.

The guy at the store really put it in a negative way.

What the D700 (and D3(x)) does is crop the sensor and shows that crop in the screen allowing you to use all your DX lenses on your full frame Nikon DSLR. Canon EF-S lenses cannot be used at all on full frame Canon cameras ... period ... they will cause damage to the cameras mirror.

The guy at the store is just trying to make money.

Any Nikon AF lens will perform well on your camera,

Have you actually tested your D700 using a DX lens .. I think you will find that the guy at the camera store is probably not a Nikon supporter and is very quick to point out what he thinks is a failure of the Nikon system ... in reality, it is a strength ... at least with a Nikon, you can use the DX lenses. Not so with Canon.

Here is a list of all the Nikon lenses and their compatibilities with Nikon cameras.

Some sale people like to point out that entry level Nikon's only use AF-S lenses ... AF-S lenses are what Nikon is currently making and as time goes on, they will all be AF-S lenses but for the specialty lenses like manual focus and PC lenses.

I have five current Nikon Zoom lenses ... two are DX, the 18-200 mm VR and 12-24 mm. They work just fine on my D3. My four prime lenses all cover my full frame cameras, 35 mm and D3

I called my local Best Buy in Louisiana, to see if they had any D700 bodies in stock. They had about 3-4 a few weeks ago, so no big deal, right? Well--the girl said they had been deleted from their systme, even though website indicated elsewhere. Okay....Well I called back today and spoke to the Main Guy in the department, just in case the chick was confused. So yes, indeed he said it AND D300 were both put out of their system. Yes, you can of course order the body online. But he said the display unit could not be sold until November of this year (2009)...Curious date?? Also, the display of the d700 could not be sold until the 8th month (August) of 2010. So I guess they will stay on display until then, right? This would signal the replacement date of the whole unit(s). SO why delete now?? I am in disarray now. Maybe the price will drastically drop. If $2,000...then D700 is MINE. By the way, own Canon 40d with 28-135 and 75-300 (cheap)...I can part with this setup!!

What other lenses are compatible with the D700 full frame sensor? Right now I only have the Nikkor 24-120mm for it.

I have other lenses for my other bodies, but I really don't want to use DX lenses on an FX sensor.

Any of the Nikon lenses that do not have a "DX" notation on them are full frame lenses and are designed to work on any Nikon 35 mm SLR or FX Digital SLR
