Product Description

The D700 is a full frame DSLR. US$2,799.00

The D700 is a hybridization of the D300 and D3. The body chassis is that of the D300, the viewfinder that of the D3.
Internally, the story is different. The imaging chain is exactly that of the D3: same sensor, same microlenses, same autofocus processing speed, same digitizing circuit, same processing.
A Mini D3 if you would for a much better price.

Unmatched durability and image quality make the D700 one the leading DSLR's on the market.

Still Going Strong
Well, now that i have cranked out several thousand shots (29,000) on it...

Weather sealing and general build quality is much, much better than my Canon 5D MKII. The strap sucked that got replaced, but the over usability is great.
The image quality is still incredible to say the least.
So far its got to be one of the best bodies i have ever owned.
