Omg r u kidding me! Wonder why they jump from 300 to 700. What happened to 400-600? Dumb

So on the phone I can't go to that site.

What's the summary of features? Dying of curiosity

For you, Lisa!!!! Oh, BTW...I got my Nikon D70!!!!! =)))))))))))))))))))))))))))) I've been reading the manual for a while now and it's still all so confusing!!! Lol



The D700 features an FX-format first introduced with the Nikon D3. Highly praised for its outstanding features, the D3 established a new level of professional performance in terms of overall image quality, extraordinarily low noise, ISO sensitivity range, continuous high-speed shooting, color gradation, image crispness, durability, weather-resistant operation, system versatility and more.

The new D700 incorporates an extensive array of features that boast a level of performance that is in many ways comparable to the D3. At the same time, it derives a wide range of benefits – including functionality, flexibility and operability – from the more agile D300, Nikon's flagship DX-format D-SLR.

The D700 has everything it takes to satisfy a broad spectrum of photographic needs. The 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor with a sensing area of 36.0 x 23.9 mm; a sensitivity range of ISO 200 to 6400; continuous shooting at up to 5 frames per second (and up to 8 fps with the optional Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D10; Nikon's exclusive 51-point AF system; Scene Recognition System for optimum autofocus, auto exposure and auto white balance detection – these are but a few of the advanced capabilities of the extraordinary new D700.

Same thing with the D3.. the D700 is basically is D3 in a D200/300 body..

I'm so happy I stayed with the D200, the D700 is a proper upgrade! NAS in full swing here.

I don't feel like having to upgrade not only the body but the lenses as well haha

I'm finding out owning a camera is like owning a race car...

You are satisfied for a moment, but how can you get just that little extra???

But as I say... Gotta pay if you wanna play.
