Pros: Rugged full frame with battery pack is fast 8fps

Cons: body dated but enforces ISO over 2000

Opinion: I own two d700 purchased on RCE I am satisfied with everything the RAW files are easily workable and in extreme situations you bring home a great job with postproduction I use them for sports photography and I was speechless they are two tanks ISO seal over 2000 you have to post produce well you risk throwing away some shots to be used with f2 lenses, 8-f4-f1.8-f1.4

Pros: Full frame

Cons: None in my opinion

Opinion: Camera purchased 3 months ago at 300 € with 13500 shots practically to be tested, I have seen specimens with 400000 shots with the shutter still working, before doing the review I wanted to test it with a thousand shots, from portrait to landscape, I was stunned by the images it brings out. I mainly use it with 28 105 afd, but it behaves well with all the optics in my possession... what can I say fantastic machine, it only takes photos (not movies) these do them with your mobile phone which is better ... in my opinion the camera has to take pictures, and the d700 despite being 15 years old, does them really well, I also have the d750 another nice camera, but this tank really amazed me, despite its 12 MP, fantastic colors and well manageable noise, with the new AI programs it is no longer a problema.ci would be many other merits, (fast AF battery life, possibility to use any lens etc....) if you want a real full frame I recommend it... good photos

Pros: It's a full-frame

Cons: If I really have to find something, only one CF slot

Opinion: I have been using it with satisfaction for more than 10 years and, despite its age, it still continues to excite me. It was born in the period of Nikon's transition to digital (3/4 years earlier they had stopped producing the F5, instead the F6 was produced until 2020 as well as the 50 1:1.2 AI-s which was discontinued in 2015), and is to be considered the younger sister of the D3. With the latter, the aim was the professional photographer, with the D700 also for them, but above all for the advanced amateur. I got the idea that it can also be used for professional services, or to have as a second body, but the lack of the second memory card slot makes it a riskier choice when used for commissioned work (and just to give an example: a wedding cannot be rescheduled in case something goes wrong with the CF). For the rest, the sky is the limit! You just need to know how to adjust it a little bit and you get beautiful files in both color and black and white. I recommend the use of all AF-D lenses which, in my opinion, give their best with the D700 sensor. Its 12Mpx are more than enough to make prints even of considerable size. The biggest one ever made was a 4x3 or so, and I think this is its limit even to have good sharpness up close. I have always recommended it, and I will continue to do so, because with little money you can take home a nice full-frame (and the advantages of this format are indisputable compared to the Aps-C) very robust, with the tropicalized body, a built-in flash, it has an infinite number of lenses to match (which are all the F-mount lenses produced by Nikon from the 50s onwards), It is very intuitive and allows you to take beautiful photographs even for those with little knowledge. It's definitely not the right machine for: those who are looking for megapixels, but never print; those who want to photograph in the evening as if it were during the day, without using flash or long shutter speeds; those who have not yet understood how to use ISO, apertures and exposure; those who want to get that "sharpness" to compete with AI; those who have problems with the muscles and perceive 1kg as if it were 2; those who think they have to or are used to cropping heavily. I leave you a link to a personal project made 99.99% with this camera and two lenses, the 35 AF-D f/2 and the 85 AF-D f/1.8: https://www.ioanpilat.com/portfolio/diari/ In any case, the vast majority of the photos on my site are taken with this camera.

Pros: Sturdiness, paste of beautiful photo files. It only makes photos no videos!!

Cons: In the eyes of yesterday, no one, in today's eyes, finding a flaw in it makes no sense.

Opinion: I wanted a Full Frame camera, as a long-time APS-C owner I chose the Nikon D700 for a simple reason: the price. It is obvious that a camera from 15 years ago has important limitations in today's eyes, but the substance of this camera is still amazing. The files it gives away are beautiful and it doesn't matter if it's only a 12 MPX. The beauty of his photos makes us forget this detail. Then it's beautiful, robust and substantial. Well, with this philosophy, it is a 10 machine, if we then expect it to do what today's machines do, then we have to change our point of view, because those who orient themselves on such a machine do it out of pure passion, without many ifs and buts!

Pros: JPEG yield, robustness

Cons: Live View, Mirror Lift, Autofocus

Opinion: Bought used as a training ship, in excellent condition and at a ridiculous price (400 E), it was love at first glance. The returned jpegs are much higher, for my taste, than those of the D750 bought new after some time, and even slightly superior to those of the D810, another camera in my possession. The best, in the Nikon field that is not strictly professional, for those who dedicate themselves to generalist photography (panoramas, portraits, still life...), do not have the desire or ability to post-produce and do not need to obtain prints in a format greater than 30x40. So much so that I gave away, still brand new, the 750... Those who, like me, are very dedicated to macro, can have some problems. The live view runs out of battery in a very short time, it's primordial and shooting with the mirror raised to avoid micro-blur is very cumbersome; I report the exact problems described by a forumer in a thread I opened: "Operating in Live View with the mirror up, when it shoots it closes the mirror, raises it, opens the shutter, closes it and then raises the mirror to return to Live View, this... It produces strong vibrations and moreover, at the time of shooting, the view on the monitor remains obscured for a very long time". And yet, even these problems are certainly surmountable (if you are interested, read the last post of this discussion: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=4389531&show=2 ). In fact, I only use the D810 if I foresee conspicuous croppings. Partial conclusion, having never shot in Raw:, highly recommended for those who need to work in jpeg, do not need to print beyond certain formats and do not devote themselves to photographic genres that require very fast and precise AF. In these areas, the grade is 10 laude. With the intention of buying another specimen, if in the same condition as the one in my possession.
