Pros: Makes beautiful photos

Cons: The weight compared to a mirrorless

Opinion: The d700 is a camera with a core and the sensor has something special. It has the great advantage of digesting any optics and knows how to pull something out of even the cheapest lenses. Elaborating landscapes and sunsets on Lightroom is pure poetry, it seems to brush a canvas. With AI-S lenses it is sensational and its 12MP in the age of social media are enough and advance. Yes, it is not small, but at least you know that you are holding the body of a real camera and looking at a mirror in an era where we are already enough in front of the displays. Practically infinite battery, with two batteries I made a two-week trip to Mexico without a charger. I came to the conclusion that the winning combination for an amateur photographer / hobbyist like me is a beautiful full frame SLR with mirror (now in the price of the used are little found both this and the d600, another great camera that I recommend) and a new generation mobile phone (from 2020 onwards), I in addition also have an analog pentax as icing on the cake. Take it and try it out of courtesy

Pros: My first FF, great sensor, great files also in JPEG.

Cons: An FF of other times now, but it still works great.

Opinion: Purchased new in 2010, my first FF, I immediately found it fantastic, it was exactly what it did for me, having already a large amount of Nikon, AF, AFD and AI optics was perfect, sharp, complete and with a sensor that gives colors that in landscapes are still beautiful today, great battery, it grips rather well and for those who come from Nikon everything is intuitive. Defects? In some ways it is outdated, but if you have to take pictures think and you do not have to freeze the MILLENNIUM FALCON that passes you next to tablet is still excellent. I still use it with satisfaction, every now and then I have it cleaned and calibrated and she goes! VOTE 9.

Pros: Tropicalization, eternal shutter, construction, soft and workable files

Cons: Lack of tightness at high ISO, 8fps obtainable only with battery pack, heaviness

Opinion: Repurchased in 2022 only to have a "vintage" SLR in my kit now composed only of mirrorless, I consider this machine not a full frame but LA full frame. All the advantages of a D3 in a relatively lighter camera body. I divide my personal review into 3 parts: Pros, defects, neutrality. ADVANTAGES Well, tropicalization allows you to have a camera body that, in situations of small rains or bad weather in general, during ceremonies or outdoor situations, you are not there to think, and now? The car gets wet, what can I do?, misery and "All the saints in the air". You don't care, stop, go ahead and work, so in your hands you don't have a car but a tank. Eternal shutter, with a classic sound that looks more like a shot than a shot (which I think is very cool) mine has 47k shots, they give it for 150k shots, but I have seen models of colleagues who take wild photos in extreme situations with more than 200k shots continuing quietly to use it as if there were no tomorrow waiting for the shutter to give way (but at this point it is more likely that they give in). I state that I shoot only in raw and after 14 years still pulls out soft and workable files with lightroom, full of information being able to still make the world. The controls are all at your fingertips, without frills and above all without getting lost in the meanders of the classic nikon menus that are sometimes complicated (something I found in the younger sister D750). If you do ceremonies or study it continues to be a perfect machine still bringing work home without any problem. DEFECTS: If you want a machine with high ISO seal forget ... holds maximum to 3200 after which you will have to play a lot of luminance to the detriment, unfortunately, of the annoying painted effect that comes out, therefore, equip yourself with luminous lenses otherwise you can have serious problems. I mainly do sports photography for basketball and football teams and in such situations 5fps are very few; can also get 8fps but only with battery pack MB D10 even if there are various tutorials scattered around the network that allow you to reach 9fps without battery pack going to set specific functions on the function keys (I have never done it because these keys are set for other functions for me fundamental, therefore, In sports photography I work with battery pack. Working with the latter, the weight increases further: body, battery pack and 70 200 to f2.8 returned home practically destroyed and this thing is deleterious! Its heaviness is a very negative point. NEUTRALITY 'In this section I state some points for me neutral (the classic "who cares") that for you could be negative points: Sensor at 12Mpx ... Guys, we are talking about a machine from 14 years ago, unless you want to crop endlessly or print the mega posters size elephant who cares, they are fine anyway and the quality is excellent. Lack of video side... Guys this is not a video camera, it is a camera so it does not make videos but photos. If I wanted to make videos today I certainly would not do them with a Nikon D700, but not even with a D750, I would do them with a sony A7III getting a superlative quality to work, and if I had to make a video "a priscio" for social media, I repeat, certainly I do not do it with the D700, but even with the D750 but I do it with my smartphone so "WHO CARES?". Conclusions: they are now used at very affordable prices, if you need a second spare body buy it, if you need to gain experience in the photographic field and you do not have a big budget, buy it, you will have LA full frame often at the lower cost of entry level aps-c that will make you shoot like dogs, without "being able to dare" and that pull out embarrassing files even for the god of lightroom

Pros: Tropicalization, robust, shutter, quality,

Cons: Autofocus a little slow, iso hold, weight,

Opinion: I tried this camera some time ago is really good but you could see the signs of age especially when you shoot over a thousand Iso if it is used in situations where you need high iso, instead using it in the studio or in any case in professional situations with good light the quality is Top. In fact, for me the real upgrade was with the D780. Shooting in Raw with the D700 the files were not always rich in information according to my needs, however already excellent quality it was enough to work it little and it would have been perfect This is because modern sensors contain Raw files with more information but need more processing and attention, however the 12mpx reduced the problem making this machine exceptional with a respectable quality indeed better than certain machines even modern mirrorless. I had recent post production programs so I could not open the file I had to use an old program and this is also one of the reasons why I decided to change it. Now I own D780 and D850 I also had the D750 the real transition was as already mentioned with the D780. The D700 will remain a very good machine, also because the shutter is infinite. Unfortunately, technology goes on!

Pros: 12 mpx, solidity, ergonomics, general image rendering, ease of use, reliability.

Cons: 12 mpx (can also be a con), white calibration in low light (defect shared with other models)

Opinion: I then had it resold, then bought back... and exchanged. She is a lady machine but bears some signs of age. Let's say that wanting to stay on the 12 mpx today you find the d3 / d3s at prices so low that honestly having those - or deciding to buy them - keep a d700 makes sense only for weight issues (even if she does not weigh little is always more "light" than a d3 / 3s / 3x). Honestly today in my opinion it is a machine that is always useful and absolutely reliable, without frills and perfectly suitable for some specific uses, even professional. I exchanged it for a rather kilometerd d810 just to have a more modern body for the landscape, for the rest I keep the d3. Taken alone, the d700 are beautiful cars, compared with other, even contemporary, some limits shine through. For me the AF is sometimes uncertain (compared to the d3), ditto the exposure of the old 1005-point module calibrated on this model. Obviously the viewfinder and pentaprism of the d700 do not stand comparison with that of the d3, there is considerable difference. It will be the case of the specimens that I had but the front-back focus of the lens/body complex is more relevant than with the d3, talking about the same lenses; it may be that the d3 have more stringent construction standards with regard to the grafts. Having had - and resold - even the d800 I can say that the differences are not only in the mpx.. more modern machines in my opinion make raw files with more information and this is an aspect that for some uses can be decisive. 12 mpx are great for everything, only if you want / need to crop you need something more. But they are details... . Needless to talk about the performance at high Iso, obviously it does better than many DX but the technology is over 10 years old so... In summary it is a lady machine, without frills, pleasant to use for those who love the traditional manual skill of Nikon camera controls.
