Pros: Very nice construction, ergonomics, file

Cons: He feels the weight of the years and weighs...

Opinion: Incredible machine, a milestone for the FF world. I used it as a second body and I must say that it gave me a lot of satisfaction. The 12 mpx may seem few today but they allow you to obtain excellent results. ISO tightness and dynamic range are affected by age, of course. At the same price I think you can find cameras with less pro but more modern bodies but this remains a wonderful object that still churns out great photos

Pros: camera still very current, robust body and Mpx very suitable for my way of photographing. Solid, beautiful even to look at, with all the keys in the right place, as per Nikon tradition (obviously for Nikonists...), more than good ISO maintenance (I shoot only in RAW), AF that almost never fails, WB very manageable in post.

Cons: difficult to find them on an outdated camera like this, those who choose it know what they are looking for. Maybe a couple of more mpx wouldn't have hurt. However, considering that the flagship of the time (the D3) had the same sensor, well... says it all. If you are a lover of "split hair" leave it alone, the past years are there, the 12 Mpx remain as they are...

Opinion: I had it on test years ago and, after comparing it with my old D200, I decided to buy it, giving it up at the last minute only because at the time of purchase I found a D3 with few shots at a really low price, the temptation of the older sister prevailed... I bought it 2 months ago to have the classic forklift, flanking it with a bigger and more recent sister (the D4s) having to shoot at an important event, the choice was simple, found for a few euros, with 14,000 shots and with 2 years of warranty ... Given! I used it indoors and coupled it with the 80/200 and I was very satisfied with the photos obtained! In comparison with the D4s obviously pays duty in terms of high ISO tightness and AF management, but as a second (and lighter!) camera it perfectly completes my kit. Ah, by the way, the lenses I own go perfectly with this beautiful (for me of course) D700 and the file management "lightens" even more the post production on my PC compared to the D4s...

Pros: nikon d700

Cons: It's not a Z8

Opinion: I use this camera and I know how it behaves. I usually wear it with a 58 mm and it works well even without the social algorithms that decide when to give visibility to a photo, indeed I have discovered that from the photos taken with this camera come out beautiful prints in a3 and I bet I could go much further. In fact I really like this camera that has in its intrinsic limits of its technology the impossibility of always being able to take a photo in mobile phone mode, but damn what photos come out. then sometimes I exaggerate and bring too many lenses, but wow they all work with this camera in an excellent way; shoulder pain azz. what a pain, but what was going on in your head... And in the meantime I take photos and have fun.

Pros: In 2025 it is still worth taking

Cons: If I really have to find one.... 98 percent framing... otherwise it has no flaws

Opinion: Taken to switch to the DX format, it is true what you read on the Net and in the other recensioni.su Juza.... It's the perfect camera in terms of image quality! If you then use the profiles and insert some that simulate film (Velvia, Provia and others in B/W) you will have results that will hardly be matched by other camera bodies. The weight gives a feeling of robustness, it uses the same battery grip as the D300/D300s which is almost the same in size and weight.... But the results are different. Even cheap lenses magically restore contrast and quality... if it is then coupled with quality lenses (50mm f/1.2 AI) the results become exceptional. Autofocus doesn't miss a beat (sometimes with the D300 it happens...) and for ISO up to 1600 there is no problem of grain even when shooting in JPG. I'm seriously thinking of getting another one to have a spare, since Nikon will no longer make SLRs.... Once used, you forget about other camera bodies and use only that one. The 12MP? But are they really a problem in the face of the possibility of being able to use the entire Nikon Ai, ais, Af and Afd lens park without loss of quality and without micro-blur? Listen to me, if you don't have it, try it at least once and... Understand!!! UPDATE I took another D700 body with only 8000 shots and I gave away D300 and D300S.... I made some trips and the performance of the D300S I found it "narrow".... and therefore the decision.... look for one as a second body, use it and... you will love it!

Pros: dated but always an excellent camera, a tank of photography, it takes photos that give satisfaction, the more you use it the more satisfied you are

Cons: apart from the weight, it is difficult to find fault with it

Opinion: using it in the studio or outdoors is a means that gives security both in terms of compactness and photographs at a professional level, a camera that every enthusiast should have in his kit, I would not change it at all, the satisfaction you have when you see a photo taken with the Nikon D700 is like the first time you used it.
