Pros: Files that convey a more organic and less digital feel than modern sensors.

Cons: In general, the defects are due to the age of the design, such as the single old generation compact flash memory card.

Opinion: I wanted to add my opinion, about this old reflex, which I still own, to say that actually the files it churns out have the ability to create the Whaoo effect in those who look at them, even today! In fact..... I don't know why, the photos taken with the D700, have a magic that unfortunately those of modern sensors do not have, this led me to think that the much sought-after sharpness, if on the one hand it can be useful, brings with it the other side of the coin, because it makes the images much more "digital" and less pleasant to observe. There is no going back, evolution (but also marketing) has led us to have these very dense sensors, and they are welcome, but I am convinced that an old sensor like that of the D700, combined with a modern processor and therefore with performance in step with the times, would still give a lot of satisfaction. Last thing, it is said that the limit of 12 mp lies in the fact that they do not allow you to crop the image and not to be able to make large prints, well I am a serial cropper, and I have printed 50x70 photos from heavily cropped files that are spectacular, so the 12 mp of the D700, for me, does not suppose any limit. Here.... That's it.... It's not a review, because reviewing such an outdated camera doesn't make sense.... let's say it's an homage to the D700.

Pros: Sensor, robustness, machinability of files, (today) second-hand price,

Cons: Yesterday as today.... Nobody

Opinion: A camera body that so many years after its launch still has its say, I don't understand those who say that today it only makes you smile. It churns out beautiful files, with incredible colors and definitions, its beautiful 12.2 MP are very manageable and allow files that are not too heavy, therefore easy to work with. The camera body is really solid and well finished, the controls are really simple and very intuitive, even the tires (at least in my sample) are perfect. It guarantees an incredible recovery of shadows, at the level of Canon 5D MK III (which I have had for years), and on the iso hold, well the "few" mp help a lot, as the files are perfect up to 1000/1250 iso, up to 3200 you can safely work and the grain is not excessive, obviously going beyond that, however, they are compromised. That it doesn't make videos for me is absolutely not a defect, as for me the camera has to take photos, not videos. Autofocus is quite fast, it has an internal motor and this is a luxury, and also quite accurate, the tracking of the subject is perfect 8 times out of 10. This tank today can be bought cheaply and in my opinion today it is still a very first choice, without any problem you can shoot in any situation without fear of not having taken the last model of the same category. Ah, maybe today, however, he has a flaw... it does not have Wi-Fi, very convenient it is true, but not always necessary, it turns with a remote control or with an external antenna.

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.
