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.

Pros: robustness, reliability

Cons: Contact cover rubbers tend to detach with time

Opinion: I used this machine for 7 years, at an amateur level, coming from D200. Impeccable build quality and image, for what they are able to appreciate at the level of the amateur. I have always used it in RAW mode so I do not express evaluations regarding the quality of the processed output. Usable, in my opinion, up to 800/1,600 ISO; going further, the noise stands out and, personally, if I am forced to use higher sensitivities I use the B / W as I can reduce the noise more effectively. I replaced it, with D800, only because - presumably as a result of moisture ingress after an intense rain - it began to manifest malfunctions apparently of an electronic nature (very fast battery consumption, flash not working, constant flashing of the LED access to the CF card, sporadic gross overexposure). I'm so fond of it and I've felt so good about it that I'm still considering an attempt at repair to keep it as a spare car. I give you a grade of 9.9; I avoid the 10 only because, given my not so vast experience on the use of other bodies, I keep a margin for any better experiences ... but it will be difficult!

Pros: Reliability and robustness; full frame (resulting in image quality benefits) at relatively low cost

Cons: The flagship has the weight, but not the physique

Opinion: Everything to say about this camera has been said... what else to add in 2021 ?. In my opinion the functionality is excellent, devoid of video and a whole series of functions (hdr on camera, etc ..) of which the following models have been "full". Conversely, it represents the point of arrival of that philosophy that Nikon has developed on analog SLR cameras and that has had its maximum expression with the f100. The baked file is photorealistic and soft. Probably the portrait his ideal scope.

Pros: all

Cons: Weight and bulkiness

Opinion: Still in 2021 my best photos come out to me with the d700 that I love paired with a 35mm PRO. Despite having top-of-the-range DSLR and Mirrorless cameras and very modern... I will be crazy but I still prefer the d700 and its fantastic sensor. Already I am not a lover of intensive post-production, but with this machine I can do practically very little post and for secondary aspects only. For me it is a myth this "old" camera along with the d3s (or x).

Pros: exposure meter that didn't miss a beat, great RAW files

Cons: Autofocus a bit slow

Opinion: Excellent REFLEX, my first full frame, I took many shots and accompanied me on several trips. I remember a day in the mountains, a whole day under the snow and she always ready to shoot... Excellent ergonomics and balanced. The viewfinder is great as well as the easy to manage and complete menu. Good battery life Now super machine.. super outdated
