I can't tell you how happy I was to see your video pop up today. Had to immediately watch it. Hope you are well and welcome back. Your are the sole reason I even began looking at the d3s and it is absolutely lovely
You are very discerning and have EXCELLENT taste in RUclips podcasters. D3S is absolutely lovely - I love mine. 😀 If you haven't already seen it then do check out the recent D3S review by Martin Castein - I love his channel & approach.)
That guy was entertaining for certain. I too dipped my foot into Fuji at his behest and it left me feeling exactly the same. It works for a lot of folks, just not me. This week it was all packed and shipped out to a buyer up north. We’ll be sticking with the Z6 and D700.
Nice one. Been waiting for your review and enjoyed it. I have a lovely (5000 exp) D700 that I am slowly getting to grips with. Thank you & keep up the good work.
I agree re Fuji. Something about the images does not give me the depth that Nikon does. Love the D700, D4, D750, D850, and older lenses like the 80-200. If shooting film, the F5 is wonderful too. 5 fps in film....wow!
"The Nikon D700 is a professional-grade full-frame digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by the Nikon Corporation in July 2008 and manufactured in Japan." (Wikipedia) 😉
Although I have been shooting with Fuji cameras lately, I have a D3s and a D700. I love those older cameras and you just have to be careful with the compact flash cards. I never shove them in but put them in carefully so as not to bend any of the pins.
As a fellow fan of all the same cameras I always enjoy hearing your thoughts! Interesting to hear how you felt about Fuji as I knew Ken was a big fan. Cool how your glasses match your camera strap, intentional or not. :)
Bought my d700 a in 2008 and used it for 10 years til replaced it with a d850. Works like a charm after all that use. I don't use higher than 1600 iso but that is just fine for much work.
Hi Timmy. I have finally upgraded my D3000. I am now the proud owner of a D300s 😁🎉 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the D300 the DX version of the D700? I have the same battery grip too.
Congrats - I think the D300s will be a much nicer and better feeling camera to pick up and will shoot with. You are right - the D300 is the DX little brother of the D700. I'm not 100% certain, but I think almost the only difference between D300 and D300s is that the 300s has 720p video whereas the original D300 has no video capability. I had a D300 in the past and thought the colours from its RAW files were nice.
Great to see you posting again, missed your content , more please 👍, very interesting re fujifilm cameras , as I am currently thinking about letting my d3’s go as I’m doing more field macro work and really require a tilt screen and higher mega pixel count for cropping , have been thinking about the fujifilm xh1 ? , but it’s crop and not full frame and not sure if that’s any good for what I’m doing. also as much as I love the weight of my d3’s having recently had surgery on my neck and spine carrying heavy equipment is a no go .. any advice on what camera to go for ?
Thanks for the compliments Simon. You need to get the cameras that work for you. I'm pretty much a portrtait and casual people snaps shooter and I like the old Nikons but even I (as a huge fan) find the big flagship bodies heavy for walk-around street portrait shooting or hiking for landscape. People say the current Fujis are great, & my previous Fuji experience was 6 years back when I was shooting jpegs and using an old version of PS Elements for editing. Best Wishes, T
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to answer really appreciated , I’ll do more investigation work as I really don’t want to let the d3’s go without replacing it with something slightly better , maybe some of your viewers may have an input .. so many different viewpoints and not sure who to believe , and once I’ve traded in that’s it ., 🤔 , all the best look forward to more content 👍👌
Have the D3x, D3s, D200, D300s, D4s, D700, D810, D850 as well as other Nikon film flagships, there is something magical and unique about the now vintage Nikon images coming out of those cameras. Love the CCD look of the D200 if you balance your ISO limitations and understand its DR abilities!!, Ted.
You went down the Nikon rabbit hole! 😂I have d200, d300, d700, D800, d3s, d5 a couple of S5 pros too for good measure. I really love the handling of these old Nikons. They feel more natural than Canon to me.
Using a D700 for years, among other Nikons. This morning my D80 died with an err message. I decided to get a D200 for replacement. When looking for that I stumbled upon a D3s located only a few km from my work. It has a +500k shutter count! It looks ok on photos though, so I will see it in the afternoon. The high shutter count makes it very affordable - DKK 1000, (£ 120) including a 50mm lens!
I just ran across someone who has a D700 with 1.4 million shutter activations. I wouldn't worry about it. Sad that the D80 died. That's my go to CCD camera.
@@RhettAnderson The 3Ds is working perfectly fine. In the meantime I have got two D200s. So I still have a CCD camera. The D200 is also a solid camera. Same build quality as D700, D800 etc.
nice to have you back, sir
I still really enjoy using my D700 for portraits. I use to have a D300 and also liked the images from that too.

@@Cotictimmy I definitely did! I appreciate the call out because it is a great video. Have a great day, I appreciate you.
Thanks, Timmy. I always enjoy your videos, even more than all the fancy ones on RUclips.

5k shutter clicks - I'm a bit jealous. 😜
yes went to the fuji system but never really gelled came back to the d4s and now d3s, cant be happier, poor me, lol. great content guys, keep it up
This is so raw that’s good
Great Video ! You were quite informative. Love your personality it gives your videos a charm.
One of the best Nikon D700 the legend👍
Thanks a LOT!!
I love your videos. Thank you
Now that's the kind of RUclips subscriber I like! 😍
@@Cotictimmy Great! 👍🏻🍀😍

I have the 12.2mp D3 and the D700. I believe the D700 was introduced in the US in late 2007.

Very entertaining and interesting video I am a Nikon fan have been for the past 45 years I have the D3, D300, D800, D810 D850.
Very kind of you to say so. I am planning to make a video about my new Nikon D200 in the next few days.
D700 Colour, win.!!

Excellent of you to drop in Tracy. I'm afraid the colour coordination of spectacles & camera strap was pure coincidence. 🤣
nice!
Does D3s has the same magic as D700?

@@simonsmith2794 How about the D7xxx series?
Would you still get a d700 over a z6II now?

500K is a big number, but with the lens and that price, it sounds like a gamble worth making. Good Luck. 😊

Any chance of looking at d90...new subscription.
Brothers working together in harmony😊
I've never owned a d90 but it's possible my friend may have one (he has a d80) which he might loan me.
Its a pro camera i'll never sell mine can't be beat for portrait or landscape its a keeper
But their resale value is very low. Don’t bother.
