Eugene Braack hey im 16 years old and im a photography enthusias. Im thinking of buying my first fx camera and planning to buy d700 and im thinking if d700 still works with new nikon or sigma f mount lenses?? Thx :)
It's now 15 years old, and I just bought one for £249 with low shutter count after watching this video. I already have all the must have recommended lenses for nikon from this channel that I used on my film cameras and adapt to mirrorless. But I've never owned a full frame DSLR. Back then I had the D7100, and while I loved that camera, a part of me did always want an Fx camera. Even if it doesn't match up to modern tech, I can't imagine I could be disappointed for the price.
2021, and the D700 still going strong. Purchased one in March, was looking for my first FX. Wonderful camera, film like quality. No problem printing 16x20 or even larger prints. Love the manual controls, physical switches. 6 months later am purchasing a 2nd with 12.5k shutter count. And yes, they are still flying off ebay, KEH, MPB shelves in 2021. P.S.- is much easier working with 8-12 mb file sizes than 24-50mb!
I bought Nikon D700 + Nikon AF 35mm f2 D + Tokina 100mm f2.8 new + Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 Ai + Nikkor 200mm f4 Ai lenses on your recommendation. Total cost $600 + 100 + 400 + 130 + 100 = $1330. I am happy with the photos made by this awesome collection. Thank you Angry Photographer.
I don't always agree with your lens videos (mainly because my needs are likely much different than yours) but man. Four years in, this video is still relevant. The D700 is, without question, the best non-flagship digital camera Nikon ever produced. I've told anyone I run into for years... bodies are temporary, glass is forever.
Found one at a local camera store. It had 17k shutter count came w/ battery grip/extra battery and charger. Was super clean. I came home and started using it and right then and there I knew that the $800 I spent on it was the best investment I could have made. I am in love with this camera. I am also not addicted to buying older nikon lenses. I have compared my photos to some of those the other girls in my club have taken and they are just as crisp and bright as the others. My gear costs pennies on the dollar less then theirs. This guy knows what he is talking about and any photog on a budget (or any photog in general) needs to listen to him on his advice.
Elizabeth Shaffer Haaaaaaaaa..... 17,000 is nothing, there are many with well over 450,000 shots on them. shuttery assy. only costs $400 to replace IF and WHEN you get over 300,000 and IF it fails. The D700 is one of LAST to be made in Japan and nothing else produces shots like it does.
Billy Connelly eat your heart out!! This man is the best thing since sliced bread. He brings a whole new dimension to photography. Love the mind blowing comedy! Entertainment on this scale is virtually non existent in such liberal ‘politically correct’ days. Keep up the good work.
My best DSLR is the KING Nikon D3S. I used a backup DSLR Nikon D700 and a always love my Nikon F5 for B/W. For Portraits for me is the Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF , Nikon AF Nikkor 105mm f/2D DC and the Nikon AF Nikkor 135mm f/2D DC the greatest of all the Nikon lenses. The 3 prime lenses i used with my Nikon F5 long long ago in the 90s are builds like TANKS. The Nikon D700 is a great DSLR for A3 format prints but the Nikon D3S is a littlebit sharper.
just bought a second hand D700 last week Aug 2021 and it feels great. Always wanted to upgrade from my D7200 DX which is good but been waiting to get a full frame for some time.
Hi, I have just recently come across your yT videos (all queued up for watching), in particular your video on the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 G2. I also own the D700 and agree completely with your opinion and evaluation of the camera. My question, will the said Tamron talk nicely to the D700?
I do like my D700. Its sensor quality is exeptional, even by today’s standards and even with „just” 12 Mpixel. I have done many fine poster sized prints with it. It is also a very robust camera. But this is also its disadvantage. It is buildt like tank, but as heavy and loud like one too. Sometimes taking a shot of someone really feels like shooting his face. 😓
Dude you crack me up! I love your brutal honesty. It's why I started following you years ago and why I have a bag of great bodies and lenses. Digging my 850 now. I bought that Nikon 70-300G you told me to get and it's on my D850 and it is The Cats Ass
I finaly got this with 5000 clicks. I got the d300 to. But I first got the d7100 at your recommend. Also I've been shooting the Xf10 as my EDC. I listen to you about photography all day long. Thanks angy photographer.
I purchased a D700 new when it came out and have been using it with old Nikkor MF primes all this time. All Nikkor lenses my dad purchased new in the 1970s. I finally purchased a new Sony mirrorless but plan on continuing to use those old Nikkors with the help of focus peaking and in-body stabilization and less bulk so it's a little easier to lug around. I don't think I'll sell the D700 though. That camera was/is such a joy to use and I don't want to give it up.
Just bought a d700 for £300 from Ebay, only 15000 odd shutter count, its got some fogging on the screen but I think I can clean it, any info would be appreciated.
I agree 100%. I purchased mine new in Japan in 2010. I sold it in 2014 and still regret it. Most will say it was grey market, because it wasn’t shipped to the US. This camera was a wonderful tool to work with.
I just bought a D700 in excellent condition for $375 in 2023. I also have a D500. After using these two cameras everything else seems subpar. Both are well built and great to use. The D700 has buttons and switches for the controls I use most. It is still a magnificent camera today!
Just grabbed a D700 with a little over 8000 clicks for $599 in EXCELLENT condition and a tamron 45mm f 1.8. Your reviews convinced me to grab both (the tamron 70-200 g2 will be my next acquisition). Had I known about this awesome camera in 2014 I would’ve grabbed one instead of the Sony A6000 (blame it on researching bodies only and forgetting to research glass as well). Thanx again for the honest, no bullshit reviews.
I love your reviews. You are knowledgeable informative, funny and entertaining. I just bought D700 primarily on your recommendation. Love it so far. Thank you very much!
I sold my D90 and my D5200. I bought a D7100 and I am receiving tomorrow my D700, which I bought for 280 euros and 120.000 clicks. I love your videos, greetings from Athens.
Hi folks, just bought a pristine d700 (1300 shutters), the 14-24 f2.8, the 24-70 f2.8 and, and... a 80-200 2.8 push/pull version. EVERYTHING in pristine conditions (except for the 80-200, all the rest has originals boxes) for less than 2k$. I’m really happy... sure my wallet is much lighter. But we live only once, isn’t?
Just discovered your videos, Very blunt , direct and to the point, love them. I totally agree with this one on the D700. I am still shooting this camera for 80% of my work ( shoot weddings/glamour/commercial stuff). Most of the reasons you have mentioned, but the MAIN one is "FILE SIZE", I think 12.1 MP is the perfect size for 95% of most photography you might shoot. I too am a camera hoar! he he, ( I currently have the D700 , D2Xs,D3X, Fuji S5pro, and the D810, had the D70, D2h, D2Hs), bought the D810 just recently and shot a wedding with it as the main camera with the D700 as the second camera, guess what?? After that wedding the D810 is the back up/second camera and only comes out for very large group shots. Those D810 files are too damn big!! Also im "DONE" in playing the upgrade game. No more digital body purchases, what I have will see me through , im gonna slowly go back to shooting film for my personal work and buy film bodies, Just bought myself a Rolleiflex 3.5 E , now that is a KICK ASS camera, next is a Nikon F6 , then the Nikon F4S ( which I previously had 2 of and sold , also just like the 35-70 2.8D which I had 2 of and also sold DONT KNOW WHY I DID THAT after seeing your video on the best secret nikkor lenses. SUBSCRIBED! Yiasou my friend!!
APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE !! I've been happy with my d7100 for a few years now after watching your videos . still using it for work , much luv for saving me money when I didn't need to spend more .
Lyndon Maristela ill walk over a minty D3 every time to buy an "OK" D700 theyre close, but not close enough. Ive owned 3 D3 cameras. Its VALUE just isnt there.
Hi T A P. Just love the way you present your videos. Thank you for giving the D700 that kind of recognition. I just wanted to tell you that I´m really happy with my D700, which I bought 2015 for 817 USD. 1400 clicks with a Nikon battery grip with the battery and other stuff. Of course I sometimes think about the possibilities to crop with the D800/800E/810, but you can´t have it all. I totally agree with your point that this camera suits amateurs or "better". I´ve seen so many photos from amateurs with pro models, and I have to say it makes me think that people (men) buy equipment with the trust that the gear makes the photos. But it don´t. I´ve spend a lot of time to learn the key ingredients to at great photo. Looked at many works from pros and visit exhibitions.Anyway. Keep those videos coming and stay safe.
I bought a D700 a few years ago along with a Nikon MB-D10 battery grip. I made the buy based on this video. WoW-Oh-WoW! I will keep the D700 for a long time. It is an amazing camera!! It is a TANK and takes the most wonderful images. I also own a D3. But, the D700 is my Go-To camera.
Dear Ken I TOTALLY AGREE and this is out of my own experience (and pocket) SAVE your money and get the D700... ...See I own and work the D800e, D7100, D4s, and D700. I use all on everything from Astro to portraiture (Not to mention the D80 that I have but no longer use) combined with 30K worth of premium glass (No way near the ridiculous amount of glass KEN has). THE D700 has the best color rendition of all of the above. (FULL STOP) Thank you ken for another great video.
If I wanted the best Nikon for video, what would I pick in your opinion? I know cannon is usually the way to go with video or a mirrorless like a gh4 or a7s but what would you choose.
I say a Canon 3CCD camcorder!!! Honestly the BEST video the LEAST $$$$ turns out to be the Panasonic HC-X920 !!!! (Ive got one!) best Nikon for video is the D810 currently.
Hi Ken. I've just bought a d800. And have no lenses, can you suggest a walk around zoom lens that's not thousands of pounds. I don't care how old it may be, I just want a sharp fx walk about zoom.. Thanks very much for any advice..
I am a pro, and this man is 100% right about d700. this is the best price/ performance fx digital camera ever built from nikon and still is awesome camera after all this years. Hell, one can even do sports with it; with aditional battery grip and En el 4 battery that enables 8 fps frame burst upgrade. Ofcourse it will cost you extra bucks, but no latter fx camera model (d610, d750, d810,..) with battery grip option doesn't offer you such fps burst upgrade nor 8fps speed. :-)
I'm going to upgrade this summer, and was thinking of buying either the D700 or going for the D7100. I've got some decent glass, a few D lenses (a few of the ones you have recomended), and I just got the Sigma 18-35 Art lense (which is a DX lense). I'm currently shooting with a D90 (my dinky body). Considering I just purchased the Sigma, would it work on the D700? Or should I just get the D7100 since that is a DX camera and would be compatible with my Sigma? Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
whats your total budget? you have plenty of glass? You can still shoot your DX lenses on your FX, YES it would still work on the D700 D700 will take ANY DX lens , its a (originally it was!!!) $3000 PRO DSLR, for $800 (roughly) IN YOUR CASE, given YOUR SITUATION, i would recommend the Factory Nikon refurb (see my video, they all look 100% new) D7100 for $700 from B and H
Theoria Apophasis My budget is roughly $800-$1000. You can never have too much glass, but I've only got 50mm 1.8 D, 85mm 1.8D, 35-70 D, and the 135 2.8AI as far as Nikons are concerned, and the Sigma 18-35 Art 1.8 which is an amazing lense with super sharp pics even on my Dinky. Well, it sounds like going for the D7100 would be my best bet. I also keep hearing that there's going to be a price drop on the D7100 because the D7200 more than likely will come out soon. Anyways, thanks for the advice and recommendations, I got the 35-70 because of you, very awesome lense.
Yeah, you heard that from me! Yes, it should take NO MORE than 2 months after the release of the crappy D7200 for the price to drop on the D7100, but thats mere speculation based upon PRIOR occurrences. Im glad youre happy! Trying to SAVE people money, rather than "this shit is expensive, you gotta buy this!!!" I hate those people!!! Ive got the inexpensive AND expensive stuff,..... the best is the BEST, price be DAMNED
Hi everyone, what you think about a d700 with a grip and a 140k shutter count for about 500€. It will be my first fx and i'm on a budget. It still ok for 2018 and the years to come? Thanks
Bro, you are hilarious.. I can't stop watching your vids. I have a D800 and a friend let me use his D700... and the colors I get from the D700 are way better (using a Nikon 70-200 vrii for the test). I was puzzled so I typed on youtube: angry photographer best camera. Oh my. Should I get a D700 and sell my D800? I was told that the D800 is the best shit, close to a medium format camera and best for professional studio settings, dynamic range monster and so on. I'm consfused...
If you got two Cameras to use on one event shoot, what two bodies would you use? I shoot with one crop sensor Nikon D80 and for full frame I do the Nikon D610.
second 'beater' body would be the D700 $800 used NOTHING comes anywhere CLOSE to it its pics (theyre amazing really) will blow your balls off. Its a Fing tank too.
Ive got f4 and f3/t because i love film. Now Im thinking of having a digital body. What do I go for? d700, d7100 or d500? film like sensor? is there such a thing?
Ken I need your help and trust your recommendations. I have bought a lot of the gear you recommended and I love them! I own a d500 and am looking to have a second FX body on hand, would you recommend the d700 or d810?
Ken! You crack me up! Keep them coming! I though you liked the D3 better than the D700? Well regardless, I just bought a D3 with 9k shutter clicks for $700. Almost went with a D700 for about $500 but I figured might as well go BIG. Been using crop sensors since I swithched from film to digital and to be honest all my AFD and AFS lenses never seemed to be real impressive on the DX camera so I am finally going FX. Would of done it sooner but the $ from shooting aren't as good as they once were.
Great video, thanks for the advice. I'm up grading from my Canon 70D and what I'm looking for is, a bad ass, built like a brick shit house, uber reliable FX body DSLR that shoots 4K video, has wifi, a touchscreen monitor, and uncompressed HDMI out. In your opinion, what is the best lens for capturing 4k video?
Nice. Bought one new in 2008. Great camera. Solid. I fell down the front steps at my sister's house when the camera was a year old, slammed the camera down as I fell, and broke her stone step. Didn't hurt the camera. Only had to replace it when it was stolen. I replaced it with....another D700.
2020 I still rate the d700.. Just looked and on a used camera site they got one with 1200 clicks in mint condition for £399 UK.. omg i might buy it Currently using a d500 mostly but looking at my pics and some my best shots taken on the old d300 and a prime. Never had the 700 might treat myself for 400£ what do you think
D700 is one of the BEST cameras Nikon had ever made! i love the quality that it makes, it also done over 400,000k shutter count and still going. I know someone whos got one thats done over million shutter count and still working like new!!! i prefer D700 over my D750 but the only reason i use the D750 is because its ligher and does a little better in high iso and slight higher megapixel etc but im still using my D700 for my 2nd camera. People need to stop wasting their money on cameras they dont understand
I went to the Photo Show in NYC. I went to the Nikon booth and asked Steve Dyusa (not sure how to spell that) " what size are the pixels on a D700?" He replied "what are you and engineer?" I said "no: I'm a commercial photographer who want to know the fucking size of the pixels on a D700!" He said "oh - 8.53 mu" I said "good! I'll buy one" and I did in 2009. You are correct. It was and still is great! I have added a D850 now (you can tell that I care less about pixel size) but the D700 still works perfectly. My clients really can't tell the difference. Except that I can and have shot 4K video for them. Please know that before the D700 I was using a Leaf Volare with 11 mu pixels. Back then it was very important.
Price point question: there's a D700 and D800 on local classifieds for $850 and $1,150 respectively, both with 36k actuations and from the photos in good shape (watched your used buying vid-thanks!) but will inspect more in person. In this particular pricing circumstance, is the D700 still the better choice? Thanks.
Ken, I Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the amazing videos you put out for phototarded like myself Although i do shoot with a Canon currently I have always thought of them as my training wheels to understand "Poetry of light" I have always intended to get a Nikon when i felt i was ready to be more than a picture taker. thank you brother for pointing me in the right direction
Hey professionals and enthusiasts I have a d3300(dinky) and I'm actually looking for a better upgrade I want quality and bang for my buck! Would you still suggest this camera? I really like it and the review he did made me want to get it! Hahaha
Had a d700 and a d300s a few years ago. Traded them both in for a d500. You can’t forget the color, images, contrast etc of the d700. Its December 2019 and I just added another d700 to accompany my d500. I don’t see a need to buy another body for a loooong time. The 500 can do 4k if I need to the 700 is hard to beat.
with a D700 you dont need the EXTREME 160mbs CF sandisk, get the the 120mb 32GB cards www.cameramemoryspeed.com/nikon-d810/fastest-sd-cf-card-speed-tests/
have a question, friends. I found used D700 with 30-80 lens and a battery grip and the shutter reached 200k for 330 $ and this is actually my limit, should I go for it or not?
Grammy award worthy video. This guy is fu@@ing awesome. Thanks to this video I bought a D700 on eBay in mint condition from Japan with less than 20K clicks. It is 2021 and this 2008 FX camera is the best thing since cheez whiz…….no lie!
Just replaced my D2X with a $400 D3, and I can't imagine anyone's getting better pictures. I'm always amazed at people who buy those brand new models...and then never use them. Like this "used" D3 with 32,000 clicks (that's a good week for me).
Theoria Apophasis Am I better off getting a Nikon D700, or D7200 for Low Light Band Photography ? I can find both used in really good condition on B&H Photo for about the same price.
Thank You I appreciate it. I thought going with a Full Frame would be better but I can't afford a used D610 or D800. lol. oh well. time to make some money soon
Hey..thanks for making this camera your top pick! I just purchased one, a move up from the D90 I have been using for years, basically because 1) I don't have the money to purchased a D4S, 2) shares some of the same stuff with with D90 (the bigger badder brother of the D90 and D300), and has some great features that even the newer Nikon FX cameras don't have (like the shutter on the eye piece). I am definitely an amateur trying to up my game...thanks for validating my decision!
The D700 in several ways is superior to the $6000 D4s. So you already GOT the D700, or it on its way out to you? Did you check the shutter clicks on your "new" D700 yet? Shes a tank with a tight ass. A wonderful cammy !!! I had a D4s for use for 2 months. It had very impressing low light and FAST continuous high shooting,.......but other than that theres, NOTHING impressive about that $6000 camera. Dont "lovingly look" forward to a D4s, you have , in MANY ways , a superior camera in your D700. Awesome D700 owner !!! winks
Theoria Apophasis Got it a couple months back....14K shutter activations. Works well, and it was a steep learning curve from the D90...lots of new menu items and settings to take advantage of. I shoot mostly in Manual, so I could jump right in, but the extra features like the multiple profiles are something I need take more advantage of. The only thin I need to do is send it in for a CLA...I know the sensor needs to be cleaned. Any recommendations.....send to Nikon direct, and authorized shop or one of thedozens out there that say they can do it as well as Nikon?
14k is nothing, thats a great low count. Ohh, i bet it was steep from the D90!!! did you download some of the USEFUL books on using the D700 off the torrent sites? I do my own sensor cleanings, its really rather easy, and i posted a link on the guy that shows you how to do it. But, ive spent most of my life fixing things, so im very used to do crap like that. I wouldnt trust anyone clean the sensor but you once you watch a video on doing it , if you need the link, let me know. Nikon of course can be trusted, but theyre high and SLOW.
hey ken, im thinking of upgrading from a d3200 to a d7000 do you think that its worth the investment i dont want to spent more then $500 on a used body and i mostly do portraits and astrophotography. do you think the D7000 with make a difference? or are there any other cameras you would recommend? thanks
i found a d700 with 4000 clicks and bought it based on your advice and that of others. The images remind me of those i took with my Dad's Kodak 35 shooting Kodachrome 25.
Hey, i found a D700 (body only) on ebay. Its in a really good shape and has 2k shutter count only. But here is the thing: its about 850 EUR = 930 $. Other bodys with lots more shutter counts sell on an equal price here in germany as well. Do you think thats a good price? Or should i wait for a newer fx model, so that the D750 or the D800e reduce in price? Thanks for your awesome videos man.
Hi I have been following you videos for some time now and hope you can answer a question fro me . I have been using a D200 for some thee yeas now and have been more than satisfied with the the pictuers untill recently when I have taken up wildlife photography using a 200 500 lens, I find that the auto focus is very slow when trying to catch things in movement. Would this d700 help or would you recommenced to moving up to another camera.
Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been learning on a D5500 for several years. I love it, but we've come up on some hard limits and it's time to grow. In 2020 the D700 is a well-revered option that won't fuck the bank. Plus they're everywhere now. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Theoria Apophasis I'm So close to buying the d700 but the only thing stopping me is the no video, if i may ask what kind of video gear do you use?? I swear this will be the last last question for loong while.
I love this video, hilarious, but unbiased crystal clear information. I've owned a D700 for less than a week...and let me tell you, I honestly can't wait to start using it. The only other DIGITAL full frame I have is the Sony A7II, I love it, but there are reasons I wanted a DSLR in particular. When the zombies are zoning in and you have to choose between a D700 or a baseball bat...enough said.
I think I would still rather have a d810 instead of a d700 (if i wasnt originally paying for it), because it's worth more. You could sell it for 2500 dollars or so (I think I don't know for sure) and then you could buy other things or whatever but to me the d810 is more valuable now than the d700. But like your talking about spending your own money, then you are totally 100% correct. What do you think about the d750?
well, ive got both, my fave is my D810, ...forgetting WORTH however, the D700 is that ratty old confortable tough made sofa youd rather sleep in rather than the expensive new lush thing you just bought. D750 is the WORST VALUE Nikon in many many years, at MOST its a $1800 camera, sure as hell not $2200
Recently tried this camera alongside the d750 and I love the files that it produces more, the colours are stunning so much so I’m now looking at buying the D3 (same sensor) a sum 13 ish year old camera in 2021 purely based on this camera, 12.1 megapixels are more than enough and with post production in photoshop you can upscale your images if needed beautifully.
Watching this in 2021. This is as relevant today, as it was 6 years ago! It's because of Ken that I have (and still use) a choice between D3, D4, and D700 for weddings today!
I don't know if you will see this or not but how much would you pay for a D700 with only 8k shutter count with a mb-d10 with 4 batteries. The guy selling it is local and is asking $800.
+Longshot Gaming $800??? if its in good/great looking shape, with the vertical grip and 8000 clicks, BUY IT damn, just buy it to use it and resell it for a profit in a few months etc. ive got 2, and even ID BUY IT :P
Here I sit in this, the current year, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my D700. It's coming from Japan, so I probably won't get it until next week, but I wish I had it right now. I'm moving up from my D5100.
I've bought many things overseas, I'm currently looking at a D700 from Japan, would I have to pay customs? I never have before fun many items from overseas, mostly China though.
Every word you said about this camera still holds true in 2019.
Eugene Braack hey im 16 years old and im a photography enthusias. Im thinking of buying my first fx camera and planning to buy d700 and im thinking if d700 still works with new nikon or sigma f mount lenses??
Thx :)
Hi Abel, the Nikon D700 is still an excellent camera, there are many professional photographers still using it. Any F-mount lens will work on it.
@@abelgreeve3641 I recently bought the new Tamron 35mm F1.4 and it works perfectly fine on the D700, beautiful images
@@abelgreeve3641 D700 is an excellent camera! A must buy!
The only thing that isn't true anymore is the price, now for $850 you can get a D800, which is amazing since you can get a D700 for $400
It's now 15 years old, and I just bought one for £249 with low shutter count after watching this video. I already have all the must have recommended lenses for nikon from this channel that I used on my film cameras and adapt to mirrorless. But I've never owned a full frame DSLR. Back then I had the D7100, and while I loved that camera, a part of me did always want an Fx camera. Even if it doesn't match up to modern tech, I can't imagine I could be disappointed for the price.
2021, and the D700 still going strong. Purchased one in March, was looking for my first FX. Wonderful camera, film like quality. No problem printing 16x20 or even larger prints. Love the manual controls, physical switches. 6 months later am purchasing a 2nd with 12.5k shutter count. And yes, they are still flying off ebay, KEH, MPB shelves in 2021. P.S.- is much easier working with 8-12 mb file sizes than 24-50mb!
I bought Nikon D700 + Nikon AF 35mm f2 D + Tokina 100mm f2.8 new + Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 Ai + Nikkor 200mm f4 Ai lenses on your recommendation. Total cost $600 + 100 + 400 + 130 + 100 = $1330. I am happy with the photos made by this awesome collection. Thank you Angry Photographer.
I don't always agree with your lens videos (mainly because my needs are likely much different than yours) but man. Four years in, this video is still relevant. The D700 is, without question, the best non-flagship digital camera Nikon ever produced.
I've told anyone I run into for years... bodies are temporary, glass is forever.
i've got a D700, a 20mm 1.8G, 50mm 1.8G and a 85mm 1.8G. i'm never gonna sell any of these
+YeahBitchIndustries Nice Unit.
You still have the D700? XD
I have 28mm, 50mm & 85mm 1.8G's with my D700. Love this camera.
Found one at a local camera store. It had 17k shutter count came w/ battery grip/extra battery and charger. Was super clean. I came home and started using it and right then and there I knew that the $800 I spent on it was the best investment I could have made. I am in love with this camera. I am also not addicted to buying older nikon lenses. I have compared my photos to some of those the other girls in my club have taken and they are just as crisp and bright as the others. My gear costs pennies on the dollar less then theirs. This guy knows what he is talking about and any photog on a budget (or any photog in general) needs to listen to him on his advice.
Elizabeth Shaffer Haaaaaaaaa..... 17,000 is nothing, there are many with well over 450,000 shots on them.
shuttery assy. only costs $400 to replace IF and WHEN you get over 300,000 and IF it fails.
The D700 is one of LAST to be made in Japan and nothing else produces shots like it does.
I know I found a diamond didn't I! lol I was so stoked about that
the D700 is a secret the pro shooters know about
Everyone else is clueless about that camera generally.......
ROFL !!
Elizabeth Shaffer lucky u ..... :O
It was like winning the lottery for sure! All those gals with the Canon 5D mark ii .... eat your heart out! Lol
It's videos like this that make me love this guy!
Billy Connelly eat your heart out!! This man is the best thing since sliced bread. He brings a whole new dimension to photography. Love the mind blowing comedy! Entertainment on this scale is virtually non existent in such liberal ‘politically correct’ days. Keep up the good work.
Yup, the angry man is totally correct about the D700
I agree...This man has a special way of delivering his messages..Very entertaining and informative guy...
Still using my D700 since I bought it in 2009 and still love it.
My best DSLR is the KING Nikon D3S. I used a backup DSLR Nikon D700 and a always love my Nikon F5 for B/W. For Portraits for me is the Nikon AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF , Nikon AF Nikkor 105mm f/2D DC and the Nikon AF Nikkor 135mm f/2D DC the greatest of all the Nikon lenses. The 3 prime lenses i used with my Nikon F5 long long ago in the 90s are builds like TANKS. The Nikon D700 is a great DSLR for A3 format prints but the Nikon D3S is a littlebit sharper.
just bought a second hand D700 last week Aug 2021 and it feels great. Always wanted to upgrade from my D7200 DX which is good but been waiting to get a full frame for some time.
Hi,
I have just recently come across your yT videos (all queued up for watching), in particular your video on the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 G2. I also own the D700 and agree completely with your opinion and evaluation of the camera. My question, will the said Tamron talk nicely to the D700?
I have that very lens and use it extensively on the d700-it’s superb!
I do like my D700. Its sensor quality is exeptional, even by today’s standards and even with „just” 12 Mpixel. I have done many fine poster sized prints with it. It is also a very robust camera. But this is also its disadvantage. It is buildt like tank, but as heavy and loud like one too. Sometimes taking a shot of someone really feels like shooting his face. 😓
I had Nikon d7100 i sold it and buy tank body Nikon d700 in just $550 with SC 35000 Still in 2018 oct i love it's image qulity
Dude you crack me up! I love your brutal honesty. It's why I started following you years ago and why I have a bag of great bodies and lenses. Digging my 850 now. I bought that Nikon 70-300G you told me to get and it's on my D850 and it is The Cats Ass
I finaly got this with 5000 clicks.
I got the d300 to. But I first got the d7100 at your recommend. Also I've been shooting the Xf10 as my EDC. I listen to you about photography all day long.
Thanks angy photographer.
I purchased a D700 new when it came out and have been using it with old Nikkor MF primes all this time. All Nikkor lenses my dad purchased new in the 1970s. I finally purchased a new Sony mirrorless but plan on continuing to use those old Nikkors with the help of focus peaking and in-body stabilization and less bulk so it's a little easier to lug around. I don't think I'll sell the D700 though. That camera was/is such a joy to use and I don't want to give it up.
Just bought a d700 for £300 from Ebay, only 15000 odd shutter count, its got some fogging on the screen but I think I can clean it, any info would be appreciated.
I agree 100%. I purchased mine new in Japan in 2010. I sold it in 2014 and still regret it. Most will say it was grey market, because it wasn’t shipped to the US. This camera was a wonderful tool to work with.
I just bought a D700 in excellent condition for $375 in 2023. I also have a D500. After using these two cameras everything else seems subpar. Both are well built and great to use. The D700 has buttons and switches for the controls I use most. It is still a magnificent camera today!
Just grabbed a D700 with a little over 8000 clicks for $599 in EXCELLENT condition and a tamron 45mm f 1.8. Your reviews convinced me to grab both (the tamron 70-200 g2 will be my next acquisition). Had I known about this awesome camera in 2014 I would’ve grabbed one instead of the Sony A6000 (blame it on researching bodies only and forgetting to research glass as well). Thanx again for the honest, no bullshit reviews.
I love your reviews. You are knowledgeable informative, funny and entertaining. I just bought D700 primarily on your recommendation. Love it so far. Thank you very much!
I sold my D90 and my D5200. I bought a D7100 and I am receiving tomorrow my D700, which I bought for 280 euros and 120.000 clicks. I love your videos, greetings from Athens.
Hi folks, just bought a pristine d700 (1300 shutters), the 14-24 f2.8, the 24-70 f2.8 and, and... a 80-200 2.8 push/pull version. EVERYTHING in pristine conditions (except for the 80-200, all the rest has originals boxes) for less than 2k$. I’m really happy... sure my wallet is much lighter. But we live only once, isn’t?
Just discovered your videos, Very blunt , direct and to the point, love them. I totally agree with this one on the D700. I am still shooting this camera for 80% of my work ( shoot weddings/glamour/commercial stuff). Most of the reasons you have mentioned, but the MAIN one is "FILE SIZE", I think 12.1 MP is the perfect size for 95% of most photography you might shoot. I too am a camera hoar! he he, ( I currently have the D700 , D2Xs,D3X, Fuji S5pro, and the D810, had the D70, D2h, D2Hs), bought the D810 just recently and shot a wedding with it as the main camera with the D700 as the second camera, guess what?? After that wedding the D810 is the back up/second camera and only comes out for very large group shots. Those D810 files are too damn big!! Also im "DONE" in playing the upgrade game. No more digital body purchases, what I have will see me through , im gonna slowly go back to shooting film for my personal work and buy film bodies, Just bought myself a Rolleiflex 3.5 E , now that is a KICK ASS camera, next is a Nikon F6 , then the Nikon F4S ( which I previously had 2 of and sold , also just like the 35-70 2.8D which I had 2 of and also sold DONT KNOW WHY I DID THAT after seeing your video on the best secret nikkor lenses.
SUBSCRIBED!
Yiasou my friend!!
Theoria Apophasis Ha ha ha!!
APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE !! I've been happy with my d7100 for a few years now after watching your videos . still using it for work , much luv for saving me money when I didn't need to spend more .
what are your thoughts about a nikon d3 vs nikon d700. Which one would you pick?
Lyndon Maristela ill walk over a minty D3 every time to buy an "OK" D700
theyre close, but not close enough. Ive owned 3 D3 cameras. Its VALUE just isnt there.
cool.. thanks for the reply..
Hi T A P. Just love the way you present your videos. Thank you for giving the D700 that kind of recognition. I just wanted to tell you that I´m really happy with my D700, which I bought 2015 for 817 USD. 1400 clicks with a Nikon battery grip with the battery and other stuff. Of course I sometimes think about the possibilities to crop with the D800/800E/810, but you can´t have it all. I totally agree with your point that this camera suits amateurs or "better". I´ve seen so many photos from amateurs with pro models, and I have to say it makes me think that people (men) buy equipment with the trust that the gear makes the photos. But it don´t. I´ve spend a lot of time to learn the key ingredients to at great photo. Looked at many works from pros and visit exhibitions.Anyway. Keep those videos coming and stay safe.
I bought a D700 a few years ago along with a Nikon MB-D10 battery grip. I made the buy based on this video. WoW-Oh-WoW! I will keep the D700 for a long time. It is an amazing camera!! It is a TANK and takes the most wonderful images. I also own a D3. But, the D700 is my Go-To camera.
In year 2020, should we consider D700 or D750?
I recently picked up a D700, for the momento I only have a 50/1.8D lens...any other suggestion for good-cheap-autofocus lenses? Thank You.
When Nikon first came out with the D70, and 18-70 kit the images were amazing. I was able to blow up 16x20, and the images were awesome.
Please bring this Ken back. Magic review of a magic camera and hilarious to boot!
The Angry photographer at his best!! Love it 🤣🤣🤣
#legend
I bought a D700 about 2 years ago for $700 and i love this camera, I bought it on your recommendation thanks.
Dear Ken
I TOTALLY AGREE and this is out of my own experience (and pocket) SAVE your money and get the D700...
...See I own and work the D800e, D7100, D4s, and D700. I use all on everything from Astro to portraiture (Not to mention the D80 that I have but no longer use) combined with 30K worth of premium glass (No way near the ridiculous amount of glass KEN has). THE D700 has the best color rendition of all of the above. (FULL STOP)
Thank you ken for another great video.
If I wanted the best Nikon for video, what would I pick in your opinion? I know cannon is usually the way to go with video or a mirrorless like a gh4 or a7s but what would you choose.
I say a Canon 3CCD camcorder!!! Honestly the BEST video the LEAST $$$$ turns out to be the Panasonic HC-X920 !!!! (Ive got one!)
best Nikon for video is the D810 currently.
Theoria Apophasis Why is the cannon so expensive considering it was released ages ago? It doesn't do "HD" what resolutions does it even output in?
I cannot comment on Canons logic behind that one. Theyve always been trailing in video compared to Nikon.
Hi Ken. I've just bought a d800. And have no lenses, can you suggest a walk around zoom lens that's not thousands of pounds. I don't care how old it may be, I just want a sharp fx walk about zoom.. Thanks very much for any advice..
I am a pro, and this man is 100% right about d700. this is the best price/ performance fx digital camera ever built from nikon and still is awesome camera after all this years. Hell, one can even do sports with it; with aditional battery grip and En el 4 battery that enables 8 fps frame burst upgrade. Ofcourse it will cost you extra bucks, but no latter fx camera model (d610, d750, d810,..) with battery grip option doesn't offer you such fps burst upgrade nor 8fps speed. :-)
I'm going to upgrade this summer, and was thinking of buying either the D700 or going for the D7100. I've got some decent glass, a few D lenses (a few of the ones you have recomended), and I just got the Sigma 18-35 Art lense (which is a DX lense). I'm currently shooting with a D90 (my dinky body). Considering I just purchased the Sigma, would it work on the D700? Or should I just get the D7100 since that is a DX camera and would be compatible with my Sigma? Suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
whats your total budget? you have plenty of glass?
You can still shoot your DX lenses on your FX, YES it would still work on the D700
D700 will take ANY DX lens , its a (originally it was!!!) $3000 PRO DSLR, for $800 (roughly)
IN YOUR CASE, given YOUR SITUATION, i would recommend the Factory Nikon refurb (see my video, they all look 100% new) D7100 for $700 from B and H
Theoria Apophasis My budget is roughly $800-$1000. You can never have too much glass, but I've only got 50mm 1.8 D, 85mm 1.8D, 35-70 D, and the 135 2.8AI as far as Nikons are concerned, and the Sigma 18-35 Art 1.8 which is an amazing lense with super sharp pics even on my Dinky. Well, it sounds like going for the D7100 would be my best bet. I also keep hearing that there's going to be a price drop on the D7100 because the D7200 more than likely will come out soon. Anyways, thanks for the advice and recommendations, I got the 35-70 because of you, very awesome lense.
Yeah, you heard that from me! Yes, it should take NO MORE than 2 months after the release of the crappy D7200 for the price to drop on the D7100, but thats mere speculation based upon PRIOR occurrences.
Im glad youre happy! Trying to SAVE people money, rather than "this shit is expensive, you gotta buy this!!!"
I hate those people!!! Ive got the inexpensive AND expensive stuff,..... the best is the BEST, price be DAMNED
Hi everyone, what you think about a d700 with a grip and a 140k shutter count for about 500€. It will be my first fx and i'm on a budget. It still ok for 2018 and the years to come? Thanks
Bro, you are hilarious.. I can't stop watching your vids. I have a D800 and a friend let me use his D700... and the colors I get from the D700 are way better (using a Nikon 70-200 vrii for the test). I was puzzled so I typed on youtube: angry photographer best camera. Oh my. Should I get a D700 and sell my D800? I was told that the D800 is the best shit, close to a medium format camera and best for professional studio settings, dynamic range monster and so on. I'm consfused...
FastAkira Did u get it?
If you got two Cameras to use on one event shoot, what two bodies would you use? I shoot with one crop sensor Nikon D80 and for full frame I do the Nikon D610.
second 'beater' body would be the D700
$800 used NOTHING comes anywhere CLOSE to it
its pics (theyre amazing really) will blow your balls off. Its a Fing tank too.
If you had to choose a second camera body , (already own D700) would you get the D810 or the D750??
Kristy Mayes D810 , period.
D750 is the worst value nikon has.
Bought 1 on ebay with less than 6000 shots for £340..........best camera iv'e every owned. Cheers Ken for the recommendation :)
Ive got f4 and f3/t because i love film. Now Im thinking of having a digital body. What do I go for? d700, d7100 or d500? film like sensor? is there such a thing?
Gavin Go Chek out the Fujifilm S5 pro.
Ken I need your help and trust your recommendations. I have bought a lot of the gear you recommended and I love them! I own a d500 and am looking to have a second FX body on hand, would you recommend the d700 or d810?
Ken! You crack me up! Keep them coming! I though you liked the D3 better than the D700? Well regardless, I just bought a D3 with 9k shutter clicks for $700. Almost went with a D700 for about $500 but I figured might as well go BIG. Been using crop sensors since I swithched from film to digital and to be honest all my AFD and AFS lenses never seemed to be real impressive on the DX camera so I am finally going FX. Would of done it sooner but the $ from shooting aren't as good as they once were.
My D700 and D300 - 400k Pictures and is still running like hell:)
I also have them both and love them never going to sell either one.
Great video, thanks for the advice. I'm up grading from my Canon 70D and what I'm looking for is, a bad ass, built like a brick shit house, uber reliable FX body DSLR that shoots 4K video, has wifi, a touchscreen monitor, and uncompressed HDMI out.
In your opinion, what is the best lens for capturing 4k video?
I just love when you rise your voice and tell what followers says....hahahhahaha
Nice. Bought one new in 2008. Great camera. Solid. I fell down the front steps at my sister's house when the camera was a year old, slammed the camera down as I fell, and broke her stone step. Didn't hurt the camera. Only had to replace it when it was stolen. I replaced it with....another D700.
also what camera would you suggest for progression of equipment from the d70?
2020 I still rate the d700..
Just looked and on a used camera site they got one with 1200 clicks in mint condition for £399 UK.. omg i might buy it
Currently using a d500 mostly but looking at my pics and some my best shots taken on the old d300 and a prime.
Never had the 700 might treat myself for 400£ what do you think
In today's current technology "May 2019" would the Nikon D850 be a good move forward from the D700?
Do you recommend this camera over the D750 today?
One of my favorite videos from Ken. I've watched it at least 20 times for great info and a good fucking laugh!
D700 is one of the BEST cameras Nikon had ever made! i love the quality that it makes, it also done over 400,000k shutter count and still going. I know someone whos got one thats done over million shutter count and still working like new!!! i prefer D700 over my D750 but the only reason i use the D750 is because its ligher and does a little better in high iso and slight higher megapixel etc but im still using my D700 for my 2nd camera. People need to stop wasting their money on cameras they dont understand
I went to the Photo Show in NYC. I went to the Nikon booth and asked Steve Dyusa (not sure how to spell that) " what size are the pixels on a D700?" He replied "what are you and engineer?" I said "no: I'm a commercial photographer who want to know the fucking size of the pixels on a D700!" He said "oh - 8.53 mu" I said "good! I'll buy one" and I did in 2009. You are correct. It was and still is great! I have added a D850 now (you can tell that I care less about pixel size) but the D700 still works perfectly. My clients really can't tell the difference. Except that I can and have shot 4K video for them. Please know that before the D700 I was using a Leaf Volare with 11 mu pixels. Back then it was very important.
Price point question: there's a D700 and D800 on local classifieds for $850 and $1,150 respectively, both with 36k actuations and from the photos in good shape (watched your used buying vid-thanks!) but will inspect more in person. In this particular pricing circumstance, is the D700 still the better choice? Thanks.
Ken, I Just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all the amazing videos you put out for phototarded like myself Although i do shoot with a Canon currently I have always thought of them as my training wheels to understand "Poetry of light" I have always intended to get a Nikon when i felt i was ready to be more than a picture taker. thank you brother for pointing me in the right direction
Blu Oxygen thanks man!!!!!!!! whew im so worn out from setting up my old studio again!!!
ask any questions BLU
fist bump :P
Hey professionals and enthusiasts I have a d3300(dinky) and I'm actually looking for a better upgrade I want quality and bang for my buck! Would you still suggest this camera? I really like it and the review he did made me want to get it! Hahaha
Had a d700 and a d300s a few years ago. Traded them both in for a d500. You can’t forget the color, images, contrast etc of the d700. Its December 2019 and I just added another d700 to accompany my d500. I don’t see a need to buy another body for a loooong time. The 500 can do 4k if I need to the 700 is hard to beat.
Does this still apply in 2020?
mostly so, but D7200 now instead
Enjoying your videos. I have a D700 what flash card do you recommend?
with a D700 you dont need the EXTREME 160mbs CF sandisk, get the the 120mb 32GB cards
www.cameramemoryspeed.com/nikon-d810/fastest-sd-cf-card-speed-tests/
have a question, friends. I found used D700 with 30-80 lens and a battery grip and the shutter reached 200k for 330 $ and this is actually my limit, should I go for it or not?
Reshaad_97 yes
Grammy award worthy video. This guy is fu@@ing awesome. Thanks to this video I bought a D700 on eBay in mint condition from Japan with less than 20K clicks. It is 2021 and this 2008 FX camera is the best thing since cheez whiz…….no lie!
Own one. Shot in 42c desert, shot in -25c snow. Dents everywhere, still shoots beautifully. Best paired with 24-70 2.8ED. Rock solid.
Just replaced my D2X with a $400 D3, and I can't imagine anyone's getting better pictures. I'm always amazed at people who buy those brand new models...and then never use them. Like this "used" D3 with 32,000 clicks (that's a good week for me).
Theoria Apophasis Am I better off getting a Nikon D700, or D7200 for Low Light Band Photography ? I can find both used in really good condition on B&H Photo for about the same price.
7200 for absolute certainly, no comparison
Thank You I appreciate it. I thought going with a Full Frame would be better but I can't afford a used D610 or D800. lol. oh well. time to make some money soon
Hey..thanks for making this camera your top pick! I just purchased one, a move up from the D90 I have been using for years, basically because 1) I don't have the money to purchased a D4S, 2) shares some of the same stuff with with D90 (the bigger badder brother of the D90 and D300), and has some great features that even the newer Nikon FX cameras don't have (like the shutter on the eye piece). I am definitely an amateur trying to up my game...thanks for validating my decision!
The D700 in several ways is superior to the $6000 D4s.
So you already GOT the D700, or it on its way out to you?
Did you check the shutter clicks on your "new" D700 yet?
Shes a tank with a tight ass. A wonderful cammy !!!
I had a D4s for use for 2 months. It had very impressing low light and FAST continuous high shooting,.......but other than that theres, NOTHING impressive about that $6000 camera.
Dont "lovingly look" forward to a D4s, you have , in MANY ways , a superior camera in your D700.
Awesome D700 owner !!! winks
Theoria Apophasis Got it a couple months back....14K shutter activations. Works well, and it was a steep learning curve from the D90...lots of new menu items and settings to take advantage of. I shoot mostly in Manual, so I could jump right in, but the extra features like the multiple profiles are something I need take more advantage of. The only thin I need to do is send it in for a CLA...I know the sensor needs to be cleaned. Any recommendations.....send to Nikon direct, and authorized shop or one of thedozens out there that say they can do it as well as Nikon?
14k is nothing, thats a great low count.
Ohh, i bet it was steep from the D90!!!
did you download some of the USEFUL books on using the D700 off the torrent sites?
I do my own sensor cleanings, its really rather easy, and i posted a link on the guy that shows you how to do it.
But, ive spent most of my life fixing things, so im very used to do crap like that.
I wouldnt trust anyone clean the sensor but you once you watch a video on doing it , if you need the link, let me know.
Nikon of course can be trusted, but theyre high and SLOW.
bought my d700 new in 2009 and has only 5715 shutter count and I will never sell it. My D4 is my main camera.
i love seeing this dude making fun and swearing LOL
hey ken,
im thinking of upgrading from a d3200 to a d7000 do you think that its worth the investment i dont want to spent more then $500 on a used body and i mostly do portraits and astrophotography. do you think the D7000 with make a difference? or are there any other cameras you would recommend?
thanks
+Willem Shattuck to the D7100 yes.
trade in the 3200 and the D7100 as new refurb is $620
ok sounds good thank you but does the d7100 have good low light performance?
i found a d700 with 4000 clicks and bought it based on your advice and that of others. The images remind me of those i took with my Dad's Kodak 35 shooting Kodachrome 25.
What to buy D7100 with good glass or D7200 with cheap glass ?
Or used D610 ?
+Mohamed Abdallah tough choice isnt it, none of them are any good without some good glass :/ D7100 with some lenses.
+Theoria Apophasis
I also choose D7100 because no much diff. between it and the D7200.
Thanks :D
ive got 2 of em, wise choice :) everyone loves their Fing D7100 :P
hugz
Hey, i found a D700 (body only) on ebay. Its in a really good shape and has 2k shutter count only. But here is the thing: its about 850 EUR = 930 $. Other bodys with lots more shutter counts sell on an equal price here in germany as well. Do you think thats a good price? Or should i wait for a newer fx model, so that the D750 or the D800e reduce in price?
Thanks for your awesome videos man.
I love my Nikon D700 and will never sell it!
Hi Ken, Please update this video. I've an old Sony D.S.L.R. I really want to upgrade, and I would love your advice/ input on an upgrade. Peace.
Hi I have been following you videos for some time now and hope you can answer a question fro me .
I have been using a D200 for some thee yeas now and have been more than satisfied with the the pictuers untill recently when I have taken up wildlife photography using a 200 500 lens,
I find that the auto focus is very slow when trying to catch things in movement.
Would this d700 help or would you recommenced to moving up to another camera.
Hey I have I Nikon D90 and I want to move to a full frame camera I was looking at D610 what's your opinion on that camera ?
Missys_nails awful camera....whats your budget?
Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been learning on a D5500 for several years. I love it, but we've come up on some hard limits and it's time to grow. In 2020 the D700 is a well-revered option that won't fuck the bank. Plus they're everywhere now. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
What's your review of the Nikon D7000?
Theoria Apophasis I'm So close to buying the d700 but the only thing stopping me is the no video, if i may ask what kind of video gear do you use?? I swear this will be the last last question for loong while.
BluntSmokerr true true, it does no video. I use a 3CCD Canon and a Panasonic 3 CMOS HC-X920
Theoria Apophasis Thank you soo much for your time !!! this helps me soo fukn much
warm hugs doood :P
I' m looking this video on 2019. How does the d700 compare to the d750?
d3300 is legit.
I am printing pictures I take with it on canvas and its amazing..
And when I am printing on canvas high megapixels matter a lot. :p.
Good camera but not as great as the D700. Owned the D3300 and still have the D700.
I love this video, hilarious, but unbiased crystal clear information. I've owned a D700 for less than a week...and let me tell you, I honestly can't wait to start using it. The only other DIGITAL full frame I have is the Sony A7II, I love it, but there are reasons I wanted a DSLR in particular. When the zombies are zoning in and you have to choose between a D700 or a baseball bat...enough said.
Feel pretty good in 2022...
Have a brand new in box D700...
Cant wait to get started....
Had a D700 since 2010, It's the best camera i've ever shot with holy trinity :)
I think I would still rather have a d810 instead of a d700 (if i wasnt originally paying for it), because it's worth more. You could sell it for 2500 dollars or so (I think I don't know for sure) and then you could buy other things or whatever but to me the d810 is more valuable now than the d700. But like your talking about spending your own money, then you are totally 100% correct. What do you think about the d750?
well, ive got both, my fave is my D810, ...forgetting WORTH however, the D700 is that ratty old confortable tough made sofa youd rather sleep in rather than the expensive new lush thing you just bought.
D750 is the WORST VALUE Nikon in many many years, at MOST its a $1800 camera, sure as hell not $2200
Recently tried this camera alongside the d750 and I love the files that it produces more, the colours are stunning so much so I’m now looking at buying the D3 (same sensor) a sum 13 ish year old camera in 2021 purely based on this camera, 12.1 megapixels are more than enough and with post production in photoshop you can upscale your images if needed beautifully.
Watching this in 2021. This is as relevant today, as it was 6 years ago! It's because of Ken that I have (and still use) a choice between D3, D4, and D700 for weddings today!
Whats the best compactFlash card for the d700 ? Great video angry!,,which sandisk?
sandisk 95mb/s cards , gold sticker , very cheap
I swapped my D7100 for a D700 and I am as happy as Larry whoever he is. No contest. The D700 rocks.
Al Barber I did the same thing and I love this freakin camera! :)
I don't know if you will see this or not but how much would you pay for a D700 with only 8k shutter count with a mb-d10 with 4 batteries. The guy selling it is local and is asking $800.
+Longshot Gaming $800??? if its in good/great looking shape, with the vertical grip and 8000 clicks, BUY IT
damn, just buy it to use it and resell it for a profit in a few months etc.
ive got 2, and even ID BUY IT :P
what performs better in low light? the D700 or D750?
The D700 is better for low light.
Here I sit in this, the current year, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my D700. It's coming from Japan, so I probably won't get it until next week, but I wish I had it right now. I'm moving up from my D5100.
I've bought many things overseas, I'm currently looking at a D700 from Japan, would I have to pay customs? I never have before fun many items from overseas, mostly China though.
