Ken Rockwell, the renowned camera reviewer, states that: "The Nikon D700 is Nikon's, and the world's, best serious digital camera." It is a FX (full format - sensor is the size of 35mm film - great for low light/high ISO conditions) camera and the images it produces are outstanding. The D700 takes all Nikon lenses but using DX lenses is not recommended. Resolution for FX is 12.1MP but only 5MP for DX. Some of the positive features are: Big, bright viewfinder; 51 point auto focus sensor; excellent 920,000 pixel 3" rear LCD; "Auto" dynamic range mode to help improve heavy contrast shots, and many more. The quality of the images this camera produces is superb. The camera weighs about 1kg without a lens or battery.
