 Outstanding - Nikon D700 Dec 18, 2009
The Nikon D700 is a strong performer in the PRO class of cameras and the images it produces with a high quality Nikkor lens are outstanding. The FX full frame sensor creates beautiful photographs. From the build to the features, NIKON QUALITY is at its best in this camera.
Outstanding performance, outstanding build Dec 06, 2009
In the megapixel war, the Nikon D700 seems behind the times at "only" 12 megapixels. But there comes a point at which additional pixels don't count for much; the quality of the pixels makes for a better picture. With its superb noise reduction, stabilized lens system, and outstanding low-light capabilities, the Nikon D700 allows you to take photos -- without a flash -- that you really can't manage well with any other camera. Don't have a tripod? Poor light? There is still a good chance you can get a good, crisp image.
On the down side, the camera is large and heavy. It is weather-sealed, has a magnesium frame, and takes full-frame photos, so it is physically larger and heavier than most digital SLRs. It lacks the novice-friendly "scene modes" of many of the current SLRs. Instead, you have a massive variety of things you can set manually, or automatically, or in some hybrid synthesis of the two. The manual has 24 pages of prefatory material and another 437 pages of details, plus an index. It is a good thing that you can find what you want fairly quickly as there are a great many possible settings, tweaks and adjustments.
If you want an easy to use digital SLR camera, get something else, like a Sony Alpha or a Canon Rebel or a Nikon D90. On the other hand, if you've gone beyond the basics and are willing to invest the time and mental effort in learning more, the Nikon D700 will reward you by helping you go places you've never been able to go before.
Fine camera Nov 27, 2009
No complaints at all. Sold my D200 to get this and I have no regrets. One fine camera. The upgrades in the feature set from the D200 are well thought out and highly functional. I really like the tethered caps. Nikon has a winner.

D700 is amazing...24-120 lens not so much Jun 16, 2009
First -- I love this camera. I haven't had a dSLR that has behaved exactly like my old Nikon film cameras until the D700 -- it works with all my old Nikon lenses, and the full frame format is excellent. It is 99 percent of the D3 with only half the price.
Second -- I got the kit through Amazon only because the camera with the kit lens was cheaper than anything being sold locally for the Body Only. As prices drop, and if it becomes available on Amazon, purchase the Body Only and get your own lenses. The Kit lens is basically unworthy of this camera body. It has a nice range and the VR is nice -- but it is soft across the entire focal distance range, and there is severe vignetting at 120 -- some of the worst I have seen in a Nikon lens.
Finally --for those of you upgrading from a D200 or a D300, you hopefully know by now that your old DX lenses will work on the D700, but it will crop them to 5.1 megapixels (even the D40 has 6!)...unless you already have a lot of FX lenses (G-series lenses and the like) you are going to be spending additional money on lenses for the full format camera. I am surprised how many people don't do their research, but the D700, and then are upset that they have to shell out more money for additional lenses. As to lenses, my personal suggestions without breaking your bank: The Nikon 50mm 1.4 G lens - it's sharp and works great on this body. It becomes a walk-around lens. The Tamron 28-75 2.8 lens -- a fantastic zoom lens at 1/3 the price of the Nikon equivalent and possibly better IQ -- and either the Nikon 70-300 VR G lens or the Tamron 28-300 VC lens (That's what I have, and it is sharp and wonderful for large focal length situations). In a pinch, the old Nikon 28-80 G (the one that starts at 3.3) that came on old film bodies of the early 2000's creates awesome sharp photos and is a steal for 60 bucks from resellers.
Anyway -- the D700 has become my best friend -- the lens I eBayed right away...

Step up from D300 Apr 15, 2009
One of the unique aspects of the D700 is that you may use DX or FX lenses - it can recognize either and accommodate them. This allows you not to have to reinvest with specific lenses. Of course the 2.8's are so tantalizing that I have bought a few and look to add to them in the future. It handles nicely and the pictures are stunning.
