Ok, we get it, it’s a really good camera.
If you had any possible lingering doubts as to whether Nikon has managed to take the best of its 2 top of the line camera bodies, throw them in a blender, and make an additional DSLR wonder perfectly situated between them, then look no further than Photography Blog’s review of the Nikon D700. Typical of most reviews of the D700, the nitpicking centers on the mundane, and the raves are frequently paralleled with mentions of its genetic predecessors, the D300 and the D3. Witness:
In conclusion the Nikon D700 looks and handles closer to the D300 than D3, in terms of controls and layouts, whilst of course featuring the D3’s full frame capture ability, but in a lighter and smaller design. As such it comes across as a kind of ‘greatest hits’ of Nikon DSLRs.
And yes I still want one. Still trying to come with the “need” part of the equation.
