Yup, officially announced, along with SB-900. Let's see what's Canon gonna do about it. The 5d replacement is overdue. When Nikon's D3x is out, Canon's prolly gonna lose even more market share.

Price point is important, did a google and looking at 3000 usd roughly so it will be midway between D3 and D300, hopefully the 300 may drop a bit more to the 1500 cdn range with sale prices a bit less.
That might get me off my D200

Looks like an awesome camera. I still say Nikon badly needs to update their lens lineup (AF-S primes please!) but this D700 will be awesome without most of the bulk you'd get with a D3.

Unless you attach the vertical grip onto the D700, then it's bigger than the D3KorruptioN wrote: ↑Jul 1st, 2008 12:06 pmbut this D700 will be awesome without most of the bulk you'd get with a D3.

would that actually make the difference for a $3000+ D700 body
You could get a d300 w/17-55mm 2.8 & sb800 for the around the price of the D700 body without lens - which would probably be the 24-70mm 2.8 !
With FF you'll gain: Ultra wide angle options (14-24

duh, he can't use the 18-70 on a FF body.. and I don't think he was saying that from a money perspective.
Though this is RFD and the talk is supposed to be about saving a buck, but it doesn't apply to cameras like the D700.

Duh, acutally you CAN use a DX lens with a Nikon FF body, it just goes into crop mode. I wouldn't suggest using it, but none the less you can.
I think Nikon has it nailed thought with the D700, combining the D300 mobility with the D3 capabilities! Surely some good times ahead.

Glad Nikon keep refreshing its line up. I am happy with my D2X. Will try to score a D3 when some users try to downgrade to D700.

FF sensor will give me a better 3D effect i look for in a glamour shoot... the larger the sensor, the better... Detail is very important for me too~ but can't afford a D3x~WillFi wrote: ↑Jul 2nd, 2008 8:30 amDuh, acutally you CAN use a DX lens with a Nikon FF body, it just goes into crop mode.

I can care less about ISO noise, as I usually use lowest iso setting... same with fps... i dont remember the last time i use continuous shooting mode...
