Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera
The new Nikon D700 digital SLR camera featuring a 12.1-effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor that measures 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. Benefiting from Nikon’s legacy of imaging technology innovation, the D700 offers both advanced and professional photographers stunning image quality, accurate color reproduction and revolutionary low light performance.
The Nikon D700 achieves a remarkable distillation of the finest imaging performance digital photography can offer. The D700's 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor provides exceptional image quality throughout its remarkable ISO sensitivity range. A large pixel size of 8.45 µm allows for an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic range. The 12-channel readout enables accelerated information transfer, allowing the D700 to shoot at speeds of up to eight frames per second at full resolution (using the optional MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack) and quickly write image data onto the Compact Flash card.
The Nikon D700 offers a versatile base ISO range from 200-6400 but can be expanded to range from ISO 100 (Lo-1) to 25,600 (Hi-2) affording photographers the new-found confidence to shoot in the widest variety of lighting conditions from the brightest midday sun to dim interiors. Images previously thought to be impossible to create without complex lighting set-ups or lengthy post-processing are now captured easily and faithfully with the D700, unleashing new and diverse shooting possibilities
Nikon D700 Features
- Integrated Dust Reduction System: Nikon meticulously developed this system, analyzing the characteristics of a myriad of image-degrading particulates so as to fully evaluate performance and reliability in a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels
- The 12.1-megapixel Nikon FX-format CMOS sensor Incorporating the same Nikon-original FX-format CMOS imaging sensor developed for the groundbreaking D3, the new Nikon D700 delivers immaculately clean images
- Rich tonal gradation, wide dynamic range: 14-bit A/D conversion followed by 16-bit image processing another key to the D700's outstanding image quality is Nikon's powerful, state-of-the-art EXPEED image-processing, a technology it shares with the D3. Rich data captured with the Nikon FX-format
- Clean files from ISO 200 through 6400: The D700's high signal-to-noise ratio contributes to impeccably clean image files across the broadest span of ISO settings. The D700's standard range extends from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 and whichever setting you select, the D700 delivers outstanding image quality
- Auto ISO setting for shooting opportunities where you need to deal with constantly changing light, ISO sensitivity auto control can be a major advantage, eliminating the need to sacrifice either aperture or shutter speed
- 51-point AF system: The strategically positioned 51 AF points of the D700's Multi CAM 3500FX AF sensor module are identical with those of the D3 and keep your subject in focus, even with quick and/or erratic subject movement, across a wide extent of the frame
- Versatile AF area modes: The D700's three AF area modes Single-point AF, Dynamic-area AF and Auto-area AF prepare you for any shooting situation. With good light control and a static subject, Single-point AF ensures that the most important element in your composition
- Speed, response and power at up to 8 frames per second: With a startup time of 0.12 seconds and shutter release time lag as short as 40 milliseconds (CIPA standard), the compact, lightweight D700 combines speed, response and power to rival the professional Nikon D3
- 40-millisecond shutter response: The D700 works as fast as you do, enabling you to capture the precise moments you want. That's why the shutter release time lag was cut to an industry-leading 40 ms (CIPA standard)
- Large, bright viewfinder: Put your eye to the D700's large circular eyepiece and rediscover why a camera's viewfinder experience cannot be taken for granted. One look through a D700 confirms that superior viewfinder design is at the heart of single-lens reflex camera handling
- 3-inch, 920,000-dot LCD: The large, high-resolution color LCD monitor delivers bright, crisp image playback, with enlargements up to 27x (large-size images in FX format), for immediate and precise image confirmation
Prices start at $1,350.00 for the Nikon D700 body only
