Still got my D700 and use it regularly. Also got some Canon and Fuji gear but I keep going back to that gorgeous 'old' Nikon D700.
Thanks for sharing! There is a strong following on UA-cam amongst the D700 users. Thanks for watching.
Just purchased a pre owned D700. I love that it’s ‘only’ 12MP. Don’t want bigger files! Already is my favorite DSLR.
Good choice!
Great comparison! Love your conversation style. In 2022; I still adore my D700. The rest of the stable includes: D7200, D600, D810.......and a Pentax k3. They all produce stellar images. I have found the D7200 with good glass can produce incredibly sharp images that rivals the D810. I use the D700 as an every day shooter swopping out to the D600 on occasion. Your test is so very correct, It is difficult to really see a marked difference in resolution.
Thanks. Glad you like the video and thanks for sharing your experience and your choice of gear. Cheers Peter
I found the D700 images to LOOK best. As far as I can judge that in a full screen YT movie.
I have a D7100 which is always in 13 MP mode. I make enlargements upto 50 x 75 cm (20x30") without breaking a sweat. Megapixels don't count when you are above 12. The glass matters most for sharpness. The body for colour rendition.
👍
You did a very nice job offering the comparison of 4 excellent cameras. Your relaxed easy going presentation is one of the most enjoyable among all the photography UA-cam creators. Well done. (I just acquired a D700 to compliment my even older D300 cameras)
I appreciate that! Have fun with the D700.
the D700 beats the shit out of them in terms of color
The D700 keeps on surprising me.
Nothing can match the D700 colour tones/hue and its Legendary CFA.
With every jump in resolution, the colour filters are further weakened. After the D700, Nikon altered CFA filters in order to boost high ISO performance and fit a bigger number of mpx in the same size sensor. But this required making the filter less discriminating.
The colour discrimination of the specific CFA allows the separation as a unique shade of any single basic colour. Modern cameras lighter CFAs simply cluster similar shades of a single colour. The colours that are lost because of never being captured in the first place can never be recovered nor “cooked"
Week filters like the D850 one, have more overlap between the R, G, and B channels which allows more light through to the sensor. This helps support the greater pixel density of high-resolution sensors and their improved high-ISO performance but degrades the ability of these sensors to detect subtle tonal shifts.
La migliore colorazione è quella della D4
To my eye the D700 and D850 had the best colours.
👍
I think that may have been partly down to choice of different subjects shot with the different cameras.
Hanno due tonalità di colore completamente diverse...
Great photos, you can't tell from which camera they were taken. It's nice to see that old cameras are not worse - just a bit slower and new ones only offer more possibilities.
Thanks for watching and commenting. What are you shooting right now?
@@Adventure8 I shoot with the Fuji XT-2 and am a self-confessed zoom lens photographer. I usually only use prime lenses in the evening and in bad weather. I shoot mostly in the city and landscapes. My next camera will be another Fuji, but I'm waiting for a real upgrade of the sensor.
Enjoyed your comparison and great photos too.
I have my D700 I bought back in 2010 and still using it. Love the beautiful colours it produces and the resolution is not an issue at all.
Cheers
Thanks for sharing
I mainly use my D750 and have done through 2021. However I did get my super-sub D700 out recently and it never fails to produce a gasp of breath when I open up the files. For color rendition it can’t be beaten.
👍
Thanks for sharing your experience with great comments....I have the D500 & always enjoy using it with the different lenses I have although I don't have a 105mm lens....as a hobbyist I just love taking pics of whatever interests me when out shooting....I really enjoyed your video... cheers 😀
Thanks for watching!
One thing caught my attention, the images from the D700 have a refinement or something like that, which makes the images more pleasant. I have more modern cameras like the D750 and so on, but the images from the D700 have something special.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love my D700...and I also use the D7100. Fell in love with the Nikon FA back in 1986.
👍
I have a D700 and D600 in full-frame Nikon and have to say, in my opinion, the D700 gives the most 'Wow' pictures. I got rid of my crop Nikons in favor of the Olympus EM1 purely because of the small size and image stabilization. Great for street, macro, and wildlife. For everything else, I love the Nikons.
👍
I tried the new/current denoising and upscaling AI in lightroom on an old D700 raw file. And within about 15 mins I had purchased used one from MPB.
I loved my d700, was probably my favourite camera of all time. I eventually upgraded it, and while noise and resolution improved, as did autofocus and live view, the "look" of the image on newer sensors never quite had the same punch. In editing if you tried to recreate the look it always came out looking too artificial. But now I have the magic again.
👍 yep, AI is a game changer. New life for the D700. Yeah.
Hello, what is IA??@@Adventure8
A beautiful video. Thanks. I do use D850 besides D600. The pictures are similar. Cropping is easier with bigger files. My old horse is a canon 5D, which I think is the best feel good camera for me.
Thanks for sharing! Like you with your Canon, I often go back to my older cameras. It gives me better appreciation for both, how good the older cameras are and how camera technology has advanced.
Great video, there's still a lot of life left in these older bodies... and the cameras too.😂 I love my d7000. Cheers.
👍
Thank you for this video. I'm using a Z50. It's my first Nikon since my N6006 and N8008 days in the 1980-90s. Considering a Nikon DSLR purchase. From your video, you have helped me focus on the D500. Much appreciated.
👍
I did like your video and the beautiful photos. I shoot with a Nikon D700 and I love it. I wouldn’t trade it for any of the other models tested. The D700 colors are second to none I believe that sensor has magic built in.
Excellent.
Very nice sound track! I have a D700 from back in the day because i thought i could use my old film camera lenses on it. Pulled it out again recently. It is a beautiful camera.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video, I found the d700 images just a bit better, the colours looked brighter. A very nice lens cheers.
Great to hear!
I don't have a D700, I have two of them! I love that old beast that much and only bought a D750 for the dynamic range it offers, not the mega pixels.
The D700 has an incredible following. Great camera.
Il rumore cromatico della d750 e inferiore alla d700 inoltre af d750 e nettamente superiore a bassi ev
You have a new subscriber my friend. I have an even older camera. I shoot with the Nikon D90, which I absolutely love. Plus it was an absolute bargain second hand!
Much appreciated. Glad you are having fun with your D90. In fact, a borrowed my friends unloved D200 this week to do another video comparing the D200 to my D500. Video out during the next week. There is a lot to be admired about old camera kit.
Just bought another D700. Now I have two.
Nice
I still have a number of film cameras of all sorts. For DSLR however I like my old D700. Once I purchase a camera I very seldom sell any no matter how old the camera or myself gets. I enjoyed the video.
Thanks for sharing and watching. Cheers Peter
I think what it showed was that a 200 > 300mm on a full frame is likely to provide a better opportunity to frame an endearing composition than the wider view of the 105. At least, that is what suits my kind of more minimaIist photo visuals style. To me all the cropped pics made for a better photo composition and subject. I have D70, D300, D700 & D5300 and use mainly 20mm Nikkor AI, 200mm f2.8 Nikkor and tamron SP zooms 24-135mm f3.5-5.6 and the Adaptall 60-300mm f3.5-5.6. Also use Canon 5D mk2, Pentax K-m (sweet), Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mk3, E-20P & E-P3, Lumix G5, Fujifilm x-S1, Nikon FM, Nikon F90x, Nikon F65, Canon 300n & 300v & sureshot AF-7 & multi-tele, Pentax MZ-30, Olympus OM1, Minolta Dynax 5 & 505si & XG-1, Hasselblad 500c, Bronica ETRSi, Rolliecord Va, Widelux 150, Kodak model 118, Zorki-4, Oly u[mju:]-1 & -2, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-1700 & my various 5x4in cameras (if I could afford the film) 😢
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
Thank you. Have reviewed this presentation now three times. Today using my Z 50. N1V1, tomorrow I will purchase the D700. Eventually the Df. Really liked your 105 renderings. likely will add a 28MM 1.4 or 1.8 to the D700. Appreciate your guidance on lens(es) for the D700?
Fantastic, glad you found the video useful. Welcome to the D700 fan club.
I have both the D500 and D850 but I really enjoy my D700 and D3s. Not interested in the Z system yet. I enjoy the pics I get with my current DSLRS and lenses. I did get a Sony A6600 which performs well and is light and small.
👍
also have a D700 and a D3S because I love the colors and character of these sensors. I would also like a D4 or a Df but for certain shots I was thinking about a D500. I would be interested to know, since you have all of these cameras, if you notice much difference in the colors and noise levels at high ISOs on the D500 compared to the other two.
@@mistergiovanni7183 The D700 has a nice creamy grain at ISO 3200. I have a D4s that is incredible at higher ISOs even over 20K. The D500 is good too. I like the D700 and D3s colors compared to the other cameras but those are not that bad. It seems I have to shoot at a slightly higher exposure compensation for the D500 to suit my tastes, They are all great cameras nonetheless
Great video - right up to the theme... that we raised in one Russian photo forum - one guy upscaled studio photos in LR from D700 to 47 mpx fo D850 - and there was big difference... only the colours of D700 were... better!
I've been using D600, D750 then went to D300s, got D700 and had D800 and at the end of the day I still keep matching all those colours to the D700 output. For portraits and people photography to choose the right lens is more important. You have showed that you cant distinguish a camera looking ant the pictures. With a modern software you van even match a camera output. You can recover highlights and shadows with one=two clicks. Great video, great pictures and great examples!
Thanks for watching and really appreciate your comments and experiences. On the lens side, what focal length/s are you most shooting, eg Super wide, 24, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, 200mm, super telephoto?

@@user-zv6qu4ks1p what is cfa?
@@Adventure8 Sorry for delayed answer. It’s Nikon 35 + 85 most of the time any 135 ais manual
Already have a d4s, getting a second this week. Ive owned d610s though, and images were stunning.
👍
I have a d810 but just traded my d 800e for a d3 with 8500 shutter actuation. Still have my old d3 but shutter quit. Love the pro bodies. Sold my d4 ..big mistake. Great video.....
Thanks for watching and commenting. I am yet to get a pro body, I use a pro grip for the D500 and D850 from time to time. Great for studio work.
I am trying to decide between the DSLRs. I enjoyed your video, but I didn't find it too useful for making a decision.
I find every time I get a new camera, (I tend not to sell the old ones), I learn more about the pros of the old cameras. So I enjoy using my DSLR's, the D700, D500 and D850. The Z6 I mainly use for video. The D500 for adventure travel. The D700 for a day outing and the D850 when I have a paying client (max quality and detail). So, no one camera does it all. Let me know what you decide.
D700 is a no brainer and if you do portrait work pair it with 85mm Lens believe me is epic you won’t regret it!
Well, yeah of course MP matters. But to whom? General purpose photography like street, weddings etc can use any MPs but technical photography like I do of older buildings interiors and exteriors for presentation the largest amount of detail you can fit into an image is vital. The same as when I'm doing photogrammetry, more technical resolution matters a lot.
Thanks for your comments. Great case were mega pixels do matter. Thanks
I'm surprised so many favored the D700, given the photo samples. Imo, the strong point of the D700 is portraits/headshots, of which none were provided.
I tuned in to see the 105 in action because I have thought about purchasing it.
Yes, there is a huge following for the D700. I enjoy using all 4 cameras. Love the 105mm f1.4. Need to use it more often.
Like your video. Walking a lot in nature and on beaches in bad weather, I love the feel of a solid camera. Still use my old D700 sometimes, but D800 has become my go to Nikon. Even when I crashed one D800 the D850 was not realy on my mind, so I got another D800 - it is cheap and delivers for landscabephotos. I had a D500 for sportsphotos, but sold it after a year. It has great AF and speed, but I never used it for anything than a litle sports, less than 5000 click. Z6, never tried it, but perhaps in the future. I have a Sony a7II for vintage lenses, and I am not happy with that toycamera, so a new mirrorless will probaly be a Nikon Z?
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I started out shooting kodachrome 25 on my nikon f and now i use fuji 50 in my F4, FE and FM3a. I've owned a D200, D70, D7100 and D610...none of them beats my D700 for color rendition. and since i don't need high fps or fast auto focus for what I do...i think i'm done with new technology. One thing i do wish i owned is a Leica M3 with 50 mm summicron F2 strictly for b&w phography.
Thanks for sharing your photography story and desires.
D700!
👍
Looking for a nice D700 right now and given that the human eye can't resolve much more than 240dpi, that 12Mp sensor will produce a clean A3 size image straight out of the camera. Add to the fact thats its also clean up to ISO6400, then its the bargain of the decade. Want to shoot sports, then the D500 is the right choice. Landscapes and portraits? It's a winner.
Great summary. Thanks for watching.
Great and unbiased comparison.
I really enjoyed your shots. I bought My Nikon D700 yesterday and it will arrive tomorrow. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
Glad it was helpful!
I have the D850 and a D7000 with a few F Mount Screw Drive Lenses. Not planning on getting a Z Nikon. Even with the F to Z Adapter I would loose Auto-focus capability on many of my lenses. If anything I would purchase another D850 or maybe a D500.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I still love going back to my DSLR D850 and D700 and my IR modified D800.
The D700 is one of the best DSLR's ever made, still using it today, rock solid, fantastic in low light, still produces some of the best images ever!
👍
Nice video, but I'll be waiting for another one comparing the same shot for each of them side by side.
I'm a hobbyist, photographering my family, occasions, portraits and some landscape. I use Nikon D5300 with Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 (apsc coverage), Samyang 85mm F1.4 (full frame), and Nikon DX 18-140mm. Thinking of taking the huge step to Full Frame, I'm comparing D750 vs D600 vs D700. The latest is the cheapest, and also I found many pet attached to this old camera for its colors and low light performance which I care for so much.
Any suggestion will be great, for the body and suitable zoom lens.
One day
I have the D700 and D4.. the problem I find with mirrorless is that there's a delay between the real world and the viewfinder because it's electronic. It's a fraction of a second. But the moment you see on the viewfinder is already passed in real live. I have had one. For example a jumping hors is in the air on the viewfinder but already landed in real live..And for sports quite annoying. Also for days behind the camera electronic viewfinder give fatigue for the eyes. So that's my experience....
Thanks.
Its easier to tell the difference between cameras if you shoot paintings. The best color camera I have is the Samsung nx mini.
👍
I have a Z6 which I love. I had a D850 but sold it and got a good price. My mouth is watering for a D700 in excellent condition. I still have all my F lenses.
Thanks for sharing. It's good the FTZ adapter works so well for the f-lenses. The D700 seems to have a strong following. It will be interesting to see how the price changes over time.
A lot of you photos were shot at maximum shutter speed. Even stills where you could have gone down in iso to retain maximum dr och minimum noise. There's no need for 1/8000s iso 400 on a bright day shooting a non moving object. Lower iso to native, in your cameras base iso is 100, in some shots you were down on iso 64 with is electronically decreased. Good video, but try to keep more focus on the technical aspects since this is supposed to be a comparison between megapixels, and not noise and dr handling.
Good points. Thanks
it doesn't if you are not printing bigger than 30x20, it doesn't if heavy cropping is not part of your work flow. You have to consistently take advantage of higher pixel count for it to matter.
👍
I use D850 and D500 for 2 years, and at this point I am go forward to buy a uased D700 body in eBay.
Thanks your video to help me make the decision.
Glad it was helpful!
i have two D700 :)
Excellent
@@Adventure8 I have five with less than 2000 clicks of 4 of them.
The 5 one is new out of the box!
I felt the D700's 12mp sensor when cropped in didnt hold up to the other 3 camera. Those all seems about the same from the 20mp upto the 45mp.
And I started with Nikons, used my dad's D70 and D90 way back in the day a couple times but wasnt interested. Then after dropping out of College my dad got the D7200 and he let me shoot some on it and I took interest so he gave me a cheap Kodak 1.3mp camera to use. Hated the camera and my cheap phone at the time had 16mp so I used it up untill I bough myself a Coolpix P610 in 2017. After that I fell in love with photography and bought the B700, P1000, then went mirrorless and bought my current camera I use in Spetember 2019 the Sony A7R III. I also own a Sony A6100 as a speare/wife's camera. My wife dabbles a little with photography and she started with my P610 then moved upto the B700 before getting the A6100 which she rarely uses now so this is why I use it as a spare.

Still perfectly happy with my D500.
Yep, still use my D500 often also.
My D4 still amazes me.
👍
As for the nicest look I have to say D700 still has it!
👍
Less mp the larger the photocytes the more light, and noise stops looking like noise but like grain that's aesthetic and pleasing
👍
12mp are sufficient for A3 prints! Furthermore, the camera is solid and ergonomic.The new mirrorless cameras are delicate toys in comparison...I love the d700 😊
Thanks for sharing
Labdien! Not much to add, really. Any of these cameras, from the Z6 to the D700, churn out an A4-A3 print size picture easily, regardless of the pixel count, but the lens quality does play a role.
Sveiks and paldies. Yes, it's worth spending the money on great lenses. Thanks for watching.
If you can find a D700 for $500 its the best value in a camera bar none. There is something special about the D700. A PANASONIC SENSOR and PENTAX IMAGE PROCESSOR makes this camera very unique in Nikons line, with unique pastel color palate and a 3D effect not seen on other Nikons.
Thanks for sharing.
I have the D700 and love it. It's a workhorse. Thinking to get another body Z6 ii or D500 ! Which one do you reccon..?
Thanks for watching. The Z6ii or D500? Good question. Both are great, 2 possible criteria for selection might be, if video is important, Z6ii is the go, if a cropped sensor offers advantage to you and you have a bunch of existing FX F-lenses, the the D500 might be the choice. Let me know what you decide.
@@Adventure8 thanks, I may be go for D500 for its autofocus alone & build quality. Nikon mirrorless is not there yet I would wait for another 2 years to let them come with camera like Canon R6.
I will still use Nikon D700 today in 2022 no doubt.
Yep, outstanding camera
Loving my D700. I use mine for portraiture and the skin tones it produces are undeniable.
Thanks for sharing
Really odd! Due to the limited resolution of one's monitor even the blow up sections of each shot are unlikely to show any difference in resolution due to that of the sensors used. One also has to bear in mind that if shots are taken handheld much of the advantage of high resolution sensors will be lost due to camera shake even using VR and high speeds. Maybe also though the use of the full aperture of the lens may well give an advantage enabling higher shutter speeds and narrower depth of field it is likely that much of this will have to be offset by vignetting, lower contrast and lower resolution than the lens is able to give at say,f5.6. As to colour the D700 is famed for its rendering of colour but what you end up with depends very much on both any post processing and screen calibration. Sorry but apart from useful comments on handling the various combinations the exercise although well produced and entertaining was rather pointless.
Thanks for watching and commenting
There are most photos made with good and abundant natural light. Is it necessary to manipulate the D850 as if it were a Linhof? If so, I'll keep the freedom of 12 MPX sensors. I do agree that it would have been useful to add the photos in 5.6 where performance and image quality would be another and gather a little more evidence to come to some more grounded conclusion.
I’ll go for d850.
Thanks for your vote. What are you shooting now?
Is it cause the megapixels?
Save your money for glass….give me a 500 dollar D700 anytime…add quality lenses….done for a lifetime! (add a 300 dollar GoPro)
Yep, best value for money.
I still have my D700 and use a D7100 for the reach. The D700 images have a "feel", especially when I create monochrome images. I also like to use it with a Pano head and stitch those 12mp images into highly detailed images
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the D700. Cheers
I went back from D810 to Df
Hi res Nikon pictures and lenses didn't taste good for me
I'm also a Leica shooter
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy New Year
There was one clear winner in my opinion.......D700
👍
Same results with NikonD70, Nikon D700 and Nikon D600. Nikon D70 cost £30
👍
Your d850 autofocus needs calibration
Interesting.. I hadn't noticed but will test accordingly..Thanks
By these photos in this video, the D700's are all a bit pale and less dynamic range very obvious comparing to its younger friends.
👍
Those photos are not f1.4 no way!
Yep, they are as labeled in the video
If you're going to compare 45mp to lesser megapixel cameras, try using a lens that's actually capable of resolving 45mp.
The 105mm 1.4 is barely sharper than the 85mm 1.4G, which can only resolve 24mp (at most).
Redo your test with a 28mm 1.4E, 200mm F2, 300mm 2.8, or 400mm 2.8 (or Sigma 105mm 1.4) if you want real results, and not total BS.
Thanks for commenting. I don''t have any of the lenses you mentioned. I would however love to test them. Any loaners you can provide?
@@Adventure8 why would I loan some random wacko on UA-cam a $2-6k lens?
Hi Griniflix, some -negative- feedback on how I find your posted video;
--> in short; why do you post? Is it only clickbait? If only that was the goal, be clear about it, I now just feel like I learned nothing and I wasted my time.
After watching the video I clicked comments because I thought I might get some more in depth explanation, in stead I got a huge amount of irrelevant Amazon links; Zeiss, Gopro,...
WHY? To make us use the links and you get some $ %?
"...DOES IT MATTER..." in the title, kind of implies you give viewers an answer of your opinion.
If you want US, the viewers to be able to form an opinion about what and how you posted; you chose the wrong format and the wrong way to do that. In a video at LEAST, I would like to see pictures taken on the same location and on screen side by side, with your comments. I'm not alone in this, another replied the same.
If you're just describing the way each handle, I didn't find any info that is not obvious by looking a few seconds at the specs.
Great for you that you own all these camera's and lenses but it does not make for a good video content just because of that.
To me the video is like a long drawn out question to what WE viewers think about it. Again; if only that was the goal, be clear about it, I now just feel like I learned nothing and I wasted my time.
I viewed some other tempting titles from other video's of you, they are all the same to me; disappointing.
PS I also have a lot of gear from a FM2 to a D6 and travelled 3 years across Australia alone with my 3 dromedaries , travelled overland to Tibet and Mongolia, crossed Africa; 35.000km on a XT500 and then some, but don't claim to be able to make a good UA-cam video.
Thanks for watching and your review of my channel. Sounds like I have a lot of potential to improve my channel. Hopefully with time it gets better. I suggest stop watching my video's, unsubscribe and come back again one day in the future to see if there is any improvement. Great choice of bike, the XT500. I had one for awhile. My biggest challenge with the XT was kick starting it, the kick back was leg shattering if you didn't perfect the start process. Tibet, Mongolia and more of Africa are still on my to do ride list. Have fun. Thanks for watching.
Peter- I can away from the video believing, as I already did, image quality is the same, regardless of how many pixels are involved. The native resolution only affects print size.
Good images depend on your problem solving ability and not your camera. My 6mp images look just like my 24mp images, only smaller.
Thansk for your comparison. can't find any noticeable difference among those pictures form different gears. I have a D750 and am considering buying a D700 for its reputaion. It is just one year since I started shooting. But almost everybody praise D700. Is it worth buying a D700 in 2023? And higher resolutions from D8xx attracts me. But in this case, have to upgrade my PC parts. I don't think I am fully using my D750 now. So it seems I don't need more cameras. Nevertheless, every morning I search the trade site. Maybe I love not pictures but gears. Not a genuine photographer.
The D750 is an outstanding camera. Needless to say, it’s fun having more cameras to use. Older gear can be great value, subject of course to your personal budget. D700 is one of those classics.
Stick with 750. It's fantastic too. Don't upgrade or buy 700. Enjoy your shooting. Buy some good quality fx lens and hang in there for 5 years. These 8xx prices will go down and while u can grab a mint condition D850.
why 1.4... doesnt resolve maximum resolution of the lens so complete waste of time
