    Love it!!! Subscribed. I'm a high school photo teacher, and in the early days of digital cameras with 2, 6, and 8mp cameras; I wish I had a video record of my telling sceptical students that, "One day, these cameras will have 12, 18, 20 even 40 some mp capabilities to even higher rediculous MP numbers. All that's enough to bog down our computers now, cant imagine the high (MB) computers that could handle these enormous files." And here we are now in the time of enormous MP cameras and laptops measured in Terribites. I use my D700 regularly. A stand alone Nikon that produces images with a signature quality look.

  • @AlphaCygni

    Incredible camera. Nikon really shaked the industry with the D300/D700 cameras.

  • @TaipeiGeek
    @TaipeiGeek 3 роки тому +12

    The images that sensor produces are spectacular even in 2021. But today it's all about high megapixels and high FPS. For people who just love photography, this camera is a steal.

    • @AlexanderRay92

    Very funny. You are great, Omar. Made my evening. I bought one last year with 5000 shutter activations. I call that new with a 50mm f1.4 lens and battery grip for about $600. Best deal ever. I am a Fuji shooter now but I love that tank of a camera. This and the D850 are probably the best DSLRs ever. I’ll get the D850 when everyone has gone mirrorless.

  • @denizkendirci

  • @GregWallis
    @GregWallis 3 роки тому +6

    Possibly the finest DSLR that Nikon had ever made. I've shot with one but never owned one. Shows that you don't need huge amounts of pixels, just a truly wonderful sensor. You can also buy a body in decent condition that's cheaper than an X100S.

    Wonderful. My old D700 was the camera I’d never sell. Until ALL my Nikon gear went to make way for Fuji. I just found one with a 400 shutter count! I couldn’t say no. I had to find a lens. 28-105 does the job for now. For all the reasons highlighted here I’m very happy.

    Still have mine and will never get rid of it. It’s simply a fantastic camera and true beast. Although I’m shifting to a much lighter mirrorless camera, I plan to whip out the D700 when I want those iconic film-like images. And it was cool having you take us back in time to 2008 😂

  • @JamesSymmonds
    @JamesSymmonds 3 роки тому +3

    Very funny! I had a D700 back around then. I loved it. The finger grip was deep enough that I could hang the camera off just my finger tips. I don't think I could do that with any of my current cameras. And the D700 was tough as nails.... except when it wasn't. Mine got a single grain of sand in it during a trip to Sydney for the NYE fireworks. Froze up the whole camera right before the early show started. (Fortunately, the J1 had just came out and I had one as back up.) I was finally able to get the grain of sand to move enough right before the main show. Other than that, it was a great camera for its time. Glad I don't have to carry all that weight anymore though.

    Funny man. The D700 was my money maker for weddings and overall probably the best camera I've owned. It just worked. But I sold it and the holy trinity set of lenses last year since I don't do professional photography anymore. My XT3 and X-T20 suit me very well these days and are way lighter, the photos are not as magical as with the D700 but they are good enough.

    2008 is when I started getting more into photography. Ended up getting the D90 first and had it for about 2 years until I got the D700. Had been collecting full frame lenses anyway so was set. I still have it with a 50 f1.4. D. Used it side by side with Fujifilm until Fuji got serious and I stuck with Fujifilm ever since.
