Nice to watch a UA-cam where the guy knows what the hell he's talking about. I'm 68, been shooting since 1971. I love my D700. Solid, intuitive, heavy enough to offer assistance in low light slow shutterspeed handheld situations. Great video Carmine. Love your background setting for the video.
I have a D850, D3s, and D700. I enjoy the D700 the most and I often use a 24-85 3.5 lens. It is an underrated sharp lens. Got the D700 with 6000 clicks for $400.
I have the same lens on my D700. It’s astoundingly good!
Loved the video. I finally got my hands on a Nikon D700 and I love it. Got it in excellent condition. I always wanted this camera when it came out and I finally got one.
Hey, I am so excited about the nikon D700, best color science in a dslr
Hi Carmine, great review. Many years ago Nikon published optional picture controls for the D700, D3 series and D300. They are (mostly) still about but only through the Nikon china website. The D700 ones give Portrait, Landscape and D2X colour modes. They took a a while to find and the website pages have to be translated from Chinese.
Thanks for the info!
Carmine, what a refreshing video. Love my d700. NY photographers have so much to offer and do. It is nice to hear clean language though. Thx so much.
Good stuff Carmine. Ive owed 3, purchased newer, even the latest Nikon DSLRs and always returned to my D700. Decided to get the D300s and a D3s.
Found all of them with less than 2000 shutter clicks. Such beautiful cameras.... A work of art, craftsmanship we probably will never see again. Great photos and thanks for this nice video
my D700 did fail after about 100k clicks, five or so years of use. I replaced it with a D800e. I actually preferred the experience and file handling of the D700 though sand really miss it . Per your suggestion i have found a used one, at about 1/10th of what I paid for my original D700!
You always have such great photos! Even though I really don't use a digital camera, your videos are packed with info and fun to watch Thanks Carmine.
I am very happy you enjoy this channel 😀
The D700 is simply great. The same goes for the D3, of course. I love these colors. Incredibly valuable cameras. I never give my D3 back. Thanks for the great video!
Carmine, I enjoyed your presentation on the D700, a legend. Over the years I’ve seen your name in various comments on other UA-camrs pages, and I noted you were from NYC. I was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Long Island, but have been in Jersey since 1978. In High School (72 graduate) I got my first dslrs… a Minolta Srt-101, a Fujica St901(I think) and finally fell in love with a Nikon FE2, which I had all through college. In my adult life (after raising a kid, etc) I put down the camera for a number of years..life happens…then I was dragged kicking and screaming into the digital world. My first digital dslr was a Canon Eos d20, which was stolen. Then I replaced that with a Nikon D700 which I loved, but then I was stricken with severe psoriatic arthritis, which made hand holding a dslr too painful and uncomfortable. I had to sell that , and tried the newfangled mirrorless camera, a Sony a6000. I never cared for the Sony menu system, the colors were terrible, and it just never felt like an organic extension of my hand the way that Nikons did. Once I was able to get better medical attention to my arthritic condition, I had a bit more strength in my hands and decided to try Fuji, which The Angry Photographer (Ken Wheeler) turned me on to. I had an XT2, then an XT3 for a few years. The Fujis were more easily tolerated by my hands and they felt more organic..definitely gave me a Nikon “feel”. But I always yearned to go back to Nikon..last year I purchased a Nikon Z6II and have a few Of their Z mount lenses. I’ve been happy with the Z6II…I am still in awe of the older Nikon slrs such as the D700. If memory serves me correctly, I believe they my have used a Pentax sensor in that model…the colors and rendering are very film-like. Not in the budget currently, as I’m retired and somewhat disabled, so shooting possibilities are more limited to me now. Anyway, I enjoyed your video, and you’ve gained a new subscriber. Thanks Carmine!
Thank you for your kind words and your photography legacy ..peace
Very nice work, thanks.
Hi Carmine, I really appreciate this video! I just bought my first camera (that wasn't a hammy down from someone else) and I went with the D700! I was able to get the body, OEM grip, charger, and four batteries for $285+$15 shipping. This video made me even more excited to use this amazing camera!
Hey that's great news..I absolutely must tell you that my D700 is my favorite camera, I have owned over 128 different makes and models of digital and film cameras over my 50 years as a photographer..the d700 is my favorite..there will never be another one like it..peace from MANHATTAN NYC
PS. I love how beautifully the work with the older but brilliant D series lenses. Fabulous video.
I appreciate your kind words so much, thanks.💝
Love my D700! Super reliable and consistently great shots. Thanks for an informative video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great class. Where else could you get this kind of information? No where, glad you are on top of this kind of informaton. Always learn something new with these.
Wow, thank you!
You are one of man who say English and I understand, almost all. Nice story telling. Im user of F6,5,FM3a,D800 and any other but the images from D700 are special…,regards Mirek…
I really enjoyed this thank you so so much For taking the time to explain and learn me a few things! I've had a passion for photography since I was a child but have only taken mine with cell phones I’ve never owned a camera and that one is a Beauty! I’ve always said a picture can say a thousand words , thank you for sharing, I love your works and your tips! The D700 is exactly what my Dreams are for having one day! Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year! 🎊
You are so welcome!
Best overall DSLR ever produced, the images it produces are so stunning, even some 17 years after it's initial release!
Yep, I agree 💯
The D700 is my go to for it all. Thank you for the information 🙏 😊
My pleasure!
Great review, Carmine! I picked up my D700 in 2011 for about $2,300 it is STILL my go-to workhorse for the last 11 years chugging along with 85,000+ actuations. It was Nikon's #2 camera at the time behind the D3 and considered the D3's "little brother with all of the great pro features of the D3 in the D300 body". All along I always thought the D700 was a somewhat underrated gem and never got the recognition it deserved. That's OK because I have one and I love it. The D3s and D4s look mighty tasty but I would take another D700 in a heartbeat!
Agreed. I have used D3 and D4 and I go back to D700 because the quality and colors of the images are awesome..peace always from New York City
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography I thought D3 and D700 have the same sensor/colors/etc, isn't it? (..or maybe ~95% the same?)
@@pefren777 Extremely close results are obtained with Nikon D3 / D700. That's what makes them highly prized by professional photographers, "USE THE D3, AND THAT D700 AS A BACK UP"
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography oh great, thank you for answer! Thought about to change d3 to d700 cause of somebody's comment like "d700 has waaaay better image quality than d3". You saved my time and brain :))
Yes love the pop up flash, is it really a trigger on this camera?
PERFECT ! nicely spoken and not bollocks, right about Ebay too.
Thank you so much
I have Nikon d5200 and it’s 10 years old but still takes pretty amazing photos 😁
Great robust very capable camera even today.
Once again, Professor, I have to complain again about UA-cam posters not letting viewers know the limited size of the media SD/CF cards that some of these older cameras can utilize. Some of these cards are hard to find in a size that they can use and you won't find them at Best-Buy or Walmart, and the local camera store is going the way of the Dodo Bird and some of the surviving good stores still have to order in a small GB card.
NIKON D700 IS compatible with CF CARDS UP TO 64GB..NOT BAD AT ALL, AND VERY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.COM
So obsessed with your pics ✨
Hey, thank you so much :)
Carmine, you forgot to mention with the mbd10 grip and enel4a you can get 7fps I think you had it on slow burst
Such a nice done presentation! Thanks for this! :-)
I truly appreciate your kind words...Thank you
Just got one on eBay with only a 6500 shutter count. I love my mirrorless gear, but DSLR’s will always have a special place in my heart.
Totally agree!
Carmine, I too bought my d700 in 2008 with the battery grip. Never ran out of battery. How long since I shot mine? 10 minutes. Not as sharp as my d850 but plenty sharp for the internet and after 15 years of use, I have gotten my moneys worth out of it. I use it for lens testing and currently speeding up my manual focus of my zeiss 85 1.4 planar for street/event on a f100 or my main camera now, an f6 that is my all time favorite camera. Love the mamiya 645 pro tl for street/ event but with topaz gigipixel ai, I can make 20" digital prints from my portra or tmax or acros shots. The f6 shots cost me about half that of the 645 shots and my zeiss/voigtlander and older nikon glass is stellar. The downside is when I develop 2 roll, have 72 shots to convert and edit. With the 645, 2 rolls on the same developing tank reel only has 30 shots. They all look alike thanks to the italian designer in 1995 who designed the f5 and several times I have intended to take the f100, f5 or f6 off my dining room table in haste and got to the shoot with the d850 by mistake or vice versa. Yes, the grip is wonderful, the entire design is fantastic and the colors that the d700 kick out are gorgeous. With a voigtlander 58 1.4 nokton, when I check the lcd one word comes to mind, wow.
me encanto tu video
yo estoy esperando mi nikon d700 de aliexpress y la espero disfrutar tambien
felicidades por comprar una cámara Nikon D700, te encantará... disfrútala
Carmine-thanks for the effort and the sharing. Do you have a preferred AF set-up for the D700? I've been using AFC/single point/BBF. thoughts? thumbs up.
I stick with single, center, point, focus until I need to capture something moving, then of course..c af
❤❤❤. The Df is also a wonder.
I foolishly sold my D700 a few months ago. I instantly regretted it, so ended up buying another one. Nikon put the special sauce on that D700 sensor!
yes indeed
I love my D700. Compact, fast, reliable. I shoot sports reports for it. 8 fps with grip.
I bought both a D3 and D700 when I was shooting weddings and other events. The quality of both was eye opening so my D300’s were put away.
The sensors were the reason for the quality of images. The 90% viewfinder and single mem card of the D700 were easy to get used to.
The more recent Z7 which has no 3D Focus Tracking is rarely used. Does anybody else use their D3 voice recorder?
Your D700 is what you make it.🙅🏽🕺🏼2022
Love my D700. Excellent video and information. I like this approach with no music under the talking, then music with the photos...keep it going Carmine
Thank you so much.. 👍
+Carmine Taverna I've heard such great things from photographers about how this camera reproduces colors extremely well. Is that when shooting in raw or JPEG format? I understand that when shooting in JPEG The camera will essentially "develop" the photo whereas in RAW you are just getting the unmastered data. Sorry for the ignorant question. I don't know a lot about photography yet.
Hi, great question actually. The color science in the Nikon D700 is shown, without further processing in the jpegs it produces, they are high level photographs. Also, the RAW files have the colors in them as well, but, you must pull them out in post processing software. I always say, the jpegs are marvelous "straight out of the Nikon D700".
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thank you so much. I want to practice shooting JPEG first while I get better at composition. I already have a d7000 but found a d700 nearby for very cheap so I may get that too.
We miss that pop up flash :(
.... 10/10 + excellent
Good nigjt i was considering upgrading to a full frame from my Apsc Nex 5r , im getting the D700 for 400 cdn with 50 1.8 lens other option is a D750 just the Body for 400 cnd the 700 have 26000 click and the 750 40000 clicks ..wich one u think i should grab
Without hesitation...Nikon D700
The picture at the end of the video are post-producted?
You suggest the D700 for travel photography? The weight is not a problem?
Thank you for the answers.
Hi from Italy.
Hello,
The Nikon D700 is a heavy animal..with lens and battery maybe 2 kilos. However, it is my bambino and it goes with me traveling...
Peace from New York City
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography thank you from Milano, Italy.
What lens or lenses did you use with the D700 in the sample images? Looks really great.
Hello, for most of the shots in this video I used the Nikon AF-S ED 70-300mm f4.5-5.6G lens. It has awesome VR (vibration reduction).
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thanks! I got an older 70-300 ED non VR and while the 300mm end is okay, I was never thrill about its performance. I was wondering how much of a difference the VR version makes and it looks like a great lens from your samples.
@@slr7075 hello, VR (vibration reduction) is like using a tripod for every hand held shot..vr is awesome 👌
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Thanks for the helps on this camera, I will be opening up my D700 tomorrow after work day ends and now I know what lens to purchase. You rock Carmine!!! Hugs from Texas!

Thank you!
thank you!
You're welcome!
My D3X and D850 are owesome. Wait Z8 and S series ❤.
check out my D850..lol ua-cam.com/users/shortsHltQUHWK0QY
I love my Legend. Still happy to grab it and takes some shots. A real Great Camera. 12 mpx is more than enough. Thanks for your video. 🙂
If you see me around Manhattan. Look in my right hand, in it will be my Nikon D700 😃
My favorite camera I have ever owned. 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hello...I just checked eBay they currently go for $450 in mint condition...save $37.50 a month, and this time next September, you will own a D700🙂
Enjoy your videos Carmen.But sorry to say this your Dog is better looking😂😂😂
Omg 😲 OK, I agree 👍
p.s. got one for £300 from Ebay 15000 shutter count, slight fogging on lcd hardly noticeable and waiting for a 28-300 zoom from Japan £474 inc postage.
That's very good news..enjoy that Nikon work of art.
Many thanks Carmine.
I have two of these cameras
That is fantastic, Nikon never made another camera like the D700 since.
D700 is great. But watch out if you ( like i ) pair it with D3s. Prepare yourself for very big difference in color of the images between these two cameras.
How do their color compare?? In your own experience/opinion...
@@blizzbee Image from Nikon D3s is greenish . Image from Nikon D700 far more eye pleasing, towards red/magenta. Seriously , after i came back from a walk with theses two cameras and just one lens, i couldn't believe how different were the results. I still have samples but i guess cannot load them to youtube.
@@tomaszbrys1426 Thanks so much, very useful info there. i have experience from D800 (2012-now) , D600 (2021-now) and D700 (last month-now).
All three models yield all different pictures. D800 is the most (too much) yellowish and requires only best lenses to shine, D600 is fine but quite flat and lifeless/boring. D700 has something in the gradient, the way color shade goes from one to another is so nice but D700 has the worst dynamic range. Their feel in hand lead me to different use. So i use them for different kind of shoot. Their noise are all different in their own waysss but i rate them equal scores.
I got D600/D700 for less than $300 with shutters under 10k... Lucky me!
I'm not a full time pro but DSLRs are important tools i use in my daily work to create contents.
I want your opinion on D3 because it could be my next acquisition, only if i found the good nice cheap one.
@@blizzbee I've not had much experience with D3. I can only imagine that it's image is the same as D700. I have D3s which doesn't go out with me for landscape shooting any more( i cannot accept its colors vs D700 ). Interesting that you are not the first person with that opinion about D600.
Excelente câmera até hoje em 2023
Sí estoy de acuerdo
350 pound would not buy mine and nothing to do with 16.000 plus shots .
Agreed, that D700 is PRICELESS
You didn`t tell the viewers, that it can take 11 fps with the battery pack and battery.
P.S. I have a D700 great camera, I also have the D3 another great camera. And I really enjoyed your video.
With that battery, you should get 8 frames per sec.
Yes indeed.. 😁
I own and use both :) muhahaha :)
Hey big guy! Thanks for your informative video! I love my D700! I only have about 4k clicks on it. I haven't used it much since I purchased a D4s and D850. Thanks to videos like yours I'm seriously thinking about taking it on vacation to the Virgin Islands. My question to the more 'seasoned' photographers is which would you take. The D4s or the D700 which also has the battery pack?
Hey, glad you like my videos :) Now to answer your question, I would take the D700, for one reason, if it should get stolen, it would be less of a hard$hip to replace.
@@CarmineTavernaPhotography Wow!! That's the exact same reason why I wouldn't take my D850!! The D4s only has 3k clicks! Thanks!
