Nikon D700 - The Best Digital SLR Ever?

If your looking for the best of the best, and money is not option, and your into digital photography, or you just got a big inheritance, and have decided to buy the camera of your dreams, then I under stand why you would be looking at the Nikon D700 SLR. While it comes with a price tag of $3000, I'm sure you don't really care. The people that buy this camera, either have an unlimited budget, or are professional photographers. Otherwise, it's pretty much out of reach for the average consumer.

It may be priced high, but not without reason. One of the biggest reasons for that is the full frame sensor that is standard issue on the D700. What full frame means, is that the image sensor is the same size as the film frame would be in a conventional 35mm film camera. Very few digital cameras come with a full frame sensor, due to it's prohibitive cost to manufacture. One of the nicest things about full frame, is that you can use any lens that was designed with the 35mm format in mind.

Another impressive is the usable ISO range of the D700, which according to manufacturer specifications clocks in at 100 to 25,600. While that range may sound impressive it becomes difficult to use after 12800. Speed is another thing the D700 does well. What doesn't it do well? There are a few, but hang on a bit. You'll be able to grab 5 frames of photos per second, and with an impressive fifty one point auto-focus, I'll bet, that most of those pictures are in focus.

While there are a few nit picky problems some may find with the D700, they're hardly worth mentioning. Ok, I will. While balance can be flaky at time, and you can get more resolution from some of the competition. Competitors being the Canon 5D, and the Sony A900.

Getting the perfect camera, is never an easy thing, especially with the way digital technology is constantly changing. Fortunately, there are plenty of helpful websites online, that can narrow down your search and help you find the camera with all the features important to you
