Thought of the Nikon D700 FX Digital Camera

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

May I say why it was not be there earlier? Is that because of technologies barrier or Nikon did not response promptly to the market? And may I say that is the camera I have been waiting for long? That is built with a balanced set of state-of-the-art technologies and convenience design in mind, a merge of D300 body and D3 features, that really looks perfect to me.

I have been busy shooting with my Canon system (Get the Most from Your Camera & Lens Collection) in the past year and my Nikkor lenses collection (Nikon Nikkor Lens Mini-Review) were kept in an electronic dry box with humidity control for a while, now I would expect that is going to change because of the D700, my Nikkor will work in their full wide capabilities (though I already have a DX lens Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED) that is important to me as I do most in wide and ultra wide shots.

In additional to my existing Nikkor primes, I will be interested in adding a general-purpose zoom lens with the D700 into my Nikon collections, this is a native move to preserve my previous investment. The D700 calibration features for separate lens settings and high-iso capabilities means additional convenience and productivities.

I would hope the D700 comes with 16M pixels size, but I realized that Nikon would probably want to keep that cost down with an optimized 12M quality output instead of chasing up the pixel count war.
