The D3, and later D700 Reviews here on DPR was a big time, together with the D300 for the APS-C Segment, Nikon had some kind of "holy Trinity" against Canon in terms of DSLR Bodies.

Is D700 still worth it? Only The D300s is still a camera of exceptional build quality. Features are still right up there, though there are some new things in the latest camera menus that the D300s doesn't have (HDR, time-lapse, more advanced movie settings, and a few others). The big liability, though, is in performance and value. So, Is the Nikon D800 still worth buying in 2022? Join me in todays landscape photography adventure, to find outthe Nikon D800 was released in 2012. It’s a 3 Nikon has gone so far to show us an image with the Df and two F-Mount lenses, the 55mm f/1.2 (a good lens) and the classic Nikon 43-86mm f/3.5 (1963-1976), which is actually Nikon's poorest-performing lens of all time; a lens so optically awful that it single-handedly gave all zoom lenses a bad reputation for the next two or three decades Get the D90 instead. The Nikon D90 is Nikon's newest and smartest DSLR. It has the same or better technical image quality as the D300 that costs much more, and it handles better and it makes movies, too! The D90 is newer and better than the D300, for a fraction of the price, so long as you prefer the D90's lighter plastic body. The D700 is a D3 with a smaller battery (unless you add the grip) and a cheaper finder screen system, and that's it. The D700 even has the superior rear thumb control of the D3, not the crappy single-piece thing from the D300. The D700 is a mostly improved version last year's $5,000 camera, for just $3,000. The scale on the left side is an indication of actual image resolution. The taller the column, the better the lens performance. Simple. For this review, the lens was tested on a Nikon D700 using The control scheme is just excellent - a thing to love about all Nikon DSLRs. All relevant camera functions can be accessed via buttons. I’d even say that the D700 control scheme is superior to the newer ones as found on the D800 and onwards. The D700 still has dedicated AF-Area and AF-Mode switches.
