I sold my last D700 4 years ago. It’s now late Sep 2022 & I’ve just bought another for £350 UK. 20k clicks, boxed, 2 condition 0 batteries, & super clean - BARGAIN! The output is really close to my D3S but subtly different. Loving it. ❤

Hi, sold my D3 about two years ago for an upgrade. Missed it like hell. Just picked one up, immaculate and boxed with four batteries with 3,200 clicks! Glad to have a D3 back! £650 in the UK.

I'm a Nikon D700 owner and I approve your message. The HD700 might not produce the most detailed images, but it's color richness and depth are phenomenal. D700+Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 = Magical.

I must confess, i've used d700 for 4,5 years and it I still remember it as a best nikon camera i ever had. I've made with it nearly 600 k and it did the job! I've made with it my best photos and i'm not lying, those 36 mpx in d800 where not satisfying me at all when i was printing 180x130 cm prints. It's awkward, but only now after years have passed i understood what a miracle camera it was. And i was printing even bigger files with it and it was ok those 12 mpx. I had no issues printing 3 meter panoramas or even bigger files... People who where buying my art work where asking me all the time the same question - what camera are you using? :) Believe it or not, but it was actually you "Angry photographer" from whom i got to know that the sensor of d700 was a toshiba make. Thank you! ;) It's a shame nikon do not deliver any more this kind of technology to buyers. All these people with pixel wars are pretty much techno-photographer and i met dozens of them. It makes me smile when time by time you hear people saying to you: O look, there is a new camera which has that amount of pixels, bla bla. Even now i could probably do better landscape photo with d700 than d800 and it's true and i'm not lying. Especially long exposures. The dynamic range i was getting from d700 was out of this world and for the same reason i miss it so much....

I just picked up a D3s and a D700 this week. Epic machines and your comments about build that we ain't gonna see this any longer is a reason I will be picking up more of these. This translates into buying the best glass you can since the cost of the cameras is a fraction of the original cost and more so if you factored in inflation. Your videos are laced with humor and intuitive evaluations that knock the snot out of hyper math dependent, academic/forensic pinhead reviews. In short, your reviews are brilliant...and I only watched this specific one AFTER I got the cameras though the D700 is my second used one. I have been using a Sony A6000, A7, and A77 Mark II recently and like the innovative things Sony dares to do with their cameras.... But now at these used price levels, I am able to also acquire classic and still very, very usable Nikon FX equipment ...... Plus have acquired some heavily discounted Canon APS-H models..... The fact is the market has gotten drowned in ever newer models when in fact all of these older cameras were creating the best images back when they were introduced and in fact still are more than capable of doing the same..... As you said about the D3, it IS a 6,000 dollar camera..... Can you imagine somebody in 2030 backward engineering a D3? Nope. So I agree with all your comments in this video and appreciate your sense of humor/irony since it shows your depth of knowledge and "feeling" and profound appreciation about this magnificently engineered equipment. RE the battery in the D3..it is native to the D2H, D2X, D2Hs, and D2Xs...and it is the grip battery for the D300, D300s..and by benign design as you mentioned for the D700 grip which boosts the FPS from 5FPS to 8FPS!! (the grip does similar speed boosts in the D300/D300s and in fact is the SAME grip!!)... This is a buyer's market for supposedly outdated absolute highest end pro equipment....Your video advances the notion that there is significant residual operational/user value in this so called outdated machinery...

Hello Angry Man! When you talk about an adapter to put into d700, is that the EH-5a/EH-5 AC power adapter? Thanks

I am wondering what is the current camera (not GFX) which has the similar output tone to D700?

I just got a D700 and I’m amazed how well it feels and performs for a 12 year old camera. We are at a point where these are dirt cheap, while they still are modern enough. Most people do not want to buy them because of the 12 MP sensor. The seller of my D700 even had to explain in his advert why 12 MP is still enough. I got it for €260 ($290) with a shutter count of 23k.

Hi Ken, my message could be of too late on this video, however, relative to this, what is your take on D3 and D700 for landscape and long exposure photography? Up to what size of print I could do to display on my living room? Thank you and appreciate your kind reply. Have a great day ahead.

Please help! I've been shooting w a D3s since it came out & recently purchased a used D700. It's super great, but I would LOVE for the # of shots remaining section on the control panel to be the number of shots taken. Is this possible to change? Thx!

your idea with nikon D3 and manual 300mm F4? does it work well thanks Zip

Hey I've been following you for a while and I just want some input on the d3. I just picked one up with under 70000 shutter clicks. Now do you still think that it's a very relevant camera for today's day and age of technology. Yes I will be getting the d4 soon but I like the low mp being that I don't print big or crop a bunch. I shoot sports and events that don't require a whole heap of detail. What's your thoughts?

What about choosing between a D3 and a D4? I'd like to hear about that, since I've seen recently your video about the latter. Thank you

Very good video Ken of the two best old school digital cameras out there. Keep up your good work mate.

I bought a D700 mostly because of this video. I later bought a D3, mostly because of this video. I love them both, amazing cameras. Bought them from Japan which means they are in nearly perfect condition.

hi gregpruitt I have some questions to you. which has louder shutter sound and which has harder vibration when shooting photos? I can't choose between d700 and d3

its 2022 - and most inside courts sports do not have good lighting - thus i need iso 4000-6400 ISO - will this d3 output clean images? or rather go for d750 but with 6 FPS lose shots?

I am planning to buy a Nikon d700 in 2019 for wildlife, Landscape and macro. Do you think it will be good? Can you suggest me something? Thank you

Should the larger pixels on the D700 or D3s sensor be considered when comparing them with more recent cameras like the D750?

I just bought a d3 with 2231 shots on it. It is just AWESOME. What a beautiful heavy beast of a camera it is!

How would you feel today about a choice between them? D3's and D700s are almost even on price on Ebay these days. I'm really torn!

Just picked you an outstanding D3 with 29,601 clicks in super condition on EBay for less than a $1k I am super excited :)

So I was able to pick up a D700 with 16K shutter clicks, 2 batteries, vertical grip, and 2 16GB memory cards for just $475 does that sound like I got a pretty good deal?

I'm just curious! What exactly is it that makes the Color Saturation just so Superior on the D700 compared to the D3? What is it in the firmware, filter, or? on the D3 that ""kills" the Color Saturation from the D700? What precisely is it that changes the D700 Color Saturation profile on the D3?

holding a D3s is like holding the original Dewalt 9.6W cordless drill, you just want to walk around with it for the feel of it.

Hi Ken, I would like to buy a second camera for my D700. It would be either the D3 or D3s. Here's the thing: I don't know if the better HI ISO performance of the D3s is worth the money. I could buy either a low 50k D3 or a low 70k shutter count D3s. Price difference is 350 Euros. I am shooting mostly in day light, but some of my pics I also do in the range 1600 - 3200 ISO. I heard the D3s supposed to have much better dynamic range. So which one would you recommend?

The Fuji X100 produced the best jpegs of any camera with which I had shot up until recently. I did not think another camera could match it. Then I purchased the D700 (partly based on your recommendation), and its jpegs not only equal the X100, they exceed it! And I get the benefit of much better RAW files. You are dead on about he richness of colors on the D700. They are amazing. As for weight, just watched the recent documentary about Salgado ("The Salt of the Earth") which includes scenes about his latest work, "Genesis," for which which lugged a Canon 1DS Mark III around the world.

The D700 is onto my most wanted FF DSLR List since it's release - but unfortunately, i couldn't afford it yet...ever since then...and then i've seen samples compared with the 5D - hands down, the way weak AA Filter onto the 5D does make landscape shots sharper compared to the D700, slightly...besides that, of course the D700 is the much better camera in every aspect, and 3 years "younger". ;-) I really don't need more than 10 to 12 MP, for sure. I don't do cropping, 95% none, way seldom. With the D700 it's the same like with the Queen Mum 5D: forget all the tech blablah about DxOMark & this stuff - both can take very nice photographs - and that is all that counts. Edit. Some people prefer the latest fuzz, and gear therefore...and some are just happy with what they've got...and/or enjoying to use older gear & lenses...i do. :-)

Really, the only time I use the focus tracking and continuous capabilities of my cam is a sports type scenario, so the D3 might be overkill for everything else I do. But, I find my D7000 can be very hit or miss when photographing runners coming across the finish line. The D3 would be worth it to me if it meant a more consistent hit rate.

Thinking to get Tokina 100mm f2.8 too next year. I have a question regarding D7100 so it might be out of topic (sorry :( ). I have been using D7100 for about a year now and for the last few months I have been getting err message a lot recently when changing the aperture for every lenses I have. Only maximum aperture works for example I can shoot with f2.8 with my 80-200mm no problem but when I changed it to f4 or other aperture it started to gave me err message. After 10-15 minutes it seems ok but then the same problem occurred. I have been asking around repair shop and they offered me half the price of my D7100 to fix it. So, do you have any idea what's wrong with it? I trust you since you have tremendous experience with cameras and lenses. Cheers, Ilham

For a zoom, if the 24-70/2.8 non-VR is out of your budget, consider the 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G AF-S ED VR. I picked up a used copy of the 24-85 for about $200 from Japan.

I am wondering if I am crazy for thinking of buying a D3 in 2022. I think it is worth $400 easy with less than 200k clicks, if the body is in good shape. Most of the D3's I see out there are beat to heck and still working.

I foolishly sold my first D700 last year. I missed it so much that I started looking for another one. Just found one with 46K clicks on it, with three batteries and a Nikon battery grip, and all the boxes and papers that came with it when new. The camera was just serviced and cleaned by Nikon USA within the year as well. Got it on a late night auction where the seller ended his sale in the wee hours of the morning while everyone was in bed except me apparently. Got it for $600. I'm a happy camper. I love my old D7000 and appreciate the capabilities of the D7200 I now use for work projects. But nothing for me matches the pure enjoyment of shooting with the D700 and all my older Nikkors being used at their "correct" fields of view.

Ken, I need your help!!! On Craigslist there is a D3 and a D700. The D3 has 82k shutter clicks for $1300. The D700 has (supposedly) 12k shutter clicks for $600. Which should I get? I decided to not get a D810 because of the price right now.

D700... £550-600 in the UK used and the shutter count is goes around 20-80k. Got one borderline mint condition with only 22k shutter count. Makes you wonder why you would even consider buying new unless your a rich of course. Once I print the images I cannot tell the difference with I use the same lens and post processing technique over my D750 which costs 3 times as much and has twice the features and mega pixels. I think the digital sensor has hit a wall... Its why they are focusing so much on video and looks and size now, because from a photographic perspective nothing much is different.

That's a SERIOUS bargain - I paid £570 for mine with 34k on it. (It was from a Nikon dealer with a warranty.) Once you've shot with it you are just happy to own it! I sold a previous D700 and had a Fuji X-T1 and 4 lenses for several months. The Fuji stuff was good (easier to use and much more portable), but there was just something about the D700 output I liked better - so I bought another D700 in October 2017 this time I'm not letting it go.

Cotictimmy I know what you mean, There’s something about the D700 photos :) I took a few photos of a model lately with a Zeiss lens and it just looks sharp and smooth at the same time? If that makes any sense :) pictures pop out with that combo plus I use other lenses. I get nice stuff out of the 50m F1.8G, I also have old manual Nikkor stuff, 28, 50, 135 :) D700 likes them all

I tried the Zeiss 85 f1.4 ZF-2 and I agree it was superb, but it was £750 used so I didn't get it. I agree the 50mm f1.8G is great.

D700 was my favorite dslr. Pro body + pro images in an affordable package. Nothing from nikon that came afterwards could beat it. D750 that came afterwards is a toy. Had to reach for fuji xt2 to find something even better.

ken as usual you have come up trumps just got the d700 £539 what a camera mint condition 19.000 shutter count my first fx and its brilliant thanks for your tips keep them comming my friend one happy chappie

I picked up a D3s in 2022 with only 10k shutter actuations on it. My D700 has around 400k.

Lately I am having a problem with my D700. The display vanishes and I have to shake the camera to get it back. When the display vanishes the flash does not work and the sync does not work. What can be the issue here?

I'm 12 but I really love heavy, metal bodies because I can take them out in the rain, and the weight helps with stabilisation

+Theoria Apophasis I do a lot of traveling and the dynamic range on my d700 seems to be getting pushed on landscapes. Also in night time street photography the iso gets too wild past 6400. After selling the D700 buying a used D750 would be easy with the budget I have.

Sold my d700 for d750 then sold my d750 to come back to the d700.. The d750 felt cheap and I couldn't take the buffer filling so quick

Got my D3 for 700,-€ with 396k shutter actuations. It has never seen an official Nikon service although it was registered. The original owner shot car races professionally with it and it looks as he took care for it. Wonderful camera. Now it has nearly 400k's on the shutter... I will NEVER sell it as I will never sell one of my three F2s with MD-2s and MF-3s.

I just got a Nikon D700 and it arrived today. The ad on Amazone was correct. It has 1204 shutter count. I believe that too, as it looks like a brand new camera. No scratches on the bottom or on the LCD etc. It looks like it came off the showroom floor yesterday. :) I paid 480$ US. I feel like I got a massive bargain! Now I need to buy some good glass off of your recommend list :) I have one lens from a Nikon N90 I got from my father when he passed. 35-105mm slide zoom AF the D model. Not bad to start but I want to get a couple primes. Thanks for all the quality information on this camera and lenses. Really helped out making my decision!

Ken, i don't know if you can buy rechargeable batteries from the german brand PATONA, i do use them for >5 years, and they're really great, for 1/3 of the original item price.

D700 is not 98% viewfinder. Raw images are the same. I do not use JPEG, however both can be made to match the other with picture control Both are SUPER well made cameras. I have two D3 and one D700 with 3000 pics each.

a piece of advice: between a Nikon D3 with 150.000 clicks and a Nikon D700 with 10.000 shoots, both with the same price, where would you go your money? Thanks in advance. Regards

lmao wrist strap on a D3. if you dropped it and your wrist caught it, it would snap your wrist :p

Hey Well the audio of this video is really not that great, but i think it's a problem with level, not the mic. :) P.S. Im waiting on my D700, got it for ~700$ with the grip, box and 3 batteries. Oh and an extra 35-70mm. Dont know if its any good or not. :)

With the dropping prices of the D 800’s, and the even lower prices for good lightly used D700’s, which way would you go? Wanting to make my first FX decision. Don’t care about video. Want to shoot landscapes, outdoors.

Do you think $1000 is a fair price for a D700 with 1500 shutter actuations?
