The Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only) brings professional imaging with a full-frame image sensor to a lightweight yet durable camera body. It features the exclusive 12.1 Megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor, measuring 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of a 35mm film frame - thereby eliminating any significant crop factor or focal length multiplier. Images taken with the D700 exhibit exceptional overall quality, broad tonal range and depth, along with extremely low-noise throughout its expansive ISO range of 200 to 6400. Nikon's exclusive EXPEED Image Processing System is central to driving the speed and processing power needed for many of the camera's features such as the 51-point auto focus system and speedy 5 fps frame advance. The camera incorporates many of the features that have made point-and-shoot digital cameras so popular - such as Live View, Auto ISO, and in-camera image enhancement.
The D700 has been designed with refined ergonomics and usability and a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing layout, so photographers can take pictures with greater accuracy and comfort and with less concern about fatigue. The camera's bright viewfinder provides virtually 100 percent coverage for accurate framing, while an ultra-high-definition 920,000-dot VGA LCD screen on the rear of the camera displays images with vivid color and clarity. The 170-degree-wide viewing angle makes composing shots using the LCD screen in Live View mode easy, and the camera also features a unique Virtual Horizon digital level sensor that indicates the camera's alignment relative to the true horizon on the rear LCD screen or in the viewfinder.
The cameras impressive durability means that it can be used under the most demanding conditions. The exterior of the D700 is crafted of magnesium alloy and the camera's shutter mechanism is tested to 150,000 release cycles. Furthermore, the comprehensive array of rubber gaskets and seals protect vulnerable entry points from dust and moisture. If for some reason dust were to make its way into the camera (most probably when changing lenses), the Image Sensor Cleaning function employs piezoelectric elements to generate vibrations at four specific frequencies to optimize dust removal.
- Sensor CMOS Formato FX com 12.1 Megapixels de Resolução
- O sensor CMOS formato FX de 12.87 Megapixels original da Nikon (23,9 x 36mm) é quase idêntico ao tamanho de um quadro de filme de 35mm e oferece uma alta relação sinal-ruído, ampla faixa dinâmica e leitura de 12 canais para fornecer uma incrível qualidade de imagem com uma resolução efetiva de 12.1 milhões de pixels, reduzindo também o ruído consideravelmente, mesmo em alta sensibilidade ISO.
- Durável e Dependente
- O corpo da D700 é feito em uma liga de magnésio leve e durável e foi projetado para um alto nível de resistência a água e poeira. O obturador da câmera foi testado para 150.000 ciclos de liberação, continuando a longa tradição da Nikon de resistência e durabilidade.
- Sensor Autolimpante
- A D700 incorpora uma unidade de sensor de imagem autolimpante que vibra em altas frequências e usa quatro frequências de ressonância diferentes para remover qualquer poeira solta na superfície do filtro ótico passa-baixa do sensor. A Limpeza do Sensor de Imagem pode ser configurada para ativação automática quando a câmera é ligada e desligada, ou pode ser ativada sempre que o fotógrafo considerar necessário.
- Imagens e Performance Aprimoradas com EXPEED
- O sistema de processamento de imagem EXPEED é responsável pela capacidade da D700 de capturar e processar dados de imagem de alta definição rapidamente. Possui uma conversão de analógico para digital (A/D) de 14 bits com processamento de imagem de 16 bits, e ambos contribuem para fornecer resultados com a ?aparência e textura? característica da Nikon de cores ricas e precisas, gradações de pele suaves e detalhes excepcionais.
- Performance Rápida
- A D700 pode suportar disparo contínuo a até 5 quadros por segundo (até 8 quadros por segundo com o Pack de Bateria Multi-power MB-D10 opcional), tornando-a poderosa para uma ampla gama de situações de disparo, particularmente para esportes de ação, vida selvagem ou captação de notícia. Ela também oferece rápida inicialização (0,12 segundo), rápida capacidade de resposta (40 milissegundos de atraso de obturador), impressionante flexibilidade de obturador e temporizador para atender às necessidades de uma ampla gama de trabalhos fotográficos.
- Ampla Faixa de Sensibilidade ISO
- A câmera possui uma ampla faixa de ISO de ajustes de sensibilidade 200-6400 e Lo-1 (equivalente a ISO 100), Hi-1 (equivalente a ISO 12800) e Hi-2 (equivalente a 25600). Também possui um conveniente ajuste Auto ISO que ajusta automaticamente o ISO da câmera ao gravar sob condições de iluminação que se alteram constantemente.
- Autofoco Rápido e Preciso de 51 Pontos
- A D700 incorpora o módulo de foco automático Multi-CAM 3500FX da Nikon que possui um conjunto inteligente de 15 sensores do tipo cruzado que mantêm o assunto em foco, mesmo com um movimento de assunto rápido e/ou errático em uma ampla extensão do quadro, e o sensor AF altamente sensível detecta seu assunto em EV de apenas -1.
- Modos de Área AF Versáteis
- Os três modos de área AF fornecem controle de foco apropriado para qualquer situação de gravação. O AF de ponto único garante que o elemento mais importante na sua composição estará com um foco nítido. Com AF de área dinâmica, você pode escolher entre várias opções de focagem utilizando 9, 21 ou 51 pontos conforme a natureza do seu assunto, e o uso da opção de 51 pontos permite Rastreamento 3D, que usa a informação de cor de imagem para seguir automaticamente assuntos em movimento por meio de pontos AF. AF de área automática também usa informações de cor junto com algoritmos especiais de reconhecimento de rosto para focalizar automaticamente o rosto de um indivíduo, o que é extremamente útil em situações onde simplesmente não há tempo para selecionar um ponto de foco ou ao usar Live View no modo Hand-held em ângulos elevados ou baixos.
- Exclusivo Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena (SRS)
- O Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena da Nikon usa o aclamado sensor de cor RGB Nikon de 1005 pixels, modificado para reconhecer a forma e a posição dos assuntos antes que a imagem seja capturada. Isso também ajuda o sistema de Autofoco, melhorando a precisão da exposição automática, do controle i-TTL e da medição do balanço de branco.
- Sistema D-Lighting Ativo
- O modo D-Lighting Ativo fornece uma excelente correção de sombra e altas luzes em tempo real com contraste otimizado de imagem, produzindo uma reprodução de tons mais ampla nas sombras e nas altas luzes e aplicando tecnologia de controle de tom localizada para obter um nível mais agradável de contraste por toda a imagem. E , como o Active D-Lighting é aplicado enquanto as imagens são capturadas, o tempo de edição de imagem pode ser reduzido.
- Flash Integrado e Controle de Flash i-TTL
- O flash integrado da D700 possui cobertura de lente de 24mm e trabalha como um controle sem fio para até dois grupos de Speedlights Nikon remotos usando o Sistema de Iluminação sem Fio Avançado da Nikon. A câmera também é compatível com o Sistema Creative Lighting da Nikon, que suporta controle de flash i-TTL e o Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena, que fornece uma avaliação de medição de flash mais refinada, para reduzir a superexposição e outras imprecisões de exposição mesmo com assuntos menores ou cenas que contenham objetos altamente refletores.
- Balanço de Branco Automático Preciso
- O Balanço de Branco Automático da Câmera funciona junto com o Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena da Nikon para calcular as características da cena, fazendo referência cruzada com 5.000 exemplos de dados de imagens reais entre as mais de 20.000 imagens armazenadas no banco de dados AWB da D700. Isso permite gravar com confiança, mesmo em condições difíceis, permitindo que o branco permaneça branco e o amarelo apareça como amarelo do modo como você vê.
- Redução de Aberração Cromática Lateral
- Para vencer o efeito de aberração cromática produzido até mesmo pelos dispositivos óticos de melhor qualidade, a D700 incorpora a função de redução de aberração cromática lateral exclusiva da Nikon, que compensa as diferenças no índice de resolução para cada cor. E, como essa aberração é corrigida independentemente do tipo de lente, esse recurso fornece imagens mais nítidas, seja qual for a lente utilizada.
- Ajustes de Controle de Imagem
- O Sistema de Controle de Imagem da Nikon facilita para todos os usuários de todos os níveis de experiência a seleção e aplicação de ajustes de como suas fotos são renderizadas e a criação de ajustes otimizados para a adequação às suas preferências individuais. O Sistema de Controle de Imagem oferece quatro opções de ajuste básicas - Padrão, Neutro, Vívido e Monocromático, que podem ser diretamente personalizadas com parâmetros de imagem como nitidez, compensação de tom, brilho e saturação. Além disso, os usuários podem armazenar até nove opções personalizadas ou exportar até 99 para um cartão de memória CF, permitindo que os fotógrafos compartilhem configurações entre múltiplas câmeras.
- 3.0" Color LCD Display
- The 3.0" super density 921,000-dot VGA color monitor provides a crisp clear view of your images with 170-degree wide-angle viewing and tempered-glass protection, making critical image review possible. The camera also includes an information display on the rear LCD screen that can change color according to the ambient lighting conditions, and an easy-to-view top LCD panel.
- Recurso Live View
- A D700 inclui o sistema Live View, que apresenta aos fotógrafos uma imagem ao vivo na tela LCD, com dois modos adequados para o uso do equipamento na mão ou com tripé. O sistema Live View é particularmente útil ao fotografar em um estúdio, utilizando fotografia remota ou ao fotografar de ângulos complicados.
- Modos Live View com Tripé e com as Mãos
- O Modo de Tripé é ideal para aplicações fotográficas que exigem foco e composição precisos, como fotos de natureza morta, arquitetura e fotografia macro. Neste modo, o sistema AF com detecção de contraste fornece uma focagem excepcionalmente precisa de qualquer ponto no quadro inteiro (uma área mais ampla do que a área de ponto 51-AF), portanto você pode reorganizar facilmente seu assunto confirmando simultaneamente sua composição, ou confirmar seu foco ampliando a imagem de ponto de foco até 13 vezes. Para composições de ângulo baixo e elevado em que você não pode olhar pelo visor, o Modo Handheld pode ser muito útil; selecione seu ponto de foco ou use o AF de área automática e depois use o LCD Live View com seu ângulo de visão de 170 graus para compor sua foto.
- Horizonte Virtual Eletrônico
- O inovador Horizonte Virtual fornece confirmação instantânea e precisa da posição da D700 em relação ao nível horizontal. Ao usar o Live View, você pode escolher exibir o horizonte virtual no LCD, um recurso ideal para fotografia de paisagem e arquitetura. Você também pode nivelar a D700 enquanto olha pelo visor usando a conveniente escala analógica.
- Controles Confortáveis
- Os controles da D700 foram projetados para facilidade de uso com acesso fácil, através de botões, para funções muitas vezes requeridas durante a gravação, eliminando a necessidade de buscas de menu demoradas. Os controles também são compatíveis com as outras D-SLRs profissionais da Nikon para facilitar substancialmente o uso de múltiplas plataformas de câmera. Além disso, o intuitivo sistema de menu permite acesso rápido a muitos dos controles e ajustes finos disponíveis na câmera.
- Rede sem Fio
- O Transmissor Sem Fio WT-4 opcional da Nikon oferece não apenas a capacidade de transmitir ("push") imagens para servidores e controlar remotamente a câmera, como também permite navegação remota pelas miniaturas de imagem da câmera. Além disso, os usuários podem configurar uma rede de até cinco D700 assim as miniaturas de todas as câmeras conectadas podem ser vistas simultaneamente a partir de um servidor remoto e arquivos de imagem relevantes podem ser transferidos ("pulled"), enquanto os fotógrafos continuam a fotografar.
- Bateria de Longa Duração e Opções de Alimentação
- Usando a EN-EL3e incluída, a D700 permite gravar até 1.000 quadros por carga (padrão CIPA) graças ao gerenciamento de alimentação inteligente. E, acrescentando o Pack de Bateria Multi-Power opcional MB-D10, você pode escolher entre usar Baterias de Íons de Lítio recarregáveis (EN-EL4a/4/3e) ou oito baterias AA e capturar até 2.900 quadros (com EN-EL4a). O Pack de Bateria Multi-Power MB-D10 também vem equipado com um botão de liberação de obturador, botão AF-ON, multisseletor e dials de comando principal e subcomando para uma operação de câmera mais confortável em uma orientação vertical. Além disso, todas essas opções de alimentação permitem monitorar o nível da bateria e de fotos restantes com aquela carga.
- Um Sistema Completo de Processamento de Imagem
- A D700 não é só uma câmera, mas parte de um sistema completo da Nikon para ajudar fotógrafos na criação de excelentes imagens. A D700 é compatível com o Sistema Nikon Total Imaging das lentes NIKKOR, Speedlights, acessórios e software que fornece uma solução completa para qualquer desafio fotográfico.

Before I purchased the D700, I owned (and still own) the D90 - a great camera, and I was very happy with it. The image quality was great, and it had a solid, quality build to it. There was one thing that I was missing - compatibility with manual focus Nikkors beyond just mount compatibility, i.e. metering. Moreover, I missed the i-TTL flash option (I had to use my SB-900 in SU-4 wireless mode) with these lenses. And then the D7000 was announced. (I am referring to the newer D7000, not the D700 which is the subject of this review.) If the new 16 MP sensor didn't get my attention, the metering options with MF lenses definitely did, and it became a strong contender on my wish list. I spoke with my wife about the D7000, and she looked at me straight in the eye and replied, "You have always missed full-frame, and if you get the D7k, you always will." She was right. Although I liked my D90 a lot, I also missed the full-frame capability of my old film cameras, and missed the one stop of depth-of-field advantage offered by FX over DX. Thus, I closed my eyes and took the plunge - I ordered the D700 over the D7000. I rushed on the purchase as the tsunami had just occurred in Japan, and I wanted to get the camera before the then current stock ran out (the Sendai plant where the D700 is made was affected). And what can I say? I will always thank my wife for this.
When the D700 arrived, I put on my favorite lenses, and OMG! It felt so good to be back to full frame again. I will share that when I owned the D90 (and the D50 before it), I used to mount my Nikkors on my vintage Nikon N6006 film camera and play around with the focusing just to relish the joy of that full-frame finder. Now, that joy is back in spades. No more tunnel vision from the DX camera (although I must say that for what it is, the D90 viewfinder is superb). And as for the image quality, well, I don't think there is anything I can add that has not been said. Superb low ISO quality. The dynamic range is better than my D90, and I find that I can pull back some lost highlight details even in overexposed areas. Phenomenal! The tonality of the images from the D700 is nothing short of excellent. And then there is the high ISO quality. The very same day I got the camera, I bumped up the ISO to 1600 and shot a photo. While I do consider myself to be mild-mannered, I could not help but pour out a torrent of expletives. The quality of the images at high ISO, specifically the noise (or the sheer lack of it), is nothing short of mind boggling. Light years ahead of my D90.
The one-stop depth-of-field advantage offered by FX over DX is very striking. As a matter of fact, I had to train my eyes to accept the extremely low depth of field possibilities with the D700 after years of being weaned off of film cameras. Lenses with good bokeh absolutely shine on this camera, and macro shots and portraits have a three-dimensional look that pops out of the screen or print. Of course, there is no free lunch, and there are the demons of vignetting and corner image quality that can surface (which were conveniently cropped off by the DX sensor).
Matrix and other modes of metering as well as i-TTL flash control are back with my MF Nikkors YAY! I prefer having the built-in flash on the pro-camera body than not (a la the D3s). Focusing ease and accuracy are also much better with the FX finder. Additional advantages of the D700 over the D7000 in terms of image quality include the ability to save 14-bit uncompressed NEFs and TIFFs (if I am not mistaken, the D7000 only offers the option of saving compressed 14-bit NEFs). Do I have buyer's remorse of not going for the 16 MP sensor? Not an iota! At this point, I find that 12 MP is sufficient for me - image quality is of primary importance. Remember that for a 12 MP FX camera, lenses get diffraction-limited at around f/13 or so. For a 12 MP DX camera, this limit is f/11 due to the the larger pixel density. Going up in MP will only place additional limits on this value (for the D7k, I would imagine it would be around f/9 or so). 12 MP at this stage of the game is the best compromise between number of pixels and diffraction loss IMHO. The AF on the D700 is killer, and is the current state-of-the-art.
If I was impressed by the build quality of the D90, I am floored by that of the D700. The body is very solidly constructed, and the interface allows for a much more seamless shooting experience - the camera feels like an extension of my hands, with all controls falling naturally at my fingertips. Of course, the round viewfinder eyepiece (standard on most Nikon pro cameras except the D300 - the amateur cameras have the square eyepiece) looks pretty cool in itself.
So what does this all boil down to? I now have two wonderful 12 MP cameras. If I need higher pixel density or need additional telephoto boost, I will pull out my D90. Ditto for casual shots or short family outings (we shoot at base ISO for most part). My wife also prefers the D90 for her use since it is lighter. But when I need to do some serious photography, macro work, portraiture or when the light is low, I will call upon the current king of the hill in my camera bag - the D700. Thank you, wifey, for helping me make my decision. You are simply the best!

I am a professional photographer who shoots a lot of editorial jobs and weddings. This is my third D700. My first D700 I bought two years ago is falling apart. It has 124,000 shutter actuations, the rubber is off of most of the camera and it has gaffers tape all over it. The hot shoe is loose and the shutter sounds like it is going to quit at any time. My biggest complaint with Nikon cameras is the quality of mechanics. The images are amazing, but the bodies fall apart pretty quickly. I just replaced the mirror and hot shoe in my second D700 and it only has 24,000 shutter actuations. The rubber is peeling off and it is only a little over a year old. So overall I would give this camera a 7 out of 10 rating. Images are amazing, but the camera will not last long.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
As a hobbyist migrating from a D40x to the D90, I decided to take the plunge and step up my game. All I can say is, the D700 is awesome in so many areas to include high ISO performance, image quality, working with my AF-S glass, and general feel in my hands. For those contemplating the move to FF, just save and do it.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I have been using the D200 for many years and am very pleased with the results I have received from the D700. I shoot mostly family portraits and could not be happier. The full frame sensor makes a huge difference when shooting portraits for me. I feel that I am getting the full use out of my lenses now. I am also impressed with the subtle contrast differences that i see compared to the D200, I process with LightRoom and get stunning black and whites. I also see more saturation with this body, the colors seem much more rich. I am a professional photographer, but this body paired with a good lens will make anybody's pictures better. For the pro, the features and flexibility make this camera an excellent choice for the money.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I purchased this body as my first digital camera mainly to record reference photos from which I create artwork, and also to make digital records of my paintings. I wanted a full frame sensor that was sensitive to enough to accurately record the color nuances in my paintings. I've been able to experiment with the white balance settings to get it fairly accurate, and in Photoshop, I can make changes to get very close. No camera is perfect in recording exact colors, but this one does a very good job. Also great in low light to get those end of the day wildlife photos. I bought the best and fastest Nikon lenses with this camera and love it.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I had been shooting with the D50 for about five years when I decided that I had learned all I could from it and it was time to upgrade. When I was researching the body I wanted to buy, I found it ultimately came down one simple question: FX or DX, which could be restated as "D700 or D7000?" I adored the performance of FX, but not the weight and cost. Long story short, I went with the mantra "buy once, cry once," shelled out the money for what I really wanted, bought my D700, and I couldn't be happier with it. This camera has an excellent sensor that performs well under a very wide variety of light conditions. It is heavy, but that's because it was built to be durable. It has every feature I could desire and many more that I am still learning about. It has performed superbly under a huge variety of conditions, from quiet newborn portraiture to sports photography to week-long backpacking landscape-photography adventures. In nearly every instance that it turns out a sub-par photo (in the technical sense, since no camera, no matter how good, is a substitute for good and thoughtful composition, subject, and lighting), the fault is mine alone, not the camera's.
I unreservedly highly recommend this camera body. It's one that I will be using and learning from for years to come.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
There have been a thousand reviews of this great camera but it's easy to lose the whole point of buying this camera versus buying some other camera. So, if you remember this as you read the other thousand reviews, then you'll be far, far ahead...and happier.
Point 1: 12Megapixels on a "full frame" amount of area. This is the sweet spot. If you're in the market for a camera like this, then you're already in data overload. This feature and that feature...or these features that I never knew existed. How can I understand all this info. Well, it is simply the number of pixels per square unit of sensor. Why is this the sweet spot? Because as you INCREASE the megapixels, for example, increasing to 15M or even 24 M. What happens? You get a smaller pixel size! If this camera has 12 Megapixels per the full frame and you compare this to a 24 Megapixel full frame, then what happens? The size of the 24Megapixel must be half the size! Huh? Yes, each pixel in the 24M must be half the size of the D700's 12M. So what? I love 24M you say. Well, if your pixel is half the size then that's less sensor area to collect the light. So, what's the difference? There are many cameras which work perfectly well with half the pixel size...why should I care? YOU SHOULD CARE because THE D700 takes incredible photos that just vacuum in the photons onto the sensor. When? At night. In shadows. In highlights. In the gradation of black to white in a photo. This camera's sensor is PERFECTION OF THE SWEET SPOT. The quality of the picture is what you are after, any digital camera can take the image but you want that incredible quality that just makes the viewer go "oh wow."
Point 2: Associated with point 1 above is this quality: "the ability to show different gradations of light in the shadows." This means that the shadows are not just one shade of grey but rather a sensitive, beautiful variation of colors IN THE SHADOWS! This is what makes this camera so much better than other cameras which have nearly double the Megapixels. More Megapixels are better. Wrong!
Point 3: This is not an easy camera to control if you aren't used to a thousand different settings. I feel like I have to rethink the entire owner's manual whenever I pick up my D700. If you did some experimenting on your last use, then you'll need to either do a reset or try to recall why your photos look strange. For example, you set it to VIVID, but then forget that that's how it's setup. I am not saying that this is any different than any other high end camera, what I am saying is that most buyers of a D700 are coming up from a smaller sensor camera rather than moving down from the big boy cameras. This is not a point 'n shoot, you knew this but I'll guarantee you that after you buy this camera, you'll remember this review which said, "gosh, golly, this is so complicated."
Well, thanks for spending a few minutes to read this review. I know that you're going through tons of information in trying to make "the correct choice." When you eliminate all of the garbage data, I think that you'll agree with me that what defines this camera is its uncanny ability to take photos in low light conditions or night and its uncanny ability to discern shadow detail. Simple as these two features. I agree that its hard to believe that you'd buy a great camera because it takes great pictures in the dark or in the shadows...but you'll love the D700. It is the best camera you can buy at any price (as long as you aren't making huge monster 30" x 50" posters...but who does that?) Have a great time with your new D700!!!

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought this for my husband. We have had a tough couple of years through no fault of our own. But by his planning and forethought and our honesty we have come through.
He will be using this for our Great Pyrenees that we show and our 12 acres that are full of fun things to photograph. I may use some of the pictures for digitizing for quilting and embroidery.
The screen is larger and he is able to read it easier, the speed and lighting are amazing and some pictures we have taken in the past don't compare with what this one does.
It's a plus that his previous Nikon's lenses fit this one.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I purchased this camera for its ability to produce quality images at high ISO values after wishing for a little more from my 300S while doing jungle photography on the island of Borneo. Initial testing has shown that I got exactly what I needed. The camera is very well built aznd not noticably heavier than the 300S. Given that the setup and menus are the same I had no problem adapting to it. I'm also going to love the FX format.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I am a weekend professional who does editorial, some portrait and wedding work. I am still blown away by the beautiful images this camera produces. Pair it with Zeiss optics or the 70-200 VR2 for best results. If it had HD 1080 60P video and XLR inputs, it would be perfect. I can dream...

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
my very first Full frame dslr and what I can say? really worth it. d700 has faster and bigger FF processor and for me is really an advantage. as i compare my shots taken with my D90 i can say that isolating my subjects from the background is really awesome! will try to test and compare also how d700 usage over TTL speedlights. I love the fact that AF button is there helping me to shot over insects or any macro life that so actively moving.

Comments about Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought this camera body for the larger FX format sensor to get full image capabilities from my older Nikkor manual focus lenses and it doesn't disappoint. Have to love Nikon for keeping their compatibility with older manual lenses, many no longer manufactured but still high performance glass. The images are impressive with the auto-focus Nikon 85mm 1.4 and 24-70mm 2.8 lenses recently acquired too. The spot on auto-focus system is a large plus as I get older and the manual lenses require more focusing care. I still love my D7000 camera for it's 1080 video capability so no video on this body doesn't affect me. The controls are well laid out and the RAW image quality is awesome. I was surprised by the heft at first but the solid build quality qualifies the weight.
