A D3 in D300 clothing. a great camera but not a great value
Pros: Great image quality. High speed, low noise. No focal-length factors. Weatherproof. Smaller than D3. Cons: Price. You could buy 2 D300s for one D700. DX lenses crop to 5.1 megapixel BottomLine: D3 owners: this is your second body. Film holdouts: this camera is an excellent upgrade. DX sensor camera owners: A high price to pay for great image quality.
Pros: Build, IQ, speed, ISO range, low cost for this level, viewfinder, everything Cons: AF system will befuddle some users. CF door feels a bit weak. BottomLine: A great DSLR, probably the best on the market, designed 100% for professional applications.
