Nikon D700

A couple weeks ago I mentioned a rumor that Nikon would be releasing a new full frame DSLR. That rumor is now true. Nikon announced the release of the D700 ($2,999) today — the company’s newest pro-level digital SLR camera.

Falling between the Nikon D3 and D300, the D700 features a 12.1-effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor and a native ISO range of 200 to 6400. The camera also features a 3-inch super-density 920,000-dot VGA color screen, Nikon’s EXPEED Image Processing System, Nikon’s 51-point auto focus system, two Live View shooting modes, a Scene Recognition System, and a new active dust reduction system.

Full frame without the D3 weight. What more could you ask for?
