The Nikon D700 Is Official
After much anticipation, Nikon has finally announced their new DSLR, the D700. This 12.1 megapixel beast of a camera implements the same FX format CMOS found in Nikon’s flagship D3. The new FX format, opposed to the DX format found in earlier Nikon product, captures images on an image sensor the same size as 35mm film.
The new camera, clearly aimed at professional photographers, implements an array of features not found in earlier models. These include suport for UDMA CompactFlash, a 3-inch display, 51 point autofocus (with 3D tracking), and four-speed active dust reduction. It will also shoot up to 8 fps at full resolution and a mind boggling iso 6400. And to top it off, a highly convenient HDMI out.
Of course, all this wont come cheap. Expect it in July for $3,000 for the body along with at least $1000 for a suitable lense.
