D700 is slipping off the current system.
Some countries cannot order D700, salespeople at camera shops in USA who get better price find it on back order past 3 months.
What's their unfullfilled good guy price ??? "$1999"
I find D700 better built than Canon 5D.
I can't imagine anyone picking one up and not being impressed with D700.
Well unless you got a pair of tiny hands & miniture thumbs, then the new Pentax K-x is most likely a perfect fit.
New D700 prices:
1/2 of original retail is $1,500
1/2 of what I paid for mine is $1,159.50
1/2 of B&H is $1,195.
If your talking $1,000 or so for a proper working D700 you'd be foolish to pass on it. But maybe thats where the used full frame marketplace is ?
I've never done a used D700 ad search.
But as always when D700 successor launches people will sell D700 to get next great thing, and so it goes...
Me? I won't ever sell my D700, its easily the best built camera I've ever bought.
Originally posted by luke0622 I am thinking about getting a Nikon D700 as my back up, I've got the chance to play with it a little bit, definitely like it a lot, but didn't have the chance to attach the battery grip.
what do yall think? shall I get it?
