Nikon D700—A fusion of astonishing image quality and agility. Leveraging the breakthrough performance of Nikon’s original 12.1-megapixel FX-format (23.9x36mm) CMOS sensor, teamed with exclusive Nikon EXPEED image processing technology, the D700 delivers astounding image fidelity with incredible sharpness, rich color depth and broad tonal range. Shooting limitations fade with the welcome picture angle characteristics of a 35mm SLR, combined with amazing low-noise performance at up to ISO 6400 and continuous shooting as fast as 5 frames per second (8 fps with optional MB-D10 Multi-Power Battery Pack). Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System boosts several segments of the D700’s performance, including its fast, accurate 51-area autofocus system, Nikon's renowned 1,005-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering II, and white balance detection. The D700’s tempered glass-protected, 3-inch, 920,000-dot VGA TFT LCD monitor features bright, 170-degree wide-angle viewing for precise image review. And with a rugged self-diagnostic shutter, tested to 150,000 cycles, the versatility of two Live View modes and integrated dust reduction, it’s easy to see why the D700 is described as power that empowers.
