I used both the Nikon D700 and D3. While the D3 is a magical piece of engineering,the D700 consistently delivered better pictures. I set both cameras on continues shot modes, and fired some 50 pictures continuously moving the camera from; sky & clouds to people walking on the street ending photographing in room objects iluminated by neon lights.
The Nikon D700 was the clear winner, getting all photos correctly exposed in perfect focus. In the case of the D3 all photos had perfect focus but some 20% of the photos were badly exposed. The fact that the D3 is much faster is no excuse for the bad exposure, since the camera should be able to deliver good photos within it’s specs.
It’s not a question of price, even if I was offered to chose for free any of these cameras, I would still go for the D700.
i.e I used the Nikor 105mm 2.8 with the stabilizer on.

I have used most of Nikon cameras film and digital. My choice of the best Nikon manual film camera will be Nikon F2, AF film camera the Nikon F4 and finally the best Nikon digital will be the Nikon D700.
It’s the most complete so far despite the D3 looking better the D700 has everything you need for photographer. With 12mp full frame it’s enough to capture differet photography subjects.
I love the built in flash, though not put on the so-called ‘pro’ bodies is udeful for fill in flash at day ligh etc.
The only thing that is missing which is not very important the dual slot CF card as back up, but surely that not that always needed.
I am afraid that Nikon as usually will bring better camera which makes me ‘nervous’ that I might have to get rid of D700 but it seems not so will be there as back up or ‘history’ if so, but that’s long to come probably, and for a while lets enjoy this.

NOW IT’S CONFIRMED. Ritz and Calumet are both taking orders and have stock numbers for the D-700. Great comprimise for the full frame sensor and fantastic backup for the D-3. D-300 will still sell at 1/2 the price and d-3 will sell with higher megapixel and faster motor but what a great camera the D-700 will be. If I didn’t like Canon so much this one would get me to swtich.

this might cause Canon to come out with a 6D but even if not the canon lens line might eek out nikon in price/performance comparison. Nikons 24-120mm doesn’t compare to Canon’s 24-105mm L USM lens, but it’s close.

Isn’t that the 17-55 DX in the first pic after the specs? Why would Nikon put a DX lens on promo material for a FX camera?

D3 Price Drops–B&H and Amazon have dropped the D3 to 4819 from 4995. Not sure what that means but it does add fuel to the fire.

Being one who just two days ago bought my D300 I am not real thrilled with the thought that I could have waited a week and gotten the next in line, but if it is “announced” on Monday, it could be out first of the year or something.

I still want to see what the next 70-200mm f2.8 VR is going to be since you have not be able to actually buy one anywhere. And, what happened to the D400, D500, etc. etc.
