First images with my new D700

Jack'll do

Love the ergonomics and other features of this camera as compared to my D80. These were taken with a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR G-AS at f/16 1/400 iso 1000 @80mm
I still haven't figured out all the bells and whistles on it but I thought these came out pretty nice considering that it was a dreary overcast cold day.

As always C&C much apprectiated.



100% crop from the original.

Hi Jack,

Looks like we'll be learning the D700 at the same time. I'm just starting to play with mine too. I've loved the D80 but I look forward to the expanded abilities the new camera will afford me. I was late coming into the digital world and I am anxious to get back to the full frame system, mainly to the familiar performance of all the great lenses I had for my F4 and F5. Good luck with you new purchase.

Very nice. I like the shot but I think maybe a tighter crop or maybe a lower angle. I was I could afford a D700 but the D60 will be fine for me right now. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for commenting. Not sure why a tighter crop would be better. I wanted to balance the tree on each side with the smaller trees that still had their leaves.

Congrats on the new camera. Looks like your getting the feel for it.

I tried out my cousins for about 1/2 hour a month ago. Being a canon shooter I didn't have time to figure out all the buttons but it seemed like a real nice camera.

Thanks Schnauzer. It's quite different from my D80 but but I am getting used to it.

I don't have a D700, I use an E-3, but the D700's lcd is simply amazing, as well as its low light ability. Good luck to you both with the D700's.

Congrats on the new camera! It's my next dream. Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun.
