Key Advantages

The Nikon D700 provides outstanding image quality with its full-frame sensor, making it suitable for professional photography. Its advanced autofocus system with 51 points ensures sharp and accurate focusing. The robust build quality offers excellent durability and weather sealing for challenging environments. The camera's high ISO range facilitates excellent performance in low-light conditions. Fast continuous shooting speeds are beneficial for action and sports photography. Compatibility with a broad range of lenses adds to its adaptability and creative potential.

Limitations

The Nikon D700 has a modest resolution of 12.1 megapixels compared to modern cameras, limiting large prints or extensive cropping. It lacks video recording capabilities, which are common in newer DSLR and mirrorless models. The camera's live view functionality is relatively basic and slower than contemporary designs. Its weight and bulkiness might be a drawback for photographers seeking lightweight equipment. Battery life, while sufficient, is eclipsed by more recent models offering extended shooting capacity. Additionally, the older USB 2.0 interface is slower compared to current connectivity standards.
