Key Advantages

The Nikon D700 is praised for its full-frame sensor, providing superior image quality and depth of field control compared to crop-sensor cameras. Its durable and weather-sealed body makes it ideal for professional outdoor and studio use. The advanced 51-point autofocus system ensures fast and accurate focusing even in difficult conditions. Its wide ISO range offers excellent low-light performance with minimal noise. Dual card slots provide flexibility and safety for image storage. The camera's compatibility with a vast range of NIKKOR lenses grants photographers extensive creative control and versatility.

Limitations

The D700's 12.1 megapixel resolution, while excellent at release, is lower compared to modern full-frame cameras, which may affect print size and cropping flexibility. It lacks some of the latest video features such as 4K recording and modern autofocus advancements in live view and video mode. The camera does not include built-in Wi-Fi or GPS, limiting remote control and geotagging capabilities. Its weight and size are relatively large compared to newer mirrorless models, affecting portability. Battery life, while solid, does not match newer battery technologies. The rear LCD is fixed and non-touch, which may affect ease of use compared to contemporary designs.
