I am having fun tinkering! Here is my camera.
Already feeling limited by the D300? I know for a fact the D300 is a beast, in most aspect it is the same as the D700. Both will produce similar image quality.

And, you just went full frame, should have opt for the D90, it has video!

Nice camera though.

Not feeling limited at all. My friend wants to buy my d300 to replace his d80. So why not get something new? He gets my camera, I get a new toy lol. Full frame is the main reason for the upgrade.
The video mode is cool if you are the soccer mom type. {D j/k

Hmm I should have thought about the D90 thought, I could have gotten almost 5 of them for the cost of this D700.

Not sure how your figure almost 5? I don't know how much you paid, but the D90 will be $1000 (body only), and you can get the D700 for $2759 (amazon, adorama).


Are you also selling your DX format lenses? It seems you'd get much better results using DX lenses on the D300 than on the D700.


I haven't felt the need to step up from my ole D40 yet, but I played with a D90 in the store the other day and will probably get one in a few months. Not that I need it, but it's cool.

Have fun with the new camera ;)

Ed lenses used over here. I do more then T shots. The T shots are just for fun.
At 100% crop there is 0 loss of resolution and crispness. Shooting up to 6400 iso with impunity is awesome as well.

And at 4.5 fps on the D90 that is not enough for me when it comes to my other photography subjects.

11 point af on the D90 to the 51 point af on the 700. 700 is weather sealed as well and the 90 is not.

The list goes on and and on.
Plus I don't buy cameras or lenses online. Maybe from B@H but that is it. `
And I was being sarcastic about the d700 being 5 of the d90. :)
(although they are the d90 selling body only at the shop near me for $650.)

Oh I did not mean to compare the 2... that wasn't my intention at least. Apples and oranges.

That seems kinda silly? Unless it was a used display model or something? If it's brand new, please ship it to me :)

No biggie, but I don't know what ED (Extra-Low Dispersion Glass) has to do with using DX lenses on an FX camera.

I myself thought a lot when I began spending significant cash on DX lenses.... if as technology progressed I would one day end up using a full frame camera.

Great photos as usual... have fun with the new camera. The full frame seems nice but I like cheating a bit by extending my lenses with the smaller sensor. I cant afford those long, fast lenses... :) But I guess that doesnt really matter too much shooting macro...

WOW... that P. murinus pic is just awesome! And the A. versi is amazing also. A lot of times i cant tell the difference between photos taken with cameras, but you can definately see the difference in this case. Whats the video quality like on it? Just curious.

Anyways, glad you like your new camera, and looking forward to seeing more pics with it!

Trade you a kidney for the D90? I would throw the liver or lungs up but i dont figure they are worth a whole lot... :D (j/k)

Nate you're a dork. I did not get the D90. And this camera (D700) does not have video.
I keep video and picture separate. Next mission some time next year is to get a high speed macro video camera. (dreaming I know) but I can dream!

Perfect timing! My P. miranda female just molted today, and I just had a male mature a week ago. :) She is a good 5.5-6" now. And I had an irminia female molting when I got home!
