| Expert reviews of the D700, including those at [http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/NikonD700/ Digital Photography Review], [http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D700/D700A.HTM Imaging Resource], and [http://www.photocrati.com/nikon-d700-review-field-test-report/ Photocrati Photography Blog] have been highly favorable. As with the more expensive D3, reviewers have found that the D700's full frame sensor offers outstanding image quality even in challenging low-light or high contrast situations, all in a ligher, smaller, and notably less expensive package. On the downside, the D700's five frames per second is slower than the D3, and like all of Nikon's full-frame sensor cameras, the Nikon D700 cannot accept Nikon's line of DX lenses without a sharp reduction in resolution to 5MP. | | Expert reviews of the D700, including those at [http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/NikonD700/ Digital Photography Review], [http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D700/D700A.HTM Imaging Resource], and [http://www.photocrati.com/nikon-d700-review-field-test-report/ Photocrati Photography Blog] have been highly favorable.
