Finally rented one from BorrowLens for a week. Though I had it long enough, I just didn’t get to play with it as much as I would have wanted to 😦 I took it out just once, but most of the time ended up being in the Arbor Theater watching “The Theory of Everything“.

As I was buying my 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses, I have been eyeing the Full Frame cameras. And when the D700 came out within a couple of months of me getting the D300 – I have been kicking myself.
Now that my buying itch has begun (it has been a while since I have made any photography related purchase – my last was the D80, but that was to replace my D50 which I broke), I am starting to think and compare the following:
The D700 might be the most rational option.
Of the 3 main options, I have ONLY used the D700.
I am NOT considering the D800. Can’t get myself to consider a camera that also has video capability. I know the D4 has the same, but . . . .

I rented the D800 for a family event for a weekend and though I took a lot of pix, didn’t get to really play with it the way I would have wanted to 😦

I have borrowed / rented the D700 a few times (from both a friend of mine and also from Precision).

Nikon Just came out with a FX Format D700 (announced July 2, to be made generally available late July / early August).
Ken Rockwell has a comparative review of the D700 vs the D3 and Canon’s 5D.
