Nikon D700 Previews
Finally after numerous leaks Nikon D700 has been officially released. We were spot on with most of the features, release dates and the price. What is surprising is that Nikon had a nearly baked camera for quite sometime. That translates to quicker availability for us. We should have the cameras in hand by end of July 2008 - something new in Nikon.
Nikon has devoted a mini-site for the Nikon D700. Check it out…

Don’t forget to check out the commentary by the extreme weather photographer, Jim Reed. He quotes
“After 18 hard-core storm chases transversing nearly 9,000 miles over 59 days and more than 100 severe weather warnings, I am delighted (and relieved) to report that the D700 not only passed with flying colors, but it exceeded my expectations.”
Here’s a picture of him chasing a twister with a Nikon D700:
Jim has devoted a page in his website for the Nikon D700:

All in all kudos to Nikon - job well done. Now, if only they roll out those standard prime lenses, it would be swell!
