I was kind of put off by that video too...
He had some cool vids with him throwing a D3 from first floor onto the ground and one with pouring some liquids on a D3 with a 24-70/2.8.
I am most certain he is no director of anything, i feel very sorry for the guy..
So, no one confirms this?! Cause in this case i'll postpone my D700 purchase no further...
My D700 rocks, no probs yet other than having to upgrade to Lightroom 2 to read RAWs...
There's no way this guy works for Canon. You think that Canon woud be related with someone who illegally uses logos, titles, and can be taken to court for Libel?
I don’t think this clowns brain and spinal cord are touching anywhere! Perhaps the toilet seat hit him in the back of the head when he was getting a drink when he was a small child. ….. No wait …. I got it … he is the Canon engineer responsible for fixing that pesky focus issue they are having.
Crazy guy I just shot about 5 low light jobs with the best results I have ever seen from a camera. I also used flash and no flash at a low ISO The camera rocks!
This is what Youtube has done for some people. He thinks he can start a sour rumor to get hits on his page and become a "celebrity" for a moment. Its sad but I feel time will only make things worse.

You should not buy it! Everything he says is true. And I am the East Coast Director of Photography for NG and the master of ceremonies at Renssalaer.
I have not seen or read any unfavorable reports on the new camera
Last time I googled for d700 problems all I got was the FM post about some guy having a banding issue, and people in DPreview forums talking about the FM thread about the guy having banding problems...
Youtube, a double edged sword. Great place for people to be creative and share. Unfortunately its also a great place for people to be creative and share .
Jim is a amazing photographer and he's a no bullshi.. kind if guy. I'm sure he put that camera to the ultimate test. His images prove what this new Nikon pro level camera is worthy of. His images speak for themselves. This is going to be a legendary camera at a truly affordable price! Photographers everywhere demanded this quality in compact shell and they got it! It may have took them awhile to get around the full frame game but there back now. Nikon just seems to get it right!
