Re: d300 to d700 or not???


+1 to all those standing up to the Kool-aid drinkers.

I have a D700 and a D200. At high ISO, the D700 is as good as people say. At base ISOs (ISO 200 on the D700, ISO 100 on the D200), the D200 produces noticebly better images--before and after RAW processing in Nikon Capture 2 Nx. This is especially true in the shadows.

If high ISO performance and wider viewing angle with FX lenses is worth the money to a particular individual, the D700 is worth every penny-I did it never looked back. If not, the D300 or D200 may be the better choice. I still prefer the D200 for telephoto, where the reach is important, for macro work, and other things where I'm shooting at base ISO. That said, the D700 is my workhorse camera.

But anyone talking about "full frame goodness being better in every way" is just simply wrong.
