1- Better built than d300 feels more solid
2- Image quilty with standard settings looks ok
3- IQ with portrait and landscape pictue controls great
4- Need to customize picture control to personnel liking
5- Focus is good
6-image compression is better my 4g cf on d300 197 images on the D700 around 205 varies
7- Buttons and switches feel more solid durable
8- NO Noise big improvement over D300 which you could find noise even at 200 iso.
9- Battery grip to me is a must
10- Seems like NX2 is sluggish with D700 nef's i see a patch coming?
11- Viewfinder is excellent very large and clear and bright also has a built-in shutter to block stray light when using tripod
12- No blown out reds an issue i had with D300
My humble opinion once you get used to the feel of the D700 and its settings this will most likey be a long term keeper Nikon will have to offer something pretty amazing to get you to replace this camera.

Temperatue sensitive will lock up when you least expect it

I have purchased two of these lens from different suppliers both seemed to be dead out of the box but if you wait an hour or so(must be heat from shipping after they cool down) they seemed to start working but image quality is not great
Talked to sigma tech said to return to supplier may be an issue with this new version they are researching
Its a shame i used the older version on a canon it was a very impresive lens hopefully they will get it fixed i can't see paying 1700.00 for nikkor.
Apparently this lens is heat sensitive tolerances must be very close
I recall when i talked to Tech Support they were interested in Temperature's when lens stopped functioning.....

I have purchased two of theses new macro lens ??
From differnet suppliers both were dead out of box if you let them sit for a while they would start to function
Contacted Sigma told me to return them to supplier possible
manufacturing defect
Seems to be a tolernce issue hast from shipping causes lens to lock up but even after lens cools down quality of images are very lacking
I would hold off until all bugs are ironed out.

Pros:

THe D80 is a very capable camera i suggest shooting a ;ot to get used the camera
|
|
Cons:
|
No so far just shoot until yuo get used to it's feel and capablities
|
|
|
I used canons for years even the 5D -- i switched to nikon because of ergonomics and consumer lens that shhot like pro lens
My experince so far is that the D80 is a very capable camera also exellent selection of third party lens
Canon has its advantages but i think NIkon has not closed the prosumer gap but has set a standard that even it will really have trouble improving on....
