 Nikon D700 Camera Review.

The viewfinder of the D700 is bright, clear and informative. Not at all overloaded with uninteresting information and data. All important information is clearly visible and the displays can be read under all lighting situations. I like the larger viewfinder of a full format camera compared to the smaller one of all DX cameras - for me, this is a key advantage of FX format cameras! What I do not like too much is the fact, that the viewfinder displays only 95% of the full frame - so you cannot compose an image completely by using the viewfinder - you would have to use the large backscreen if you want to see exactly what the picture will contain. 95% is fine and common for most SLR´s but I prefer the 99,0% of the D3 and the D300 viewfinder - why was this not done here?


Well, I guess it was not done because of two reasons -weight/size and cost of the body. OK, this is a slight drawback of the D700, but the price difference to the D3 (at time of publication the D700 is about half the price of the D3 in Europe) needs to result in some compromises.
