The curve balls for me? The megapixels. There’s a lot of em. Also, this is geared a lot more toward video than I would have anticipated. But beyond that… Please note I HAVE NOT touched one of these cameras, and like the D4, NO I didn’t shoot the campaign. I haven’t yet spent time with the camera to tell you any gory details, although I’m assuming I’ll be able to chat more soon.
Aesthetics? Click thru a range of images of the camera via the above tabs.
So.. I (we) knew this was coming, but rather than me spouting off about having played with the system (I can’t – although some of you journalist types have I’m sure), or telling you what your feelings about this system should be (I won’t), I’m turning the tables on you.
What’s your take? Love, hate, indifferent? Insights?

I have sold my D7000 few days ago. This camera sure do a great job within this 1 year with me. Now I’m looking for a FX body, since D800 is way too damn much pixels for me and D3s is way to costly and bulky to suit my photography style. So I think that D700 suits me better, since I’m shooting some culture, human interest & travels.
Now, the question is..
Is it worth to “upgrade” from D7000 to D700. Since D7000 is more advance in techonology and features than his 2 years old big brother (beside the size of the sensor).
I’ve had a D700 for a few years and love it- but I was always nervous when doing Billboards and Buses as sometimes the graphics guy would whinge that the Res wasn’t high enough- which of course it is but you never want a client to hear those words about your image. The D800 suits me just great- I live in a remote area and so getting access to support is near impossible- the big medium camera brands just don’t do that. The D800 is a god send for me.
