Nikon has announced the D700 SLR, a
12-megapixel full-frame camera that uses the same sensor as does the
D3. The D700 also has a built-in flash, a sensor cleaning feature, and
can shoot up to ISO 25,600. It shoots at 5 frames a second, but can be
boosted to 8 frames a second with the use of an external battery pack.
DPReview hosts a visual comparison of the D300, D700 and D3. Underwater photographers in our forums
are already speculating as to whether the D700 will drop into D300
housings. Many are also excited by the D700’s large viewfinder.
The D700 retails at $2,999.
