" I've now had the chance to shoot with the D300, D700, and D3 on extended trips. Which would I pick? Well, it's looking like the D700, as that's the way my Ready Kit is packed. For the first time in a long time I'm close to where I was when I was shooting film." :smile:
the difference isn't statistically significant, but it's interesting that the D700 has less shutter lag than the D3. ricky
Thanks...Rich! Getting a early view of his Review and his meaty observations and operating tips is most helpful.
And this.. "The D700 does a very good job with erratically moving objects, such as flying birds and most sports. Like the D3, I'd place the D700 a bit better than the D2x in this respect. Only when the light gets dim and the subject gets decidedly out of the central area did I find any problems with tracking moving subjects. "
Interesting review, and as others mentioned I appreciate his bit more detailed information about the D700s AF in comparison to the D3 and D300. One thing I wonder about is that he says he gets around 9EV of dynamic range and can pull/push maybe 1 more. Not that that isn't very good in itself, but I'm seeing more like 10-12EV when I compress the full range, use D-Lighting, or something similar... IIRC - DPR said Maybe he means about 9EV with out of camera JPGs?
