   Wow, looks good doesn’t it? Looks like the rumors were right! I think this camera pretty much fills the gap in the Nikon range i.e. Nikon’s version of the 5D. The inclusion of sensor cleaning, absent in the D3, is very welcome – only the 95% viewfinder coverage is a bit disappointing, tho I’ve managed fine with my D200 until now, so I’ve got to say I’m very tempted! If the street price is competitive, I think it should sell very well, particularly to the wedding & portrait market where the FX sensor will be a real benefit. Also a lot of pros will like one as a high quality back up to their D3′s. If Canon’s D5 replacement is anywhere near ready, they’d do well announcing it before the D700 becomes available or they might find a large slice of their potential market already gone. Looking forward to the reviews!

   My boss and I were pixeling peeking previous D700 photos, I guess I was right, that last one (from France) was right on the money!

   This is great!!!

   Remember that the 5D has a 96% viewfinder, so it’s just seems to be a part of this segment of cameras.

   Man, I love my Nikon’s!!!

   For full specs: Google Nikon France and instead of clicking the link outright, go to “translate Page” then navigate to the D700. Both D700 and SB-900 are on the first page

    My question is, how do you open the CF door?

    I found out that it pulls and swings out like the D50 and D80.
