Hi guys,
I'm new here, I've had a D7000 for 18 months and love it. I really cant fault it at all.
I've got a nice 50mm nikkor 1.4G which gives great results, also the 18-200 is a versatile lens. I've also got a more compact 24-85 AF-S which is more compact, lighter and pretty good. I believe this and the 50mm 1.4G will work on FF.
I had a play in Jessops with a D600 with a nikkor 24-70 f2.8 and was blown away by the images it produced, sharp, detailed, just amazing. (I know this helps having such a quality lens attached)
That really got the FF itch going inside me. I've had a look around and prefer the D700 for its better noise handling at higher ISO so have been thinking about getting a D700. I've never used a D700 tho.
I shoot a lot indoors and low light hence lower MP and good noise control / higher ISO is a priority for me.
I've had a good offer on my D7000 and am looking at a D700 tomorrow (used, 11k activations, very good condition).
I just want some honest opinions (hopefully from those on here that own / use both cameras) as to the improvements in noise / IQ from the D700 over the D7000. I dont care about losing video, a memory card slot, heavier body etc. just interested in the photo / image performance.
there seems to be a wide variety of opinions, some say the D700 is vastly better in IQ / sharpness etc... others say its marginally better.
Please help, am looking at the D700 tomorrow and am seriously thinking about getting it. part of me feels guilty tho because the D7000 has been faultless and has delivered me really good results.
I know if I kept the D7000, I think I wouldnt use it knowing its the "lesser" camera.
