New D700 owner

I have a D200 and love it but have been thinking lately I wanted to "Upgrade" to a D300s or maybe a D7000-7100. Went to my local camera store to see what they had. They had a D300, D7000, I checked them out and asked if they had a D700, they had two, one with a grip. The D700 is the camera I really wanted to upgrade too but wasn't finding any deals online in my price range ($400 or less). These were both in my price range and the same price, the gripped one had 98,000 clicks and the other at 50,000 clicks. After handling them I wanted the griped one. I got a little money off the asking price, so less then $400 and it came with two battery's, charger, both boxes and all the manuals. Missing rear LCD cover, bottom port rubber cover and strap. Camera is in great shape and so far everything seems to work properly.

So in the time I've had to play with it and the few test shots I've taken I'm really liking it. I'm not too worried about the shutter count. This is my first full frame DSLR

If any up grade i would think of is a d3 because i own the D2x and love the feel, weight and the View finders wide open field of view.
I wold still keep the D700, that's never going away.

I JUST got rid of my D700. It was a great camera, 225k shutter clicks with no issue. You have a lot of great shooting ahead of you!

I found a D750, US model with a 50mm 1.8, 4650 shutter clicks, box, books and everything for 500 bucks. I just could not pass it up.

Just got an used D700 with about 35k shutter count along with nikkor af 50mm 1.8d lens.

I used to use D3200.

Took it out for kids photos in amusement park yesterday, and I ams totally satisfied with the results.

It is a bit heavy and big for my hand to hold.
But my old peak design sling strap definitely helped me for carrying it around.

Very fast af, and way more sharp than d3200. I am very happy. ^^

Now, I just gotta replace those falling rubber grips...

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the D700. I love mine. It is quite a change from a 3200 but you will find it will grow on you. The controls are different but it is very intuitive. I set mine up with back button focus and was always very happy with the results.

I hope you enjoy the forum. It is a friendly place.

Yes it's dated but so is the D2x I've been playing with lately.
In the right situation I'm pulling out some nice images.
