[QUOTE="TedG954, post: 78839, member: 9701"] Wow. I'm really blessed. I picked up my "used" D700. If there weren't finger prints on the LCD, I would have thought it was NIB. It is in excellent condition and I am very pleased. [ATTACH=CONFIG]16924[/ATTACH] It came with all the original accessories, in the original box. Additionally, I received an extra battery, a Thomas D700 Field Guide, a memory card, a UV filter, and a glass LCD protector. The leather hand strap is a lot nicer than the one I use on my D5100.
