[QUOTE="Skytalker, post: 192798, member: 15613"] I am late on this forum as well, but here are my thoughts: - apart from the sensor NOTHING is the same on the D700 and D3. Even if the sensor it is the same, the whole chain of acquiring. processing the photo signal is different. This is why the D3 has a better DR, no clipping highlights like the D700 and high ISO is better. (have a look at DPR reviews) - AF is faster since it is powered differently, tracking is better and more reliable. (See T. Hogan's review) - FPS make 11 whereas D700 makes 7 with the grip. Once grip attached, the D700 gets heavier. - no DX camera trumps it at High ISO. However: - the D700 was the best price/performance camera put ever on the market by Nikon. It was, and I would dare to say it still is, the workhorse of many professional photogs nowadays, a jack of all trades, something like today the 5Dmk3 is. The D700 gave everything you needed but still it is not the professional camera the D3 is, but back then one could have bought it at half price. I have 2 D3's and love them, definitely would not trade them for a D600. I would not trade a D700 for a D600. But these are only my thoughts, other people may have a different opinion.
