Nikon D700 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

The new D700 digital SLR camera featuring a 12.1-effective megapixel Nikon FX-format sensor that measures 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. Benefiting from Nikon’s legacy of imaging technology innovation, the D700 offers both advanced and professional photographers stunning image quality, accurate color reproduction and revolutionary low light performance.

Building on the immense success of the Nikon D3 professional D-SLR camera, the D700 offers pro-level performance and an extensive array of features and innovations in a comfortably nimble platform. In addition to the Nikon-original FX-format CMOS sensor, the D700 incorporates Nikon’s EXPEED Image Processing System, Nikon’s renowned 51-point auto focus system with 3D Focus Tracking and two Live View shooting modes that allow photographers to frame a shot using the camera’s three-inch high-resolution LCD monitor. The D700 also features Nikon’s sophisticated Scene Recognition System and a new active dust reduction system.

Nikon’s flagship FX and DX-format cameras, the D3 and D300 respectively, established new benchmarks for digital image quality, speed, and unmatched ISO performance. The D700 maintains this new measure with exceptional overall image quality, broad tonal range and depth, and extremely low noise throughout its native ISO range of 200 to 6400.

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Highlights

The legendary Nikon FX-Format CMOS sensor The D700’s 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS image sensor provides exceptional image quality throughout its remarkable ISO sensitivity range. A large pixel size of 8.45 µm allows for an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio and a wide dynamic range. The 12-channel readout enables accelerated information transfer, allowing the D700 to shoot at speeds of up to eight frames per second at full resolution (using the optional MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack) and quickly write image data onto the CompactFlash card.

The D700 offers a versatile base ISO range from 200-6400 but can be expanded to range from ISO 100 (Lo-1) to 25,600 (Hi-2) affording photographers the new-found confidence to shoot in the widest variety of lighting conditions from the brightest midday sun to dim interiors. Images previously thought to be impossible to create without complex lighting set-ups or lengthy post-processing are now captured easily and faithfully with the D700, unleashing new and diverse shooting possibilities.

Also new to the D700 is Nikon’s first self-cleaning system designed for the FX-format sensor. Utilizing four distinct vibration frequencies, the D700 frees image degrading dust particles from the sensor’s optical low-pass filter at start-up, shut-down or on demand. As an added benefit, the mirror box and entire shutter mechanism are constructed of materials that resist creating debris that can affect image purity.

Fastest speed and autofocus in its class The D700 starts up in a mere 0.12 seconds and has a nearly imperceptible shutter-lag response time of 0.40 milliseconds, making this an extraordinarily responsive tool for the demanding photographer. The D700 can record full-resolution JPEG images at an astounding five frames per second (fps), or eight fps with the optional MB-D10 battery pack for up to 100 images, or up to 17 lossless 14-bit Nikon NEF (RAW) files. To write images efficiently, the Nikon D700 is also compliant with the next-generation of high-speed UDMA CompactFlash cards that will enable recording speeds up to 35 megabytes/second.

The D700 offers one of the fastest and most accurate advanced AF systems on the market today. Nikon’s Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module features 51 AF points and the ability to use 3D tracking to focus and lock-on a moving subject. The 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors can be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single Area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either 9, 21 or all 51 focus points. The system also features 3D Focus Tracking with automatic focus point switching that takes advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses scene color content and light information to accurately track the subject.

Intelligent features for sophisticated performance The D700 relies on a wealth of innovative Nikon technologies to help photographers create superb images. Nikon’s Scene Recognition System analyzes information from the 1,005-pixel RGB light sensor for use in auto exposure, auto white balance and autofocus calculations. The Scene Recognition System also assists autofocus by tracking subject position and automatically shifts the AF points used to match the subject’s movement within the frame. This system also contributes to higher accuracy of auto exposure and auto white balance detection, resulting in sharp landscapes, flattering portraits and engaging action shots.

Photographers also have the option to enhance their pictures during or after capture with the Picture Control System and Active D-Lighting. Nikon’s Picture Control System enables users to adjust their images to pre-set parameters such as Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome that apply tweaks to image sharpening, tone compensation, brightness, overall tone and saturation. D-Lighting uses localized tone control technology to further optimize highlight and shadow detail while also maintaining natural contrast, giving photographers the ability to capture more perfectly exposed images, even in unusual lighting conditions. Active D-Lighting lets photographers choose from various intensities during capture, while a new Automatic mode also applies varying levels of D-Lighting as, and when needed, to enhance photos while shooting.

Enhanced Live View modes and viewfinder Ideal for studio, remote applications and more, Nikon’s Live View allows the photographer to compose the subject on the bright three-inch, TFT LCD monitor. In Handheld mode, the user is able to recompose the frame prior to actual shooting; familiar TTL phase-detection AF is activated, using all 51 AF points. Tripod mode is designed for precise focus accuracy with still subjects and tripod stabilization. It enables focal-plane contrast-detect AF on a desired point within a specific area. Remote view, focusing and shooting can also be controlled from a PC (via connection or wireless) using the optional Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 software. Additionally, the Virtual Horizon feature on the D700 can now be superimposed over the Live View monitor image to aid composition.

While using Live View to compose or review images and settings, users will appreciate the ultra-high resolution 920,000-dot VGA, three-inch TFT LCD monitor with tempered glass that provides a wide 170-degree viewing angle. The large monitor is remarkably effective when confirming the focus with enlarged playback images. The camera also outputs a video signal to an HD television using the new smaller HDMI-C standard, which is an excellent solution for workshop demonstrations or shooting tethered for clients.

Photographers will also be able to compose images easily using the wide and bright viewfinder that features an eye-level pentaprism with high refraction index and provides a 95-percent frame coverage with 0.72x magnification. Each of the 51 AF points, as well as a framing grid, can also be superimposed on the finder screen to suit the photographer’s personal preferences.

Rugged construction and durability High-strength magnesium alloy is used for the construction of the camera body, rear body and mirror box to create a precision platform, reduce weight and provide rugged durability. The camera is tested to stand up to the rigors of the globetrotting photographer and is weather sealed using precision O-rings where connections are made to effectively combat dust and moisture.

The shutter unit employs an assembly made of a new composite carbon fiber and Kevlar hybrid material. Tested on fully assembled cameras, the D700’s shutter unit has been proven through 150,000 cycles under demanding conditions. The self-diagnostic shutter constantly monitors and maintains shutter precision to ensure peak performance.

Well, I finally got my D700 and have had it for about a week now so I wanted to put up some initial impressions of the pros and cons from an experienced amateur’s perspective (been taking photos for almost 15 years now, but I wouldn’t consider myself in any way a professional).

From the pro side:
I am VERY pleased with the full-frame CCD. Before this camera, I had the D100 and was happy with it, but always was a bit annoyed that my Nikon lenses were converted by the different size of the CCD. Now that I’m back to 35mm, I feel like the SLR acts a lot more like my old N90s. My favorite lens, the 85mm 1.4 produces astoundingly beautiful shots with increadibly shallow depth of field. I’m in heaven.

On the whole, the features I’ve used so far have been quite impressive. At normal ISOs the quality is just outstanding. I don’t think I’ve ever seen digital pictures with this level of detail period. This said, what really impressed me was the 6400 ISO. I’ve played around with a number of digital cameras over the years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a camera that can produce the kinds of low-light images that the D700 does. The noise is so unbeleavably low that I am just floored.

I’ve been using a 16gb Sandisk Extreme memory card and have been very impressed with the write-speed of the camera. On RAW quality imaged, I can get 800+ shots to the memory card and the transfer rate to the computer is excellent considering the size of the files. Shooting speed is also excellent. I do mostly portraits, but when I do candids I do find myself shooting multiple shots in succession and the D700 performs wonderfully. It does make me curious as to how much faster the D3 is, but I can’t imagine it being that much faster.

Some minor gripes (I would discount 1/2 star for these if I could, but rather than rating the camera at a 4, I’m giving it a 5 because I am very happy with it).

1. The live-view is somewhat odd in the way that it works. I was hoping that the camera would lift the mirror and then basically become like an average point-and-shoot. It doesn’t really work that way and frankly, makes me appreciate the view-finder all the more. The instructions to get the live-view to work are somewhat complex (it isn’t just a switch, you also have to go into menus, make selections, and then depress the shutter button half-way each time you take a picture in order to activate the live-view every time). It is a nice option for when you can’t look through the viewfinder easily, but definitely not for all-the-time-use.

2. Software compatibility has some quirks. It seems to me that my Cannon worked with XP and Photoshop right out of the box, whereas with this camera I had to go to Nikon’s website and download Codecs in order to get my computer to recognize RAW images… also… why does Nikon insist on calling RAW images NEF files? Seems to add a layer of complexity that is just unecessary. Another odd thing is a note on Photoshop’s (Adobe’s) website which tries to let consumers know that Nikon and Adobe are “comitted to working together” but actually seems to have the opposite effect given the tinkering that is necessary in order to get NEF files recognized. That said, now that I’ve got it all set up properly, it works fine and I’m very happy.

Summary: Seems to pack all the bang of the D3, but at a nice savings. Definitely not cheap, but you get what you pay for and it is very nice to be putting my Nikon lenses to good use. Picture detail and quality is through the roof, impressive low-light sensitivity. Full-frame CCD is awesome. Camera feels great in the hand, solid construction, good menus, dials, buttons, etc. all feel great.

Creative Zen Stone Plus 2 GB MP3 Player

This delivers on everything I was looking for in a small MP3 player. It’s tiny, but the LCD screen and even the built-in speaker are more than sufficient. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The drag and drop software included couldn’t be easier to use, and is included in the player, so you don’t have to pop in a separate CD to set up. It comes with a silicon cover with a handy hook that you can easily snap on to your shirt or pocket, and you’re ready to go.

Samsung HL61A750 61-Inch 1080p LED Powered DLP HDTV

Experience a picture with almost the same high quality as the movies you watch on the big screen. CinemaPure Color Engine creates brilliant, realistic images and displays color that’s 40% brighter than traditional HDTVs. The Samsung HL61A750 also has a huge 61″ screen that surprisingly doesn’t take up much room. Immerse yourself in an incredible 1080p high definition experience and enjoy movies and sports to the fullest with this Samsung DLP TV.

I saw one report that standard def shows were awful, well that is not the case, at least for me. I set my cable box to output both 1080 and 480p, now the standard shows, sent in 480p, look nearly as good as the 1080… which are gorgeous!!!
I also read a review that the built in speakers put out poor sound. I turned on the new TruSound and it’s really nice. I didn’t have my receiver connected for the first full day, except for the fact I really missed the rear speakers, I thought the sound was really good. I have difficulty hearing what’s said on TV sometimes (I’m getting up in age). But not with this TV, and I don’t have to blast it. With the TruSound turned on, it really did give the TV a sense of surround sound without muffling the speaking portion of the sound.
I read about this TV having really bad silk screen affect. Well, If I sit within three feet of the TV, I can see it in some lighting and some shots; but at a reasonable distance from the TV, I can’t see it even when I’m looking for it.
My only complaint was the Samsung stand is flimsy on carpet, so I strapped the TV to the wall… I live in Northridge, California
So far the TV is way better than I expected. I really wanted an LCD TV. I have a 37″ in my bedroom, so I know how nice they look, but I just couldn’t justify the price right now; so I settled. I’m glad I did. The picture is every bid as good as the bedroom TV, the screen doesn’t reflect light from inside the room or from the windows, the sound, even without the receiver and added speakers, is really nice. The set is made so that the screen is just about the entire front of the box it’s housed in, so there isn’t a lot of extra box taking up room. My living room is about 30 feet long and I really wanted a bigger TV, but this TV looks a lot bigger than I was expecting, even though it’s replacing an older rear projection TV that also was 61″. That box took up so much room, I guess I thought the screen was bigger. This new Samsung actually seems to have a larger viewing screen area.
Bottom line, I’m glad I saved the money and got this TV. If it holds up as well as the one I just replaced, that is not 10 years old, I’ll be WAY more than happy.

I received this a few days after my new Canon XSI. I used it for about a week and loved it’s crisp clean resolution, image stabilization, auto focus, etc. However, after using it for awhile I realized that the manual focus was not working properly. I was so disappointed. After the initial shock of the malfunction, I went to the Canon website and applied for warranty service. I followed that instructions, and within a little over a week, I had my lens back good as new. The whole process was very simple and straight forward. I did have to pay for shipping but the repair was free. All in all I am very happy with the lens, service, and would highly recommend it to anyone from beginner to advanced photographer.

WOW!! Corsair 32GB Flash Voyager USB 2.0 Flash Drive $134.99

The Corsair Flash Voyager family of USB drives is rugged, stylish, compact, and reliable, making them ideal for transporting MP3s, digital images, presentations and more. Flash Voyager drives are fully Plug and Play with most operating systems and are backward compatible with USB 1.1. Their durable rubber casing is easy to grip and water resistant.The Flash Voyager product line is both enclosed in the Corsair proprietary all-rubber Flash Voyager housing. Boasting water-resistant properties, these drives allow users to carry more valuable data and applications without compromise. Several reviews of the Flash Voyager products have demonstrated the ruggedness, durability, and reliability of the Flash Voyager family. The Flash Voyager has been shown laundered, baked, frozen, boiled, dropped, and even run over by a SUV in many third party reviews. After all the punishment it receives, the drive continues to work.

No problem with this thumbdrive: works as expected for my uses, which include document backup, storage and transportability for field work. The water resistence and lanyard are good qualities. I cannot speak to speed. I do not like the included encryption package… it is a pain to use it on PCs other than those to which you have high permissions. It’s easy enough to find other solutions. Space is a dream… 32GB! Yes.
