Sun 13-Jul-08 06:27 PM by nl West Hartford, US            So, the introduction of the D700 creates a quandry...in what way(s) is the D700 superior to or inferior to the D3? Is the D3 worth a $2000 premium? Here's what I've been able to gather so far...(if this thread generates interest, I'll edit my table below with updates ...)   D700 D3 Pro Self-cleaning sensor Smaller form factor, with option for MB-D10 for "D3 sized" body Lower cost Built in flash/CLS command Vertical grip adds vertical command dial, but it's small and hard to use 100% viewfinder Built-in vertical grip There has been a claim (Ken Rockwell!) that the D3 is "faster" than the D700. Presumably this refers to the faster frame rate, although the D700 is close with the MB-D10 attached. I assume the AF is the same as they have the same module...has anyone compared D300 to D3 AF, as they also share the same AF module? The AF motor in the D3 could be more powerful, but I doubt that matters with AF-S lenses. Dual CF card slots Default battery is the EL-EN4 Interchangeable focussing screens Con Need to add MB-D10 to get the EL-EN4 battery capacity 95% viewfinder As above, ?slower AF performance, and specs show slightly slower max frame rate with MB-D10 and much slower without MB-D10 Heavier Costs more Lacks convenience of built in flash Thoughts? nl    Alert Printer-friendly copy | Reply | Reply with quote
