I'm pleased to find this forum to help me get familiar with my new and first DSLR D700. I've been working with cameras of all types for the past almost 50 years, having started as a child. Introduced to BW darkroom at age 9.
From Brownie to Instamatic to rangefinders to SLR to TLR to view cameras to pocket digital and now the D700.

I look forward to meeting new friends for sharing and learning.

Hi Arthur,

Welcome to Nikonians!
Congratulations on your new D700.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!

Best Regards,
Marty

Arthur -- I'm honored to be the second Nikonian to welcome you! You will find 99.9% of the people here very civil and helpful as you wade into your new D700. An awful lot of them a smart too! I didn't get into the darkroom until about age 12 and never owned a TLR! Welcome to Nikonians!

Also I am "on the wave" with D700 and the journey is very interesting. It's great to work with a 50mm like at the old times!

Welcome aboard. Your and my history are similar. The D700 is fantastic and will probably be my last camera. This is the place to learn about it. Looking forward to your first pics.

Welcome to the D700 forum. Hope you enjoy using your new D700 as much as I enjoy using mine.

Welcome to the D700 forum Biker. As everyone has already attested, lots of helpers here on the forum so don't hesitate to ask questions. Once in a long while somebody will get weird (0.1 % as already mentioned), but if it happens folks will come out of the woodwork to your defense.
