Love the ergonomics and other features of this camera as compared to my D80. These were taken with a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR G-AS at f/16 1/400 iso 1000 @80mm
I still haven't figured out all the bells and whistles on it but I thought these came out pretty nice considering that it was a dreary overcast cold day.

As always C&C much apprectiated.

Hi Jack,

Looks like we'll be learning the D700 at the same time. I'm just starting to play with mine too. I've loved the D80 but I look forward to the expanded abilities the new camera will afford me. I was late coming into the digital world and I am anxious to get back to the full frame system, mainly to the familiar performance of all the great lenses I had for my F4 and F5. Good luck with you new purchase.

Very nice. I like the shot but I think maybe a tighter crop or maybe a lower angle. I was I could afford a D700 but the D60 will be fine for me right now. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for commenting. Not sure why a tighter crop would be better. I wanted to balance the tree on each side with the smaller trees that still had their leaves.

Congrats on the new camera. Looks like your getting the feel for it.

I tried out my cousins for about 1/2 hour a month ago. Being a canon shooter I didn't have time to figure out all the buttons but it seemed like a real nice camera.

Thanks Schnauzer. It's quite different from my D80 but but I am getting used to it.

I don't have a D700, I use an E-3, but the D700's lcd is simply amazing, as well as its low light ability. Good luck to you both with the D700's.
