Photocandy: Nikon D700

Generally i don't blog much about technically innovations. The sunny f/16s rule applies to all cameras just as much as the f/8 and be there rule does. Light doesn't discriminate any more than you being in the right spot discriminates.

That being said, Nikon announced today that it is introducing a pro-grade, mid-ranged full-frame-sensor, baby-D3 called a D700. Its $2000 less then the D3 and i am going to buy it when i can get my hands on one. While the D3 is the camera i've wanted of late, the D700 is the one i've been waiting for. Full frame sensor, great auto focus, low signal-to-noise at high iso, all for $3000.

I've gotten jealous of watching college kids walk around with a 24-70 and a Canon 5d and creating some amazing pictures that you just can't reproduce without a full-framed sensor and that focal range. I've got the lens (24-85/2.8-4), all ive been waiting for is the camera.

So much tech goodness that i want. Shame the paycheck says I'd be better off doing something else....
