Detailled Nikon D700 review by Dpreview
Dpreview has posted the awaited detailled D700 review. No really news but a serious test about pros and cons. I quote:
“The D700’s most obvious strength though is its high ISO performance (which again is very similar to the D3’s)”
“Speed wise the D700 is as good as it gets in this class of camera.”
New primes from Nikon?
Nikon Australia has listed the Nikon AF 85/1.4 lens as, I quote
“out of production, discontinued or no longer available in your country”
I hope that this is a sign for the announcement of some very good new primes…

Now that the camera is announced we already see the first sample pictures and videos made with the D90:
Official Nikon demo videos comparing with traditional camcorders
The biggest drawback in my eyes is that the autofocus doesn’t work in video mode.
Of course the camera is also capable to take pictures: 🙂
