Nikon D700 at Shoot! The Day

By now, you’ve probably heard of Nikon’s new D700 D-SLR. It’s their mid-priced, FULL FRAME camera that uses the same sensor as their flagship D3. Am I jealous of this camera? Yes, I am a little. Don’t get me wrong, I love my D3, but I have skinny arms, and it can get a little heavy when I’m shooting a lot.

Nikon shooters (and even a lot of non-Nikon shooters) are clamoring to get their hands on this camera when it becomes available in August, and guess what my little friends…

Nikon is going to be debuting the D700 at the PhotoShelter Shoot! The Day NYC Gathering. That’s right, if you’re one of the 500 people attending our NYC event on July 20th, you’ll be able to get your hands on a D700 to fire off a few frames and see what all the excitement is about. This is the very first event that Nikon is having to showcase this new camera, and we’re thrilled. If you’ve been waiting for a full-frame DSLR with the legendary high ISO performance of the D3, you’re not going to want to miss this opportunity.

Not only that, but our 20 Shoot! On Location winners will be using the D700 for their fully produced shoots. Yeah, we told you they’d be using D300s, but then Nikon went nuts on us, and is bringing in the big guns. Who are we to complain?

Here’s a little feature list:

• 12.1 Megapixel FX (full-frame) sensor
• Crazy sensitivity with up to ISO 6400
• 5 frames per second shooting (with up to 8fps with the optional power pack)
• 51 point auto-focus
• Dynamic Dust Reduction System
• and as they say, much, much more.

The agenda for the NYC Gathering is also shaping up to be pretty fabulous. Stay tuned for some great announcements…
