Nikon D700!!

Rumors have flown the last few days on photography forums as a spy with a cell phone camera showed pics of a Nikon D700 camera and brochures detailing the mythical creature. People argued back and forth if it was fake or not. Some foaming at the mouth at the thought of a more affordable full framed Nikon. But would Nikon really unleash such a beast so soon? Nikon has had quite a year already. They released the great D3 which featured a full frame sensor, 10 frames per second, and unreal low light performance with ISO speeds reaching to something like 25,000. At the same time, they released the D300 which was loaded in features and performance as well. Canon doesn't have a camera that compares with the D300. The 40D is the closest Canon came with the performance, but it didn't match the Nikon. However the 40D is a few hundred cheaper. If you just look at price alone, that leaves the aging Canon 5D. The 5D was slowly dropped in price over the years, but has commanded the still high price due to it being the only full-frame sensored camera available and its wonderful image quality. However, Canons stranglehold on the "affordable" full frame market share will end. Nikon has officially announced the D700! It is basically a D300 body and features with a D3 sensor. It also fits halfway in the price structure and should hit shelves at around $3,000.
