In short, the device turned out to be a pretty decent machine. Tactile sensations: I was immediately pleasantly surprised by the balance of the device and a relatively comfortable grip. What is absolutely absent in the younger model D750 (subjective opinion). To be honest, there was a complete feeling of walking with a small “soap box”, light and compact, perhaps we will attribute this to the pluses, it only slightly confuses the feeling of full plastic and its unreliability. Based on these dimensions, the D700 felt like a tank against Delo Mathis, not to mention the older models. Most likely, when using, there may be problems with the cover for the memory card slots, it gives a feeling of fragility. In terms of ergonomics, it’s still done well, I didn’t expect the same convenience as on D3 - D4, the location of the Mode button was not convenient, which I read a lot of criticism for, I don’t consider it relevant for myself, I don’t see the need to change shooting modes without looking, several times minute, without looking up from the shooting process. Shooting: let's start with the viewfinder. By itself, it is the same as on the entire line, large and bright, which is its undoubted plus, but the focus point illumination, to put it mildly, leaves much to be desired, in comparison with D3 - D4. Very pleased with the soft and quiet shutter. Especially when shooting in parallel on the SF. Color rendition at the level. I was pleased with the in-camera conversion algorithm to JPEG. But in terms of noise, this is of course a disappointment, it already starts to make a noticeable noise around ISO 2022, and the noise is nasty, dirty - colored. Matrix - There were a lot of discussions about the multi-megapixel matrix - A good PR campaign, I was pleasantly surprised, but the ancient 70-210, as far as I can see, calmly resolves it. The transfer rate of RAW + JpegL from the buffer was expected to be better, This can strain reporters (although there is RAWS + JpegS for them) and wedding “bombed machine gunners”. Bottom line: The camera turned out pretty good, you should not expect that it will have everything at once, because you will still need to release a D810S with improved ISO performance and some kind of D810V with 4K video shooting.
