 | Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera Body Only
Buy new: £1,767.80 Big and heavy, but fantastic in poor light. Outstanding autofocus system too.
|
 | Nikon MB-D10 Battery Pack for D300 & D700
Buy new: £210.99 / Used from: £149.99 Lets you get 8FPS using AA batteries, provides a vertical grip, and balances heavy lenses much better. Weighty but solid - metal chassis.
|
 | Nikon AF-S 24-70mm/2.8G ED
Buy new: £1,194.00 A fantastically sharp full-frame standard zoom lens. Well built but heavy! Don't buy the 24-120VR kit lens, the optical quality is awful. (Ken Rockwell says 1 of the 10 worst ever Nikkors. I agree.)
|
 | Nikon SB-800 Speedlight
Buy used from: £249.99 While the SB-900 is great, this is a better deal at the moment.
|
 | DUCATI EXTREME IV COMPACT FLASH 4GB
The fastest memory card (according to Rob Galbraith's database) with the D3, so probably with the D700 too.
|
 | Kodak KAARDC4 4 pack of 2500mAh AA NiMH Batteries
Buy new: £5.99 Pop 8 AAs into the MB-D10 battery pack for 8fps! Much cheaper than an extra EN-EL3e or an EN-EL4a. I've always had great experience with Kodak Ni-MH rechargeables.
|
 | Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
Buy new: £388.95 This is a great portable telephoto zoom. The optical quality is excellent for the price.
|
 | Nikon 14-24Mm F2.8G Af-S Ed Zoom Nikkor
Buy new: £1,357.46 / Used from: £1,259.00 By all accounts, a truly outstanding wide angle lense for FX format.
|
 | Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG ASL - Nikon fit lens
Buy new: £524.99 A cheaper wide angle lens, still pretty decent optical quality and nice build quality.
|
 | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0, Full Version (PC/Mac)
Buy new: £197.77 / Used from: £103.88 You'll need new software for raw files from the D700. For Lightroom, Aperture & Capture NX, a paid-for upgrade from version 1.x to 2.x is required. Or hack files to look like they're from a D3!
|
 | Mini-HDMI to HDMI Lead (1.5m) PRO-GOLD Range (v1.3 Type C Mini)
Buy new: £9.99 If you want to plug your D700 into your HD TV, you'll need one of these leads. Mini HDMI leads are hard to find. (One salesman in Comet claimed they didn't exist lol!)
|
 | Nikon AF-D VR 4,5-5,6/80-400 ED
Buy new: £1,125.99 / Used from: £850.00 A great ultra telephoto lens, but the focus mechanism is SLOW!
|
 | SIGMA 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG APO Nikon AFD
Buy new: £666.98 An excellent standard to ultra telephoto zoom lens. Optically excellent, and the small aperture is not such a problem with the D700's high ISO performance. Weighs a bit though.
