Nikon D700

The newest member of Nikon’s FX-format (full-frame) lineup looks to be a serious contender for nature shooters

For the outdoor photographer who loves the full-frame capability and superb performance of Nikon’s top-of-the-line D3, but would prefer a smaller, lighter camera (and a lighter price), Nikon has introduced the D700. The camera shares many of the D3’s fine features, but is much more compact (albeit still quite rugged) and costs $2,000 less. The D700 even adds a few features not present in the D3, like a pop-up Speedlight flash unit and a sensor-dust reduction system.

I decided to take the plunge and buy the D700 last week. I have previously owned the D70, D200, D300, and the D90. I've decided the next step in my evolution as a photographer is to shoot with a camera with a full frame sensor. Once you find yourself purchasing the more expensive "fast" lenes, it won't be long before you realize that you're handicapped by the smaller, conventional (non-FX format) sensor size. Becoming familair with the D700 is nearly effortless for those of us who have already shot with Nikon digital cameras (such as those I've owned, listed above).

I don't see any incorrect specs in this article after looking at Nikon's Website. They actually don't state the size of the actual image sensor in this entry, which is you're right MikeyBee, FX-format 36x23.9mm. But they do provide the correct resolution dimensions and the 12.1MP effective pixels CMOS sensor, and also mention that it is a full-frame camera, which is right.

These specs incorrectly state sensor size. It's an FX at 36.0 x 23.9mm.

A bit of a cut-and-paste error perhaps, as their is unrelated text re: Pentax and Samsung is this brief write-up.
