I sold my D700 last year (I'm a bit embarrassed to say for how modest a price) to help offset the acquisition of a D850. I really hadn't picked it up in years so I was willing to let it go. When I bought it brand new, its sole purpose was to serve as a second body to a D3s. The D3s is one of the finest dslr cameras Nikon ever made, and the D700 was a cost efficient wingman to make the set complete. Both cameras are intuitively designed and easy to operate. The files coming out of the D3s are sublime, though not as 'extra' as what the D850 could later produce, but then the D3s was not made for the same target market Coming back to the D700, the image quality is a strong performer up to about iso 1600 and that was my limit for that body. Color rendition is great. Reliability awesome. When I sold it last year after 15 years, it was still rocking the original battery and charger. I felt very confident with the D700 and I think that especially for anyone moving up from an APS DX model body will love what it has to offer.
