Вот, как мне кажется, интересное мнение человека:
I upgraded from a D200 used mainly with the 18-200mm f3.5-f5.6. Just search my stream with 'D200' as criteria. The D200 was mainly used for travel photography, and as such 'available light' photography is critical, especially handheld. The D200 has done very well, but I always had to shoot RAW and always had to spend at least 15-30min per photo to get the real potential out of the shot.
Going to the D700 is like entering a new world. The JPEGs come out so well defined, in both colour, contrast anddetail that I cannot exctract that much more from the RAW files (at this stage of my skills!) to justify the time. So I'm shooting JPEG again, although I probably still shoot RAW a safe guard for scenes with challenging contrast ranges. Time will tell...
I went to B&H in Manhattan to make the final upgrade decision and tried the D700 with various lenses, for example the 24-120mm f3.5-5.6, but it is very clear that to realise the investment of the camera you need to go the whole ten yards and get the the new generation FX lenses, such as the revered 14-24mm f2.8 and the highly undervalued 24-70mm f2.8. That's exactly what I just got. Given I already had the 70-200mm f2.8, it's a complete set.
With these lenses focus is lightning fast (even in the dark) and pin point accurate (a critical issue when you shoot f2.8!). Available light shooting becomes a dream. But most of all the clarity and definition right into the very corners from the shots straight out of the camera are just astounding.
If you can afford the complete set, or at least just the D700 with the 24-70mm f2.8 you'll never regret it.
As a footnote, I thought the omission of VR on the 24-70mm f2.8 was a bad mistake on Nikon's behalf, but given the high ISO of the D3/D700 and the inherent speed at the short focal lengths of the lens, I haven't even't missed VR so far. Achieving 1/50th of a sec at f2.8 under ISO400 is not hard at all, at which point the need for VR has already passed!
