CANON! Release the 5D MK II ALREADY!!!


Today, Nikon announces its new professional DSLR, the D700. And Calumet has this exciting new camera available for pre-order now.

Augmenting Nikon's already exceptional series of DSLRs, the D700 fills the gap between the D300 and the D3. The D700 has many top-of-the-line features, including an FX-Format CMOS-Sensor. With its 36 x 24 mm size, this sensor eliminates the lens magnification factor present in most DSLRs on the market. In other words, your 50mm lens shoots like a 50mm lens—not an 80mm.

At 12.1 megapixels and with 14-bit A/D conversion, the D700 captures images with superb resolution and tonal subtlety. ISO sensitivity up to 6400 (expandable to 25600), 51 autofocus points and 3D Color Matrix Metering all ensure ease and efficiency in capture. The camera also features Live View on its 3", 920,000 pixel LCD screen.

For the action photographer, the D700 shoots as fast as 5 frames-per-second on its own. A battery grip can be added to max the speed at a blazing 8fps.

Pre-order now and be one of the first to receive this incredible new camera when stock is received.

disco~stu: If the live view is the image on the LCD screen prior to hitting the shutter button, then no it is not worth it. You said it, the photog makes the pic. When I use my Kodak P&S I switch from the live view (via the LCD screen) and go for the view finder, which on my Kodak is electronic so I assume it's a smaller version of the LCD.
