Top camera away from the pixel mania

Have long struggled with me to upgrade on full frame and then decided to go for a used Nikon D700.
Recently returned switched from Canon to Nikon, and still own a D300 (1.5 crop factor), which also allows images at a high level. Generally, I was persuaded to switch the intuitive usability of the Nikon SLR's.

Anyone familiar with the D700, knows what he holds in your hand. Magnesium housing, solid, trustworthy, built to last.
Handling and operation are intuitive, through the many hot keys.
It produces moderate file sizes (12MP full-frame sensor), you do not need new computers, the low noise is a dream. ISO 1600 is not a problem.

Especially for me, the fact is interesting that Nikon used since about 1960 the same bayonet (F bayonet).
This allows even older, and thus less expensive but nevertheless to acquire excellent optical lenses, for example on photo exchanges.

Conclusion: TOP - SLR with convincing sound engineering, which must not hide from the present pixel monsters, by a very friendly and helpful seller.
