Nikon has released the Nikon D700. That’s true, it is similar to D300 but with ‘full frame’ viewfinder and a slightly slower shutter (five frames per second up to eight frames per second with the MB-D10 battery grip). The D700 features Image Sensor cleaning (’sensor shake’), more flexible ‘hard button’ programming, virtual horizon in Live View and different DX mode indication on the focusing screen. Unique part will be its built-in flash, it is the first professional DSLR to feature it. It is available for RM9,825-RM9,999 for the body only. Check out more details after the break.
