Nikon anuncia la nueva D700
Posted by David Medina on July 1, 2008
Hoy, Nikon develó su nueva adición a su roster de cámaras de formato FX (full frame), la Nikon D700. Con el mismo sensor DX de la Nikon D3, la D700 es más liviana. En mi opinión la D700 va dirigida al fotógrafo de boda.Â
Es esencialmente una D3 más compacta en un cuerpo similar en tamaño de la D300. Parece estar diseñada para enfrentarse a la cámara que Canon presente como remplazo de la excelente 5D.
El precio de $,2999 es de $2,000 menos que la D3, lo cual la va a hacer muy atractiva.
Â
Aquà comparada a su hemana mayo, la D3.
Estas son las especificaciones:
- 12.1 megapixel full-frame sensor (8.45µm pixel pitch)
