I had a play with several D700's recently, personally I found the controls a nightmare, but if it's your only camera and you get used to it, I dare say it's OK.

We had to resort to the manual to make the simplest adjustments, for example the exposure compensation turned out to be assigned to the function button??? Honestly!!! . o.O

We also eventually, discovered the settings for the built in flash assign themselves to an external flash, if mounted and override the external flash (SB800) settings. Took us an hour to figure that one out; between us my buddy and I have quite a few years of Nikon experience. By comparison the D3 just worked, using exactly the same lenses and flash.

The sensor and processor are said to be identical to the D3 so in theory it should produce exactly the same high ISO and superb images the D3 is capable of.
