The Nikon D700 is trending, and while it might not be the first budget camera I’d stick on my recommendations list, you cannot argue with the image quality or price. At the time of writing, a working Nikon D700 can be picked up from used camera retailer MPB for as little as $249 / £149. Evidently, photographers are buying up DSLRs, and when you consider what you get for your money, it’s not hard to understand why.
Nikon announced the Nikon D700 in July 2008. Its biggest selling point was its heavy infusion of Nikon’s flagship D3 tech, and that’s still appealing today. You see, the D700 might be an aging piece of kit, but it still feels like a high-end product. After all, it’s a pro-grade, weather-sealed Nikon, made in Japan. It’s got that reassuring, high-end Nikon DSLR feel in that it’s like holding a miniature tank.
