Nikon D700 &ndash; High speed performance The D700 digital SLR has a speedy start-up time of only 0.12 seconds, with only a fractional shutter release time lag of 40ms &ndash; as seen on the flagship Nikon D3. The camera offers a continuous shooting speed of 5 frames per second when using the included rechargeable Li-ion EN-EL3e battery, and up to 8 frames per second with the optional Multi-Power MB-D10 battery pack and rechargeable Li-ion EN-EL4a/a or 8 AA size batteries. Compatible with high speed UDMA Compact Flash cards, the Nikon D700 is able to handle cards with a 35 megabyte recording speed. Nikon D700 &ndash; Super Scene Recognition System Nikon have made some improvements to their 1.005 pixel RGB light sensor, so that information from the sensor can be utilised to determine auto exposure, auto white balance and auto focus. The camera features 3D tracking in AF, so using the Scene Recognition System, the position of the subject can be tracked and the AF points are automatically shifted to match the movement of the subject within the frame. The Scene Recognition System also plays a significant part in the accuracy of the auto exposure and auto white balance detection. Nikon D700 &ndash; Perfect Picture Control Whether you are beginning your first journey with a DSLR or a seasoned user, the Nikon Control System enables you to create just the image you want by making adjustments to image sharpening, tone compensation, brightness, tone and saturation. The Picture Control System provides four fundamental setting options: Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome. Nikon D700 &ndash; DX cropping mode The Nikon D700 enables you to choose between FX format (36x24) or DX format (24x16). When in Auto DX crop (the default setting), the Nikon D700 will automatically select DX format when a DX Nikkor lens is attached. Nikon D700 &ndash; 51-point high-density AF system The Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module which features 51 AF points is included in the Nikon D700, through which fifteen cross-type sensors located in the centre recognise and detect the subject, even with apertures as small as f/5.6. The way in which the 51 AF points work is linked to the Scene Recognition System. The Nikon Scene Recognition System aids the camera in delivering more advanced subject detection and focus tracking performance. You can select a single AF point from either the 51 or 11 focus points, and in dynamic-area AF mode, you can select from 9, 21 or 51 areas. The 51-point option allows you to utilise the 3D tracking mode, which automatically shifts the focus point to match the subject&rsquo;s movement. The Nikon D700 also offers auto-area AF mode, giving greater priority to the subject&rsquo;s position when selecting AF points. &nbsp; /part-exchange/lens-part-exchange-deals/canon-ef-70-200mm-f/4-l-is-usm-with-your-70-200mm-f4-non-is-in-part-exchange/ http://www.mpbphotographic.co.uk/part-exchange/lens-part-exchange-deals/canon-ef-70-200mm-f/4-l-is-usm-with-your-70-200mm-f4-non-is-in-part-exchange/ 2009-09-09 15:33:27<br/><br/>£679.00 - Upgrade to the Canon&nbsp;EF 70-200mm f/4&nbsp;L&nbsp;IS&nbsp;USM with your Canon&nbsp;EF 70-200mm f/4 L&nbsp;USM non IS in Part Exchange- Just &pound;679 (with your 70-200mm assumed in Exc++ condition).
