I secured my D700 this afternoon and so far have only taken 1 image... (admire my restraint)...

I took my first D700 image of my daughter in very dark circumstances... Exposure was 1/10s!!! @ 3200 ISO!!!
I was expecting to see a little bit of camera shake / noise, but this is what I got...

- this is straight out of the camera without any adjustments...

The D700 would seem to open up a whole new world of photography... I might be selling my flashes soon...

And before anyone asks... there's a food remnant on my daughter's cheek and her hair looks a little weird because she hadn't washed the shampoo / conditioner out of her hair... shortly after this photo was taken, she was sent back for a second shower...

I think the WB / colour balance might have very slightly suffered from the low light - a little too much green?? maybe ?

You've got to be happy with that John, did you use a VR Lens?

Nothing wrong with that one, John.

Now that, after one image, you have the D700 learning curve licked, we can expect to see some truly stellar images, right?

On the contrary. You would be able to use them at a fraction of the power needed before. The recycle times would be fast. I would be encouraged to use more flash!!

Yes I did... the 24-120VR, but I still think its a miraculous result considering how shaky my hands are usually...

Hoping to get out and about this weekend...

That's a good point... OK maybe I'll keep them...

John - I remember the thrill that you are currently experiencing!

The D700 is amazing in low light situations...congrats on your purchase.
