Finally got a D700OK so it's not the very first pic (don't think the random people in the camera shop would like me posting their images) but tonight I took the new purchase out for its first run.
A mate of mine playing at an open mic night: Shot in a fairly dark room with the 24-70 2.8 (also bought yesterday) at 70mm, wide open and with the ISO cranked to 8000. Even after only working with it for a day, I can say it's easily been my best camera purchase yet. The level of detail is amazing! Dan

Re: Finally got a D700Thanks folks. Had another good run with it in the sun.
Found one niggling little issue though. On my D90, there's an "Easy ISO" option where if I was in A or S mode, I could use the redundant scroll wheel to change the ISO with my right hand. Unless I've missed something - and please tell me if I have - the D700 doesn't have this. I guess I just need to get used to reaching for the ISO button on the top left instead. Seems to require some form of finger yoga to get there though! Still, more than happy to live with this given the huge benefits the camera offers. Cheers Dan

Re: Finally got a D700It's never been an issue for me - except when i forget to reset the ISO when i'm done (hmm Singapore zoo, baby cotton top monkeys - ISO 3200 damn)
But otherwise, there are a couple of other options you can set;
Cheers Tom
Re: Finally got a D700Congratulations on the purchase.
Don't forget the information button on the back. It is useful to press this and read the readout before shooting for the first time for the day. It helps you to avoid incorrectly set ISO and such-like Steve.

Re: Finally got a D700
Thanks Tom. I'm now using the f10 option. I tried the My Menu -> ISO Settings option and it does work but it only displays the ISO in the rear panel, not in the viewfinder. The way I've got it setup now is with the Fn button on My Menu -> Auto ISO On/Off. After playing with the options, the 2 shooting styles that now seem to work (for me anyway) are 1) Manual program with Auto ISO and 2) Aperture or Shutter priority with "sticky button" manual ISO. Thankfully with this camera, Auto ISO is a safe, usable option. Plus the RAW headroom seems to give me 1.5 to 2 stops latitude if the exposure is a little bit off. Next job.... get the obligatory photo of a duck.... Dan
