D700 – My digital F100
Voila! After many years of waiting for my digital Nikon F100, it’s finally here! My brand new Nikon D700. Besides the myriads of settings and configurations it offers, the most important upgrade from my D200 was to be able to use my 35mm lenses uncropped at their real focal lengths, especially my beloved 20mm/2.8. Being able to compose wide-angle images again, is an amazing experience.
Meersburg Obertor at ISO 2500
But the low-light performance of that sensor is fantastic as well and, of course, lightyears better than what was possible on slide film. The example shows a handheld shot I took yesterday in Meersburg at ISO 2500. Even though corrected with some noise reduction in Lightroom, the original file showed only minimal noise.
Unashamedly good quality; hard to believe that this is a handheld shot taken at ISO 2500.
