<p>If I was upgrading in your situation I would find it very difficult to pick which camera to go with they are both fantastic! if I had to stick my neck out it would be the 5D mk2 and that is from someone who already owns a D700 and a couple of expensive lenses.<br>

Go with your gut feeling.</p>

<p>Had mine for about 6 months and all ok so. I havent had any problems with the lens but a few with the D700. Serial no. starts with 307.</p>

<p>Ive never had a problem with my Ipod lol, regards understanding my Gear all the understanding in the world wouldnt change the fact that the Camera malfunctioned Robert but I do understand what you are saying about the back up Camera. I will pass the last part of information on to my wife but remember it was YOU who suggested it! lol</p>

<p>Thanks Guys. Jerry the weather was warm but but no air con sadly. I,ll give the "try a different card" a go and see how it goes. It,s not cheap changing cameras as we all know Thanks again.</p>

<p>Hi Peter I didn't try removing the battery but if I keep the Camera and it happens again I will do Thanks.</p>

<p>It looks like it David</p>

<p>Ha Ha Ha I like it Eric. Yes the firmware is all up to date Thanks Fab.</p>

<p>OK</p>

<p>Could be I suppose the card is a SanDisk Extreme 3 4.0GB But the camera is going through it,s "happy time" at the moment so would have to try another card and see if it happened again.</p>

<p>Yes that was fine Thanks one of the first things I checked. I will try once more with Nikon and see how I get on.<br>

If no luck then! not sure what I will do.</p>

<p>Hi Guys sorry for any confusion. The problem was with the different buttons on the camera. The play back button wouldn't react when pressed when it did co-operate the multi-function button on the back of the camera wouldn't allow me to go back and forth to look at previous images.<br /> The mode button was also tempermental only allowing changes every third or fourth attempt.<br /> When the settings were in aperture priority and the camera was moved to different lighting situations the settings stayed the same even the meter didn't react. Sorry for the "pear shape" guys English term. my grammar isn't the best Guys so Sorry for that.<br /> My luck with Nikon hasn't been the best so now unsure what road to take next.<br /> My dealings with Nikon haven't been what you would call successful found them quite arrogant thanks for the reply's.</p>

<p>This is more of a RANT than a question. Having had a D300 for over 12 mths what not a tiny bit of bother I decided to (upgrade) to the D700. I took my camera with me to my sons graduation. Bad move very bad move d700 24/70 Nikon lens SB600 flash all charged all sorted or so I thought.<br /> First few images OK not brilliant slightly over exposed and according to histogram as well checked the usual things -/+ compensation etc then it started to go pear shaped buttons wouldn't respond and I mean all buttons. The display was still on in LCD screen battery was still fully charged.<br /> Ok switch off and start again ok for a few shots then same again. The day was sunny no rain so no water involved and my cameras get better looked after than the wife (or so she says)<br /> OK switch off lens off and back on and again OK for a few images then same again! but here is the best bit this is my second D700 to do this and this happened to a friend of mine with his own lenses so not a problem with the lens.<br /> So the time has come to say good bye. I would like to say this was a happy relationship but can no longer trust the camera.</p>

<p>Hi to all just a quick question does the Canon 70-200 2.8 is suffer from the same problems that the Nikon 70-200 vr lens suffers from ie soft at the edges and vigneting on a full frame camera Thanks</p>

<p>I was the proud owner of a D300 until I "upgraded" to the D700. Although the camera is better at high iso I prefer the D300 The extra detail that you can get from the D300 to me is worth more than the high ISO so it depends what you want to shoot.<br>

I will be waiting to see what comes out when the D300 is replaced.</p>

<p>Thanks Guys it,s been a big help</p>

<p>Hi just a quick question! I own a D700 and want a Nikon flash. I was looking at the SB600 but when I see it advertised it doesnt mention it is compatable with my camera. It shows it For the Nikon D50, D70, D70s, D100, D200, D2H, D2X and D1X SLR is this true and do I need to go for the SB900 many Thanks.</p>

<p>Ok Rick Thanks I only asked! Calm down</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies guys. Elliot asked is there something i,m dissatisfied with on the Nikon? no not really I maybe should of read more about both systems. I only have the 24-70 2.8 lens at the moment and with the price of lenses I could get a good price for both bits of kit.<br>

So as you can see before I go and give the Bank manager a nervous breakdown to buy more gear I have to be sure I am going in the right direction regards the system.</p>

<p>Ok Guys Thanks for the valid points all of which will be taken note of Thanks again.</p>

<p>Lamb to the slaughter. Here goes just a quick question? Has anyone in this forum gone from nikon d700 to canon 5dmk2?<br>

I know the question has probably been done to death but the ability to use hd video at times would be of huge help. I wouldnt be changing for the pixel advantage but changing systems is scary Thanks</p>

Hi just a quick question i have been using Drop shadow in cs3 for a while now

and all ok. Went to use it today and it wont show on the image the preview

button is checked and it shows the effect in the preview window just not on the

image being worked on .Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Big thanks to you all think Charles has hit it on the head (14 bit) I changed my raw setting back to 12 bit and seems ok Big thanks to you all and Charles.

Hi found the exposure delay mode and all switched off looks like it,s going back again my second d300 body must be really unlucky Thanks.

Hi the exposure compensation was fine Thanks but what is the exposure delay?

Yes i have all up to date. Havent heard of this before seems like the display and shutter speed are out of sink.
