Today I made a trip to the St. Louis Art Museum to give my new Nikon D700 a workout. I wanted to revisit some shots I made with a Nikon D100 to get a feel for differences in handling and image quality. My first stop was to see "Artemis Running". With half the exhibit rooms emptied out, I'm pleased that Artemis is still on display, although in a dark corner.Tech details: Nikon D700, 50mm f/1.8D, ISO 1600, f/2.0 @ 1/500s, 14-bit RAW. I use auto white balance and auto exposure because I usually find Nikon's approach to be naturalistic and pleasing. In this case, however, I used Lightroom 2 to set WB to tungsten and take the exposure down -1.0. Reviews I've been reading agree that the D700 tends to over expsose, but it is too early to tell for me.
The image is nearly noise free, even at the pixel level. The D700 is shaping up to be my favorite camera yet.

These shots with your new camera are just amazing! This one especially - so fluid.
