Nikon D700

Best Price: $3,075.00

from "Lou", www1.wolfcamera.com
i am retired and do a lot of traveling - it is great for just about any possibility - indoors, the high iso works wonders with very little noise, don't need a flash and it has great depth of field.
from "MarkNC", www1.wolfcamera.com
when you shoot a decently high isos but add the d700's fill-flash you get photos that were previously impossible.
from "_mogi", www1.wolfcamera.com
high iso performance is excellent.

plus the high iso result should have any snap shooter, amateur and professionals sold.

on the low side, it's bit heavy (expected), high iso isn't as good as d700 ;).
from www.amazon.com
now i can take pictures in very low light conditions that would have been impossible with my d70 because of the high noise inherent to a high iso.

it is true that this camera isn't the best at high iso pics (they are noisy), so you need to figure a way around them.

the frame rate and high iso on it is phenomenal.

however, if you stay away from over-sharpening at high iso's, a small amount of software noise reduction should take care of most problems.
