It is rare to find a full frame DSLR nowadays – almost as if they just stopped making them altogether. For the uninitiated a full-frame digital SLR is a digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) fitted with an image sensor that is the same size as a 35 mm (36×24 mm) film frame. When one uses wide angle zoom lenses with such cameras, they retain the original focal range that the lens offers. Its many advantages have been experienced by lensmen who swear by what they invest in. Nikon D700 is, in fact, the last small format full-frame DSLR that one Nikon came up with in 2008. This 12.1mp full frame camera is every professional lensman’s delight as well as must have.
