Ok postie knocked on my Door this morning at 07-20 with my new D700 plus 50mm f1.4 and a guide book, my 24-70 will not be here until tomorrow (please please plese).
On taking the body out of the box the first thing that struck me was that it looked and feels like my D300s, there is a tiny size difference when sat next to each other.
Menus seem much the same with obviously a few extra tweaks added and a few missing like video (booo full frame video would be so cool)
So for me having already been use to a Nikon lay out since i moved from Canon in 2009 it is not so much of a culture shock as it was then.
To be honest i still look at all these tweaks in the menus and wonder what is best for my shooting styles, later i will start building up my shooting banks and save them all, then do a complete reset and set up some more with different settings and try and work out over time which suit me best and start to tweak each one individually on a few test shots.
The 50 f1.4 has found itself being pointed toward many objects around the house as just typically the weather here in sunny Devon is dreadful.
The dog has run upstairs to hide as he knows what will happen once a camera is in my hands and before me sits 416 pages of a guide book to the D700 which will give me endless hours of confusion over the next 4 weeks by which time i will have given up and just stuck to what i think is right.
Ok off to play some more and after checking my emails to see if i have a tracking number for the 24-70 so at least i know it will be here tomorrow.
