D3 features housed in a D300 body - perfect combination 
After endless speculation, Nikon has finally released the official specs of their latest digital SLR, the D700.

It’s a 12.1-megapixel camera with a near full-frame FX CMOS sensor that’s similar to its heftier sibling, the D3. It likewise features live view via its 3-inch display, 51-point AF with 3D tracking, scene recognition, four-speed active dust reduction, GPS, HDMI out and a bunch of other goodies. Check out the complete specs below or download the brochure.

DP Review already has a preview of this soon-to-be-released monster, and based on what we’ve seen so far, this is shaping out to be the budget-friendly version of the D3 housed in the body of a D300. Inheriting most of the great features found in its higher-end brother, the D700 is a full-featured mid-range SLR that you should definitely watch out for.

It’ll cost $ 2999 (body only) once it hits stores later this month in the US.

ain’t this the same model that was debunked in engadget.com’s website? it was a photoshopped D300 made to look like a “new model” D700.

That was before Nikon official announced the release of the D700. It actually looks a lot like the D300 with minor differences in the physical aspect, but feature-wise, it’s more like the D3. Click the link in the article to read the official announcement by Nikon.
