After several months of decision making, I finally got the Nikon D700 with the 24-70 F2.8 lens. So far so good, it really shines in low light (as expected and seen on the web) and it is a lot better than my old Canon 350D (the only comparison I can make with) in most of the ways. The only downsides I can think of are price and weight. I also have some mixed opinions about automatic white balance in incandescent light which is more yellowish on Nikon and more on the red side on Canon and about JPG output which is too punchy trimming shadows and highlights (but the RAW files have full of details).

I took again a picture of the Christmas tree at the Trump Tower as the picture in the previous post and also an ISO 2500 picture inside St. Patrick’s cathedral.
