Nikon sucks I am a purist

What do you think the advertising campaign of I am a purist for the full frame Nikon D700.

Do you think it is something referring to just the fact that it has a 35mm sensor, or is it something that it is trying to advertise itself and gloat about the fact that it does not have any video function, unlike the D300s, D7000, D3s, D90, D5000, D3100 and then thats just the nikon camp.

what do you think? leave your comments below



However the best advert ever for the nikon d700 is in the video after the break

    Possibly, but surely that'd seem like they're advertising a flaw in their camera? Maybe you're reading too deep into it and it's merely the FX sensor? Either way it's not a particularly good slogan anyhow.

    I agree. They are taking the fact that it purely takes photos but not video and spinning its lack of this feature as a virtue.
    Besides which this blitz on advertising 2-3 year old cameras must surely be to make room on the shelf for the d4 and the d800. Both of which are rumoured to be out next year. And undoubtably both will have video. D700 still rocks though.

    Honestly, Id say its a terrible advertisement. It probably does have something to do with it having a 35mm sensor and no video, such as with the 'purist' film users. I dont like it. I think its a given now-a-days that if youre going to buy a top-of-the-line digital camera from either Nikon or Canon that it is a given that it will have video, and before they find out otherwise, it is presumed by the comsumer that the camera does have this function. As wonderful as the D700 is, I passed it up because of the lack of video function. I RARELY ever use video on my camera..ever. But I think it is going to blow up huge in the coming years and I dont want to fall through the cracks. I upgraded from my D90 to a D300s and will get the D700s/800/whatever Nikon comes up with that has video when I choose to upgrade next as its bound to have video. Im not shooting down the D700 by any means. Its an amazing camera and Id love to have it, but I cannot financially justify having two bodies of this caliber.

    That being said, the video with film vs digital is fantastic. Very interesting.
