Yeah, but there's really no comparison between it and the II. The II just blows the I away.

Oh Permie, you know that Steven uses vivid mode, then sets saturation, vibrance, contrast, and clarity to 100, come on!

Nothing special, but here are a few test shots from my new D700.

It really looks like that. The Philippine Island has some of the best sunsets in the world

Nice stuff. Glad you are enjoying the D700!

since nikon does not seem to have a "L" denomination how do I know what is "Good" and what is not?

Great photos Stevie, love how big the sun looks, and the color in the sky in the other one.

AF-S lenses have fast and accurate AF. G series lenses great coatings. eg 24-70 F2.8 AF-S G is top notch.

If it costs more than $1500 USD it's good! Haha.

Actually, they do sort of have a designation, but it's not lettered for some reason. I figure they think the same way I do - don't need a special 'pro' designation, the pros will know what they need, and will use whatever lens gets the job done. That said, the lenses that would be considered equivalent to L lenses have a gold ring around the front of the barrel much like Canon's red ring. Take a look at the 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, 200-400, the big primes, etc. You'll see what I mean.
