The D700 is a fantastic camera. It retains its value because it is built very well, has an outstanding processor , and the images ae super. I have one and also a D810, which I bought at a great price. I use the D700 as a backup body ( never had to use it as such) and often keep my 400 mm lens on the D810, and a shorter lens on the D700. It is quicker to use a different ready body than switch lenses. Images appear the same.

The way the D700 plays with manual focus lenses is lovely, the D700 is a classic, a well regarded well designed terrific and affordable FF camera, I love mine, more than my D7100.

I heard from the angry photographer on I tube that pickels don't matter and a D700 has great reviews pixels don't matter the guy knows what he is talking about check out his web site and let me know what you think.
I would look elsewhere for more than ONE opinion than the AP. I would also suggest you look at his body of work.

So you're giving up a nearly five year newer (2013) 24MP camera to get a nearly five year older (2008) 12MP camera. Hmmmm..... good luck with that!
There are other reasons you might want to reconsider that change....

Because I was seeing a lot of great reviews on u tube , even though it is an old camera and 12meg. The build quality is great and the pic are really nice coming out of this camera, and at the time it was new it sold for over 3,000 dollars and I don't plan to make a print over a 16x20 print.It may be an old camera but the build quality is a lot better than the new cameras they sell today, just don''t have all the bells & whistles, but I don't need all of that, this camera is built like a rock that's why this camera is still around with great reviews, I haven't heard any thing bad about this camera from the people who have them, the camera is a classic, that is why I was thinking of owning one, not my opinion it is a fact, there is a lot of people that are hung up on the newest gear out ,I am not that type of guy, I guess I am an oldie but goodie. I just want to thank all the hogers out there for all there opinions

. I think I would just but one outright, then have two cameras.....I have old cameras, but they are not my main camera. I want the pixels, so I can print bigger if I want. Camera today may not be made of steel, but they are still quality of taken care of and will last for a loooong time. I even still have film cameras.I have my grandson a minolta maximum 5d I used to use, and still wish I had. It took great photos for a 5 mp camera. It made good vacation photos. I still view some of them. They look about as good on a monitor as 24 mp camera, but will not print as large. It was a great camera in it's time. But technology has improved photography way above it. My grandson loves it for what he does.
What ever makes your car go, Keep shooting and having fun.

The D700 was an excellent camera. I don’t think anyone was discouraging going to FF, and if you want to add a FF Nikon or move to one (especially since you have FF lenses), then that’s a fine idea, but if it means giving up your D7100 to go to an older, lower resolution and DR camera that will be difficult to support, then maybe not a great decision. On the other hand if you’re going that direction, maybe instead consider a used D750 or D810 - substantially higher performance and similar in price. I also wouldn’t get too hung up on the shutter count unless the camera has had obviously rough treatment or it’s really high. These cameras are very solid. As an example, I sold my Canon 5D3 with 258,000 clicks, but it was in near mint condition and working perfectly.
