With Nikon’s recent D700 announcement, a lot of people are looking for a quick comparison between the cameras.  When comparing the Nikon D700 vs the D300, there are a few quick features that will be the main weighing factors.  First, the D700 is a full frame and the D300 has the 1.5x crop.  This will play a somewhat large role in the use of lenses.  Most people are saying that the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens does not work well on the full frame cameras but it should function fine on the D300.  Nikon’s new wide 14-24mm f/2.8 lens should work great on the D700.  The new MB-D10 vertical battery grip will work on both cameras so if you already bought a D300 and MB-D10, it will also work on the D700. 

The D700 will perform much like the D3 (when using the MB-D10).  The D700 will offer much better quality in terms of color, white balance, high ISO performance, The shots from the D700 that I have seen are far superior to those produced by my Nikon D300. Nikon has a bunch of photos up from the D700 on the Nikon USA website. The D700 and D300 should have the same LCD screen which is very sharp, especially in comparison to the D2x.
