  I'm a little perturbed, as I just this summer bought a D300. I love it, but would have been delighted to spend an extra thousand for full frame Nikon.

  Reviews praise the camera but not the kit lens. But do not recommend what lenses to buy instead. Experts reading this, please give us your recommendations! Thank you! Kari

  Kari, I am assuming money isn't a huge issue for you, so here are my lens recommendations:
  
  For ultra-wide angle, you can't go wrong with the excellent Nikon 14-24mm:

  And for telephoto, the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR has been flying off store shelves since for the past couple years:

  Best,

  I'm no expert, but I stumbled upon this page, that has everything you could ask about lenses for the D-700:

  Whatever you do, DO NOT get a DX lens for a D700. In DX mode, the D700 is effectively a 5MP camera because it only uses the middle of the image sensor, which means that it will perform worse than the bargain D40, which can do 6MP with a DX lens, and which you can get for about $500 with a decent lens. DX lenses are designed for the non-full-frame cameras that have smaller sensors. The D700 can use almost ANY non-DX Nikon lens for full frame shooting, including any of your favorite old manual or autofocus lenses. If you have an investment in decent non-DX camera lenses, you should definitely consider the D700 or the D3. KenRockwell.com suggests that you are better off spending the extra buck and going for the D3, but I've waited a VERY long time for an affordable full frame Nikon that can use my old lenses. The things that make the D3 superior to the D700 really aren't that important to me to justify spending even more. I've just been waiting for full frame affordability, and so I'll probably opt for the D700 with no lenses and just use my old lenses for a while and see how that goes.

  I would love a D700 but feel i need to wait a bit until the price comes down. mY d80 is great and i love using it in all situations.If the D700 comes down to around 2200 ill buy one in a flash.
