Anyone have a D7000?
Discussion
Doing some research for my mate's missus.
He uses a 450D at the moment, he mentioned the D7000 when i bought my D90 in October.
The missus was looking for ideas on what to get him for his 30th and I suggested that.
He has only the kit lense I think for the Canon so he won't have a lot of redundant glass.
Anyone using a D7000 on here?
Worth the extra over my D90?
Cheers

t lensesI think he fancies an upgrade to be honest.
He knows his way round a camera very well, he is a design director and is also therefore awesome with photoshop.
When I spoke to him last year he said he would relegate the canon to second slr to take on things like boat trips which he won't do now for fear of breaking his only high end camera

Going from that Canon to that Nikon is an interesting jump, friend ditched his D2something for a D7000 when it launched and has just sold his D300s as well as he thinks the D7000 is superior in sensor response for what he's doing (mix of portrait/actor headshots with the odd bit of video)

If he wants to keep the 450D, then an upgrade from the Canon range would at least keep all of the lenses and accessories that he acquires for the new body compatible. Also the general camera feel/menu structure will be more familiar when switching between the two bodies.
This. 60D, 7D or 5D mkII depending on what he photographs / money available.I have a D7000, picked it up two weeks ago so still coming to grips with it.
replaces the old D70 and is sooooooooo much better. the D70 would be like driving with flat tires. speed color clarity are all much better - but the biggest thing i have noticed so far is the ISO sensitivity. in the D70 i would be in the 200-400 range tops as it just got to noisy and grainy. with the 7000 it will easily go to 6400b with very little loss of performance. probably better performance actually as you can then use a quicker shutter speed meaning that the performance of the lense becomes less critical.
moving from a cannon - cant help with.

I use a D7000, had it since they were released last October.
I had a D40 before it so it was a huge step up for me.
As mentioned the low ISO performance is great, especially in low light conditions.
I believe the 1080 HD video function is very good, a few videos on YouTube of it, Im yet to use it though.

D7000 has the best crop sensor on the market at the moment, its a minor miracle and surpasses the 5D in abilities even though it gives up 2.5 times the surface area, how far we've come in a short time!
But its £900 or so on its own and IMO should be paired with a half decent lens to get the best out of it.
Certainly a step up over the 450D, but then so would a 60D be too. Or a 17-55f2.8IS!

Cheers gents.
I need to do some subtle digging on his OH's behalf over the next week or so, make sure the Manufacturer switch is still something he wants to do.
Can get the body plus 18-105 for the equivalent of 900 quid here, I'll probably buy him a 50 1.8 from me if she goes ahead with it.

I'm a Nikon user and think the D7000 is a great piece of kit but i would say that if he is going to be keeping his 450d, it would be daft not to get a Canon camera to replace it. The benefits of being able to share lenses, flashes, common controls etc are hard to ignore.
As above I certain he doesn't have any ext flashes and only the kit lense afaikGassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
