The problem here is I have no idea what the settings are, or what card is used. They don't say a word. I will assume that since you went finding other people's videos on YouTube that you don't actually have a D7000 to test with the settings I showed you in my video.

However if you want to see videos of the D7000's burst rate with no real information as to what the settings are, so be it! Check out:



at 8:06 or so you can clearly hear WAY more than 18 frames at 6fps.

There's no problem about third party videos and reviews, at least you can be sure of nothing's biased? I can clearly hear those music to your ears :mrgreen:

D7000 uses the world's first 2,016 segment RGB meter. The 7D uses a 63 zone system with color measurement (probably a B&W meter with luminance).

Its dual layer, 63 zone system, pretty sure its not B&W. The auto focus system is tied into the metering system as well. Even if you only use 1 auto focus point, all of the actual points are always active and relay information to the metering system on whats in focus, and what isn't. The metering system is able to better identify the subject and how much of the frame it takes up etc...

All Canon meters are B&W meters. None of their camera's have color meters, at least to my knowledge. I read this somewhere, but I don't remember where. I wanna say it was in the D7000 review on dpreview

This is completely false.

I think both cameras have their ups and downs; personally I would go with a Nikon just because I like the way it fits in my hand, menu setup, layout of the body and lets not forget the lens collection.
What good is a Cannon D7 if I have 4k+ invested into Nikkor lens and vice-versa?

The common denominator is they both take awesome photos, just depends on the hand taking the photos for the most part.

Now you're talkin'

I chose the D7000 over the 7D a few months ago. Since everything was pretty close I chose the D7000 because I really liked the way it fit in my hand and how the buttons were set up. With the 7D I felt like I had to constantly take the camera away from my face to see what buttons I was pushing. The D7000 just seemed more ergonomic to me. I really think it's personal preferance when it comes down to it between the two.

I went with the D7000 as well. It's hard to explain but it just "feels right" in my hand when shooting. I personally don't think you can go wrong with either, but you have to remember that you're locking yourself into that brand of lenses in the future in case you have access to older lenses for sale, etc.

If canon added the noise handling like Nikons, I would deffo go canon.

I am a canon man but the noise is a problem!
However, I have developed my own method (which is quite reliable for noise reduction so, it isn't too much of a problem for me now .)
to get rid of noise.

but i say nikon.

This is entirely on personal preference.


What will you choose between the two, with a good ergonomics but a not so good quality of features and results
or a not so good ergonomics with a good features and results?

You own 450D, hmmmm...
So, you're saying that between the two giant manufacturers there is a modest difference with the noise in low light still images?:scratch:

Fortunately, I personally got both with the D7000, excellent ergonomics for me, and great quality of features and results.

But, to answer your question, ergonomics is the top priority because regardless of how good a camera is, if it is a pain in the rear to use, I won't use it, regardless of results. If all I was ever concerned with was quality I would always be shooting large format film (except sports of course), but my large format stuff only comes out to play in commercial and fine art(LOL) work.

It's good to hear you got it both with D7000 xD

Personally, it should be balanced.
So you earn a living from it.
Will you post some of your work if you wouldn't mind.

OP: YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH EITHER CAMERA. THERE'S A LOT OF INACCURATE INFORMATION IN THIS THREAD. JUST GET THE CAMERA YOU ARE LEANING TOWARDS, WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THE 7D.

Anyone who's trying to make you buy a particular brand over another is really just showing brand loyalty and is unable to look at it from a 3rd person perspective.

:thumbup:
lmfao I guess you're correct. I realized people on here intend to just base their perspective, the proper or accurate point of view or the ability to see it is kinda blurred and biased to the brand they've been into.
Better judgement has been clouded.
