nikon d700 vs d7000

[gagey]

I have a d80 and a d90 but I really want to buy the d700 but since it is so much more expenisve I also like the d7000 but the problem I am having is I need a great wedding camera that has a really low noise. from what I am readin on reviews it seems like the d700 is a great wedding camera. But I also am reading the d7000 is suppose to be a good camera as well but I am wondering is the noise close to the d700? what is your opinion on both?

if money isnht an issue, get the d700. however for that kind of money i would look for a used D3.


but both the the d7000 and 700 are great iso performer and really close to each other.

the d7000 is close to handleing noise like the d700? I really need low noise for receptions. I can buy the d700 but if I go with the cheaper I can buy more lenses as well. I guess it depends on if I want the better camera or more and better lenses.

Also consider that the d700 is really close to being replaced by something else. its a great camera but i would wait to see whats the replacement looks like.

Test shows that they handle the noise pretty muich equal,

the only major difference was the d700s images are a little bit more sharp
at high iso settings but thats about it, there is plenty of reviews on google you might wanna check out before dumping 100s of dollard on a camera?

There's rather more to it than has been stated here. The D700 is a full-frame camera with the inherently better noise-handling capabilities of a larger sensor. As well, consider the build quality. Despite the improvements, the D7000 is still a consumer camera and not up to the rigors of profesional use. Remember, for the extra money you're getting a larger sensor, better high ISO performance, and superior build quality which includes a magnesium chasis instead of plastic, weather-sealing and better controls.

The D7000 is, by all accounts a great consumer body, but that's all it is.

Also consider that the d700 is really close to being replaced by something else. its a great camera but i would wait to see whats the replacement looks like.

Why? I've had my D700 for a couple of years now. I don't see any reason why it couldn't go on for several more. The technology isn't like dairy products and have a "best by date". Yeah, for sure the replacement will most likely be an improvement, but I won't upgrade. It's probably gonna be like my cars....... when the wheels fall off.

It is true that if the d700 is doing a really good job right now, why it wouldnt do it in 5 years?
but i would hate to dump 2400 $ on a camera and 2 months after the replacement comes at 2600$. thats why.

I do like the fact that d700 is a full frame and that I probley should go for the full frame and the larger sensor period is better but I am having a hard time spending $2700 when I also want 5-7 new lenses as well. I do think I want the d700 more I was just thinking if I bought the cheaper camera I could buy more lenses...but in reality I need a great wedding camera my camera is just not cutting it!

that is what I am afraid of as soon as I buy it the newer better will come out for the same price. the only problem with waiting is my first wedding for this year is in march and I really would like to get a better one before then instead of waiting.

I would wait for a D700 replacement b4 buying specially when we know a replacement is coming within a few months.

It would suck to spend 2400 on a new body just to have the replacement at 2500-2600 with way better and newer technology. After-all the D7000 is almost to the level of a D700 for a much cheaper price and a ton of people are considering and getting the cheaper D7000 over the D700

Rent one...

Another way to consider the release of a D700 replacement by Nikon, is that there will be more good, used D700's coming onto the used market.

In fact, there are good used and/or refurbished D700's on the market right now. Refurbished Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only) 25444B B&H Photo

Nikon D700 12.1MP FX-Format CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only) (check out the used ones listed).

Who's to say the replacement won't be $3000? I'm thinking August will be when it happens. It's all speculation. All I know is that my D700 and (even older) D300 still kick ass.

Yeah, I saw that Keith, just now. $2200 ain't too bad.

 

[gagey]

even if I wait I cant find anything what says when a new one will come out and I have 8 weddings already this year and am still getting more emails about more so I dont want to rent one when I really need one that is mine. I wish I new the exact realease date and how much soemthing was coming out.

Considering the MSRP price of a D7000 is roughly $200 more than a D90, I can't see the replacement for the D700 to be $3000+. I'm thinking the replacement will be around the same price as the D700 and maybe a little less considering the market these days.

With that being said 2200 for that is pretty decent.
