Nikon d7000 Or d300s

[kundalini]

Just edited with my answer.

Noted. There is no 'hating' going on. But in the same breath, it should be noted that there are differences between the camera bodies, I think you're right where certain individuals subscribe to one side of the equation and a certain others side are just as adamant on their stance, Here we are, the sound track from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly plays in my head. End of, your D7000 is a good camera. I'm glad you are happy with it. Would I enjoy it? Probably not so much. That is no indication of your fondness of the camera, it's just me.

I agree... and my earlier comment wasn't directed at you. I just see a lot of people with pro bodies talking down on the D7000 like it's nothing - that couldn't be farther from the truth. The D7000 is the first crop body I've ever read about that had D700 owners jumping ship to make the switch. And yes, I've read 3 separate occasions of this happening so far not even looking for it.

Ergonomically going from the D300s to the D7000 was a little tough, but the benefits outweighed the short adjustment curve in the long run (for me and my photography).

Yup, I was actually browsing craigslist the other day for my area, and there was an ad for someone who wanted to do a straight up trade with his D700 for a D7000

The majority of people that have random negative comments about the D7000 are pro body owners because most of them are pissed at what the D7000 is capable of for a fraction of what they paid.

That is an utterly ludicrous statement.

im between a d700 and a d7000 for sports. im currently doing hockey and i have been told to shoot at 4000 ISO to get good images shooting though the glass. just wondering what camera is better at that iso level and higher. i like the d700 because it is full frame but id hate to spend all that money then a d800 comes out and the price drops. the d7000 was quoted by ken rockwell as the best image quality at any level for nikon.

Does the truth hurt, or are you still bitter about being wrong about the D7000 having all the AF controls on the body?

The d7000 has basicly the same iso performance as the d700. However, at iso4000 , the D700 is will keep details little bit more.

Personal opinion, i would buy the d7000 and dump all the leftover money on fast glass.

I did it and i will be looking to buy the d700 replacement when it comes out, d7000 will be an excelent second body, small and quick as fcuk.

Oh, hell no. My skin is thicker than yours.

And the button set up on the D7000 is still not the same as it is on a D300/D300s.

I find it amusing haha.. But wasn't this thread supposed to be a comparison between the 300s and 7000? Not dx -fx lol.

Get the D7000, so you can gain the satisfaction of being the only fool at a basketball game without OCF, while all the D300s owners try to figure out how your pics don't require flash!
