Nikon D90 or D7000... What's your suggestion

[tgeske]

I will soon be upgrading my Nikon D50 to a D90 or D7000, but can't decide. One thing is.. I am not interested in the video mode and was wondering if had other options. I have compared, but still undecided? Your suggestions or comments are welcome.. and much appreciated!

Thank you

D7000 is a very good camera, however if you intend to shoot raw make sure you have CS5. For some reason the files are not compatible with CS4. Im just throwing it out there.

Thank you I am really interested in the D7000 but the video option (on either one) is not a priority for me...

Same here. I got mine back in February, and I really haven't done any videos other than playing around with it. Just not my thing. But it's a good option to have if I ever need it.

...as in Photoshop Creative Suite 5.

Get the D7000 for sure, unless you just want to save a few hundred dollars on a great camera. I haven't used a D90 but I love my D7000. Some of the little differences are important to me. Like the strap rings attached to posts instead of the slotted bars on the D90 and older lesser cameras. I like the mode dial on the D7000 lacking all the choices of "scenes". I like the sub-mode dial for easy access to continuous mode and remote control mode. I really like the dual card slots too.

I don't intend to shoot raw..

That's too bad. You're not going to be using the imaging capabilities of your (soon to be) camera to the fullest. Unless you're just interested in taking snapshots, which wouldn't be real justification to buy a DSLR, IMO.

LOL, Ya'll be nice. In fairness, he said he didn't "intend" to shoot in raw. Some of us are still learning the basics. I'm sure it's like a slippery creek bank. You keep getting a closer and closer look until you just slip in.
