Review of the Nikon D7000

[David Dvir]

A very short while ago, we got our first D7000 from Nikon. I'm pretty impressed with this thing for the most part and think it's a great new addition to the Nikon family. We supplied a review here. We also branched off and discussed a bit about some of the new features it carries like video so forgive me for presenting some of you fellow photogs with a bit of material on video - I sincerely apologize

Can you spare one of those D3 or D3s bodies, doesn't matter which one, I'm not picky.

thanks for sharing.

How is it in higher ISOs with regards to noise?

 

[Marrokina]

Thanks for sharing. I would buy one of those, but it's out of my price range

Awesome! That was one of the best reviews on the d7000 I've seen.

 

[David Dvir]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I intended on giving as good a demonstration/review of the body as possible

Awesome! That was one of the best reviews on the d7000 I've seen.

Thanks a lot, that's really great to hear, we did try and trump some of the other ones we saw

NICE!

Well, I didn't think posting a photo into a video that is MUCH lower resolution would be a fair assessment, so that's why we didn't include any images. I did also create a video ISO test that can be seen here:
There's also a long version which has every third increment in ISO instead of just stops. This however is not still, all I can say is that as far as stills go, I would consider up to ISO 4000 relatively useable and 6400 is really not bad at all. You can search for a stills comparison online in a heartbeat to get 100% crops of images and see for yourself but this video is, in my opinion, a fair comparison to what you can expect at around 100% crops.

SO 4000 relatively useable and 6400 is really not bad at all

Damn. now I want it and feel that my d300s ain't good enough Amazing though that only few yrs ago I was at ASA 160 and having wonderful time with that - now 1600 isn't good enough
I guess I'll wait for d700 update
Thanks for your feedback

[Ejazzle]

great review. I can't wait to add this bad boy to my arsenal

I think one of the problems I have seen/heard in the video mode in someone's else's demo, is that you can hear the audio with the on-board mic, of the lens searching for the correct focus. I find hearing this servo very annoying.
