Looks like a solid new prosumer cam, anyone have time with one. I think its time to upgrade my D50 & this is on my list. Could just save some cake and get the D90.
How much camera gear are you looking to shuttle around? Need the pack to hold a hydration bladder as well?Jumped the gun, due out next month. Def the upgrade camera i am do for. On a side note anyon have any idea about a good pack to carry a camera and ride?
Agreed.........I'm trying to talk "Santa Claus" into getting me one this year.......D300s. That is all!
You know I like giving you crap. The size is really appealing. I have always run batt/vert grips on all of my cameras, one reason is due to the size of most of the DSLR's out there. The D300s was a small camera without the grip.I made a good purchase for my needs. Its quick as hell. The size is nice. Bigger than my last camera D50. Fit my budget. I am a hobbyist.
Magnesium is real. Plus if you let it sit in salt water, it will dissolve!!!You can get the battery on the bottom for the 7000. Its a good size and weight. just a bit bigger and heavier than my 50 which i like the size of. I hated all those d440 d60 d90 plastic body ****. This is mag and sealed. its serious.
I have quite a bit of time on my D7000 now. Every time I pick it up I love it more and more. The ISO was one of the big reasons why I picked it up. If I pushed my D80 past ISO800 I saw noise. I have been shooting at ISO2000 and still see no noise.I would love to here more about the D7000 from those of you that have some time on em now.
Looking to step up from my D70s. It's a fantastic camera for it's age but I have been wanting better high ISO performance.
Thanks, that helps. Didn't realize it went to 6 fps as well. Bonus.I have quite a bit of time on my D7000 now. Every time I pick it up I love it more and more. The ISO was one of the big reasons why I picked it up. If I pushed my D80 past ISO800 I saw noise. I have been shooting at ISO2000 and still see no noise.
But ridemonkey is the only source of reliable information on the internet. Get real brah.Jason, i'm not sure if you know Rev Aaron from Return To The Pit (he was down @ MDF again), but he got a D7000 a few weeks ago and has been shooting Nikon for a while now (he's probably got over 300K actuations on his D3). give him a shout about it.
Is it a firmware issue?Ok for the bad news. I have to send my D7k back to Nikon, when I shut the power off the LCD screen stay on for another 30 seconds then shuts off. Nikon has had a few instances of this and has to be seen.
i want either this or the sigma 8-16....I also got a Tokina 11-16 2.8 recently thats just awesome.
That's what she said.I'd be interested in adding a little more meat to the grip area.

I have an ancient manual focus 50mm f/1.8 and that has been my one saving throw with the D70s in low light. ...
The magic setup I'm looking at now would be something like the D7000, a new 50mm f/1.8 AF-S (or maybe the f/1.4)
my wife just picked up a D7000 today. She wants to get into amateur photography and wants something to grow into. I'm just hoping she'll let me take it out to shoot some mtbing...Trigger on the D7k pulled. (plus a battery grip and dual 16GB cards) Should have it in about a week.
Other day I also picked up one of the new AF-S 50mm f/1.8 -
Amazing lens for $200
I love the 50. I agree it would not be the "perfect" walk-around lens for most though but I like how it's just WYSIWYG.I'd get the 35 f1.8G AFS, IMO 50mm on a DX sensor is pretty useless as a "walk around" lens. I like the 35, and usually put it on the wifes D40x when I want a light simple set up to carry around.
Got the camera/grip in yesterday.H8R, you'll have to let me know how the battery grip works out. I find that most cameras, especially with a longer lens like my 80-200 tend to get a little uncomfortable with the shorter bodies. I'd be interested in adding a little more meat to the grip area.
