The D90 Live View focuses so slowly that it is almost unusable. I was keenly looking forward to Live View shooting (shooting by looking at the LCD screen, rather than through the viewfinder, like point-and-shoots).

#NIKON D7000 PRICE IN 2010 ISO#
The highest ISO setting can be pushed to 256,000, but please don’t shoot at this ISO! The image processor is also faster (Expeed 2) so the frame-to-frame shooting time is further reduced. This is a major technical improvement for shooting in quiet locations without drawing attention to yourself. The shutter lag is so non-existent that it makes a D90 shutter release seem slow! The shutter noise is very muted, sounding more electronic than the mechanical ‘click-clack’ of the D90 or D300s. This is a major difference from both the D90 and the D300s! It feels much smoother. But since the camera is a tad heavier, the balance is more shifted towards your hands, which is good. The D7000 seemed to be a little less than that (98%?) but very good.

The D300s has a better one, which gives 100% coverage. The secondary LCD on top is slightly larger than the D90, and looks exactly the the D300s The buttons on the right of the LCD are differently laid out. The main LCD size is the same as the D90/ D300s (all brilliantly sharp).
#NIKON D7000 PRICE IN 2010 PLUS#
A definite plus when changing settings quickly. I found the controls to be more intuitive on the D90, but you need to press fewer button combinations on the D7000 to adjust a setting. The D90 and below make you choose this using the LCD, which is a bit cumbersome at times. I like this unification of dials, and found it easier to use than the D300’s dial. It also has a lower wheel that lets you select your shooting modes (single, multiple frames/sec, auto, remote etc). Apart from the regular options, the mode control dial on the left has 2 customizable, user selectable modes (U1, U2, a good feature) and a Scene mode (if you have to use a Scene mode, you shouldn’t buy this camera. The buttons on the left are bigger than the D90 (same buttons, though), and look like the D300s. It looks more like the D300s, and matches it in overall handling. It is somewhere between the D90 and D300s. The weight to me did not seem to be much heavier. It is very similar to the D90, only slightly chunkier. D3100 – Sensor similar to D5000, very small and compact for a dSLR.D5000 – Sensor mostly identical as D90, far simpler menus and controls (need to dive in more into the menus to change camera settings, compared to the D90 and above), kit lens lacking in the tele region (but still tack sharp) at 18-55mm.D90 – Sensor similar to the D300, simpler controls, menus, no weather sealing, 11 point autofocus points, same lens as D7000 (18-105mm).D7000 – Newly designed DX sensor, with D300s menus, controls, weather sealing, magnesium alloy construction, 39 autofocus points and lesser zoom lens range for the kit (18-105mm).D300s – Smaller sensor (DX), with D700 menus and controls, in a lighter body, 51 autofocus points, and a long range kit lens (18-200mm).
#NIKON D7000 PRICE IN 2010 PORTABLE#
D700 – Full-frame, more portable than the D3, with a popup flash, same D3 image sensor (competes handily with the Canon 5D MkII).D3s – The latest version of the D3 with better ISO (notice the lack of higher megapixels than D3x), full-frame.D3x – An improved version of their baddest camera, the D3 with higher megapixels and max ISO, full-frame.The Nikon dSLR lineup (with the new D7000) stands somewhat like this right now: Most of their R&D goes into their top-of-the-line dSLR, a new version of which is released every 3-4 years, and a lot of its key elements gets incorporated as is into their cheaper models in the intervening years. Here is what I love about the Nikon philosophy of making cameras. This camera is everything that we were expecting, and then some! I will keep comparing it between the two in the review. This camera hits the sweet spot between the D90 and D300s (actually comes closer to the D300s in terms of features). I didn’t get a chance to stick a SD card and analyze the pictures (yet!), so my review will mostly be about handling, ergonomics, menus etc. I handled the display Nikon D7000 (with a German menu nonetheless!) at B&H today. You can see more shots of the camera and its parts at the Imaging Resource site here. How does it stack up against the competition, and should current Nikon owners look to upgrade? I finally got a chance to finally play with Nikon’s latest at B&H. The most awaited Nikon dSLR of the year is finally in stores.
