D7000 Discussion Thread III
- Thread starter PaulKami
- Start date
Read my posts properly. :thumbsd: I am neutral. I did comment good and bad about d7000 and I am still in the trouble of bad qc d7000 and waiting for snother exchange. If the exchange is a good set, I will praise it like no tomorrow here...
I can't earn anything by posting badly here but will just harm my d7000 second hand value if I decided to sell. :dunno:
And u are free to delete my posts anytime if u feel sore eyes.

Unless Nikon production line did a 100% QC check on every single camera produced, there is a possibility that there maybe one that have some defects and have gone through the production line. However, the accepted failure rate (making a guess here) maybe 1 out of 10,000 is the general practice of even an established production line. ziggurat is just plain unlucky here. This is why we always have a warranty to mitigate the risk the consumer has. Only till when we truly "run in" the camera that we know for sure. I have a similar experience with my samsung tv. It spoilt on the second day of using it. Got it replaced with a new set and it has been working fine for 4 years.
Having said this, getting a camera with defects is by no means it is a lousy camera. It is just plain unlucky. Just get it replaced.
edit. didn't know it happens to so many cameras. this is either a production or design issue which hopefully they will be able to solve it quickly.

For all D7000 owners who use the battery grip, there is a rubber cover at the bottom which needed to be removed when using the grip. It is quite scary as I almost lost it.... I wonder will it get loose if I take inter-change the usage of grip and without... quite scary... can I get a replacement if I lose it?

I'm sure you can find a replacement from our friendly Nikon Service Centre, or even some of the reputable camera stores.

Ic. Just do it. Watever u can do.
Funny.
Isnt it none of those guys matter who is not currently involved in the fire of d7k issues?
Wat is the need for those unrelated people to cough and laugh on so call early adopter?
Think properly. Dun think my comments doesn't make sense. Unless u are telling people that this forum is only for positive and "considerate" consumer.
If u want to calm down people who complaint, calm down using constructive and right way.
Wat is the point by telling people who already in fire by
"heh, u are early adopter, you should know well u are going to face these,haha"
"heh, every Dslr is the same, hot pixel will be there, go and do pixel remapping"
"heh, why are u using that setting, u can avoid the bad pixel by another way."
"heh, my d700 also got, why not a lower end d7000?"
And how many of these people go and consider this?
"Omg, Nikon service center is so hard to drop by, I got to send my brand new camera for remapping?"
"Omg, pixel remapping can't solve the issue"
"Omg, many more random problem with d7k"
"Omg, not only this forum is talking about these"
"Omg, some d7k buyer exchanged up to 7 sets of d7k but all with defects"
One clear issue for Singapore users is our refund policy is not clear. And consumer awareness is low.
And most importantly, how many of those guys owned d7k and ask other to tolerate with the issue? Or silent the issue?
Think about it.
When your house is not on fire. U will not feel it.
For potential buyer, judge and consider base on overall including other forum. Not only cs. Honest comments sore. I buy d7k, it is sore for me to complaint and comment too.:dunno:

Generally, I won't actually.
I got the problem resolved (by itself, weird in a way), and currently enjoy using it to take various stuffs around. You can see that I also part of the peeps here who kp alot about D7000 initially.
I don't think silencing people is a solution here. True, the ranting is getting louder and louder, and it may come from certain people here. But then, silencing them would only cause more harm than good. :nono: Because, customer rights should be there.
But ranting it in an unreasonable way does not good either. In what way is it unreasonable? Our friend here, ziggurat, has his set changed time after time. But the problem still there. In the end, he had no choice but to request for a refund from one of the dealers (I guess he gets the refund already?). He made the point here on his pov, that's fair. But I won't find the repeated emphasis on this issue fair to Nikon or any other owners who currently own a D7k. Most of us sympathize your bad experience with Nikon, but not to the extend of boycotting them.
'The flame will burn out eventually, and fanning it will only promotes burning. It'll not result in anything other than getting your hand burnt, that's all. ' :sweat:
Last but not least, there's being enough negative comments here. Though not recommended, but in my opinion, they don't qualify as a 'deletable' post. As a user myself, I don't really find myself 'discussing' anything regarding D7000 in this thread other than talking about the problems.
Why not separate the threads into 2?
1) D7000 User group (for general discussion and query)
2) 'D7000 Discussion on problems/solutions' or 'D7000 Troubleshooting'
etc?
I think the current hot topic in this forum is getting out of focus. While it is good to
Hey Bros, I am not interested to follow who win or lose in the current dispute with Nikon or their dealers. What I am interested to know is where to buy good price 8GB Class 6 SD Card, Battery and Battery Grip for D7K
Please help as I am on tight budget to own D7K. I am still sourcing for a good price. Please advice.
Bros, may I suggest that to stop this hot dispute with Nikon from commanding the main attention in this forum, let not reply to such postings. And it will die a natural death.
It is good to post any grievances but do it in a constructive ways that benefit CS users

These comments by other users are just a matter of facts and reasonable. Which you refuses to accept, perhaps the only constructive comment would be for you is to dump digital camera and go get a film camera and all hot pixel will go away (no remapping and no need to use the correct setting).
It just like a complaint I heard from one guy to say that he got a VR lens and yet there are lens shake problem when he shoots (with a tele lens without a tripod) at very low shutter speed - the VR don't work.
Issues can be discuss within reasonable limits. But in your case, you just only want to blow out an issue in an unreasonable manner, making your intention questionable.
Look at these comments by you
"And how many of these people go and consider this?
"Omg, Nikon service center is so hard to drop by, I got to send my brand new camera for remapping?"
"Omg, pixel remapping can't solve the issue"
"Omg, many more random problem with d7k"
"Omg, not only this forum is talking about these"
"Omg, some d7k buyer exchanged up to 7 sets of d7k but all with defects"
are these not your own comments but you are just trying to put it as if it is a lot of ppl comments here. eg "Exchange up to 7 sets of d7k in Singapore ? " - a figment of your imagination ? to try to stir sentiment to advance your own cause?
As I say rant and complaint is okay here, if it is reasonable. But when it looks like CS is being used as a platform to rally support and advance your personal agenda then it will not be tolerated.

Jackychua, I am staying in a house that has "caught" fire also... but to me, it is just a small fire and I believe there is a renovation company named "Nikon" will fix my house after this small fire.... Mods are not telling you to shut up and not to voice out if there is a problem with Nikon problem but I think you have voiced out more than enough and hot pixel is a known issue and no point talking about it over and over and over....:embrass:
Since the Dealers have refunded or exchanged units that have caught "fire"... I think it is about time to stop talking about the fire... everyone knows about the fire and what do you want Nikon and those poor dealers do???
I am a proud OWNER of D7000 and I think it is a GREAT camera... nothing is perfect... minor flaws make things unique.... cheers!

My coll bought the D7000 this evening at HN-Funan. The SA told him that they received fresh shipment this afternoon.
He bought it without testing as they didnt allow it and there was no demo set. I did a cap-test shooting stills and videos. The video playback had 4 dead-pixels ie both videos had 4 dead pixels on same position - 2green, 1 blue and 1 red.
The still shots when slightly enlarged had hundreds of hot pixels but surprisingly the 4 dead pixels did not appear. When shooting images, IQ playback on PC was normal and :thumbsup:
Settings at M, ISO1600 f3.5 using kit lens. NR was OFF. Did not test with NR=ON
Hope can replace......

seems the DPR forumers are furious it didnt get the Gold award :bsmilie:
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1034&thread=37062182&page=1
do you guys think it deserve Gold?
Do u think asking people to witch to film is a valid and reasonable comment?
I didn't say the person who exchange up to 7 sets is in Sg, don't be lazy to stay on a single forum. Google then u will see a lot.
For me, 4 tested set, all bad. Not so hard to exchange or test more, but it is just a waste of time to do it right now Coz the percentage is too high.
About my 4 tested set, let me explain before u question without really understand the issue.
I tested 2 sets at iPhoto, 1 with very obvious 4 and more hot pixels all over the place. So I got no choice to pick away another set with less obvious hot pixels Coz I already sold my d90 and I got an upcoming appoinmrnt.
After this, I went NSC for pixel remapping but failed to resolve the issue.
I return to NSC few days later to get an exchange from sitex shipment few days later. Sadly, it got the same issue that pixel remapping can't help.
Thus after discussing with NSC, I decided to take away the set while waiting for second batch shipment.
So, altogether, 4 sets is bad with me.
2 sets that spend some time on my hand facing the following issue:
1) hot pixel
2) over sensitive lens release button which causes d7k unable to autofocus or switch autofocus mode.
I agree with paulkami, good idea to split the thread to d7000 issues and discussion thread.
Not just trying to silence the noise that sore u which can't help at all. And making me just think that you are Nikon employer or Nikon fan boy who can't accept Nikon defect facts.
Bro JackyChua,
I guess most of us here understand your frustrations and disappointment on the D7000 issues.
Rest assured, Nikon has heard the grumblings & felt the rumblings worldwide. Am sure they are now working hard on delivering the solutions asap. Just be patient.
As for NSC service, it depends on the service culture and awareness of the individual.
I am sure not all NSC staff are like those you had encountered. However, just move on ba.
My coll who bought the D7K last nite had a mass of hot pixels when put on cap-test but normal shooting was fine. I'm no expert but I will try to assist him as he's a 1st-time DSLR owner.
We are all here to learn, to shoot and have fun.

but once you set D-Lighting back to 'normal', or 'high', or whatever setting, it should remember even though you power off/on, right?Putting the problems one site. Anyone found that the d7000 is now putting D lighting to default off?
Previously it was defaulted to normal on other models?

I certainly don't believe D7000 deserved a Gold. Reason being, we should not only treat the award as an indication of how good a product is, but rather, how much it can be improved.
Certainly, D7000 has many many good points, yet there are quite alot to be improved. As Dpreview indicated, for bright situations, the camera tend to overexpose by almost a stop. I agree with them on this.
Therefore, if such award are being given sparsely without thinking of something far ahead, I wonder what award would the replacement for D300s and D700 would be? Golder than gold? :bsmilie: What about replacement for D3S? Gold with Golden Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds?

You can think what ever you like. Working for Nikon? Dead wrong - cos I am capable of generating good income on my own - me my own boss.
Throwing names and calling me a Nikon fan boy and lazy? In fact I have left this thread from Part I and II alone for quite some time, as the complaints and ranting were with reasons and tolerable. However, I have received several PMs with regards to your constant ranting and members are getting quite tired of it, that I step in - and for that you call be a fanboy and label me as lazy.
Please read the term of use here :
http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63954 esp #1 and #3.
And seriously your only contributions in all your 91 posts in this forum is CS is just confined to Buy and Sell for your D90 and some lenses and this D7000 thread. And yet you put down all the replies to your post that you do not wish to listen as "mind your own business" or not constructive advices, from many members who tried to help as well as taken their time to explain.
If you want to be a responsible member of this CS community than I suggest you be more constructive and contribute to this forum positively rather than shooting down anything thing that gets in your way. As well as names calling of moderators here. Cos I would not hesitate to de- register you off from this forum if this persist.

Doing it inappropriate will give people impression as a fan boy.
As the lazy term, it depends on how sensitive that u take it.
Alright, you decided to give infraction to my Id.
Seriously, do you think that you are doing right to calm down the fire or pouring fuel over the fire here? You are the boss, u decide.
You are ur own boss that earn a lot? No comment. Not related to d7k issue at all.
