Hot! Finally it's here! The spec reads promising...;p
 

Nikon did it in 2008 with the D90. Now they have done it again in 2010.

Before that it was the D80 I believe... Nikon seems to be wanting to make big headlines with their mid range DSLRs!

I'd call it value for money. Think I will be replacing my D70 with the D7000. So shooting with D90, D200 and D7000. Dual SD cards with the D7000. Very difficult to go wrong in a shoot with everything dualed or tripled including lenses and flashes, unless something gets stolen or what. *touch wood* ;p

Most people have no idea how useful dual SD slots are for a critical shoot for the pros. Armed with 2 bodies, 99.9999% no failure. Any higher and it'd be D3 dual slots. There are videographers doing real time SSD recording (as an add-on) and then on DV tape. This is similar. I have experienced write errors with the D70 way last time on several shoots. CF card cannot be used on the LCD. Balls rolled into the toilet. With D90 just in April 2010, about 6GB and 3 shoots have quite a number of images lost (the others on D200 and a wee bit few on D70), opened Windows Explorer its ASCII garbage for > 50% of filenames and directories. The SD card reported as over 990+ GB. :) Used image recovery to recover, luckily most can be recovered and detected as "good jpegs". Some can only get 80-90% recovery of the frame, so have to open and re-crop using the good jpeg portions. All in all got about 10 times failure in about 600+ shoots. It can happen, even on Pro bodies. You shoot enough stuff, anything can happen and will happen. Usually hobbyists would not experience this, and hence will boldly shoot with 1 body on paid shoots. :)

BTW which Canon got dual slots? 7D or 5D2?

Another thing that interests me is the "better" metering module. Not sure how good is that. Hope its really good. :)

I have a feeling that the image reviewing and overall speed "feel" of the whole cam is gonna be fast with the new processor. Sometimes really need to work fast and find the D90 image review not fast enough.

So do/did you also witch to Nikon ? Nikon is so good :)
 

One thing I a bit dislike is the numbering. But of course, Nikon should has the consideration. More model will be coming out.

D90 --> D7000 (why so many "0"?)

hehe, If I am NOT wrong it is a failure from DXXX(may be D800/D900) but over spec of D90( maybe D95/98) thats why D7000 including spec. -- totally different of D3000/3100/5000 style -- better wait for DXX FX? or Dxxx?

but in frankly speaking the spec. really promising--even if it still comes with scene mode -- it is NOT for professional!

Actaully you all not during the D70 and 300D era. 300D launch....WAHH. Then came D70. EARTHQUAKE.

D7000 is quite muted as compared to then back in 2004. dpreview had so many pageviews and forum posts that it HUAT overnight.
 

Man, The AF capability for Full HD Video will def come handy with my baby coming soon... :heart:

And guess apart from that, it could well be my designated Macro cam with those xtra megapixels and high iso capabilities.. :devil:

Though its still my D700 for everything else..

which, if any, will be the canon model to "compare with"?
 

D7000 is really massive, mind blowing. It feels like it's encouraging people to jump ship! :o 39 Focus Points VS 7D 19 Focus Points, Faster + Better low light cabilities considering it's Nikon. Very tempting! :think:
 

here we go again, another chance to upgrade to new body. Hello! Mr. Chgpe, any chance of New toy molestation session for Clubsnap Nikonian?:bsmilie:
 

different battery (no en-el3)
different charger
different grip (mb 11d)
:think:
 

i'll upgrading to d7000 from d60....i'll be blown away!!!!!!!!
