D7000 user...fall in!!!

[diglomex]

Anyone tried the semi-soft case CF-DC3 for D7000?
Is not selling in sg?
Will it fit the 17-55 ?

 

[Cowseye]

Hahaz.. For the subject isolation + bokehlicious effect?

But it's 4 times the price of a 70-300 =_=!

Depends on which version you buy bro, sigma's only 2 to 2.5 times

Dude, u probably have your EXPOSURE DELAY mode set to ON. Switch it OFF.

bro,
thanks,u r right......
my setting back to normal after i switch 'exposure delay mode'(d11) to OFF in Custom setting Menu - (d)shooting/display function.

Thanks,
Tam.

You can consider the poor man equivalent , AF80-200 F2.8 lens if the non-VR is not a concern. I own the lens and have to pay more attention to proper hand holding techniques.

Ha thanks, thinking more in a travel lens. Like a 1 fits all type.

hi guys I'm currently a D3100 user and am thinking of upgrading to D7000. does anyone here use it for paid assignment?

I've seen the specs and they look fantastic. but what about hands on? how do they fare?

even a d90 can print to 12"x18" or even 24"x36"... i can't see why a d7000 cannot... it's all about what kind of images your customers want... most of them don't quite care about the gears... if they do, most probably they'll shoot themselves not paying you to shoot......

On purely an optical quality and AF speed perspective, the 17-55 or the 24-70?

I will choose, 24-70.

Hi guys, anybody here bought Thom Hogan's complete guide for D7000? Just wondering how long will it take to get here.

I have used both the 80-200 and 70-200 II both at F2.8 and I do not see how the 70-200's VR kicks in with much effect when doing fast action photography because my shutter speed is well beyond 1/250 most of the time and at that speed, VR was only slightly helpful.

Bought the 70-200 anyway...the design is much nicer and sleeker than the 80-200.

Hi all you D7000 user,

I like to join you guys, can anyone advise me whether Nikon have resolved all the issues I read in the nets regarding problems appearing in the early batches of this camera. Thanks in advance cause I am planning to get it soon.

Bought the D7000 in Early Jan, never upgraded any firmware. Never had any issues with the cam except the few hot dots that u get when u video in darkness. But that doesnt bother me as i got a DSLR for pictures, not video. Besides, why take a video in darkness?

why not get the 17-55 since the D7000 is a crop body which will make ur 17-55 to about 25-80 there about.

and by getting 24-70 on a crop body u totally lose ur option to shoot wide angles unless u are okay with switching lens all the time when u need the wider angle.

All those "problems" were caused by idiots operating the camera outside specified parameters and then complaining about it.

Because he is asking purely on the AF speed and IQ aspect of these lenses. Focal range should had been considered. Maybe he already had a UWA to take care of that?

It's more for when you are shooting low light and have to have longer exposures. Both lenses should perform the same at fast speeds.

It's hard to beat the Nikkor 18-200mm for a one size fits all lens.

btw I know it's common for ppl to own a 17-55 lens and then get a 55-200 to complement the range (example). but won't it involve a lot of inconvenient when u need to change lens?

personally I feel that I will get a 17-55 F2.8 cause I love that lens. the bokeh and depth of field is superb. and if the situation requires me to have a further focal range then I would switch to a 18-200. so that in case I need to switch to wide angle again I can zoom out straight away. unless I need the f2.8 I wont have to keep switching in between lenses.

The 18-55mm + 55-200mm is a lot cheaper than the 18-200mm while giving better IQ at lower build quality.
The 18-200mm is very convenient as a single lens, but if you have the money and time to switch lenses, the 17-55mm f2.8 + 70-200mm/80-200mm f2.8 is an amazing combination. If you don't want to spend so much, I would suggest the 18-55mm + 55-200mm/70-300mm.

thanks! now I know why lolx.

btw wad exactly does a better IQ do?
