Nikon D7000 or D700

[bornwild4]

All the recent macro shots I posted are from a D7000.

I anti bugs. I can fly.

I saw D60 on macro also nice. Coz the technique they use with flash.
So sharp even on D60

nope. Already proven otherwise - ISO6400 on the D7000 is nowhere close to the quality of ISO6400 on the D700. That was a marketing myth that's been debunked. Nonetheless, the D7000 probably tops the DX range where high ISO performance is concerned

That's what I said bro, I think you misread what I wrote. That D7k's high ISO performance is around 1 stop lower than D700. That means the D700 performs better by 1 stop. D700 's 6400ISO gives similar noise to D7000's 3200ISO setting. D7k ISO's performance at high ISO is around 0.5 to 0.75 stops better than D300s.

Bro spree86,
Can you post some portraits shots with D7000 too?

Check out my flickr, the recent model shoots are from my D7000

Spree86: drool on Yr macro. U think I can get such close up w closeup filter on 17-50mm ?

Filters causes photos to lose quality. Besides, you need to get really close for your lens.

Hmm might need to stack a few to get that close. Like sgdevil said, it lose quality. Maybe you can try using raynox on a longer lens? At 200 it should give you pretty good magnification

Or just get a cheap dedicated macro lens like Tamron 90mm AF. Was my favorite lens for a while until recently.

yeah, but that's what i thought too, but the pics I have seen so far show that there's at least 1.5 stops difference between the D7000 and the D700 on high ISO. At ISO1600 on the D7000, the D700 produces similar quality at ISO4000

I would just venture out to say 1 stop. Because a lot depends on how you test. What I saw was jpeg to jpeg, with NR set to high on both. On RAW it will be a different matter all together.

I think he want to consider a cheaper alternative before putting money into a macro lens.

The Tamron 17-50 will have serious vignetting when coupled with a Raynox, even zoomed in to 50mm. Also, the working distance is significantly reduced in order to produce the high magnification. This means that you have to get really close to the thing you are trying to shoot, which is not optimal for insect macro.

 

[IllusionImage]

It's what you like that happens. Other factors like cost and budget?

Ah,
I skip that entirely. Though my first macro lens is a dirt cheap copy.

A dedicated macro lens exists for a purpose, unless you don't mind the not so good quality of the alternatives. However, the excellent Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR is only about $1000 for a used copy. Sounds ok if you shoot macro always.
