Nikon D7000 Reviewed by Digital Photography Review

Posted by Lee Yuan Sheng in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 09:11 AM

"When it was announced in September the D7000 took a lot of people by surprise. Although a D90 successor had been on the horizon for some time, what wasn't expected was how close in specification terms the new camera would turn out to be to the D300S. In some respects, in fact, the D7000 actually outguns its (supposedly) semi-pro cousin, and offers a compelling upgrade option to both D90 and D300S owners, whilst nominally sitting between the two in Nikon's current lineup."

Alright, here's the DPReview review of the Nikon D7000, and the verdict is well, good. Basically if you're looking for something more advanced but not professional grade, the D7000 is pretty much it. Stills are very good (though the noise does not look much better than my D300), and the video has a lot less rolling shutter issues than the D90. I just played with one at Nikon today and was quite impressed. However I don't agree with it as an upgrade for D300s owners!

Nikon's Latest DSLR Reviews: D7000 and D3100

Posted by Lee Yuan Sheng in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 11:30 AM

As both the D7000 and D3100 get shipped out in quantity, we're starting to see the reviews for both come in. First up is the D3100 review. How does it fair? Pretty good, actually, thought if you are not looking for video, you should take a look at the D3000 as well, as it is much cheaper. I do expect the D3100's price to go down after a few manufacturing cycles though. The D3000 is after all, based on the tried-and-tested (aka old-and-outdated in techspeak).

Next up is the big hit of the season, the Nikon D7000. Nikon traditionally has been better at doing the more expensive cameras (market segmentation is not a strong suite of theirs, see F301, F401, F50, F70 as examples). I don't think I really need to tell you all how it fares in the review!

Nikon D7000 Early Review

"This review not to go over the specs, movies, AI metering, FPS of the Nikon D7000; instead we will talk about the camera handling, auto focus, image quality, etc. I am not here to bash or stop you from getting the Nikon D7000. In fact you can order the kit here and the body only here.My reason for getting a D7000 was for me to have a backup to my D700; in case of an emergency or just for casual use."

As the Nikon D7000 trickles out to the stores, the reviews are starting to pop up. Here's one by a working professional; I do have a little concern in using the term sharpness in reviewing output quality; there's resolution, and there's edge contrast, the latter which many people use to describe "sharpness". It's too easy to mislead apparent resolution by using some smart sharpening techniques (by smart I don't mean dialling up the sharpness to 11 either). Still, the high ISO looks impressive, and I now can't wait for the release of the D400, or whatever the D300s successor is going to be called.

Nikon D7000 vs D300s Spec Sheet comparison

Posted by Lee Yuan Sheng in "Digital Home Hardware & Accessories" @ 12:30 PM

"It's been a long while since Nikon announced anything before the D3100. So with the Nikon D90 finally being replaced, we are seeing something much more robust in the upcoming Nikon D7000. Nikon has tried to be much more careful with their product segmentations without treading on the toes of its other models unlike Canon."

Nikon has come up with the D7000, an upscale replacement of the D90, which comes close in many ways to the D300s. For most photo enthusiasts, the newer D7000 is a better choice; the D300s is based on a two-year old camera that now will serve mostly professionals who need certain features for their work but can't wait for the D300s follow-up. If you still have a D300 or D300s, the D7000 is not likely to be an upgrade unless you need video on a DSLR, so fret not. Anyone eagerly waiting for the D7000?
