Mind sharing the performance?? Should i ditch the D700 (still awaiting for it to arrive) or get this d7k haha

^Ditch D700 for D7000???? No way!!!

D700 is still SUPERIOR man...

Just came back from Mid valley ...found 2 shop selling D7000 with limited stock....

Key Color - kit lens RM4699, body RM 3899

Fotokem - kit lens RM4899, Body RM 4K plus (cant remember)

Tested the demo set from KeyColor... the shutter much silent compare to D90 and was very shock the focus was so fast maybe as fast as canon 7D ...weight feel lighter then D90 even so share the same lens... but the body feel abit like plastic feel.... now i really got poison with this D7000 and droping off my D90 .....

Don laugh at us who use DX la bro..... ditch D700 for D7k?? U r telling me u wanna sell ur Mitsubushi Lancer for Proton Inspira when ppl claim inspira's handling better den Lancer?? hahaaa.......

All improvement on the D7000 is really impressive especially the autofocus speed!! There is one thing make me really sad..... the images turns out to be very soft even at iso200, till now I still dunno why!! compared to my previous D5k, at iso 200, u can see the razor sharp image when u zoom in 100% to see the person's eyes! but with D7k, the face like being photoshop with gaussian blur!!

Any pro here tested out mind to share, so sad for this point, haaiz....

I have not tested out both and I am not a pro but..

What lens did you used and at what lighting conditions did you get the razor sharp images on the D5k?

Now, same question, but for the D7k.

I am asking this to see if it might be the limits of the lens and lighting conditions that is being exposed on the D7k's 16mpix sensor. After all, the D5k only has 12mpix.

I used the same lens for both, 35mm 1.8, it's quite obvious the D7k not so sharp after looking it at comp monitor, anyway haven fully tested yet.

Maybe you need to calibrate the lens on your new D7000. Could be backfocusing.

guys, here's new D7000 thread. i think we shud continue our discussion in the new thread. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1639162

Mod please close this thread thanks!!!

Is this Nikon Malaysia set? I read that only Kit Lens set available at the moment from Nikon Malaysia?

Mind to share how much you bought it and where?

i think we need TS to close this thread. anywy, i'll pm ahchew120 soon regarding this matter.

Quite pricey.. dun hav money much Gonna get d3100

Shops are playing with prices now, their chance to get maximum profit since people can't wait to own one and showoff. I expect the price to go down a bit later on. About RM3.7k for body I would say?

how much the price will be, say in 6 months from now?

I tested the D7000 on 85mm f/1.4G and 70200 f/2.8G. Razor sharp at ISO100! Kaolat!

Well, if Celciuz say is good, it's good enough for me. He might not be a pro but base on what I have read in the forum, both the D90 and the Dark horse thread and also the photos he has posted, he has given me the confident to go ahead to purchase the D7k. At least his contribution in this forum has given us newbies alot of informations on DSLR photography.

Try at dark places la. Bright places use ISo 3200 see nothing and off the noise reduction !

Gaussian blur because the noise reduction la

1.8 actually very soft

I saw bunch of body only set with NIKON MALAYSIA warranty le. Your source

Agreed. Tested on 50mm already razor sharp !

Actually a bit scary, cause my friend using 18-105 on her D7000. I'm using 85mm f/1.4G on my D90. On LCD screen her pics looks better in color! Maybe because of better LCD? I dunno, wanted to load the pics up in my pc to view but I lost my SD with the D7000 pics . Need to grab the pics from my friend since I was using 2 SD card in her D7000 with back up function . Oh I love the 2 memory card capability!

Thanks for your information, just checking and confirming cause what I read from other forums stated so, and some shops selling at higher price trying to talk about "water" set. Don't la
So tension this room

Anyway, thanks again for your clarification.

Early morning I my head to wake myself up
As long as it's NIKON MALAYSIA warranty card, it's local set.
