very detailed hands-on review. I'm very curious about the mode dial, as well as the back controls

D90 is still a great camera. D700 replacement will surely cost you 1 kidney, maybe 2 !

another hands on preview ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF_-RtDzjVs

has anybody pre-ordered it yet?

for sports & extremes ; D300s (higher frame rate, more robust body, 51AF points)

for normal use like portraits and events; D7000 (better ISO quality and ISO ratings, smaller, cheaper, 39AF points is more than enough, lighter)

but it remains to be seen how close the D7000 comes to beating the D300s. the D7000 (in my opinion) has surpassed the 7D in all areas except video, but the 7D is the D300s's direct competition. So the D400 should beat the crap out of 7D

have never seen much of 7D's specs, but you're right, 7D surpasses the D7000 in more areas than just video, my bad

for portraits, you don't really need a fast camera, usually one shot after another would be fine, bursts aren't really necessary, but depending on your style of portraits (studio, destination, etc.). for events, YES you do need a fast camera. my D60 was too slow in all aspects, AF, frame rate. if you need a better grip, the D300s would be ideal. if you don't mind a smaller size body, the D7000 or D90 would suit you fine

probably when the D7000 starts selling in the US and Europe. Asia is always late (except Japan I suppose), especially Malaysia

Added on October 21, 2010, 7:29 amit does seem like the issue with the D7000 made your ego jump off everywhere. "wakakaka isn't insulting", but saying that after "D7k got pixel issues" pretty much is. if you didn't have any problem with the issue, you wouldn't have made such comment. anyways, have fun with your 7D, awesome camera with the 2 factory machines in there

could you also find out about the availability of some accessories for the D7000? such as the battery and the new battery grip, MB-D11?

I second that. a very exciting camera for enthusiasts

still don't see why you had to write "wakaka" in there. could be you're a nut job or just laughing off at something not made by Canon. whatever it may be, I'm starting to think that you are a fanboy. now back to the topic please

video review for the D7000

saw this a week ago, laughed so hard in front of the monitor

emailed Nikon Malaysia a few days ago and this is what they replied :

"Thank you for your enquiry. The recommended selling price and stock availability for D7000 model will only be announced in beginning November 2010 onwards and also in Nikon, Malaysia website at www.nikon.com.my . Thank you for your patience."

And I've also been seeing things like Nikon halting their D7000 shipping to fix the pixel issues that has been brought up earlier, but that was told by a worker in the US, and I don't trust that news much.

I expect the D7000 (body only) to have a price of RM4,000 or around there when released in Malaysia, and will drop at the turn of the year. Anybody know how much the D90 was selling for when it first came out?
