A new & happy D7000 user..

My opinion about camera model is this :

Buy the model your budget permits / home minister approval (for married men) and reserve some extra money for a good lens and useful accessories ( tripods, external flash, etc )

Not to be too worried about replacement models and such ...

It is just a marketing gimmick, pricing structure ( nice but unused features ) and race against Canon models

Even those older/lower models takes great pictures if the user is a skillful photographer...


I don't even use the full-hd video recording or the LiveView functions ( except to zoom in on macro shots to check the focusing )

For long term investment, get those with built-in motor to support a wider variety of lens...

The newer models usually have more intelligent features to make better photo decision on behalf of the users..

Hope this helps you to make your sound decision on the model selection...

Relieved to hear that
Thanks for the explanation

they haven't even replaced the d300s, d700 and d3s
and people here are expecting a replacement of the d7000?

internet age kids nowadays

just like people expecting iphone 5?

hahaa yeah
and if iphone 5 really was released in oct, come may people will ask when is iphone 6 coming out

I want a screen protector for my new d7000, google all turn out the GGCS product. Went to a photo shop saw a clear film selling like rm100 !

Have anyone try using car tint film, like 3m , v-kool or the unbreakable tint on lcd screen since ours is not a touch screen. tot of getting it from the shop(leftover) and DIY cutting it to shape.

think it will work?

It's becoming more of a trend now...
You lost your LCD protector?

still intact but the top part, if it can be done or done by anyone

nikon dslr body got built in motor n lens got motor too = twin motor = will how ?

Twin Turbo FTW

it will to powerful and it might twist the lens and crack it ...

it will be looks like this

pic. 1a

because when 2 motor activated, the 2 force will clash and during auto-zooming your dslr body will vibrate and ya, for long term your lens will eventually cracked like the picture pic. 1a.

so to be advice you need disable one of the motor by go to menu> setting> disable auto-focus in body.

Guys, Is it Fx's DOF greater than Dx's DOF if using same lens(Fx)?

I lol'd so hard

It has it's Pros and Cons
Aside the hefty price tag on some lens

spam pic...taken at Luna Bar...nice place

It's the other way around. DX bodies have greater DoF than FX.

You can check it for yourself;

http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

For landscape or macro, it is actually better to use a DX body.

Using flash to fill issit...
Background feels a bit over exposed
Other than that... it's gooding

The FX Users gets jealous about that and the low price tags on *some* DX Lenses while
the DX users gets jealous about the big guns on FX Stuff

Haha , couldn't stop laughing at that 'dudes' saying

Let say both Fx and Dx body focos at 10feet subject at f1.8 using FX 50mm lens. Fx will have 1.29ft DOF and Dx will have 0.86ft DOF, that Fx will had greater DOF in this case? Correct me if i wrong thanks!

guys... i'm on d60 wif kitlens for many years d... thinking of an upgrade...

well, considering nikkor 18-105 or 18-135... which would be a better upgrade ar?

What you did is correct. But remember that 50mm on FX body is 33.3mm on DX. Plug in the 33mm focal length and f/1.8 for DX body at 10 feet subject distance and you will get total DoF 1.99 feet instead of 1.29 feet for FX.
