D7000....looks pretty good.

**Lani** · 15-09-2010, 1:05pm

Some rumoured info on the D7000 specs....looks interesting. Native ISO possibly 100 and 1050 shots on a single battery charge.

Looks good Lani

This is going to put the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of the mid-high level DX market....the 60D from Canon has been disappointing and people are suggesting it to be a Lemon, and this thing looks like it can go toe to toe with the 7D. I am definitely thinking about this camera, but will be really intrigued to hear the full specs as everything is suggesting it to be way out there.

The big question now is where the heck are they going to take the D400 (and people are starting to wonder if it will be a super DX or an FX model), the D700 replacement and the D4.

Nikon is going to be well and truly ahead of Canon by may next year in terms of bodies...hopefully though they dont take their foot off the pedal like after the D3/D300 upgrade.

it doesnt look good, it looks stunning!!!!

and if i find out its cheaper than the d90 i will scream

...it wont be tho. I got my d90 for about $780.

I think this make a nice dedicated macro body while I wait for the D300 replacement

Heh...think you are safe there Ving...they are talking like 1100-1200 for it which would make sense. I reckon you are on the right track their leigh...for a DX user I suspect this will be most peoples new buy as a No. 2...with the D300/s being upgraded shortly it might see people doubleshot...particularly if they are using the D300. The only downside to me is the use of double slot SD cards which is just painful for us with a collection of CF.

Certainly does look like more than just evolution of the series, they seem to have gone out of there way to make it quite a jump up from the base models and really not far behind where the D300 started out.

Interesting times indeed.

Complete with a fixed AI tab which means full metering with all AI lenses. Of course that also means there is no way you can fit a pre-AI lens.

Should be a great camera for people who like the old MF AI lenses.

Still missing some stuff I wanted

wonder when D300s's next is coming?

**Lance B** · 15-09-2010, 4:01pm

It's still missing AF lens calibration.

I would love a camera like this as a long lens multiplier to back up my D700 but not without AF calibration.

The Setup menu on the dpreview has 'AF fine tune' option same as the D300?

Sharp eyes!
Indeed I see it!

BUT: why isn't it listed in the spec?
I hope this screenshot isn't reused from the D300!
ANyone confirm?

The D300 doesn't have a 'virtual horizon' function so assume it's the real deal

Yes, I have now seen that it does by also spotting the menu in DPR. It is surprising that it wasn't considered important enough to be considered one of the main features shown on the press release.

**ving** · 15-09-2010, 4:01pm

it still doesnt make coffee...

**ving** · 15-09-2010, 4:06pm

The Videos are truly awesum.
I am afraid they are way beyond my skill level.
I wonder which lens were used?

The stills seem over exposed to me.
Perhaps the camera was still set up for night photography or the sun was overly bright.

I sure hope Nikon does not come out with anything else before the D4.
My NAS is going crazy.
I've already ordered a D3100 and D7000 and would pickup a D700s (D800) and AF-S Nikkor 80-400 VRII in a heartbeat.
