Not really significant imo ... nearly double the price for more megapixels and better af with loads of focus points but lacking inbody IS and has worse weather sealing/build quality.discuss a recent significant announcement in the photography world or do we still need to wear blinkers?
From what I can gather so far D7000 owners are less than impressed .. bit like K-5 owners and the II
I shall expect this post to still be here when I come back as I haven't mentioned the word Nikon once.
Ooooops.

The way this thread has started doesn't really get it off to a good start does it?
You can discuss anything that's of interest or of relevance to Pentax Users and the new Nikon is of relevance only in the context that they've chosen to emulate the K-5IIs. This has already been mentioned in another thread.
It's quite likely from the looks of things that the K-5IIs has exceeded expectations and therefore others will certainly follow.

Indeed,
Significant in that it is a competitor to the K5ii/K5iis
Nikon chose to FOLLOW Pentax re no AA, better low light focussing (only down to -2EV v -3EV ), weather sealing, etc.

K5iis and a couple of lenses.

I would have thought that they had emulated the D800E which was announced in Feb 2010, rather earlier than the K5 IIs anounced in September 2012.You can discuss anything that's of interest or of relevance to Pentax Users and the new Nikon is of relevance only in the context that they've chosen to emulate the K-5IIs.
There is one good out of all of this, we as photographers have a much larger choice of equipment available for use.

The D800E, Nikon's highest-resolution DSLR has the effect of its OLPF 'cancelled out', but the D7100, like the Pentax K-5 IIs, omits it altogether
So it seems Nikon are emulating Pentax

Yes Pentax has scored highest in the "Kings New Clothes" show! And the other brands are jealous.The way this thread has started doesn't really get it off to a good start does it?

Sorry: couldn't resist
But seriously debates over alleged IQ improvements aside, in the world of commerce the AA-filterless sensor is a talking point and at least a promise of better IQ regardless of real world evidence.
I'd fully expect all brands to go AA-less now. And why not? the IQ isn't any worse than sensor sporting the AA filter.

Isn't it "of interest to Pentax users" that Nikon's new APS-C DSLR has a 50% increase in sensor resolution and 51 AF points (15 cross-type), while Pentax's new APS-C DSLR has a 0% increase in sensor resolution and 11 AF points (9 cross-type)?You can discuss anything that's of interest or of relevance to Pentax Users and the new Nikon is of relevance only in the context that they've chosen to emulate the K-5IIs.

Of course megapixels aren't everything, but for making large prints sensor resolution always helps if one's lenses are capable of matching it.
