Interesting D7000 review

I thought this was an interesting blog post from Gordon Lewis - a K-7 user who has now bought a D7000. His reasons for keeping his current camera, a K-7 (and awaiting the chance to test a K-5) are as interesting as the reasons he went for a D7000 rather than a K-5 in the first instance.

Great position he's in, to be able to run two systems simultaneously!

As he said, he's not a brand fanatic. My D7000 arrived from SRS along with it's 2 year warranty. I bought it to go on the 70-200 f/2.8 VR. It won't see another lens. The 70-200 VR has a rep of being slightly soft at the edges so a cropped, high res body was a great move. It only shoots through the sweet spot.

Why I didn't buy a K5;

Already have high ISO & low noise with the D700.

I'll wait and see what a K3 offers. In the meantime, the K7, K10, D700 and D7000 will be in use in Oz.

Best regards

is the d7000 not suppose to have better iso than the k5(dxo)

I don't think the difference is anything remotely significant. I remember the k-5 came out with a slightly higher overall score. But who would actually notice in real life images?

No one.

Best regards
