Nov 25, 2010

I love Nikon, always have.

This was the camera I've been saving for, in all it's hype, feature. After reading a lot of these threads, people, ranging from serious amateurs to beginners (whom the camera should work flawlessly for), seem to be mainly bitching and griping.

Sure, there are those of you that love your new camera, and there are plenty more of you than the photographers I'm speaking about; however, there seems to be an abnormal amount of disappointed people out there.

D7000 AFw 18-105mm timed by magazine at 0.5s: SLOW!
antoineb
Nov 30, 2010
Slow? Not really, heres a real lab test on speed:
sandy b
Nov 30, 2010
that's still slower than good superzooms: how could that be good?
antoineb
Nov 30, 2010
It's also SLOWER THAN THE D90 by the way

Is this considered good enough for 35mm f1.8 at ISO 800?
antoineb
Nov 30, 2010
Or is this sharp enough?
