fxtphoto Offline • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Nikon Bodies Hi all, so I'm looking at possibly upgrading to another Nikon. I currently have a 5100 and was considering the 7000 because I know I can use the internal settings to control off camera flash units (I have two SB700's) and I think the shutter/flash sync is higher then that of the 5100 (the 5100 is 1/200). But before I decide to pull the trigger on the 7000, I wanted to find out if there is another professional/semi-professional body that is similar to the 7000 or slightly better (but still in the same price range) I should also consider. Ideally I would LOVE to jump to the FX sensor but don't have the cash for one. Any input would be great. F Feb 21, 2013 at 06:47 PM

fxtphoto Offline • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Nikon Bodies Is the 7000 considered a professional model or a highend semi-pro model? Also I just read that the max sync speed with the 7000 using a SB700 is 320. Can someone confirm this as true or false. Feb 21, 2013 at 09:46 PM

Also I just read that the max sync speed with the 7000 using a SB700 is 320. Can someone confirm this as true or false. The D7000 is a camera aimed at serious amateurs. It's not a pro camera by any stretch. What do you want it to do? That's the way to decide on camera gear. As for the sync, I haven't looked it up but I am betting that the 1/320s is just the high speed sync that's possible with a dedicated Nikon flash (such as SB910). The flash fires rapidly like a strobe. It has fairly low power doing that. More likely the true sync speed is 1/250s at best. Kent in SD Feb 21, 2013 at 11:13 PM

harvey steeves Offline • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Nikon Bodies the idea of waiting and watching holds great value. The D7100 is supposed to be released by the end of March. There might be a lot of used D7000s' available as people upgrade. Wait until you see one with a low activation count at a price that is agreeable to you. As to what the specs are, a quick search for reviews of the camera will answer many of your questions. As to whether or not it is a pro body ... that will be determined by you. If you take it, make images that provide you with income - guess what? its a pro body. Sometimes however, it a case of appearances. Depending on what you intend to shoot, you could end up in a situation where you are surrounded by people with more expensive cameras who will look down their nose at you. This is basic penis envy - where you will be regarded more on size and less on performance. Feb 22, 2013 at 03:24 AM

playerofwar Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Nikon Bodies D7100 is more pro than the D7000, especially the af and functions are more like a D300s than a D7000 replacement. (and you have 7fps) Feb 22, 2013 at 06:58 AM

VinnieJ Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Nikon Bodies "pro" "amateur" "enthusiast"....meaningless labels. If it has the features you want then it's a good fit. Feb 22, 2013 at 10:52 AM

Big Appa Online • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · Nikon Bodies The D7000 does indeed have a metal chassis. I think it's almost certain we will never see the D400, unless it's a cheaper version of the D600. Ed Feb 22, 2013 at 04:54 PM
