This is to be expected & Canon shouldn't demand anything less.

Canon is a HUGE corporation in comparison to Nikon and the amount of resources available to Canon dwarf Nikon.

The fact that tiny Nikon can even compete with Canon speaks volumes for just how savvy a corporation Nikon is

In fact, Nikon is also smaller than Sony, Panasonic, & Olympus.....

Oh and one last thing....As I've said before, Ford destroys Ferrari in marketshare too

Comparing Ford to Ferrari is like comparing Canon to Hasselblad, not Nikon. Comparing Canon to Nikon would be more like comparing Ford to Volkswagen..

Hey All,

Each to their own.

Competition is better for the customer.

Whatever...

Bottom line is that Nikon is a muich smaller company than Canon and Nikon also has less resources available in comparison to Canon - that Nikon can even compete with Canon speaks volumes about the quality of Nikon itself as a company

Nikon is part of the huge Mitsubishi cooperation..

Okay,
You Canon guys win again - please continue with your anti-Nikon posts...:salute:

(And they wonder why I think Canon owners have an "attitude"...totally confirmed in this thread...)

***Panther_99FS*** · April 24th, 2011, 12:04

Note: Guess I'll get rid of my Sony, Olympus, & Sigma bodies in favor Canon...

***Ferry_vO*** · April 24th, 2011, 12:14

What anti-Nikon posts...??

If I saw a Nikon set when I started this hobby instead of a Canon set I would be as happy with Nikon as I now am with Canon..

It'll be OK Mr. Panther... :ernae:

Comes back to support P.

Go Nikon!

BTW: I find my D7000 to be an amazing camera.

Nikon is an optics company that also makes cameras. Canon is an electronics giant that also makes cameras. Give me either one and you won't be able to tell me which camera the picture came from.

Pretty much.

The way the whole community acted though you would have thought the D7000 would take over the world. It is definitely a very capable camera, if not a bit over-hyped.

I am happy with my 50D. I am NOT happy with this ridiculous Wisconsin weather.

Don't sell the D7000 short. From the reading I have been doing and my use of the camera, I would classify it as closer to revolutionary than evolutionary. The D7000 has set a new standard, at least among Nikon cameras.

Before you had the consumer cameras, i.e., D40, D50...D90 series. Which were mostly for people who wanted really good pictures but rarely if ever took the camera off of Auto. You then had the pro-consumer models, i.e. D100-300 series. These were for avid amateurs or Pro back up cameras. They were built with pro materials and quality but lacked many of the higher end features found in the professional series. Lastly you had the D1-D3 series, the top of the line Pro cameras.

The D7000 still caries the vestiges of the Consumer line with its scene modes and pop up flash. However, it is built more like the D300 series and contains state of the art electronics and sensors. Considering Nikon's numbering series, the use of a four numerical model has some Nikon users wondering it this isn't the start of a new grade of cameras for Nikon?

The D7000 will force you to become a better photographer, at least technically. It is not a leave on Auto, point and shoot camera. Many early users of the camera reported back focusing issues and blurry images. The vast majority of these turned out to be "operator errors." With its high 18 MP sensor and 1.5 ratio sensor factor, any camera shake, mis-focusing, or other technical errors will become readily apparent.

I found this out when I got into bird photographing.

It ain't easy getting good pictures of dem little critters. I purchased a Sigma 50-500 "Bigma" lens and thought I had wasted my money. Funny, every time I go out the lens gets better and better.

Rather than over hyped, I see the D7000 as a portend of the great things to come in digital cameras.
