It has been a lengthy while since Nikon introduced anything prior to the D3100. So using the Nikon D90 finally being changed, there has been something a lot more robust within the approaching Nikon D7000. Nikon has attempted to become a lot more careful using their product segmentations without treading around the toes of their other models unlike Canon. With that said though, I'm seeing an infinitely more serious dilemma when selecting from a Nikon D7000 along with a Nikon D300S i quickly might have from a Canon Eos 550d 60D along with a 7D. If you're wondering why then you need to have a look to determine how close the specs are as well as in which the D7000 turns out to be a little bit more superior.
Nikon D7000 Specifications
16.2 mega pixels APS-C CMOS sensor
HD Movie, 1920x1080 (24fps), 1280x720 (30, 24, 25fps)
TTL exposure metering using 2,016-pixel RGB sensor
Continuous Burst Accelerate to 6fps
Dual Memory Slots (2x SD/SDHC/SDXC Cards)
39 focus points AF (including 9 mix-type sensors)
ISO Sensitivity range: 100-6400 (Expanding to 25600)
D300S Specifications
12.3 mega pixels APS-C CMOS sensor
HD Movie, 1,280 x 720 (24 fps)
Continuous Burst Accelerate to 7fps (8fps with Megabytes-D10)
Dual Memory Slots (1x CF, 1x SD/SDHC Cards)
51 focus points AF (including 15 mix-type sensors)
ISO Sensitivity range: ISO 200 to 3200 (Broadened 100 to 6400)
Key Variations
The very first factor many people would notice will be the apparent rise in the mega pixels rely on the sensor. As the increase from 12.3 to 16.2 might not please everyone else requesting 20+ mega pixels but what's well worth taking notice of may be the ISO selection of the D7000. Using the elevated resolution, Nikon has clearly considerably enhanced their noise reduction to permit a level greater ISO setting at ISO 25600 (2-stops a lot more than the Nikon D300S).
The brand new 39-point AF system within the Nikon D7000 offers us something to anticipate in the 11-point AF formerly within the D90. Sure, it's less than the 51-points AF system from the D300S but when it's fast and accurate enough, you most likely will not need a lot of focus points anyway. More interesting but less obvious (a minimum of until we are able to do more tests) may be the new metering system from the D7000. Utilizing a 2,016 pixels sensor rather than the prior 1,005 pixels sensor, it ought to technically provide more details for additional accurate metering. So far as burst speed though, the D300S still supports the trumps with as many as 7fps (8fps with Megabytes-D10) instead of the reduced but nonetheless very faster (faster than Canon 60D, we might add) 6fps.
There's even the enhanced movie recording feature within the D7000. Now shooting Full HD at 1920x1080, the D7000 also advantages of the AF-F focusing mode which enables AF throughout the recording mode. Both cameras are equally rugged using the lighter D7000 supplying dual Sdcard slots instead of the CF and Sdcard slots around the D300S. While CF cards might be more essential with a professionals, the benefit of SD/SDHC/SDXC cards is beginning to conquer many more. This is also true using the faster and much more durable top end cards on the market. Not everybody would agree though and much more for those who have plenty of costly CF cards already.
Why Buy Nikon D7000
- Lighter but nonetheless very rugged body
- Full HD movie within video AF
- High ISO range
Why Buy Nikon D300S
- Greater Continuous Burst Speed
- 51-point AF System although not enough to really make a difference (Negative)
- CF card shooting
My choice? Just obtain the D7000 or if you're not in a rush, wait for a D300S alternative that will without doubt place the D7000 to shame. May need to hold back until 2011 though.
