So I'm torn between a D90 and D7000. A lot of the reviews say the 7000 isn't quite the successor to the D90 it should be. It's also a pretty big price premium. Anybody want to weigh in on this one?
No. But I might be interested in buying your old camera off of you if you decide before April. Keep a nigga in the loop.
No problem. It's an S3 IS. I think I still have the hood adapter and box for it as well. Never got any other lenses for it.
Can I attach my old ass Canon lenses to it? That would rule.
That I'm not sure of. I think there were only a handful of lenses specifically made for that model but I could be wrong. I'm hoping B-ri or Unger can chime in.
All my lenses are from the 70's. Specifically from the Canon AE-1. I'd love to be able to use them for something.
Not sure that the S3 IS can use interchangeable lenses. You would need at least the entry level Rebel which uses the EOS EF and EF-S mounts. This would allow you to get an adapter that can use the FD mount of the older lenses.
Curious why you are planning on going from Canon to Nikon. You can't go wrong with either but any particular reason?
The 7000 is going to cost you roughly $400 more. The advantages over the 90 are 16.2mp to 12.3mp (not a huge leap and not really all that important) and a 6400ISO compared to 3200ISO (this is a nice difference, the higher ISO the camera can shoot the better). The 7000 can shoot 6fps while the 90 only 4.5fps and the 7000 has 39 point AF system compared to the 90's 11.
The main advantage to me is the higher ISO capability of the 7000. You aren't getting a huge advantage over the extra pixels, but they are nice to have. The burst rate is only really important for action and I find the AF points only necessary if you plan on using them all at the same time. I shoot using only the center point as it is generally the cameras best focus point and using them all puts the focus entirely in the cameras hands so you may not get the best focus if there are multiple subjects in the frame.
If you expect to be doing some low light shooting and action as well, the 7000 might be a good investment.
Actually I'm not against other options. Just trying to keep my range to a max $1100 if I can. Those were the last two reviews I had read.
