I wanted built in wireless flash control
Nikon D7000: * 100% viewfinder * Dual SD memory card slots * Magnesium-alloy body * 16.2MP CMOS sensor (DX) * Expeed 2 * 1080 HD video @24p | 720 @30p (not sure about those) * 20 min video recording (up from 5min on the D90) * Save images from video (similar to the D3s) * AF during video * Stereo mic input for video * 6 fps * Virtual horizon (like the D300s) * One touch video and/or live view (similar to the D3100) * Improved ISO range: 100-25600 * 39 AF points * Wireless flash * Weather proof (like the D300s) * New battery system * Expected price: $1199 for body only * Update: no swivel display
This is a break down of the main specs/features: * continuous AF in video mode/live view (yes, that’s right – it seems that the continuous AF I mention earlier today will first be introduced in the upcoming Nikon D3100) * new AF points configuration which should cover a very large portion of the viewfinder. Total of 11 or 12 AF points. * 10 MP CMOS sensor * HD video: 1080p/24 and 720p 30/24! * AVCHD video codec * In camera video editing capabilities * 3fps (same as D3000) * will be sold in a kit with the 18-55mm lens * expected announcement in “few weeks” * no swivel display[NR] rating: 99%[/qoute]Dave, you can turn the pre flashes off can't you? I tell you that Mcnally vid really opened up my eyes to the value of CLS, it just looked a million miles quicker/easier dare I say repeatable than full manual. Nikon SB prices are artificially high due to the Strobist site I believe but what Dave says is certainly true you won't lose anything on it.
well I might start bidding on a d60 on ebay with a kit lens to get me going again, if any one see's a good deal or something similar thats also a good deal then holla.word
well the d3100 looks very tempting, major problem is it isn't released yet which means not only can I not own it now, but it'll be a while before I can get one relatively cheaply second hand and I really need something in the meantime. Might just get a d60 and then upgrade to a d3100 or whatever in a few years.mmm decisions decisions.....
Whats the problem with the lcd Paul?
Maybe it's just because I've had canons for a couple of years
