- YES. The 10 year old DSLR is STILL a camera that hangs with modern mirrorless cameras in the photography realm. Especially since you can use the older and under rated Nikon lenses with it!

I am currently using the Nikon D7000 for almost 2 years now, was using the Nikon D40 before and there was no regrets at all upgrading. There are plenty of affordable F mount lenses available, especially in the secondhand market here in Malaysia. My lenses consist of the 35mm F1.8G, 50mm F1.8D and recently got the tamron 17-50mm f2.8. I mainly shoot cosplay portraits as a student freelancer and for my use case, its perfectly enough. I am currently saving up for lighting equipment as I figured its a better investment over a new body/lens. Great video!
How sharp is temeron? You have any photography page /ig account over that?
@@zawhernos2541Helloo, I tried to reply to your msg multiple times and it doesnt seem to come through. The tamron lens is sharp enough for me but I would recommend you to look up sample images online as I don't really look into sharpness when getting a lens. I look for budget and practicality instead.
Nice! You've got some solid lenses too! I appreciate you sharing your photography journey and your experience with the D7000. The Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 is a very nice lens.
I’ve had mine for 12 years, I kept it after upgrading to a Nikon Z6. I still use it from time to time. Still a good camera. The technology has moved a long way since 2010. Could be a good starter camera. I use mine as a backup and for the older screw driven lenses. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D7000. Glad you're still using yours when you can :) Great to know another D7000 is STILL getting used.
I've had a D7000 for 12 years, it's a great camera. I also have the Nikkor 17-55 F2.8 lens, it's a beast but great. Full-frame lenses also work great on this body. I did recently go full-frame and mirrorless, but it was more of a want than a need. The D7000 is perfectly capable and paired with a great lens, you wouldn't be disappointed.
Thank you for sharing! You had yours for a REALLY long time. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with the D7000.
It is a great camera. I bought my first one when it first came out all the way back in late 2010. I loved it. Used it until the LCD stopped working. Then bought another from eBay back in 2021. Both are now broken but I have captured many of my favourite images using it. I love the analog style look of the files. I must say at lower ISOs the files are just wonderful. I prefer the look of the D7000 to my other cameras D7200/D750 and the Z6. I just might buy another one.
Whoa! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D7000. I remember a relative buying one back when it was released and I was astounded at how amazing the images looked. Now, it's still an amazing camera to use :D 100% agree with you about the image quality using lower ISOs!
Live view: you can make chages you can can see: Shutter speed and ISO.
The aperture is stuck at whatever it was set to when you opened up the mirror. It is due to Nikon's legacy aperture setting litte lever, that can't move when the mirror is locked up.
This is true for virtually all Nikon DSLR before a certrain date.
They put little motors on that lever starting with the D810 and D750 if memory serves, those could change aperture during live view, with non E series lenses.
Just for you, i went and put my 105mm f/1.4E lens on my D7000, which have an in-lens electronically operated aperture mechanism, it does change it during Live View.
ps: if you meant that during M mode live view you can't see the current expose, the manual video controls need to be enabled, which in turn will turn off the ability to go below 1/30s shutter speed, go figure.
Ah! Thank you!!
it didn't replace the D300S at all. The D300S was the sports body of the time : great AF, 8fps shooting, long buffer, pro body.
The D90 was the step down from the D300S, but as Nikon didn't want to replace the D300S to focus on FX cameras in that price range (as shown with the D600), Nikon splitted the "mid range" line in two.
Instead of having a successor to the entry level D60 and a successor to the mid range D90, they gave a successor to the D60 (in the form of the D3000) and TWO successors to the D90 in the form of both the D5000 and D7000. The D7000 ended up a little over the proce of the D90, while the D5000 ended up a little bit under. It created more market segmentation.
All of that being said : the D7000 is not a sports body. It's a great camera for event photographers, but it was really criticized at the time for its very lackluster buffer health (only 8 RAW images).
To me, both the D300 and D7000 could still cost the same today, they're just meant for different things. I could take my event photography gigs with the D7000, while I would take the D300(S) for sports and action. I would not take the D300 for events, and I would not take the D7000 for sports.
I REALLY appreciate your feedback. I do agree with you about the D7000 not being a sports body; for me, it's the ISO button and the lack button and controls the D300/D300s bodies had. Thanks for sharing!
their is a mood software to accurate live view
LoL that AF is loud!
That's the Nikon F-Mount lenses for you, haha! The 'newer' Nikon AF-P lenses are much "quieter".
come on man, yes it's useable but it's a 14 year old camera, photos are excellent, video is fabulous but only in bright sunshine , I use one with a 50mm ais 1.8 as a dash cam , so for $250 it's an excellent dash cam , that's all
Never liked it, found it slow and to have bad/soft picture quality, not ergonomic, vastly preferred the 7100/7200 or even the D90 or D40.
D40 felt similarly slow as 7000
What lens did you use ?
What lens did you use? Former D7000 owners I talked to really enjoyed it. I think if anything, it was the actual hardware that started to fail on the D7000 (the dial near the lcd screen).
