Nikon d7000 vs Nikon d90

[differenceis]

yo bro need to know somethin.. you lift weights? lets get together and do some guns

[TheXentius]

Hey bro,

thanks for this good review

i really need to know if D7k's 9 cross-type focus points worth its price?

i mean,D90's auto focus is far behind of D7k?

i guess 7k s faster and many people say so but what about accuracy?

i wanna buy one of them with tokina 11-16 35mm and 85mm

btw i remember your lovely tokina review...

[murtileo]

nice review,very usefull....Dude please tell me what that tripod is called(in which the camera is placed) rather than the old one's????with the screw type thingy

[QQQQcon]

@murtileo it is a older gitzo carbon fiber tripod

[venquished]

REal photographer isn't needed HD quality Video = )))

[drxfiles]

1200 bucks = one awsome camera.

[MrKnnknn]

I was contemplating purchasing a D7000, however the price is very discouraging. It may be an amateur camera but it has a semi-pro price.

[ilovemakeupgal1998]

I wanna get the d7000! :)

[Dange3DStudios]

I have the Nikon d90 and I like it, but I really need better video quality ( full-HD ). Do you think it would be worth it to buy a d7000?

[QQQQcon]

@Dange3DStudios the d7000 does have much better video, depends if you think it worth spending the money.

[kickople990]

what lens do you have mounted on the d7000?

[TheDx917]

I would go for the D7000 for sure.... its a much better camera that does everything in a better way.. D90 is a good camera to be a first DSLR though but i would recommend the D7000 for its better features, the thing that makes it compete with the D300s !! D7000 FTW XD

[artouf98]

i am still using a d70 gosh i need to upgrade!!!

i saw the d7000 body for 950$ is this a good deal??

my dad has an olympus ep-3 so maybe i should just get the epl-3 so we can switch lens together. 1 more thing can i take my lens from a d70 to use it on a d7000?? please answer

thanks :)

[QQQQcon]

@artouf98 the d7000 will work with any lens your d70 works with. that price seems correct

[xavierjohnwinston]

@artouf98 950$ is a great price. It would cost me 1200$ CAD where i live. Where did you find that price?

[MrMAAKK]

D90 is a thing of the past ,these are electronics and after 5 yrs nearly 60% improved cameras keep coming ,I like your review but you should compare the D7000 with the D300s as you mentioned,the D7000 has a great new auto focus system and a much better ISO performance which actually matters,I'll always pick the D7000 and will leave the D700 even if it's FX and all but as for now D7000 is the top pick if one can afford it or go for the D5100 which has the same sensor of the D7000 but no motor

[pioneerz450]

Full HD... HA HD is a hype... get 4k res if you want resolution...

[pioneerz450]

The reason the D90 didnt do as good as the D300 is that its set for an entire different segment...

[grated801]

that d90 aint full hd like d7000 is full hd.... that d90 reminds me of them d5000.crappy

[AndrzejReynolds]

@mariuszpl88 Napiszę Ci naszym ojczystym językiem :P Według mnie lepiej zakupić D90 z lepszym szkłem (bądź drugim), niż kupować D7000. Niby D7000 wniosło trochę nowości, ale nie są one warte tysiąca złotych.

Ogółem lepiej sprawdzają się zestawy starsze body + porządniejsze obiektywy :)

A Nikkor 50mm ze światłem 1.8 pasuje, każdy Nikkor będzie pasował do Nikona :)

[jsherlock21]

I have both a D90 and D7000 and the best one camera I have used by far is the D7000 top notch... low light, high ISO best I have seen. Next time show the D90 and D7000 side by side for a better video. Thanks again..

[rukaxmiku]

IT'S NOT "NAI-KON"... it's "NIIIII-KON!!!!"

[sirraplease]

d90 is a great camera, it's a bang for your buck.

[MrPlaystationboy]

Im kinda confused is the d7000 a d300s replacement or a d90 replacment ...it has features like d300s but the build qualety is not as good

[QQQQcon]

@MrPlaystationboy replacement for the d90, the d300s has better build and is quicker, but only the most extreme outdoor photographers really need a d300s build.

[kunwar9899401419]

@QQQQcon Dont agree with you at all on this. For the difference of the price between the D90 and D7000 I would recommend to get the D90 and the 35 1.8G and 50 1.8G or the 85 1.8D.. these lens will help get better pics than what the D7K can do alone. Those improvements are only features which help in managing and not really taking better pics. the only feature i find worthwhile is the dual Memory card but still not worth the price diff..all IMHO

[QQQQcon]

@kunwar9899401419 you can have your own opinion, i still dont agree with you.

[Uscbryan949]

On the d90 you don't have to dig through the menu to change settings and it has the focus motor built in.

[Uscbryan949]

I have had my d90 for a year and a half. Love it but I think I'm going to sell it and get the d7000. I have started photographing sports and I think the higher iso for the night practice along with a few more megapixels will make it easier to crop a little if my lens isn't long enough. But anybody looking that can't afford the 7000 get the d90 before the 5100. I had the d5000 for a few weeks and returned it for the 90 mainly because the 90 h

[ctenochaetus]

How can you compare two dissimilar cams ? D90 introduce on 2008 and D7000 on 2010 off course d7000 has better sensor and technology over d90. Let people who already have d90 to by happy with it and the one that they gonna get d7000 to be happy twice.

[QQQQcon]

@ctenochaetus they arent dissimilar, the d7000 is the d90 replacement thus people may want to know what new advantages the d7000 has over it predecessor. makes perfect sense.

[ctenochaetus]

@QQQQcon You just said it ... it's a replacement so that's the answer and replacement means better sensor + more futures. That's my opinion thanks.

[entouchgraphics]

@PashaElectro You sir, are an idiot.

[ssiisonit]

@MrKokoveli 1200 with 55-300 and 18 105 lens, bought it at Navy Exchange.

[ssiisonit]

Well I bought the D90 and have no complaints, I ordered the d700, but it was on backorder for 3 months so I finally cancelled the ordered. Before I was shooting with my d70 and a d40x. I bought it to save money, because I hear soon a d800 is in the pipeline, with estimated 35 megapixel and video.

[0brucelee]

@ssiisonit por favor me puedes decir como se llama la cámara de 35 megapíxeles por favor :P

[AcornBurrka]

man you make the D90 look like crap. D90 is still an awesome camera. Don't make it sound like it's a fuji camera :\

[CARLOSMA51199]

The NIKON D90 IS THE BEST CAMERA

[SqueeG19]

d7000 blows the d90 out of the water. i have used both and the d7000 performs insaaaanely better in low light over the d90

[pfeitosa]

@PashaElectro Sorry pal, you haven't compared them extensivelly.

[MegaUniboy]

what lens is that



[QQQQcon]

@PashaElectro ha, I think just about everyone knows that is not true.

[ppbellouk]

As described earlier d90 is for amateur to pro.. D7000 is for pro but to basic for it's features.... That is why d90 has high rating because u get good value for money with features fit for pro...

[kenlor71]

With all the hype about the camera, do any of the viewers take into serious consideration that the quality of the lens plays an even bigger role in the quality of your images? The D90 is a great start to shooting successful projects, paired with quality glass, proper lighting and a stable exposure (ie a tripod) I think that people would do better by buying a new D90 (warranty) and a couple very good used lenses. Its the image not the camera that matters.

[kenlor71]

I have used my D90 for a number of commercial projects, including magazine shoots, covers, portraits etc. I have no problem with the quality and neither do my clients. I don't need superfast focus (my subjects aren't moving) nor do I need video. I don't find the upgrades in the D7000 all that significant for me, but I would consider buying one. If I wanted an increase in quality I would go and shoot 6x7 film, since I already have the equipment and save the $1100.

[sebreebolge]

arrrghhh wish i didnt watch this, bought my d90 before the d7000 came out :(

[blueridgeboy831]

I sold my D90 and upgraded to the D7000.... Beyond happy with the upgrade!

[UssSamuG]

OMG you should use gloves.. after 1min 16sec I feel no more.. need to watch this video..

[eyeoftiger101]

@WTFisThatKid can you see it? I do not see it it's like chopped off or something

[swwright87]

@tardis1996 Americans.....

[eyeoftiger101]

Where's the rest of the tripods third leg?

[WTFisThatKid]

@eyeoftiger101 you,sir,fail.

[den0712]

which one is better D90 + nikon 10-24mm or D7000 + tamron 10-24mm? :D

[jjdbest7]

D7K is WAAAAY better than the D90, stop trying to find excuses if you don't have $1,200 get a D90 and don't say is better than D7K because it is not. I have it with a battery grip and 35mm 1.8g and my pictures are AMAZING!! i was debating between the D7K and D300s, the only thing better on the D300s is the size which is why I got the battery grip, extra battery and still ended up spending less then what the D300s body cost. don't get the 18-105mm get a $200 35mm 1.8g and see what the D7K can do!

[KO03HR]

Pół godziny pieprzenia obok statywu...

[alesobenes]

d7000 is better.

[scupking]

The D90 is still a great camera. Just ordered a D90 body last night for $765. I didn't want to pay $1250 for just the D7000 body.

[l0v3y0u19]

@scupking hey where did you order d90 for $765?

[scupking]

@l0v3y0u19

I bought it at B&H.

[axrafk]

@l0v3y0u19: Hey Amazon is selling it for $750 while Nikon website has a refurbished one at $ 719. Having used D90, even a pre-owned performs like new. You can find plenty used at $600 on craiglist. Goodluck.

[l0v3y0u19]

@axrafk thank you so much for the reply and advice. but i still lack money. need to work hard for the moment. :D anyways, thank you again.

[jeraldy23]

@scupking You could've gotten the D7000 Body for $699 at Nextag.com

[hahatrainwr3ck]

@scupking i paid 600.00 for mine, baddest cam ive ever had. i own a dslr to take pictures not video 1080p doesnt excite me too much. i also can't justify 20+ focus points. only thing i'd like about d7k over d90 is the 100% viewfinder.

[grated801]

@scupking that d90 is crapy compared to the d7000.d7000 is full hd which the d90 aint...

[scupking]

@grated801

Thats nice but I don't take video with my DSLR, I take it with my nice 1080P Canon HD video camera. I have been very happy with my D90. I bought it to take pictures and it takes awesome pictures!!

[barryfitzgerald29]

@scupking

Same here I'm sure the D7000 is great but I got a D90 still a very good camera might think about a D7k later on.

D90 is quite a lot cheaper and still decent.

[limchinhuang]

the sport photography choice still be the D300s majorly because of the buffer of D7000 not big enough to allow high frame speed and SD is has slower speed compared to CF card. 

[HUSKiiTUBEN]

What lens are you using on the D7000 in this vid?

[limchinhuang]

@HUSKiiTUBEN is 14-24 f2.8

[yun514]

i was about to buy a d90 butto thinking of it d7000 seems better but the d700 that my friend had was very good but now i don't know arrrrrrgggg so cmplicated for a first good camera

[rafama95]

aaarrrrgggghhhh...what to buy? i initially thought D5100 is great for a beginner like me but my friends recommended D90 which is more expensive and reviews say it is more for a PRO, which i wish to attain (at least pro-thusiast). Then this D7000 which vs amazon price is same here PH (normally so much more expensive here). i just wonder how long it would take me to maximize the investment if i get D7000.

[Jolinator]

what kind of tripod is that? looks very nice!

[mommaification]

can we fit a 50mm 1.8d lens and 70-300mmlens?

[bastard4525]

After some time d7000 will suck compared to some newer model.

Buy such an expensive camera only if you NEED almost 100% of the extras it offers you.

[fox428]

Thank you! thats what i was looooking for! A reaaallly big thanks for this review... But, um.. get a manikure or something.... WOMEN do look at hands..

[manthans]

which is the cam ur using for video recording

[dah7772]

I just upgraded from D90 to D7000 and only gripe I have is the hand grip on D7000 seems smaller or at least not as deep. Anyone else feel same way?

[AnsVolckaerts]

Thank you so much for this video! You have been a great help to me, now I bought the D7000 instead of the D90, and I am very glad!

[AnsVolckaerts]

[pinoykillah18]

ur awsome

[edpannewyork]

cool..

[Tahiki6]

is the d7000s body bigger then d90s body

[QQQQcon]

@Tahiki6 not all that different

[Tahiki6]

@QQQQcon Thx, for answering:)

l0v3 your reviews..:)

[faustoleuci]

@Tahiki6 yes

[staceytisdale]

Do you have any reviews or opinions of the Nikon D5100?? Wish I could afford this D7000 but it's out of my price range

[QQQQcon]

@staceytisdale I will review it with a couple of weeks

[camshaft33]

Is this Ferris Bueller ?

[smileshafiu]

So that means D7000 is best ..

Thanks

[smileshafiu]

So that means D7000 is best ..

Thanks

[kragmutt]

What's the point of multiple autofocus points if you can simply hold the autofocus point on the subject, hold the shutter halfway, then recompose the image?

[1SNTCC]

@kragmutt when you're recompose the image, the moment may have past.

[jooletzku7]

Ive just sold my very first dslr which was d3000 and looking for an upgrade. You uploading this video really helped. Most of my friends have the d90 but i read some stuff on the internet and after watching your video i think i will get the D7000! thanks bro!

[MegaOmarte]

hola puede ser un tuturial en español oh cual es mas conveniente la 7000 o la d 90

[alvines22528]

there is issues with this camera(d7000) ,hot pixels.i'm on my second camera already and the store is trying fix it.before you buy this, test it on high iso setting.i'm so disappointed with this.my d60 is still flawless after 2 yrs of torture. 

[alvines22528]

[soumyo1980]

Excellent review..no 2nd thot on that..

BUT

see the point is

1) if we want HD VDO then we shud get a VDO camera... If u have a car 99% people will use it to drive , only 1% will use it for stunts... Similarly a still camera is for still images only..

2) We DONT need speed more than 3fps..

3) Apart from the sensor & camera, we are overlooking the lens...We can get a 70-300mm lens or whatever later if we can save the money...

4) U can always get the D3X if u have the extraaaaa money..

[anticwar]

does d7000 come with the lens?

[QQQQcon]

@anticwar depends if you get it with a lens

[naturalfreakkk]

so if u need to choose between d5100 and d90...which one u will take...?

[jeraldy23]

@naturalfreakkk D90 is better than the D5100 just saying! But if you can afford it...i would go for the D7000

[Flyingballsacks]

@naturalfreakkk go for the d90 because the d5100 doesnt have an autofocus motor. meaning you'll have to buy AF-s lenses in order to get autofocus. d90 has good low iso capabilities not too sure how well the d5100 performs in low light

[BigRooster747]

How is it possible you are paying for all this stuff?

[QQQQcon]

@BigRooster747 I rent the gear

[tryandlike]

@QQQQcon

thats alot of money to rent .... just ask the company to send you a sample.

[ZRulz18]

what about the sensor?

[AmazOnaFly]

love your explication =) i was thinking to buy the D90 but now im changing my idea... THANKS!

Oh! and your photos are amazing on your web! I hope i can get so good as you are ;)

kisses from Spain :D

[fingerboardpt]

D90 shoots 4.5 fps NOT 4

[Resonanttheme]

What brand is the tripod you are using?

[QQQQcon]

@Resonanttheme gitzo

[photopilotjosh47]

In the future, I wish to get D7000, Thanks for sharing your opinion Conner

[bigfatdick5000]

Last Sunday, I had to choose between Nikon d7000 and d90, and at the and I 've bought the d90. cus it's still cheaper for my first D-SLR camera !!

[soumyo1980]

@bigfatdick5000 exactly.. & u can use the extra money later for gettin a new & better lens in the future.... This review is good but biased..

[Miketamine]

who cares about speed ? omfg i care about image quality even if it shoots 1 fps !

[Dark0Temptation]

There are nog comparison photo's on your given website! Where can I find those?

[QQQQcon]

@Dark0Temptation go to the nikon d7000 High ISO Samples images video and the link is in the description.

[Dark0Temptation]

@QQQQcon When I go to galleries there are no comparisons... Can you give me a direct link?

[lewiscifer999]

I used the D90 for close to a year and I love it, yesterday I picked up the D7000 and I agree with 100%! I'm now using the two of them!

[jigariguruli]

can D7000 zoom when u r recording a video?

thanks

[QQQQcon]

@jigariguruli you can manually zoom, but that is standard with all dslrs

[irishdrummer85]

Great review! It's awesome that you did this video, thanks so much!

[HuricaneBriii]

hi im planning on getting my first DSLR camera in march and i was planning on getting THe D90, is it really worth the wait and money for the D7000?!?!?!

[digitaldarkroomimage]

If you are going to purchase a DSLR and are mainly interested in image quality you don't need the D7000 The IQ (image quality) of my 6.1 megapixel ccd sensor antique D70S is on the same level with that of the D7000, and so is the D90.

This megapixel cramming on cropped sensors actually has a degrading effect on image quality.

I find the video on my D90 very good and requires a learning curve because it doesn't Af in video mode.

My D90 can easily shoot at ISO 3200 which is more than enough. 

[antropoloscar]

i bought a D90,the video sucks.i droped it and the chase broke..right now its a NIKON were they charged me 354 dollars to ''fix it''..they never said what is it that they are ''fixing'' ..but 3554 dolllars only to replace the plastic face of the D90...i am selling i as soon as i get it back and switching CANON,i feel robbed

[outdoorsman567]

Hey Conor, great video.  I've been pretty torn between these two models for some time now. It will be my first SLR, and although I'm sure the d90 is great, I don't have a lot to spend, and want to make the purchase count. My question is about the weather sealing. I live in the wet NW, and plan to do my shooting outdoors (hiking, climbing etc). Is there really a significant difference between the sealing on the two, or would I be fine with the d90?

Thanks

(excellent photos on the website too)!

[QQQQcon]

@outdoorsman567 if you take it out into rain or heavy fog or dust it will make a difference in the long run

[MK4vDubbin]

@outdoorsman567 D7000 has a magnesium back reminiscent of higher end models, but is not ALL magnesium. This, however, only makes a difference if the camera should get banged around. Neither the D90 nor the 7000 are weather sealed so if that's what your really interested in, you may want to check out a Pentax K5 or K7 for the price range your in.

[MK4vDubbin]

I also disagree about the whole thought that "because the 7000 came out, the D90 is going to drop in price". The D90 may be a few years old but is still a relevant camera, one that is still better than a lot of cameras for the money. They are still extremely high in demand, so its going to take a while until you start to see a significant price drop. That aside, the 7000 is not an official replacement for the 90 anyways, its just thought to be because its somewhat similar.

[Alvathiger]

I want a d7000. :D

[QQQQcon]

@ClientSeven I do have the facts straight, it does have a plastic body and metal chassis, but many cameras do even some compact cameras so I dont mention it, this chassis is very different from the d7000s build which is much better. arguing about whether something is am amateur or not is pointless and really doesnt matter and I already know the d90 can produce better images than the d300.

[drodenbar]

can it shoot higher fps with a battery grip?

thank you

[QQQQcon]

@drodenbar not it cant

[drodenbar]

@QQQQcon thank you very much. just bought this camera and i LOVE it

[pjwheelr]

Just curious, what camera did you shot this video with?

[QQQQcon]

@pjwheelr an old video camera

[NedKelly5580]

Great review!

[NedKelly5580]

What is with the NY-KON pronunc. It is NIK-ON. as in Nicholas it isn't Nycholas. Odd.

[bigluttz]

Forget canon for video get the Red scarlete forget the mark 2 it's about the same price.....but only if you serious about video....great review d7000 rules....

[sergiothatguy]

I've found the D90's video to be very soft. Is this issue corrected with the D7000? I was considering switching to Canon strictly for the video and getting a 5D Mark II

[QQQQcon]

@sergiothatguy if you want strictly video, canon is better right now.

[sergiothatguy]

@QQQQcon Yeah i might switch. Thanks for replying

[panzarw]

QQQQcon what lenses to you own and how did you earn money for them?

[solidius02]

if the price is not far from d300s the il better choose d300s piece of craft the d7000.. still for amatuer...waste of money...il still stick with d90 cos i can get same outcome with that amatuer gold camera and much more...

[callmequeenbee]

Thanks for video I"m currently trying to decide between the two. Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time!

[smartboy9t]

thank you sir! you have been a great help. i was about to buy d90 but the way you have explained it. am going to wait and hopefully will buy the D7000.

p.s however still tempted to buy d90..... its gorgeous lol

[ericatregh1027]

The price of the d90 drops more than a hundred dollars in 1 month alone here in Israel. but it doesn't make any sense to me cos i'm waiting for the d7000 to arrive. finally i got an email notification from reliable online store that they have it in stock... the price blown me away. its ridiculously high.. $2,150!!!! body only! beat that shit!

[WorldofCornelius]

Nice review.

[yowu7446]

d90 is half the price!?

[opeth84]

The D7000 is two times the price than the D90 and they are not the same category.

The D90 is a great deal nowadays partly because of the D7000.

[martinaee]

@opeth84 exactly... If you know what you are doing it's not like you are going to see amazingly better images from a D7000 vs. a D90.

Sure, overall the camera is better, but for still images at low iso you are still going to get amazing images with the D90. The fact that people trash "last years" camera as soon as a new camera is brought out shows that Nikon and Canon's marketing departments are doing a great job.

[pangoo]

4:21 should have taken a picture :P

[vessalio]

I love my D3000, is the best for me

[666inquisition666]

You don't know anything about a D300s...

[chopper82p]

@666inquisition666 You are stupid...

[GrimsditchImages]

I keep seeing videos where people say the D7000 has a magnesium alloy body, but only the top and back are magnesium. (google search "d7000 magnesium"). I'm not saying it's not an awesome camera, but I think this is important to know.

[jstir11]

d300s without battery grip is 7 bucco ;) d300 is 6:P

[QQQQcon]

@jstir11 your right, my bad

[eLLriDe420]

d90!

[tony77tony77]

how about the d300s? will u buy the d7000 over the d300s?

[QQQQcon]

@tony77tony77 i am adding that video now, it should be up in a few hours

[heuykiller]

Thanks! Thinking of updating from my D90 to the D700 when I can afford it :P
