Nikon D7000 vs D90

That Nikon Guy (Matt Granger) reviews the Nikon D7000 and the 18-105mm VR kit lens. Hands on review featuring ISO test, and video shooting.

The D7000 is compared to the D90, and the D300s.

The 18-105mm is compared to the 24-70mm.

Which is best? What should you buy?

 a cuestión d7000 its a full frame?

[thatnikonguy]

@hanzeln no, same sensor size as D90

[trackend]

The hi iso's on the D7K are a gimmick and terribly noisy I would have preffered a lower iso of 50 like the old Ilford pan f for low grain technical use and longer exposures

[thatnikonguy]

@trackend Go for the D3x :)

[kmedina419]

you should never expand the iso higher than the native stay awat from anything higher than 6400

[thatnikonguy]

@kmedina419 sure - and I lvoe fast lenses. But to me personally, it is no hassle to boost.

i dont understand why anyone would ever shoot at those two super high ISO settings. Its just ridiculous...arguably, every camera shoots 'mud'....i've shot with a D3, which obviously has better ISO performance than the d7000, but still, almost never go about 1600 ISO, and rarely above 800 on my D7k

Hi i am new to looking up reviews;~)

I need advice badly as i have been stung already! A costly mistake.. I have just got the D7000 & need to know a good lens for short mid.... I love portraits & tend to close up on all i take so bokeh must be good ~ also i have looked at hundreds of reviews & no one tells what are the best 2 or 3 lens to carry (so many to choose) now as you point out a GOOD lens i need PLEASE help ~ i am think 50mm 1.4G? And then a small zoom 18 105 kit? ps KIT? Best M

@thatnikonguy and the 7000 have lesss noise in high ISO? today i test a nikon d90 just with the light of the room no flash and it was so noise as a d60 and get those green tones that comes when the light its no good

but here in mexico the nikon d90 new in box (in mexico city its about $850 US dollars) its a good deal us to cost the double

[Moemay9]

Matt, nice review. But I found that the high ISO test is a bit miss leading. Because in real life shooting, when you are shooting in extreme low light condition such as a poorly lite street or inside of a pub. I found that most apsc/crop sensor does poorly anything above ISO 3200. That is when your photos become really noisy. Just my experience

[snigrg00]

Hi, I have tight budget and your video was reallly helpful. I have done bit of phtography but this will be my first dslr. if I buy the the d7000 I cannot afford to buy any other lenses, except for the default 18-105 vr. How ever if I buy the the d90 i can afford to spend some money on other lenses. I was hoping you could suggest two lenses for each of the camera's which will cater to most photography need and will give good all round performance.

[TheStompbox]

How in the world do you expect photos to look good at that high ISO? Im a fairly new photographer and even i know that if you want good looking photos in low light you should try get get it looking good using aperture and shutter speed first. Then you adjust the ISO if you really need too. Every camera is going to suck at 25K ISO. If you know what your doing you should rarely have to go above 3200.

[TheTaroTalkTime]

Your a fucking moron. Of course its gonna be mud. What do you expect at such ISO. God Im an amateur and I know better. Trolololol
