Is this a commercial for Nikon?

[TheAwesomeness7777]

canon 7d all the way

7D is fucked up in higher ISO

My J E S U S you are useless. Quite clearly you are bias. You own a d7000.

Anyone who's used the two pick the 7D in REAL reviews.

You read info and regurgitate. You hardly do the testing yourself. You're a complete nuisance and I really hope people don't base big purchase decisions on anything you spit out.

I had both. Miss the easiness of switching through and changing the settings on the D7000 BUT love the video on the 7D. I really wish Nikon would have the same video mode. Both damn good camera's. Would recommend the d7000 for newer users.

By the way...it's megaBITS per second...not BYTES.

Up into half the video, this guy was truthful, the specs were perfect...but then he turned into a Nikon commercial... He started missing little specs that were better on the 7D... Like a FULL magnesium body on the 7D and only partial on the D7000... Why would Nikon get a point there? Except for weight, the 7D is more sturdy.

rulerofwax24 is wrong. For someone looking to get into DLSR for the first time but want to leap over the entry level rebel this range of camera comparision is what im looking for.

I like the video but its too long for the amount of information learned.

Thanks,

7000 vs 7 is pointless. If you are considering either, you would already have a more basic DSLR and glass. Anyone who would end up going straight in to DSLR's with one of these, it wouldn't matter what they got. They just have enough money to go for the fanciest shit and not care.

@netjunkie9 He's talking about high-ISO noise. Other types of image quality have more to do with the lens and the photographer's skill. I've done paid gigs using everything from a 6-mp Nikon D50, to a Canon Rebel, and all the way up to the $3000-cameras, and customers can't tell the difference if the photographer uses good glass and knows what he's doing. For the most part, the camera body is a box for the lens to sit on. As far as overall image clarity goes, the Nikon is no better than Canon.

[netjunkie9]

What is "image quality" in this context? Is he talking about sharpness of the raw images before post-processing? High-ISO noise? Color? What?

[eimaiomixalis]

...the truth!
