Well, after 3 years of ownership of a Nikon D40, I decided it was about time I upgraded to something newer

I was deciding between a 5100 or the D7000 , but in the end I decided from a D40 to the D5100 wasent a worthwhile upgrade, so I went a bit further and ordered a D7000

so who wlse has got one and what did you upgrade from ?
 
It must be Monday already as my D7000 is here!

been at work all day, but just had a quick run through the menus etc and blimey lots more features, and different wording to the D40, love the idea onf the LCD at the top of the camera that the full frame oones seem to have.

The layout is a little different, bigger and heavier (due to the D40 not having a motor for the lens) all in all, i think i might be pleased, off to goodwood tommorow, hopeing to take some good pics with it!
 
hmm, just took some shots, same subject, same distance, same lens, and the d7000 ones are blured and the d40 ones are fine

i can only assume the viewfinder has a wheel that makes it in or out of focus, it could be out slightly?

using a 70-300 VR lens at 300 at the time

I "Think" i now know why...

my D40's ISO is set to 200, and for some reason its on AUTO (no idea how to change it to auto) i have never realised that ive been shooting at different ISO's

i managed to check the image data , and at this time of night, shotting at ISO 100 on my D7000 came up quite dark! so i was going WTF! lol

so i guess thats a contributing factor, becuase it thinks theres not much light the shutter speed dropped, so it was doing 1/5 at ISO 100
 
Been to Goodwood today, i had my D7000 linked up to my 18-55, only just come home and had some food, and ill look through the photos tommorow and upload a few
 
Is it possible to turn off the light when you focus?
just wondering incase if people say its flash photography isn't allowed when im on holiday tomorrow

Thanks
