Nikon D7000

No sign of it being shipped yet..

.. remind me never to order from Jessops again.
 
Mine says 'Dispatched' now, but it took it's time updating. (about 4 oclock this afternoon, not now now).

I considered a 7100, but didn't think the extra £200 was worth it (after cashback), the 7000 has slightly better DR on the sensor, not bothered about the lower pixael count, and my older software supports it.

I'm going to call in the AM and cancel. I hate it when companies mess people about, shows lack of respect for the customer, I might as well go for a cheap D7100 grey import instead.
 
Yeah I posted a piccy in the 'New gear/willy waving' thread. I've been trying to get my head around the billion new controls and menu items. I've managed to set up back-button focusing but I've also set up a 'standard focus auto-everything' in U1 so if I have to hand over to the missus I don't have to explain anything. Very pleased with the pictures, a massive leap in quality from my old Sony A200.

I discovered my version of PS (4) ACR doesn't support the D7000, the next ACR which does only works with PS5. The Adobe DNG converter doesn't work properly, it doesn't seem to be able to see the files (neither the NEF or the much older ARW from the Sony), although it did once pick them up, the converted files had some wierd colour artifacts. So I'm stuck with ViewNX for the moment which is very slow. I might go back to PaintShop Pro.
 
Chaps, you can get NEF viewers for windows from the Nikon website. A decent, free RAW viewer is RAWtherepee - very powerful. One method is to save your files as 16-bit Tiff from viewNX, as viewNX has the nifty adjustment for D-Lighting (not accessible in non-nikon software). A Canon friend of mine has a workflow of RAW > TIFF > Photosop. He uses a commercial RAW editor for simple editing like shadows and highlight removal, the rest of his work is done in PS as an uncompressed 16-bit TIFF.
