More here for you.

One thing I don't like about the new prosumer Nikons is the position of the DoF preview button. Why it isn't in the normal, mechanically sensible place and is replaced by a function button is weird and confusing.

Something that puzzles me and a few others judging by the correspondence in camera mags is that once you get into a certain price bracket you also get a HD movie option as standard. As I am not interested in HD movies, if I were I would buy a dedicated unit, I am effectively paying for a facility I don't want and would not use. One of the reasons why I gave this price bracket a miss

i understand what you mean with the hd movie mode, but i feel that all dslr will be using this soon, there is a big push to make the pro sector hd movie people look at dslrs

even simon king is using the canon d7 coms sensor ( dx) and full frame d5 mkii to make movies, taking advantage of the crop factor and long lens, and some other bits

i am in the market for a second body and have a d40x, 2 d70s and a d700, love the d700 its just so amazing, but would love a dx sensor pro body d300s but then came the d7000 good specs but just dont like the feel, love my d70s like you ken and just like the d700 a joy to hold, the finder on the d700 is graet nice and bright,some of the results from the d7000 look good but think i will wait for a d400?? just to see which direction nikon are taking the new sensor?? bet it has hd movie!! 1080 or the new d4?? best get saving



Dave i have an old 50mm AI-S f1.8 manual focus on my d700 and it is stunning, sharp the good thing about the fx range is the ability to use older lenses

Giving the photo edge a soft look tends to focus the interest in the subject, nice one

Bit of a long shot here...

Ref the D7000 and D700...I use a Nikon-fit Sigma f2.8 105mm macro lens, but it seems that apparently the Sigma will not match up with either the D7000 or the D700...Anybody found this to be the case?
