Digital Home Thoughts: Nikon D7000 Early Review

"This review not to go over the specs, movies, AI metering, FPS of the Nikon D7000; instead we will talk about the camera handling, auto focus, image quality, etc. I am not here to bash or stop you from getting the Nikon D7000. In fact you can order the kit here and the body only here.My reason for getting a D7000 was for me to have a backup to my D700; in case of an emergency or just for casual use."

As the Nikon D7000 trickles out to the stores, the reviews are starting to pop up. Here's one by a working professional; I do have a little concern in using the term sharpness in reviewing output quality; there's resolution, and there's edge contrast, the latter which many people use to describe "sharpness". It's too easy to mislead apparent resolution by using some smart sharpening techniques (by smart I don't mean dialling up the sharpness to 11 either). Still, the high ISO looks impressive, and I now can't wait for the release of the D400, or whatever the D300s successor is going to be called.
