Comparison between a Canon 7D and a Nikon D7000

In my opinion the real competitor to the Canon 7D is the Nikon D7000. In the RRP the Canon 7D is supposed to be $350 more expensive, however the prices have come down and in my opinion the 7D is still a better buy....but not by much (keep in mind that these two DSLR's are not designed for the same market). The Nikon D7000 is supposed to be paired against the Canon 60D, however, we believe that Canon 60D cannot match Nikon D7000. Let’s take a look at the Comparison between a Canon 7d and a Nikon D7000 Review especially if you enjoy video recording.

I have to admit even though I am a Canon user; the colors and sharpness are far superior on the Canon 7d as opposed to the Nikon D7000. In spite of many photographers saying that they prefer the Nikon D7000, probably due to the camera being less expensive the Canon 7d has still showed far more popularity. When it comes to video quality the Canon really stands apart. So if video quality is an important factor then obviously the Canon 7D SLR would be the better option. The Nikon D7000 is better looking with a new design and it is lighter, but the design is not what counts, the features and quality of the shots count. Let’s take a look at the canon 7D first and see what is on offer as there are a host of brand new features:

• For professional and semi professional photographers the 7d now features a 18.0 megapixel APS-C with a CMOS sensor as well as a dual DIGIC 4 image processor
• Can capture images of ISO 12800
• Speeds of up to 8 frames per second
• Comes with a cross type nineteen point AF system
• Has an intelligent view finder which a new technology that provides full coverage and displays
• Has AF modes as well as comes with a spot metering circle as well as on demand grid lines
• The Canon 7d has a new iFCL metering with a 63 zone dual layer metering system which allows for both color and metering information as well as provides the photographer with accurate exposure even in poor lighting conditions
• This digital SLR captures full HD at 30p, 24p as well as 25p with a host of manual controls and manual exposure while shooting and also has ISO speed selection
• The Canon comes with a magnesium alloy body
• The 7d is weather resistant as well as dust free and has a shutter durability of around 150,000 cycles
• The Canon 7d is compatible with EF-S and 60 EF lenses and EOS system accessories

When it comes to the Comparison between a Canon 7d and a Nikon D7000 the Canon has been the top choice. The Canon not only features new external controls but also has a view finder to accompany the large prism. The key features are the 18mp APS-C CMOS sensor, the eight fps continuous shooting, 1080p HD video recording with manual controls and wireless flash control as well as much more that makes this camera really stand out when it comes to quality.

Now let’s take a look at the comparison between a Canon 7d and a Nikon D7000, as the Nikon now has come out and made room for itself on the marketplace. A new feature the Nikon now has is a continuous shooting button which has now become a secondary dial.  The D7000 has only been released in October in the USA and only the body costs around $1 199.95. Here is a description of the Nikon D7000:

• The Nikon D7000 is a DX format camera which has a compact body and has new advanced features
• This SLR has the ability to capture HD images as well as quality images
• The compact body allows you to capture HD and high quality shooting
• The camera has features such as DX format CMOS image sensor
• An imaging process engine
• Ex-speed 2
• 16 megapixels sensor
• Comes with a 2,016 pixel metering sensor
• Has an AF system that utilizes thirty nine focus points
• Has a D movie function that allows for recording of HD movies

The Nikon D7000 has improved and there has been many new additional features added due to customer demand. This SLR camera now fits in with user demands and comes with a HD as well as quality shooting definition. This Nikon now allows users to produce professional image quality and in addition now has additional accessories and lenses. In my opinion the d7000 sits below the Canon 7D but above Canon 60d (but not by much).
