Nikon D7000..... dope!

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

Just when I was considering moving to Canon for the 7D, 60D, or 5DMK2... Nikon Releases the D7000. I get a week to try it out and so far I gotta say Nikon is shitting on all cameras in the Low-Light game! Amazing, i'll try and upload some footage when I can. Continuous AutoFocus is another perk, The only thing I don't like....there's no 60fps @ 1080p for faster motion, maybe thatll be addressed in a firmware update..

im pretty sure none of the Canons do 60fps @1080

what lens are you using with it

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

18-55mm and 50mm f/1.4... The whole rig setup pretty much emptied out my pockets lol

 

[Infantry Elite]

im assuming that f/1.4 wasnt exactly cheap either

autofocus sucks...haha

 

[Nevasoba]

I love my canon 50mm f/1.4! Shits a lowlight beast!

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

my mistake it was the f/1.8... and I came up on it for $60. Its helpful if youre lazy like me and dont like to keep pullin focus haha

yes its a lowlight machine, the nikon one is super sharp

 

[Infantry Elite]

oooh ok, i have the f/1.8 for my T2i, shit is beautiful and was like $96


@Nevasoba how much did that f/1.4 hit you for?

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

i got a 9ft jib setup on a manfrotto video tripod i got both for $125 and I'm getting a steady cam... i really wanna get a 7" marshall LCD comes in handy on the jib

i wish i had more money to get equipment, hella dont though so ive been buying everything on a budget. i have a small hague stabilizer that actually works really well....depending on what youre trying to shoot and the weather haha

i plan on building around this camera for a while though

@Nevasoba how much did that f/1.4 hit you for?

Mine was like close to $400 I think....I know the f/1.8s are cheaper but if you have the bread its well worth it.....pretty soon I'ma try to upgrade all my glass

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

i'm on a budget too which is why im considering building a steadycam lol.. i got hooked up with a bolex light for free with the tripod i got off craigslist.

i believe i seen that one and decided that i needed to save the $300 right now. i definitely plan on upgraded all my glass when i can though. for what i do the glass is almost more important than the camera itself

 

[Nevasoba]

for what i do the glass is almost more important than the camera itself

Yeah actually I'm pretty sure glass is always more important....lenses dont depreciate in value while cameras get bumped off like every 4-6 months LOL

 

[Infantry Elite]

good point haha

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

glass is always the best investment... ALWAYS

 

[iaoish]

Damn, yall are rich, lol

all I have is some f/4,5 lenses.
I need a power up.

 

[Nevasoba]

I still have my 70-200 f/4...cant let it go LOL

 

[CHAPO GUZMAN]

im not rich lol.. i got a 50mm f/1.8 and a the 18-55 that came with my nikon d40.. i need a wide angle and good telephoto and im good, maybe a faster non-prime lens too.. at the end of the day good LIGHTING not lenses or camera make the picture look top notch

 

[3deanhg]

Im reanting a d7000 in a few days to test it out..

 

[3deanhg]

at the end of the day good LIGHTING not lenses or camera make the picture look top notch
