Has anyone bought the MB-D11 grip yet ? Seems like they can be had for about £230 from a UK seller now. Still bloody expensive but I really want one!

no it never does..It didn,t on my d300 either...it only shows ,like you said..markHi , 1st post on here although I have been lurking for a while . I got a D7000 on Monday as an upgrade to my D5000 . I haven't had a chance to use it properly yet but I wonder if anyone can answer a quick question on the sensor cleaning please ? On my D5000 I set the sensor cleaning option to clean everytime I switched the camera off and it shows a sensor cleaning display in the rear panel everytime I switched the camera off . I have set the same option on my D7000 but when I switch the camera off the rear screen stays blank . If I select 'clean now' in the sensor cleaning options it shows the sensor being cleaned . Should the D7000 show that it is cleaning the sensor on shut down if that option is selected in the menu and if if doesn't how do I know that it is actually cleaning the sensor ?
Thanks in advance
John

what is bloody annoying, there is no lock on the program dial...it has moved a few times ,without me realising it ...mark.
just a quick question for you all, what are you all using on the programmable function buttons? i can't find anything more useful than changing the metering!
I see Thom Hogan has a guide about to come out...are his guides any good ?

Looking on Amazon there are three or four others coming out in the next couple of months ?
Which are generally the best ones ?

Hi everyone! Joining this Thread as I bought my D7000 last week! Upgrading from D3000. What I notice first was AF speed which is very fast ( I use 18-200 VR lens). But then image quality (sharpness) is almost the same as from D3000! :shrug: Was shooting outside using AFC and Auto. I will try to test and adjust AF fine tuning with this lens. Anyone had this problem?
Should you really be seeing a difference in sharpness? are you shooting RAW or JPEG?
I'm shooting RAW. But still I'm not impressed with sharpness.
I hate to say this, but you probably need better glass to really get the most out of the D7000. Even though the 18-200 is not bad, it's still a superzoom and isn't the sharpest glass out there. Also remember you've just gone from 10mp to 16mp which IMO will now start showing up flaws in lenses and technique.
I thought I had the same problem. I was out shooting with the 70-300VR, which is known to be soft at the 300 end, and I found that my photo's didn't appear to be quite as sharp as from my D90. However sticking my 105VR on to the D7000 showed a real improvement. Tack sharp at 100%.
More pixels needs more resolving power out of the lens. You could have a lens that's tack sharp at 10MP but looks soft at 16mp.
