I have a D700 and D7100 and D300 ......... after using the FX D700 for bird photography where big crops are the order of the day I can say that the DX extra reach is just an illusion .... it is a "digital" crop ...... any improvement in IQ can only be achieved with glass, IMHO
I can now understand why Nikon are only producing semi pro and pro cameras with a FX sensor whether it be 24 meg or 36 meg
Always one step behind, can't afford a new body like that.
Mine was stolenThis D7000 spot has gone very very quiet, last posting in November last year, has everyone moved on to other models or have you all exhausted the 7000's capabilities?
Hi John, my d7k was awesome with the 35mm prime. Never had any issues at all with it and it was super quick to focus which was usually spot on. If you find some of my pics on here and go through my photostream, you will find loads of pics from this combination.
Recently sold mine, not sure if I made a mistake or not. I swapped for size issues, but tbh, I kind of miss the bulk and ease of use. I can see a d7100 on the horizon I believe.
Have fun with your new toy John, it can be a super performer!
Hey, thanks. Now you're local to me, if you want a hand then just give us a shout and I'll have a wander over.
You'll love it imo, it's so much easier to use than the 3 and 5 thousand series cameras. Most things are on the body and easily accessed without delving into menus etc.
John,I have a Nikon 35mm 1.8 and get the distinct impression that the D7000 doesn't really like it too much from reading this thread and others. So do I get a 50mm 1.8 but will it be the same -- being a prime? One of my thoughts had been to sell my 35mm and get a Nikon 40mm macro, or Sigma 50mm macro not so much for macro (because of too close working distance) but to double up as a low light but be able to focus in closer than either the 35 or 50mm.
Help would be good?

John,
I've never had any issues with my 35mm 1.8 on D7000. This is my fave shot from that combo.

I'm not a pro by any stretch, but i still like that shot.
Have you reset all the settings on the new body? Maybe someone has been in and fiddled with the Auto Focus fine tune settings? You can change these per lens.
I think it's a brand new body.
No problems with my D7000 and the 35mm f1.8 either, lovely combo. In fact I've never had any problems with any lens I've put on it, fantastic body at a bargain basement price at the moment IMHO.
