Nikon D7000 in 2024 - Is it still usable in 2024??

[@alexng7673]

I am currently using the Nikon D7000 for almost 2 years now, was using the Nikon D40 before and there was no regrets at all upgrading. There are plenty of affordable F mount lenses available, especially in the secondhand market here in Malaysia. My lenses consist of the 35mm F1.8G, 50mm F1.8D and recently got the tamron 17-50mm f2.8. I mainly shoot cosplay portraits as a student freelancer and for my use case, its perfectly enough. I am currently saving up for lighting equipment as I figured its a better investment over a new body/lens. Great video!

How sharp is temeron? You have any photography page /ig account over that?

[@alexng7673]

​@@zawhernos2541Helloo, I tried to reply to your msg multiple times and it doesnt seem to come through. The tamron lens is sharp enough for me but I would recommend you to look up sample images online as I don't really look into sharpness when getting a lens. I look for budget and practicality instead.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice! You've got some solid lenses too! I appreciate you sharing your photography journey and your experience with the D7000. The Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 is a very nice lens.

I've had a D7000 for 12 years, it's a great camera. I also have the Nikkor 17-55 F2.8 lens, it's a beast but great. Full-frame lenses also work great on this body. I did recently go full-frame and mirrorless, but it was more of a want than a need. The D7000 is perfectly capable and paired with a great lens, you wouldn't be disappointed.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thank you for sharing! You had yours for a REALLY long time. I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with the D7000.

[@anthonylemon9015]

I’ve had mine for 12 years, I kept it after upgrading to a Nikon Z6. I still use it from time to time. Still a good camera. The technology has moved a long way since 2010. Could be a good starter camera. I use mine as a backup and for the older screw driven lenses. Thank you for the video.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D7000. Glad you're still using yours when you can :) Great to know another D7000 is STILL getting used.

[@ianw5119]

I’ve had a D7100 from new and still one of my favourite cameras. Use it alongside my D700 (my favourite for portraits) and my Z6. Still a solid all rounder and great for landscapes

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thanks for sharing! You've got some SOLID cameras too.

[@sounddevelop2223]

I only take photos with my excellent Nikon D 7000. I only use fixed focal lengths DX 35 mm 1.8, DX 40 mm 2.8, a wide angle 12-24 mm 2.8, as well as two full format lenses 50 mm and 85 mm 1.8. The crop factor increases the focal length up to into the telephoto range. As a fun lens I use a Fishey 2.8. The most important thing is fast lenses. The Nikon 7000 is still an excellent camera in 2024. I gradually bought all the components used at a reasonable price and is also sustainable. Manufacturers always want to go higher, faster and further. I always try to be satisfied. Every camera only takes pictures and the Nikon 7000 still does it excellently if the user can handle it and gets the most out of the camera. Thanks for the nice video. Best wishes from germany.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D7000! Glad to know how much you're using yours. You have amazing lenses as well!

[@Docjuice2021]

Best video I have seen this far in D7000. I feel so much better to keep it for photography. I have been using it to record for KZbin. I will follow your advice and get a better lens.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thank you for the kind words! The D7000 is an absurdly great camera today! It's what I use for my zoom lenses to capture distant subjects.

[@InterMaus]

Live view: you can make chages you can can see: Shutter speed and ISO. The aperture is stuck at whatever it was set to when you opened up the mirror. It is due to Nikon's legacy aperture setting litte lever, that can't move when the mirror is locked up. This is true for virtually all Nikon DSLR before a certrain date. They put little motors on that lever starting with the D810 and D750 if memory serves, those could change aperture during live view, with non E series lenses. Just for you, i went and put my 105mm f/1.4E lens on my D7000, which have an in-lens electronically operated aperture mechanism, it does change it during Live View. ps: if you meant that during M mode live view you can't see the current expose, the manual video controls need to be enabled, which in turn will turn off the ability to go below 1/30s shutter speed, go figure.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Ah! Thank you!!

[@malikdhadhalinux]

It is a great camera. I bought my first one when it first came out all the way back in late 2010. I loved it. Used it until the LCD stopped working. Then bought another from eBay back in 2021. Both are now broken but I have captured many of my favourite images using it. I love the analog style look of the files. I must say at lower ISOs the files are just wonderful. I prefer the look of the D7000 to my other cameras D7200/D750 and the Z6. I just might buy another one.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Whoa! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D7000. I remember a relative buying one back when it was released and I was astounded at how amazing the images looked. Now, it's still an amazing camera to use :D 100% agree with you about the image quality using lower ISOs!

[@Tmq1998]

Have my D7000 for around 10 years now! The lcd display is losing it around the edges though!

[@SUPERSS90]

I only use 3 cameras Nikon D90, Nikon D700, and Nikon D7000. I love them all..

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Nice!! You've got SOLID cameras right there!

[@LaximboGD]

I would love to see an updated video of the nikon d5100. especially the live view autofocus

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

It's coming soon! The D5100 is an awesome camera! I'll have to remember to make sure to get some footage of the live view autofocus from the D5100.

[@christiananderle5140]

I use my D7000 since 2011. Landscape, Milkyway, Family and Streetphotografy. Autofocus not so fast, but ok. Birds flying are possible. I love the handling with the batterygrip. And the manue is easy. NX Stdio for free is great. To throw it away is a shame. Respectless to the Nikon workers who produced it. Thanks for Video from Vienna😊🎉🎉

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Very nice!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the D7000. Great to know you have had yours since 2011! That is amazing.

[@bryanbacos]

You are the real NIKON guy!

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Thanks! I try!

[@findingrays9824]

Sir can i use ttartisan 23mm for d7000?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

As long as that lens is for the Nikon F-mount, you can mount it on the D7000.

[@matthieuzglurg6015]

it didn't replace the D300S at all. The D300S was the sports body of the time : great AF, 8fps shooting, long buffer, pro body. The D90 was the step down from the D300S, but as Nikon didn't want to replace the D300S to focus on FX cameras in that price range (as shown with the D600), Nikon splitted the "mid range" line in two. Instead of having a successor to the entry level D60 and a successor to the mid range D90, they gave a successor to the D60 (in the form of the D3000) and TWO successors to the D90 in the form of both the D5000 and D7000. The D7000 ended up a little over the proce of the D90, while the D5000 ended up a little bit under. It created more market segmentation. All of that being said : the D7000 is not a sports body. It's a great camera for event photographers, but it was really criticized at the time for its very lackluster buffer health (only 8 RAW images). To me, both the D300 and D7000 could still cost the same today, they're just meant for different things. I could take my event photography gigs with the D7000, while I would take the D300(S) for sports and action. I would not take the D300 for events, and I would not take the D7000 for sports.

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

I REALLY appreciate your feedback. I do agree with you about the D7000 not being a sports body; for me, it's the ISO button and the lack button and controls the D300/D300s bodies had. Thanks for sharing!

[@Tunahancelik0]

Dude, which memory card do you use for your Nikon D70 camera?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

I am using an older Sandisk 4gb CF memory card for my older Nikon D70s body.

[@fixedfocusmediaofficial]

I have been using a SanDisk Extreme Pro 32GB card and it has been incredibly fast and reliable. I bought the card brand new for $75 on Amazon I believe. I have several thousand pictures stored on it. Very fast card with good storage space. Don't go past 32GB though since I don't think the D70 or D70s can handle more than that. You will be impressed with how much faster the camera is with that card, everything is instant. I don't have any more error messages or issues like the other cards either. It always works now.

[@kevincambio4958]

their is a mood software to accurate live view

[@MMPAspergerian]

LoL that AF is loud!

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

That's the Nikon F-Mount lenses for you, haha! The 'newer' Nikon AF-P lenses are much "quieter".

[@PeterR0035]

Never liked it, found it slow and to have bad/soft picture quality, not ergonomic, vastly preferred the 7100/7200 or even the D90 or D40.

[@zawhernos2541]

D40 felt similarly slow as 7000 What lens did you use ?

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

What lens did you use? Former D7000 owners I talked to really enjoyed it. I think if anything, it was the actual hardware that started to fail on the D7000 (the dial near the lcd screen).

[@PeterR0035]

@@zawhernos2541 Sorry, I forgot, sold the D7000 long ago. I have over 200 different Nikon lenses... some AF, some not. Maybe my D7000 was a bad sample, but still, did not like the camera overall.

[@im_linus]

Things I love with my D7000 - The grip feels awesome. If you like thicc and chunky cameras this one will quickly become your favorite to grip - The battery length is insane compared to any other camera I've owned (I can take 1500+ pictures in a evening and not even move a bar) - Dual SD cards have saved me from disaster more than once (since I have the ugly habit of using cheap chinese SD cards :P) But the slow autofocus, poor low-light performance and generally pictures feels "soft" compared to my d5500 (even with the same 300mm lens that's my sharpest lens of them all usually) have led me to the decision of selling my d7000 and look for something newer

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Yeah, from the D5500 to the D7000, the sensor in the D5500 has better low light performance. Thank for sharing your experiences with the D7000. Much appreciated!

[@blueishxx]

come on man, yes it's useable but it's a 14 year old camera, photos are excellent, video is fabulous but only in bright sunshine , I use one with a 50mm ais 1.8 as a dash cam , so for $250 it's an excellent dash cam , that's all
