Nikon D7000 Vs Canon 7D, Compare two BIG Powerful Digital Camera

Here are some preview of two big powerful DSLR camera from canon and nikon. The new Nikon D7000 vs Canon 7D. Although the Nikon D7000 is advertised as having a magnesium alloy body (and it does), it is more of a skeleton than the full metal body of the Canon 7D. As you can see in the photo , the 7D is metal all the way up to the lens mount, where the stress from heavy glass can make the greatest impact. The D7000, on the other hand, has magnesium armor in many crucial areas of the body, especially along the top and back of the camera, but its front (and importantly, surrounding the lens mount) is still primarily plastic. The D7000?s body, then, is a great step up for the advanced amateur, but it is still not quite professional class construction. No doubt the smaller size of the D7000 played an important part in the body design.

Though both cameras offer a bright penta-prism viewfinder that show 100% of the full frame, the Canon shows the image at full magnification, while the D7000 is 5% smaller. For those of you who spend hours each day staring through your viewfinder, you’ll understand why this makes a significant difference… bigger, brighter viewfinders are always better.

Let’s comparing between nikon d7000 vs canon 7D below :

a)      Cost – Advantage Nikon D7000. The retail price point on the D7000 is a whopping $500 cheaper than the Canon 7D. The actual price difference may be somewhat smaller depending on street prices. When comparing the kits w/lenses, the advantage drops to $400 retail.

b)      Sensor – Advantage Nikon D7000 because its 16.2 MegaPixel sensor while smaller with fewer pixels than the Canon 7D sensor, the Nikon sensor also has larger light gathering cells so it provides a cleaner image in low light.

c)      Processing – Advantage Canon 7D because it has dual DIGIC-4 processors – Canon’s latest compared to one EXPEED 2 image processor – Nikon’s latest.

d)     LCD Screen – Advantage Nikon D7000 (almost no difference but technically a tiny advantage) Nikon 921,000 pixel viewfinder compared with the Canon 7D’s 920,000. Not a reason to pick one camera over the other but it is technically an advantage.

e)      Autofocus

AF Part 1 – Advantage Nikon D7000 39 point AF system with 9 cross-type sensors in the center. If you shoot sports, wildlife, or anything that moves quickly, the 39 point AF system will help you track moving objects better than Canon’s 19 point AF system.

AF Part 2 – Advantage (slight) Canon 7D if you shoot stationery objects such as portraits or landscapes with 19 point AF system but all 19 are cross-type sensors with the center sensor being additionally sensitive at F/2.8 or faster. This is only a slight advantage since most people don’t shoot F/2.8 or faster lenses with cameras in this price range.

f)       Storage – Advantage (slight) Nikon D7000 dual memory card slots compared with single slot on Canon 7D – would be bigger advantage in my opinion if the slots were CF but they are not they are SD/SDHC/SDXC – very fast and more capacity than 7D.

g)      Weight – Advantage (slight) Nikon D7000 1.5 lbs no battery Canon 7D 1.8 lbs no battery.

h)      Sensitivity – Advantage (slight) Nikon D7000 ISO 25600 possible compared with ISO 12800 on the Canon 7D.

i)        Shutter - Advantage (slight) Nikon D7000 faster shutter speed flash sync in Auto FP mode at 1/320th second compared with 1/250th second on Canon 7D.

j)        Continuous buffer – Advantage Canon 7D at 8FPS compared with 6FPS on the Nikon D7000.

k)      The Nikon D700 records up to 20 minutes of H.264 1080 video per clip compared with the Canon 7D’s 12 minute limit. The Nikon also promises continuous autofocus while recording video compared with no continuous AF during video on the 7D. Lastly, Nikon promises no automatic gain control on the stereo mic in port which is a big negative on the Canon 7D.

l)        Wireless connectivity – Advantage (slight) Canon 7D – if you buy the optional WFT-E5 transmitter for the Canon 7D, you may wirelessly transfer your images to your computer. As far as I can determine at this point, that option is not available on the D7000.

m)    Viewfinder coverage – Advantage (slight) Canon 7D while both cameras offer 100% viewfinder coverage, the Canon 7D offers 1.0x magnification and the Nikon D7000 offers .9x magnification. This is sort of like the difference between the Nikon and Canon LCD – it’s such a small difference as to probably not be noticeable to most shooters but technically it’s advantage Canon.
