Nikon D7000. Quality of prints from shots taken in low light 

An analysis of prints and 100% online image fragments. Covers prints from photos taken at ISO 800 to ISO 25600, in sizes ranging from 10×15 cm to 40×60 cm (4×6 to 16×24 inches). Low-light conditions were f/2.8, with shutter speeds of 1/20–1/30 seconds (photos courtesy of www.imaging-resource.com). The analysis includes practical tables showing the usability of the Nikon D7000 in low light, based on discussions with six photographers (amateurs and professionals).

• See also: review of D7000 on dpreview (positive but not enthusiastic))
• See also: review of D7000 on imaging-resource (enthusiastic)
• See also: review of D7000 by Thom Hogan (very positive)

Sum up: While the D7000 delivers high-quality, high-ISO photos, the improvement over the D90 is minimal. Unless you need features like a 16MP sensor, HD video, or in-camera focus adjustments, there’s little reason to upgrade. Personally, I own a D80 and skipped the D90, hoping for a significant improvement with the next generation of Nikon APS cameras. In hindsight, I regret that decision—the D90 is an excellent camera, and its successor is not a substantial leap forward. (2011, January 21)
