How to make better videos on the Nikon d7000?

Q. The Nikon d7000 doesn't do videos in HD, and the frames per second are not that great. Is there any way to make the videos somewhat better through editing?

A. For me, D7000 delivered that with great results actually - to my surprise. Videos are bright, audio is clear even with the built-in microphone. The video mode allows you to run auto-focus while shooting, which no other DSLR has done to this point. Additionally, you can now shoot 1080p in 24 frames (23.97 actually) per second, which is cinema quality.

What is a equivalent camera to Nikon D7000 in Canon line of DSLR?

A. The Canon 60D.

The Canon 7D is in direct competition with the Nikon D300s

Do I need a battery in a Nikon D7000 Battery grip to use it?

A. Ah - it's called a "battery grip". :)
The MB-D11 is a new design that gives you a couple of options.
#1 - You can put in a second EN-EL15 battery in it, giving your camera extended shooting as you'll have access to the power of two batteries.
#2 - You can remove the EN-EL15 from your camera, and put in into the MB-D11.
#3 - You can use 6 AA Alkaline batteries in the MB-D11. Very handy when your battery dies and you have to find backup power.

Will the price of the Nikon D7000 come down soon with newer generation cameras coming out?
Q. Should I stop waiting for the price of the Nikon D7000 to come down? I've seen that Nikon will be offering the Nikon D800 for retail sale soon. Does that mean there will also be a Nikon D8000 available soon, and will the availability of any newer generation Nikon cause the D7000 to be reduced in price?

A. If you look on the Nikon Website, you will see that the D90 that was replaced by the D7000 was reduced about $300, yet is still being sold.

What this may tell you is that when the new replacement for the D7000 is eventually released, a similar discount may be available.

However, if you need or want a D7000, waiting around for that to happen may not be a good idea.

The D80 was replaced two years later by the D90 and another two years elapsed before the D7000 became available. What that means is that it may be that the replacement for the D7000 may not be showing up until about the end of the year or beginning of 2013.

As dSLR's become more and more sophisticated, the time between new updates has become longer and longer. It could be, that we will not be seeing many changes in the + $1,000 cameras for as long as three years. Just remember, the Nikon D3 is just now being replaced by the D4, 4 years after its introduction.
