Originally posted by leeak Where are all these naysayers coming from? How can one already judge AF performance, metering, IQ etc on just spec sheets alone? Sure the D7000 has features that K5 doesn't have but the K5 also has SR, 77 weather seals and probably other things that D7000 lacks.
As I am following this thread at work in my office, I can't help but wonder what do you all do for a living that makes you react this way and be so critical of things. Can we at least let the dust settles before making more claims?
I couldn't agree more. Be excited or complain, but be aware that we haven't yet seen this camera in action. We haven't yet viewed pictures or examined the new autofocus system or seen how it will work at the higher ISOs. Is the ISO going to be that much better than the K-7? Probably, but we don't really know that yet. Remember most of us thought the ISO on the K-7 was going to be significantly better than it was on the K-20. It wasn't. However, the autofocus was a very significant improvement.
I for one will be keeping up with what's going on but wait until the reviews start coming in at which point we'll all have a better idea of whether this camera represents a small upgrade, or a "O My Gosh" this is really nice move forward!
