Interesting. I really don't have those problems but I do like the compact system aspect. I rarely pull out the 360 for any event. This guy seems like a sensible fellow. He'll never make it in the Internet. -----Original Message----- From: David J Brooks <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2011 11:10:14 To: Pentax Discuss<[email protected]> Reply-To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List <[email protected]> Subject: found whilst reading a D7000 review
Mike Johnson had a link ot his buddy's review of the Nikon D7000, Gordon Lewis of Shutterfinger,and I found these two paragraphs interesting and also my point of view as well, as a two system shooter. [quote] Final Ruminations Some might wonder why I would buy a Nikon D7000 if I already have a Pentax K-7 with several DA lenses. The answer is that I’m not a brand fanatic. I use whatever tools I like and have available to get the job done. Different jobs often require different cameras. I suspect I’m not alone in this regard. As one example, Pentax’s flash system is not as well-designed and sophisticated as those from Canon and Nikon. The Pentax AF-540FGZ struggles in situations where comparable Canon or Nikon flash units produce consistent accurate exposures and color balance. When I’m covering a wedding or an event I need a flash system that makes the job easier, not more difficult. The Pentax flash system isn’t quite there yet. I also have an occasional need for lenses or specialized accessories that are readily available to rent for Canon or Nikon but hard to find for Pentax. In this respect the D7000 is more of a replacement for my Canon EOS 30D than a replacement for the Pentax K-7. The K-7 is still my camera of choice when I’m travelling and want to be able to carry a variety of excellent lenses in minimal space. The D7000 also can’t compete with the fact that any lens I use on the K-7 is image-stabilized. Being able to use a 55mm f/1.4 in low light with shake-reduction is a wonderful thing.
