Mine was between 6-8 so 7 worked best overall

^ The camera? This is already my second copy and back focus is evident with alot of D7000s.. Slight AF tuning to compensate does not necessarily mean issues with body. Its just the way the D7000 behaves with different lenses as apposed to other Nikon DSLRs. If you need more like 20-+ adjustments then you have a problem and should probably exchange or service.
DDR, try this test Nikon D70 Focus Chart you may have abit of back focus too

So is Nikon D3100 one of the best DSLR for beginner/amateur in the more affordable price range?

T2i > d3100 > t3
Wow awesome deal for the t2i
When I first began photography I posted in here (perfectly a year ago) and ended up getting the d90. Sometimes I wish I got the t2i instead lol. Still using the d90 and dying bad to get a 60d or d7k Posted via RS Mobile | |

T2i isnt the better choice if you're doing some video though. Theres no AF and the focus motors are a bit loud if you decide to half-shutter and let it focus.
If you dont mind using MF when videoing then it is the better camera.

buying a new dslr the next month.
currently using a d90 and anything above 800 iso is really grainy.
cant decide between the 60d and d7000 right now.
i read that the 60d is better at low light (i shoot a lot of low light pics) and its better at filming
but the d7000 is slightly better overall. should i just go for the d7000?

i would not compare the 60d with the D7000 at all... I had a chance to use a 60d and its more or less like a Canon t3i and will be a big downgrade from a d90. Although if your into cinematography then 60d wins over the D7000. Plus 60d is plastic where D7000 is magnesium alloy.
I can shoot at ISO 2000 with little grain so low light situations are perfect. Dont know where u read the 60d is better in regards to grain and iso..
Overall, D7000 for sure! I love mine
Take a look at this aswell Canon 60D vs Nikon D7000

Take a look at this aswell Canon 60D vs Nikon D7000 | i actually think the 60d is a huge upgrade from my d90 lol.
i used exhil's t1i for 2 photoshoots and i think it performed a lot better than my d90 at higher iso... but then again the 60d has the same sensor as the t2i so maybe its not much of an upgrade. i guess im leaning more towards the d7000 because ill be more comfortable with the controls and dont have to switch up all my gear 
thanks a lot for the feedback broski ! | |

I'm planning on getting the d90, it's not my first DSLR though. I'm looking for a more bang for the buck body for that price range and I've heard d90 is a great camera.
Opinions?

Opinions? | I just got my D90 this past summer with the that I saved up from work. I love the camera and is it does have the best bang for the buck because of the top lcd and AF motor. Keep in mind that it is a fairly old camera and discontinued. I got one of the last ones at London Drugs after checking the other big box stores back in June. You might want to look into the 5100 which is in the same price range. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Opinions? | What are you upgrading from? D90 was probably the best in it's class/price range till the D7000 replaced it. Still a pretty good camera though, worth it.

I upgraded from a shitty olympus dslr  , I never expected to love photography so much.
Would the D5100 be a better choice than the d90? From what I head its worth the search to get a d90 even though its discontinued

Any thoughts on the Lumix TS3? After doing a lot of reading on dpreview I think that's probably my best option right now but if anybody knows something I don't I'd love to know!

Makes me feel like im wasting money on inferior technology lmao | at that price range... probably the canon 310/510/500 HS, or the fuji F-watever-EXR's. i'd like absolute control over settings, which is why i settled on a s95 last year (for my gf haha). also considered the lx5, xz1, p7100. if it's for yourself, i'd consider spending a bit more for the aforementioned models.
and skip the sony HX#V's, the noise-reduction at high ISO's drove me absolutely crazy. I mean yes, the picture came out, but it was like an oil painting lol. and manual mode gave you a whopping number of 2 apertures. for some reason it gets raving reviews online everywhere. Quote:

I'd consider the D10 more seriously if it'd do more than 640x480 video (compared against the 1920x1080 of the TS3) as I don't plan on taking my Hero into the bush or waste any of my iPhone's battery when I'm nowhere near civilization.
