The D7000 came out at the same time as the K-5 and had the same sensor. The D7100 is an upgrade to that. The D7000/71000 have the advantage that they will work well with the old AIS manual focus lenses. Even the old (spotmatic era) Nikon lenses can be modified to work with AIS bodies, with full metering. The D90 will only meter with the autofocus lenses. Apart from low light focus, and a tendancy to splatter lubricant on the sensor for the first 2,000 frames, the D600, is a very nice, relatively affordable full frame sensor camera (which will also work with all the nikon lenses). A lot of the low end nikons will only work well with autofocus lenses that have their own internal autofocus motors. > > Cheers, Christine > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
