I just bought a nikon D7000?

Ok so i purchased a nikon D7000, i thought it could take high iso in low light conditions, however i'm finding the noise the same as the nikon D90.is this true? What else is bad about this camera i don't know about.

comparison test
pretty much all DSLR cameras in that price range have the same amount of noise at higher ISO's

you will only see a big difference if you jump to a full frame camera, such as the Nikon D3s

The D7000 is pretty much the same class of camera as the D90. I own a D90 and for me the D7000 is not enough of a jump to justify it's purchase.

The D7000 does have better video capability, but I'm not really big on video so it was not an advantage.

Here is a shot taken with a much older D300 with less performance at high ISO's than the D7000

If there's too much noise in this shot, you would have hated shooting film with all its heavy grain at the fastest colour film ISO of 800

Here is how the low light performance of the D90, D7000 and D300 compare

If you can't get reduced noise with the D7000 when compared to the old D300, there's something wrong with your technique. As you can see, even the D90 sensor out performs the D300

The D7000 is perhaps one of the best of its class, so I don't know what the problem is.

Here is a link to a video made using the D7000

Nikon D7000
The good: Excellent performance for its class; great viewfinder; control locations and operations streamlined over previous Nikon dSLRs; dual SDXC-compatible card slots.

The bad: No 1080/30p video.

The bottom line: An excellent dSLR for experienced shooters or Nikon professionals looking for a relatively cheap option, the Nikon D7000 delivers on almost all counts, including the company's best shooting design to date.

When it comes to mid-to-high-end dSLRs, it takes quite a bit to float our boat these days. We're not looking for whizzy new features, bold redesigns, or insane burst rates for either ourselves or the shoppers we advise; to me, the perfect camera just gets out of the way between our eyes and the final photograph (and perhaps video). Of course, the usual caveats apply: It's not the right camera for everyone and it's not best at everything. But its combination of design, feature set, performance and photo quality for the price is hard to beat, and will be especially so once the street price starts to drop.
