The D7000 is now in the hands of the public. Unlike Chase Jarvis, the public in this case consists of the pixel-peeping fanatics on flickr, who have no problem posting really really boring shots in multiple ISO settings so we can see how the camera performs. And boy does it ever. Hi1 (ISO 12,800) looks better than ISO 1600 on my D200. ISO 25,600 even looks alright as long as it’s not shown full size. What really gets me – there is still color definition at this insane levels. At ISO 1600 on my D200, color is fading, fast. All of this makes me want to order a D7000 right now. But I’ll hold out for as long as I can. I’m sure the D700 replacement is going to be nuts.
