Thank you for all your videos about Nikon D7000, I got this camera as a gift and currently trying to figure it out. Your videos are very helpful! God bless you!
@iragregory1274 You are very welcome! If you have any questions about your gifted D7000, please let me know. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have. I am so happy my videos have helped you. God bless you as well! Thank you for watching and I hope all is well! Kris
Still have mine bought when it came out, still an excellent camera imo, it’s just hard to give up the significantly smaller form factor of modern mirrorless cameras.
Excellent video once again. I’m glad you’re still paying attention to this remarkable camera. I really enjoy your relaxed and informative presentation. Looking forward to more D7000 hints and tips. Many thanks.
@tonygarrett7214 Thank you so much for your kind words Tony! I really appreciate it! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Your support means a lot to me! I'll definitely continue to share more hints and tips on the D7000 in future videos. If there's anything specific you'd like me to cover, feel free to let me know. Thank you for watching and supporting me so much on my channel. It truly means a lot! Hope you're doing well. Take care! Kris
@@Kris_World All of your work is informative and most importantly, encourages and supports people like me who love photography but sometimes get a bit overwhelmed by the technology in our cameras. I’d really appreciate a video on how to use manual vintage lenses on the Nikon D7000. I hope I haven’t missed one that you might’ve already done on this subject. Cheers!
@@tonygarrett7214 Hi Tony! Thank you so much for the very positive feedback and kind words. I really appreciate it! I would love to do a video on that topic. I think it would really be informative and help many other photographers out there, especially if they want to use some of their vintages lenses that they have lying around. I unfortunately don't have one, but I have one being shipped to me so I can make this video because I feel its important. Hope you're doing well and will start the production of that video as soon as I receive my old piece of glass in the mail. Thank you for being a great part of this community and always being so kind. Kris
@@Kris_World Many thanks for that. I have a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens thats about 20 years old and I’m looking forward using it on the D7000: not until I’ve watched your video on how to do it! Cheers. Tony
@tonygarrett7214 You're welcome! Which 50mm f/1.8 do you have? Is it an Ai lens that has the little silver bracket (rabbit ears) on the side with screws or is it the AF version before the D version came out? Just curious, because I might have the same lens. Does the lens have auto-focus or is it manual focus only? Thank you! Kris
Hei. Nice to see your video and I just got a Nikon D7000 used from KEH. It's amazing and can you suggest some good lenses for wildlife and bird photography.
Hi! Thank you for watching my video, and congratulations on your camera purchase! The D7000 has amazing color and can take beautiful pictures. For bird photography, you most likely will need a long lens and it all depends on your budget because unfortunately the longer the lens the more expensive they get. You will probably want a fast lens to be able to use a faster shutter speed for birds, especially when they are in flight. The Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR is a very nice, sharp lens to start out with. One I really wish to own someday. Looking at reviews and sample photos it is clear its optics are beautiful and precise. Another lens that I have heard about is the Nikon AF-S 200-500mm f/5.6 ED VR. It may be a bit slower than the 70-200 but it still has beautiful optics and color. Hope this helps, and sorry this message is delayed, but I hope it finds you well. Kris
It should defiantly work with your Tamron lens. You just have to adjust the AF finetune settings. I have a video on this subject on my channel. Its a lot to explain but in the menu you basically are adjusting the digital focus point that you can't see. unless you use a book or a cereal box. Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi! I made a whole video on this on my channel on how to adjust the Fine Tune autofocus setting. Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions. Kris
@anthonyocarroll5630 Hey Anthony, just head over to the Nikon website by looking up Nikon D7000 on google. You’ll want to click on the link that says Nikon.com and under the camera you should see support. I made a video on the Nikon D700 firmware update so if you watch that video on my channel, it will give you a complete walkthrough of what to do if you want to update your Nikon D7000. Hope this helps and if you have any questions please let me know. Kris
The autofocus on many of Nikon's DSLR's in video mode is generally bad. While the quality of the video itself is good, you're better off using manual focus.
I had the 7100 and could never get the focus working properly. It's crazy that you have to tune each lens to the body. Never had that problem with any other Nikon body. Eventually jumped ship to Fuji.
@jeffha Yes it is a little crazy, but once the Nikon D7000 is fine tuned it is one heck of a camera and will perform pretty well in most scenarios. Fuji defiantly has a great camera system though. I have the XT-1 and the X100s. Both fantastic cameras. I use both systems for different reasons. Mostly my Nikon though because the Fuji X mount lenses are a bit out of my budget. Thank you for watching! I appreciate the comment. Sorry its a little late. Hope all is well! Kris
I have learned that with any Nikon camera, to remove the grip and the battery from the grip after shooting because for some reason the battery will drain over a short period of time. It doesn't matter if the grip is OEM Nikon or 3rd party the battery will drain on the grip and the camera body. This has happened with my Nikon D300, D700, D600, D7000, and D7100. I have come to believe that it is some kind of design flaw that Nikon never addressed.
@dominicwroblewski5882 Hi Dominic, I really appreciate the heads up about the batteries. I'll have to start removing my batteries from both the grip and my cameras when not in use. I'm sure this will help others as well! Thank you for sharing. Thank you for checking my video Dominic. I hope your doing well! Kris
I have a d7000 and I can leave the battery in for months before it drains. That being said I had the back focusing problem that caused me to not trust it with anything other than wide angle lenses. You can't really focus through the viewfinder, so the only option is live view with magnification. Compared to my new mirrorless cameras, that's stone age. Also video quality is terrible.
Right tool for the job is rule #1. Do you need duel SD slots? How big are you going to be printing? Want video? Want CCD? D80 is CCD and might be just right, or for video, D90. Lens: AF-S 18-55mm f3.5 DX ED GII - unless you want more telephoto.
@Ranveer_Singh_Kahani Victor is definitely right! Both of those cameras are excellent and cheaper in price than a D7000. Unless you need dual card slots and need to print extra large prints then his suggestions are perfect, especially if you are low on funds. Thank you Victor for answering questions in this community. I don’t always have the time to get back to my viewers right away because I work so much. I appreciate your help and being a great part of this community I’m working to build. Kris
@SpotOnFyn Outstanding! In my opinion, since Nikon has such a large assortment of lenses that can be used it makes it the more economical option and the possibilities are endless.
D7000 is great! I have it's younger brother, the D7200 and I absolutely love it. Its size, the enormous possibilities, just everything.

Can you upload a Video recorded with d 7000 as a video review test since everyone says that it doesn't focus well
@Color.rapids Hi, Yes I will defiantly make it a point to make a video of that. Thank you for watching!
me 2 i think, and how does it work with the inner menu setting for AF finetune ? i got a tamron 18-270vr
