Where did you buy it from? If its a company, holla up WITH ANGER. Did some looking at user reviews for D7000, man some people got unlucky and had loads of bad batches. Pick was it you that had problems with yours?
I bought it through eBay, seller has 100% feedback so obviously didn't even dream of someone being wrong. Meh, sent a message to him, see what he says.

Also, I can't work out if it's my lens or camera, but my 50mm prime always focuses off by about 10cm when shooting a person fully in the frame. Annoying. I've been autofocusing, then taking a series of shots while moving the focus ring a tiny bit to either side.

I think you can adjust for back/front focusing with the D7000? Focus has always been difficult with my 50 as well but I could only manual focus.
Yeah, I have a few dead pixels, but they only seem to show on videos in low light. I guess at that resolution, they tend to be engulfed by the surrounding pixels in a photograph. What do you mean by adjusting for back/front focusing?
I read a amazon.com reviewer went through 5 replacement D7000s and had dead pixels in everyone of them. Wonder if our other D7k bros have this problem? If its only on videos in low light, do you mean when you view it on the display, say watching it on your computer does it show? [quote=Post on dpreview]The D7000 manual states on page 246: AF tuning is not recommended in most situations and may interfere with normal focus and The camera may be unable to focus at minimum range or at infinity when AF tuning is applied. This does not instill confidence in using AF fine tuning.[/quote] AF Fine Tuning, I would feel better taking the lens and body to Nikon.

I figure that this is part of photographers gear. I'm looking for getting a photo printer. I don't know which one is good or really anything about them, but I want to print mostly A4 sized photos and smaller. I don't really care about price, both printer or per print I just want a printer that prints well (good dpi, colors, etc.) anyone have some good suggestions?

You guys will probably laugh at me, but I bought an Olympus VR-310, because I needed something better than my old Canon
It's probably OK for a point and shoot but you will struggle to get creative with it.

I have seen it, you may have noticed how difficult it was. [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] I said it's difficult not impossible.
It goes like this: - A camera won't take pictures on it's own. - -------------- An Amazing photographer shits out gold with any camera. -------------- A good photographer takes amazing photos with best gear. A good photographer takes good photos with cheap gear. -------------- An okay photographer takes good photos with best gear. An okay photographer takes shit photos with bad gear. -------------- A shit photographer shits out shit with any camera. -------------- There is a romanticized cliche of the 'underdog' camera making great pictures in the hands of a genius photographer. While it happens, the average photographer needs something that they can learn with and have control over. Yes, a good camera doesn't automatically take good pictures, [i]but it sure as hell won't hurt.[/i] I'll take it a step further with a car analogy; A racecar driver can drive your mom's minivan better than your dad can drive his porsche, but he probably won't win any races in it.
I'm thinking of getting a lens to replace my kit 18-55mm, what's a good all rounder to get? Camera is a Canon EOS 500d.

Been shooting this weekend with my old Nikon FE and my new 50mm 1.8, some awesome results from my first batch of film, now shooting in b/w :buddy: [img]http://gyazo.com/a669d17f27f8a2bc7e9cf53c8794d50f.png[/img]
Hot damn that's a nice camera, its Ken Rockwell's favourite too!
Just bought the Tamron 70-300 f4-5.6 SP VC USD etc etc It's awesome! But I forgot to take my SD card with me so don't have any shots yet.
[QUOTE=MisterM;29549162]Hot damn that's a nice camera, its Ken Rockwell's favourite too![/QUOTE] to answer your question from facebook since you logged off 2 seconds before I answered, it was my mom's. She HAD a bunch of lenses but the neighbor kids when she was younger (high school) stole a bunch of her crap, so all I got was its old 50mm 2.8 and a really craggy old leather case.

I continually regret getting a 60D when I had an E-500.
Why regret? YOU GET A TILTY FLIPPY SCREEN!
you own a fucking 60D [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] ill ease your guilt, mail it to me
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;29552104]you own a fucking 60D [editline]1st May 2011[/editline] ill ease your guilt, mail it to me[/QUOTE] yeah and while you're at it if you're feeling guilty about owning any expensive lenses just send them my way
60D has creative auto modes. It's like a £1000 550D/600D.
The 60D has a better weight/feel to it though, also better AF and ISO performance.
It also has IMO horrible buttons. Do not like. A great camera apart from that though.
[QUOTE=Roll_Program;29554806]60D has creative auto modes. It's like a £1000 550D/600D.[/QUOTE] It's also not £1000.
