Will the price of the Nikon D7000 come down soon with newer generation cameras coming out?

Q. Should I stop waiting for the price of the Nikon D7000 to come down? I've seen that Nikon will be offering the Nikon D800 for retail sale soon. Does that mean there will also be a Nikon D8000 available soon, and will the availability of any newer generation Nikon cause the D7000 to be reduced in price?

A. If you look on the Nikon Website, you will see that the D90 that was replaced by the D7000 was reduced about $300, yet is still being sold.

What this may tell you is that when the new replacement for the D7000 is eventually released, a similar discount may be available.

However, if you need or want a D7000, waiting around for that to happen may not be a good idea.

The D80 was replaced two years later by the D90 and another two years elapsed before the D7000 became available. What that means is that it may be that the replacement for the D7000 may not be showing up until about the end of the year or beginning of 2013.

As dSLR's become more and more sophisticated, the time between new updates has become longer and longer. It could be, that we will not be seeing many changes in the + $1,000 cameras for as long as three years. Just remember, the Nikon D3 is just now being replaced by the D4, 4 years after its introduction.

How do i turn on AF51 on a Nikon D800?
Q. My father was wondering how to turn on the AF51 (51points or something) on the Nikon D800. I have no clue of what he is talking about because I don't know anything about cameras lol. So I was hoping that someone can help me out here with it. Thanks!!

A. Press the AF button (button on the M-AF selector switch on the front left by the lens mount) and turn the front command dial, until it comes to D 51 on the top LCD panel.

How to zoom in with Nikon d 800 movie mode?
Q. Hi, I would deeply appreciate if someone could help me. I'm shooting a documentary with Nikon D800 but I can't seem to make a zoom in while I'm filming, or zoom to get extreme close ups.
I would deeply appreciate the help :)
Thanks :)

A. Extreme close ups will require you to use a macro lens like the 105 mm f/2.8 so you can maintain some distance from the subject

Zooming is rarely used when shooting video. The zoom lens is used to crop the frame without needed to move the camera, rarely anything else

When you see a video that is full of "zooms" it shows that the director is not an experienced video shooter.

Think of a zoom in the script as an exclamation point. After while , too many !!!!!!!! get boring and you lose your audience.

Take a look at this video shot using an older Nikon D7000. After viewing it with the sound off, look at your video script again and try to remove all but one or two zooms.

While the director of this video used three zoom lenses and one prime, you will not see any zooming going on (but for a very short few seconds at the end)

Most of the camera movements are either dolly's, pans, jib shots and a couple aerial shots using a small remote controlled helicopter.

EDIT: What accessories do you have? Do you have a Loupe similar to this?

Here are some more links to the kinds of accessories you will eventually want if you intend to shoot video using a dSLR

i have canon t1i. I confused to upgrade my camera to one of 5D markiii or nikon D800. help me please?
Q. i have this lenses canon 85 f1.8, canon 15- 85mm f3.5-5.6, canon18-55 , canon 55-250. Is Nikon d800 better than canon 5d markiii? if its better is it that much to i change all of this.

A. Given that you really don't have much investment in lenses, I think you could upgrade to either camera.

There isn't a tremendous difference between the two in terms of image quality. Both are going to produce excellent images that will blow up easily to 40X60 prints. I would try both of them and see which one feels better in your hand and has more intuitive controls.
