Hi there,
Unfortunately this is German only. Saw this one: [url="http://www.magnus.de/testbericht/nikon-d7000-rueckschritt-1036283.html"]http://www.magnus.de...tt-1036283.html[/url]
German magazin ColorFoto, recommends buying a Nikon D90 over the D7000, because of "noise". Looking what other sites say and show, I am just left scratching my head. E.g. a side-by-side shoot out of JPEG is available at the bottom of [url="http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Nikon_D7000/noise_JPEG.shtml"]http://www.cameralab...oise_JPEG.shtml[/url]
I am wondering whether this is another example of a lab test, which has little to do with what people perceive from the photos <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />. --- Just to make it clear: I am not referring to photozone testing here ---

sometimes I have the impression colorfoto and fotogmagazin(the rival magazine)test only to contradict the result of the other. Anyhow, I wouldnt give a fiddlers fart about this. SO far there hasnt been a new dslr that was worse than its predecessor. Sometimes advances in image quality were small to none existant, but I cant remeber any manufacturar taking a step backwards.
Honestly there is only one reliable way of comapring two cameras with differnt MP numbers: Print the picures at the same large size. Only then you can tell to what extent more MP might cancel out additional noise introduced by them, if any. Only from prints of comparable size resolution differnces and be judged in a PRACTICALLY MEANINGFUL way. 100%-on-screen-views show images at different sizes if the MP count is different. Please somebody help those measurbators come to conscience and do their tests for photographers not for computer geeks.
Regarding the D7000: Having worked with a .nef real life sample file from dpreview in PS CS5 I can say that the low iso shadow noise of the D7000 is truly astounding. You can almost infinately lighten up the shadows without any noise of relevant proportion becoming visible. This is actually close to if not equal to my 5d Mark II.
Edit:
I just realized that colorfoto tested only jpg files. It is quite possible that Nikon has taken some bad decisions and distroyed their good raw output by too much NR. This needs to be investigated.
