Default Nikon D7000

I was planning on getting the D90 but seeing the D7000 is now my choice

Just wondering if anyone knows if the Lenses I have for the D80 will fit the D7000?

I'll keep the D80 for back up but curious about the lenses.

Yes is the simple answer. Depends which lenses you have for the D90 are is the less simple answer. If you have all branded Nikon AF lenses you are OK to go.

Consult the guru. http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm

Of course you could take them all into the shop and try them one by one to be sure........

Thanks. I have the standard lens you get with the nikon camera when you buy it but I have the Tamron lenses 18-200 and 70-300mm.

I was going to buy online from warehouse express once it is released, so I can't try before I buy.
Well, I could once it arrives and send it back if they don't fit and just get the D90 instead

I sold the Sony when I got the Nikon which turned out to be a well used Nikon. (Never trust an ex pro selling cameras)

Contacted the warehouse express people and they said the lenses should fit the D7000 ok.
He did say Nikon lenses mind you. But I guess the Tamron ones should be ok too.
I'll have to break out and buy the Nikon lenses as you can see the difference in the quality compared to Tamron. It's more expensive but should be worth it.

I like the idea of the dual card slots on the d7000

Lovely owl piccie btw. Was that with the Sony?

I would be amazed if a lens that works with the D80 wouldn't work with the 7000.

Nikon D400:-
13.8MP (more sensitive and with less noise), 8fps, Up to 12fps with “double exposure”, ISO 200-6400 (plus extended range), 61-point AF, 1080p video at 24fps. WiFi connectivity.

All speculation as with the D4 and D4000, I guess they are waiting until all a ready to launch the entire 4 series together?

Hi maggie . Yes the owl pic was taken with the sony A450 and the sony kit lens 55-200 (which is a tamron design ) jpeg . I`d recommend the nikon 70-300 VR11 for your D80 / D7000.
