This not related to just the Nikon mentioned but do you have to use two cards to shoot RAW and jpeg at the same time. I was under the impression that the image could be saved in both formats on one card with the one exposure. :roll:

Sure can! It depends upon how you define storage, which kind of files, and where to store them.
If you select JPEG+RAW on a specific card, and use the other as spillover, it will do so.

I'll check into that. I'll be at the beach for the next several days and will have plenty of time to play with my camera. I'll have to do my last resort and pull out and read the manual though. :thumbdown: I have shot some RAW but pertty much stick with jpeg.

I have RAW goto #1, JPEG + video to #2.
Since the RAW's will be much larger files, I use a 32GB in 1, 16GB in 2.
It works out nice.

Ok. I thought it was still a D5000 most of last year. Since I'm not a Nikon person anymore, I shouldn't have commented anyway.

With the D7000 you can also use legacy manual AI and AI-S lenses and program them in so that they meter and the camera knows what aperture you have selected. That is a nice plus.

Have upgraded from a D40X to the D5100. The articulated screen is brilliant. 11 focal points should be enough compared to the D7000's 39. Only need the focus motor in the D7000 body for old lenses. Biggest loss is only 4fps compared to 6fps for the D7000. Will spend the savings on a good speedlite, but which one?

There you go. But with being a past Nikon user, perhaps you could have given a useful contribution on this subject. Heck..even Canon folks have some active grey-matter :lol: :lol: :thumbup: 8-)
