Message: <blockquote data-quote="AfterImage" data-source="post: 10232" data-attributes="member: 2702">As I pointed out in the other thread; if both cameras do not encounter buffer overrun at 5FPS but the Nikon can boost up to 6FPS in short sprints then the advantage goes to Nikon. I can't say for sure if the buffer handling can be expanded in a firmware update though. My gut says "no" but I'm really not that knowledgable on the subject.  I also don't think anyone was necessarily avoiding this topic. Both cameras are very new and the professional reviews are slowly leaking in. If you look at the specs of both cameras side by side the advantage is clearly for the D7000. The canon may have more MPs but without rediculous pixel-peeping on images shot through very expensive optics you'd be hard pressed to declare a "winner" there. The canon does have better video features and the nifty tilt screen; so if video is your thing the Canon may be a better choice (*note the Nikon AFs during video but the Canon does not so even video is neck and neck depending if you are serious or a casual user). Just about everywhere else the Nikon pulls ahead. 100% viewfinder vs 86%, 2 memory card slots vs 1, electronic rule-of-thrids grid, 6.3FPS vs 5 (*note conversation above), 39 points of AF vs 9, 2016 pixel metering vs 63 zones, 25600 ISO vs. 12800, better noise handling, etc etc etc...  Another thing to ask yourself... why has Canon already offered a $100 rebate on a camera that's weeks old? When I bought my D7000 the prices were $1199 vs $1099. For only an extra $100 I felt you got a significantly better camera. And, in my opinion, so did Canon.</blockquote>
