Re: D7000 video capability --- Poor results Not impressed -- Need help
Guys,
Equip: D7000, Lens 18-105mm VR
I am not one bit impressed by the D7000 video capability.
I am having trouble with getting a decent (not HD) clip from this camera.
Either it is Auto Focus or
in movie mode it kind of sticks to its original settings when you started the recording or
something else but the end result is worthless.
I own a small Sony Cybershot 10MP camera and it creates better videos than this 10X expensive camera.
So if any one out there thinking of buying D7K to get good videos I would suggest wait a few more years.
If any one has been able to get a decent video of when inside the house at night with decent lighting (example a small party) please enlighten me with the secret. Beers are on me.
Here is what I have found out so far -- AF is to be avoided.
Set your camera to the right settings before you start the recording.
Once you start recording it does not adapt to the new settings.
Definitely you need an external microphone if you intend to record the audio.
20 Min or 4 Gig is the max size of video that you can record.
Cheers
Sunny
