D7000 and sports

Is there enough information out, to determine if the D7000 will be fast enough to capture sports activities

What specifically are you referring to for "fast enough". Your lens will determine the "speed" for sports. It looks like the D7K will have a fps rate for continuous shooting faster than the D90 and that is a great camera for sports so you should be in good shape if I understand you question. If you want a great lens to go along with it for "speed", the 70-200 VRII would be a perfect combo.

This is weird I replied to this thread, thought I pressed Post Quick reply, any way it's vanished,

goz63 thank you
You must be a mind reader bacause that's exactly what I meant, I'm just trying to determine which camera to go to, from D90, either the D300s or the D7000

I have a D7000 have not shot any sports with it yet. But talked to the Carolina Railhawks (local soccer) Photographer he is trying one out currently. Told me he shot a game with it last week and images came out spectacular at iso 3200. He told me focus worked fast and the camera out preformed his expectations. Wish I had some images to share. The next time I speak with him I will try and get some samples. I have bot a 300s and a 7k and right now I prefer the 7k on many levels. Hope that helps.

roguebear thank you kindly for your post Yes sir it helps immensely, I would love to have both but that's not practical for me, hence my scrutiny in all things re these two, I am keeping my D90, and all my lenses, I will be anxiusly awaiting your comparison on both your units when you have a chance, and I bet there are other's that would like to see samples etc, as would I, thank you again

Yeah I plan on getting rid of one for a full frame. Kind of waiting to see what Nikon has in store in the near future with full frame upgrades. And as it looks I will most likely get rid of the 300s. The 7k has some features that I really like and takes some really good pics. Also the dual SD card slots in the 7k is really nice as I can have RAW on one and JPEG on another really nice if you want to e-mail pics to friends while you are traveling without having to spend a lot of time in Capture. In addition the U1 and U2 settings are really nice. I am not really a video guy but nice to have I guess.

As you can see this is my video camera so I really don't care about video on a still's camera, but Oh yes it is quite possibly a handy thing to have in a emergency
