Anyone open D7000 Nef file with CS5 ? Yours pictures looks ok ?
just found a thread : http://forums.adobe.com/message/3367537
"Histograms don't match (In camera or Nx2) and pictures are not as they were shot when loaded with ACR 6.3 or Lightroom 3.3
They end up Darker and Colorless."
I think we need to disable "Active D-Lighting" for shooting RAW/NEF if we want to have accurate reading in LR/CS5 ?

The kit lens is 18-105mm. Actually the kit lens is pretty good.. I'm still using it at the moment to get more experience before i acquire other lenses.
18-105mm is a entry level lens with long reach and less than ideal IQ..... http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/18-105mm.htm
Even the 18-55mm VR has a better IQ than this one
You can wait till the IT show to come, but please don buy from IT show...I m waiting for IT show 10 - 12 March, hopefully i can get a good deal then
Cos at IT show thet sell at RRP Price so you have to pay at $2299 for the Kit package with freebie which is no worth
1) Choices
There are many smaller shops who didnt participate in the IT show, they shld offer more competitive deals than the big boys at the IT show. They are also more flexible to bundle other products with the deal.
2) Cost Savings
These smaller shops can take advantage of the cost savings from no participation at the show and transfer the savings in better pricing, with better discount to buyers like us. If the smaller shop is selling at the same price as the big boy, i would rather buy from the big boy then.
3) Timing
These shops should recognise March is the best time among the other IT shows to capture the market share, right from the start in the beginning of the year. D7k is for enthusiast, ppl who are in this segment shld be eyeing the product for a long time since the launch.
4) Product
Different from Nikon d3k, the market for d7k is for photography enthusiast. Many enthusiasts shld already own a camera. Nikon is becoming more competitive with this offering d7k. The key is the resellers, are they going to be competitive?
For D7k, the good sellers shld package a better body deal, instead of only a better kit deal to lure the target segment which is existing owners to change body. The price of the body shld drop further than the current price to pull ppl who already own camera. It shld be a price war for D7k for the sellers. Whoever offers the best price captures the intended market share !!
My 2 cents opinion.

This might be a dumb question but i'm new to battery grips...
Am i able to use the grip if i were to use just one battery attach (on the the detachable grip itself) or do i have to get a spare batt in order for the grip to work??
cause i'm planning on getting a d7k next week along with a grip if i'm able to find one...

Guys,
Need help...
Thinking to buy D7K soon,but read in some threads that better to buy body only and match with other lense,is it true ?
if true i do not mind to buy other lense instead of kit lense.
and what is your recommendation ? thinking to get 18mm - <200mm lense.
thx.
