1. Nikon D7100 Vs Nikon D7000

In this review, we will be comparing D80 and D7000, two Semi-Pro DSLR cameras by Nikon. Nikon D80 was introduced to market in September 2006 and Nikon D7000 was launched in November 2010.

As you can see, D80 is 4 years older than D7000. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference. Both cameras have APS-C sensors but Nikon D80 has a 10.0 MP and Nikon D7000 has a 16.0 MP resolution.Let's have a brief look at the main features of Nikon D80 and Nikon D7000 before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.Nikon D80 is significantly lighter (112g ) than the Nikon D7000 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Nikon D80 and Nikon D7000 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight. Nikon D80 has a 10.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CCD sensor.

On the other hand, Nikon D7000 has a 16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 2 processor.Nikon D7000's sensor provides 6MP more than Nikon D80's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power.

Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.Below you can see the D80 and D7000 sensor size comparison. Nikon D80 and Nikon D7000 have almost the same sensor size so none of them has any significant advantage over other in providing control over depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. DxOMark Sensor ScoresDxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Nikon D80 and Nikon D7000 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that D7000 has a better overall score of 80, 19 points higher compared to D80's score of 61.

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. Nikon D80 and Nikon D7000 have the same Nikon F lens mount and currently there are 304 native lenses available for these cameras.Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature.

Currently there are with Image stabilization for Nikon F mount. Lens Type# of Nikon D80 Lenses# of Nikon D7000 LensesStandard ZoomStandard PrimeWideangle ZoomWideangle PrimeTelephoto ZoomTelephoto PrimeSuperZoomWideangle Fisheye PrimeMacro PrimePerspective Control PrimeTelephoto Mirror PrimeTOTAL.

In this review, we will be comparing 80D and D7000, two Semi-Pro DSLR cameras from Canon and Nikon. Canon 80D was introduced to market in February 2016 and Nikon D7000 was launched in November 2010.

As you can see, D7000 is 6 years older than 80D. Let's see if this age difference between two cameras makes a big difference. Both cameras have APS-C sensors but Canon 80D has a 24.0 MP and Nikon D7000 has a 16.0 MP resolution.Let's have a brief look at the main features of Canon 80D and Nikon D7000 before getting into our more detailed comparison. Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.Canon 80D is 50g lighter than the Nikon D7000 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon 80D and Nikon D7000 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight. Weather SealingBoth 80D and D7000 have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust. LCD Screen Size and FeaturesCanon 80D and Nikon D7000's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3'.

On the other hand, Canon 80D sports a Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over the head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Nikon D7000's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to 80D.

Canon 80D has a 24.0MP APS-C (22.5 x 15 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 6 processor. On the other hand, Nikon D7000 has a 16.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Expeed 2 processor.Canon 80D's sensor provides 8MP more than Nikon D7000's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life.

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Canon 80D has an advantage over Nikon D7000. There are 319 lenses for Canon 80D's Canon EF/EF-S mount, on the other hand there are only 304 lenses for Nikon D7000's Nikon F lens mount.Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization.

None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are for Canon EF/EF-S mount and for Nikon F mount with IS.
