NIKON DSLR D7000

NIKON D7000
My uncle Jun Del Rosario is a professional photographer. He has a Photo and Video Coverage business. They have almost all of the latest gadgets for their business. I would like to be a professional photographer someday. So, my next goal is to buy my own DSLR Camera, and enroll myself to a Basic Photography class. I want to buy a DSLR Camera that could also shoot 1080p Video. So, I could also capture happy moments with my family, and probably use it for my dream photography career! The NIKON DSLR D7000 is a very promising, professional camera!



NIKON DSLR D7000

I am clueless when it comes to camera, so I consulted my uncle. I have nothing against with the other brands of DSLR. What he just recommended is the NIKON brand. So, what I did is, I researched about different DSLR Camera, I went to forums and checked out the reviews. On my research, most of the Professional and International Photographers are using NIKON. And, I don't know why. Hehehe!

If I just want a NIKON DSLR for Imaging, I could go for DSLR D3100 or 300S. But, since I also want to have a FULL HD Video capability on my camera. I am eying just one camera, the NIKON D7000. Here are the Pictures, Features and Full Product Specification of NIKON D7000 I got during my research:

@Myx -My uncle said, He much preferred NIKON... Professional Photographer yun for how many decades. I would just buy NIKON, since he suggested it and he could teach me as well with the other functionalities of the DSLR. I went to some forums and did some research, most International and Professional Photographers preferred NIKON for DSLR, and I don't know why! Hehehe! =)

@Yen -O'o, binago ko yung layout, kasi yung adsense spider bot, 'di mabasa kapag may insert na javascript yung template. So, I just chose a temporary one. Grabe ka naman, maliit lang sahod ko, enough lang makakain ng dalawang beses sa isang araw! Hehehe! Kapag nakabili ako, kukunin kitang model, kaso baka 'di ko afford ang talent fee mo! Hehehe! Yen, 'Di ba may camera kana?! Meron rin akong nakita na Basic Photography course for DIGITAL camera! But, If you prefer DSLR, meron din Basic Course para duon, it's PhP 7,495 (USD 188). Here's the website: http://pcci.com.ph/Courses/Photography/Basic.html


@Lulu -Merong mura na NIKON DSLR D3100, around P30K yata, kapag umaapaw na yung kita mo sa site mo, madali nalang yan, hehehe! Meron pa sigurong mas mura, pero ibang brand yata...

@Good Filipino -IDOL, good afternoon! Salamat sa pagdalaw mo! Hehehe! =)

Good Filipino said...

isp101 said...

@Good Filipino -Dude, wala pang paramdam si Adsense eh, hehehe! Nalulungkot nga ako, pero ok lang, ganyan talaga ang buhay... =)

Good Filipino said...

I;m sure nagparamdam na ngayon si pareng adsense.. wag ka na malungkot.. may surpresa daw sya syo :) Good Morning

isp101 said...

Hehehe! Deadma lang si pareng Adsense eh, tulog yata! Hehehe! OK lang IDOL, baka 'di pa oras! Hehehe! Tnx for dropping by! God bless! =)

glentot said...

Mel Avila Alarilla said...

I pray that you will be able to buy that camera by the grace of God and start your career in professional photography. Thanks for the post. God bless you always.

Good Filipino said...

isp101 said...

@Glentot -Oo nga, sana makaipon ako! Hehehe! Ayos din yang Canon 500D, 15.1megapixel and 1080p Video capable pa! Astig! =)

@Bro. Mel -Glory to GOD po! May the LORD provide din po para makaipon po ako ng pambili nitong dream camera ko, if GOD's will, nothing is impossible! GOD bless po! =)

@Good Filipino -Oo nga eh, nakakatuwa, nagulat ako, akala ko niloloko lang ako ng kuya ko! I praised the LORD! =)
