help me to choose :D

[pitbull]

alam mo...kung bumili ka ng D90...mamaya,hahanapin mo yun D7000...bebenta mo na lang ng palugi,when mag D7000 ka na 

D7000 ka na. yun lens pwede mo naman bilhin yan later on eh...madali na yan. at least padagdag yun gamit mo at hindi ka magpapalit and malulugi in the process.

Nobody can tell if he would want to get a D7000 right away after getting a D90. IMHO you don't need to upgrade bodies everytime there's a new that comes out. If he knows how to handle his gear and evaluate his skills his gear would last him a couple of years.

pero kung talaga kelangan mo ng video and its part of your must-have features then, like they say, sa canon ka na nga. plus primes seems to be a better choice for videos.

the thing is always get the best you can afford/available amongst the option...we do not need to buy every upgrade kung may existing ka na but if you are starting from scratch then buy the better option. the D90 indeed is a very good camera,i had one before but disposed of it for a D700. as good as it is, the D7000 is a lot better by far. kung ako pipili sa 2,kung nag D90 ako,then pag nakita ko yun high ISO output ng D7000, mapapaisip pa ako, kahit na alam ko gamitin ng mabuti yun D90. just like buying a car,will you buy the old honda city because it is cheap? or get the new honda civic(the D7000 is a little above the D90 in tier) for a higher price na afford mo naman,with better specs and better performance as well as satisfaction value 

if video is your thing,canon sana sasabihin ko dahil sa options nya for videos, pero my canon friends usually end up buying old manual focus nikkors din to shoot their videos...so why not get a nikon in the first place? i do not know why they do this,sabi nila mas malinaw daw,mas madali daw gamitin yun manual focus ng nikon kasi mas swabe daw yun focus ring,and may aperture ring pa. but meron din dito akong mga kasama na canon lenses all the way ang gaganda din naman ng output...palagay ko preferences na lang nila yan...malaking bagay yung tilting LCD,believe it or not...makakatipid ka talaga kaysa bibili ka pa ng LCD separately.

Ofcourse you always have to buy the best that you can afford. But don't limit the option of "best" to just camera bodies. The D7000 maybe the best BODY right now for DX, but it's not the best OPTION.

When somebody is asking for advice on which gear to buy you don't just recommend the newer, better spec'd equipment, look at the picture as a whole. Sure he has 61k to blow, but it doesn't mean its wise to spend all his 61k. That's why I recommend going for the D90+17-50mm and set what's left of the cash aside, the D90 is not the best BODY, but this combination plus cash on the side is the best OPTION.

Assuming the TS is only gonna use the video feature for one class, then D90 should suffice, if he plans to go and videography, he should consider the 60D or 600D

what is your checklist of features that you are looking for? make a list and group those that you think you cannot compromise. perhaps writing them down and maybe share it with us can help in making the right decision.

like what i always say...if you can stretch a bit more and get the better option,then by all means get the best that you can afford. rather than selling what you just got for a loss and buying the other thing  
plus the D7000 video is a lot better than the D90's video. ang layo talaga   i sure wished that i had the D7000 dati on my old job where i really abuse the D90's video...pero syempre wala pang D90 noon...so all i can do is make do back then...

pero kung talagang wala at mapipilitan, a used D90 is the way to go,or even a canon 550D na mas maganda video.

another thing in acquisition, always look at yourself 6 months from now, will you outgrow your gears? look at the industry,will the gear that you like be most likely be grossly outperformed? or will you be happy just to take pictures and omit the better features in favor of other stuff? will you look back and wished you got the better stuff? just like choosing a wife...you have to look at the future...tignan mo yun nanay nya, kung mataba, tataba din si misis   basta ako, gusto ko pareho  kami ng hobby   happy na ako kahit lumobo pa sya,may marie france naman hihihi

nangyari sa akin noon ito at medyo malaki laki na din nilugi ko from the "pwede na" attitude,selling stuff and buying the thing that i should've gotten in the first place...hindi ako master but i do use my stuff to the best of my capabilities din  

wag lang matulad dun sa pobreng mama na magpapakapatay gutom makabili lang ng lens para makapag chicks. not to judge his determination pero twisted talaga yun philosophy. it is for his own good.

video performance advantages of the D7000 that the D90 does not have are the ffg:

ntsc or pal framerates, no need to resample

flicker reduction,hindi na ako mapipiltan gumamit ng ilaw na walang ballast,or rent those expensive arri lights

goodbye rolling shutter, sa D7000 meron pa din ng kaunti na lang. halos wala na...pero sa D90,mahihilo ka. a bad thing for me who does a living tracking videos,at least sa mga jobs ko noon. i hardly deal with this on my current job

a very good compression format in h264, d90 uses motion jpeg avi...not very ideal

the ability to use,mount and meter with manual focus lenses means that you can meter and do artsy fartsy stuff before you actually shoot video. and mas OK ang communication between manual focus lens and the body

100% viewfinder coverage, this is VERY essential in shooting videos. maganda pa nga kung may lampas eh,this way you can see what is going into the frame before it gets in,therefore anticipate you focus and framing.
