So, I am looking at a nikon DSLR. I spoke to a professional topside photographer friend of mine and she recommended a D7000 (she uses a D700).
The camera will be used both topside and underwater - but from an underwater perspective - are there any glaring deficiencies between the d7000, the d5100, and the d90 that would make a significant diffence? It looks like they all use the same sensor? I know there are control issues (one wheel vs two wheels for f-stop and shutter speed). The lenses that I would most likely use are a 60mm macro and the 10-17 toktino, and maybe an intermediate lense.
One thing that was mentioned by my friend was the superior ability at high ISO with the d7000 - one thing I have never really used with my current p5100 - I get so much noise above 200 that I rarely use it there.
Thanks
