yes its coz of focussing, its normal. They were not ment to be used for video shooting at those times. So that much sound is fine. Aperture opening closing dont make any sound .

Thats the reason canon release STM lenses specially for video, they are super silent. Even nikon's new range of lenses are more silent then older AFS.

Sujoy, If you want to try using aperture ring on your D7k with a D lens, this is how it is done.

You need to set Custom Setting f6 on the D7000. Choose to use the aperture ring instead of the sub-command dial to control the aperture. Once you select that option, you can use the aperture ring in A or M mode.

:) No no its ok I am happy using AF and aperture control in-camera. Remember I had a 55mm 2.8 manual Macro lens. I had to use it like that only on every Camera

I don't know if any other photography thread exists so I am posting these here. Shot with a Zenfone 5 and edited in-phone.

Nikon has cancelled the DL series of cameras without ever launching them (I don't think there were any previous DLs). Seems to be another nail in the compact camera coffin. Wonder if the Canon G Series will be next, or if this is just a Nikon issue.

I didn't expect this and I wouldn't expect Canon or anyone would axe their 1 inch compacts line in the near future.

It is possible that Sony wouldn't let Nikon do that. Sony wants to beat Canon and they don't need to compete with Nikon. But another possibility is that Nikon doesn't have the resources now. The company has announced a 1,000 person layoff in their imaging and lithography division and said they will now focus on profit growth instead of revenue growth. Mirrorless cameras may not yet be a profitable division. Does Sony make profits off its cameras? I remember reading a few years that ago that Sony makes a loss on all electronics, and its most profitable business is selling insurance.

I’ve been wondering for some time now if Nikon’s camera division will go to Sony. It won’t happen immediately, but if DSLRs are on the way out and mirrorless becomes mainstream Nikon may not be in good shape. They already get the sensor from Sony and with on-chip PDAF that will also come from Sony. The recent sales data shows that Nikon is losing in the lens market as well (to a 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] party manufacturer) and Nikon is not present in the video field so where does that leave Nikon? If the upper end of the market has room only for two players we are bound to see consolidation and the logical choice is for Sony and Nikon to merge their camera divisions as they already have so much overlap.

And in other news it has been a busy day for Canon with multiple announcements:
800D – Upgrade to the 750 D with 45 all cross type autofocus points (no mention yet of any dual cross type).

77D – Upgrade for the 760D perhaps that has seen its name upgraded to the XXD nomenclature. Is mostly similar to the 800D with a few bonus features like the 80D’s exposure meter. Both 800D and 77D have dual pixel autofocus in live mode which Canon claims is the world’s fastest AF speed of 0.03 seconds. I don’t know what the fine print is on that claim, but it will be interesting to see what the real world results are like. If it really works well I think we will soon see a full frame mirrorless from Canon.

M6 – The one that is most interesting to me. Same 24.2 MP sensor with Dual Pixel AF. Electronic viewfinder EVF-DC2 is a separate buy and does not tilt unlike the DC1. The camera is compatible with the DC1 so we can now choose what type of EVF we want. If this camera is a success we might see 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] party EVFs as well, just like flashes and lenses.

EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM kit lens for the DSLRs – Why f/4 and not f/3.5? No news yet but the lens is supposed to be 20% smaller than its predecessor.

Bluetooth remote control – Don’t other manufacturers have a Bluetooth remote control? They specifically mention that this is for situations where line of sight is not available.

Should wait for the full tests to know about all the other features not mentioned here.

CIPA only publishes total shipment collective of all the makers. I have searched many times, never could able to find the segment wise/manufacturer wise/model wise numbers. Will see where will Nikon be in the next 5-10yrs. I believe they will still be in the business.

63 grand for 800D is too much.
Lately, prices from this segment of cameras stay there around the launch price. D5500/750D/760D still selling around the launch price and that helps the makers to price higher for the successive models.

Since they re-branded 760D line, I thought they would be priced much higher, close to 80D. It's not :)

Canon have been doing this in compacts, making cameras with slower lens. Now they've brought it to DSLR too.

You can go for D610, but you have to ditch some of the lenses. So [strike]D7300[/strike] D7200 may be a better option.
