Sony a68 Vs Nikon D7000 – Where Both Cameras Get It Right

First off, both of these cameras have viewfinders, this gives a well framed preview of the subject before shooting, however the viewfinders of the Sony a68 Vs Nikon D7000 function differently.

The viewfinder of the Sony A68 is electronic while that of the Nikon D7000 is optical. The electronic viewfinder is a more screen like viewfinder, while the optical viewfinder is seeing right through the lens of the camera.

The two cameras also have a built-in flash and external flash shoe. These features are both important for light enhancement. However, the built-in flash is designed to function independently as a part of the camera.

The external flash shoe requires that you purchase an external flash. This external flash is mostly important for flash photography and cases where you need more lighting than the built-in flash can provide.

These two cameras offer great picture quality in that they both support RAW file format. This version of the image is uncompressed and unedited which means that every detail from the shot is retained.

Also, both of these cameras have face detection focus and a microphone port. Face detection makes shooting portraits more precise in focus and exposure, while the microphone port is important for shooting videos if you’ll have clean audio.

Finally, these two cameras are both great when used in continuous shooting mode. This allows you to shoot multiple images at a go, giving you the liberty to select the one that suits you best.

Sony a68 Vs Nikon D7000 – Comparative Brand Strengths

The two cameras in comparison – Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 – are from big players in the camera industry, Sony and Nikon. Both of these brands originate from Japan.

Sony is known for a lot of fields including electronics, gaming and entertainment. In the camera industry, Sony is most popular for its mirrorless cameras, which are gradually becoming very popular in the European market.

However, when placed next to Nikon in most parts of North America (especially DSLRs), Nikon is a more popular brand for its DSLR cameras.

Unlike Sony, Nikon deals mostly in imaging and optics. It shares the top spot as the world’s biggest DSLR brand with Canon.

So, attempting to judge based on the brand in question would be difficult as they are both big brands. Hence your choice would have to be based on what the products have to offer individually.

Sony a68 VS Nikon D7000 – Common Features

Now that we have done an overview of the features of the Sony vs Nikon D7000, we shall now see features of the two cameras that make them similar. However, some might not function the same way. All that will be seen in this section.

Viewfinder

The viewfinder is a part of the camera that the photographer looks through to view the scene or subject to be shot. This helps the photographer properly frame the image before shooting.

Viewfinders come in two types, Electronic and Optical. Most times, electronic viewfinders are found in mirrorless cameras, while optical viewfinders are common to DSLRSs.

However, in comparing the Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 we found that the Sony a68 although being a DSLR, is built with an electronic viewfinder. The Nikon D7000, on the other hand, being a DSLR, is expectedly built with an optical viewfinder.

 Let us now dive deeper into the functionalities of these two types of viewfinders.

Get the Sony a68 here!	Get the Nikon D7000 here!

Electronic Viewfinder

If a camera uses an electronic viewfinder (EVF), what this means, basically, is that you’re looking at a screen. A pretty small one.

An electronic viewfinder works by electronically projecting the image captured by the lens to a smaller display. When the camera is placed to shoot, the sensor of the camera records the view of the scene through the lens, after processing this view, it is then projected to a smaller display that the user sees.

We understand that electronic viewfinders are used in mirrorless cameras because they have no mirrors However, how does it work for DSLRs which already come with mirrors?

Well, the electronic viewfinder isn’t very different from the LCD screen of the camera. The only major difference between the two is their size and the better composure gotten from using a viewfinder.

So for DSLRS, when using the electronic viewfinder, the mirror of the camera stays locked upwards, while the image from the sensor is directly sent to the EVF.

Optical Viewfinder

As we mentioned earlier, the optical viewfinder is mainly used in DSLR cameras. the optical viewfinder works with the mirror mechanism of the DSLRs.

When using an optical viewfinder, light from the scene is directed from the lens to the viewfinder using mirrors and a prism.

When the shutter button is pressed, light goes through the camera to a reflex mirror sitting at a 45-degree angle, from the mirror the light is transmitted to a prism, this prism converts the light from vertical to horizontal be redirecting it through two other mirrors to the optical viewfinder.

Get the Sony a68 here!	Get the Nikon D7000 here!

ISO Range

Basically, the ISO of a camera determines how sensitive the camera is to light. The higher the ISO value of the camera is set to, the more sensitive the camera sensor will become to light. This, therefore, makes it possible to use the camera in dark environments.

For this Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 comparison, the similarity of the ISO range of the two cameras is somewhat tricky. The ISO range of the Sony a68 is from 100 to 25600 stops, while that of the Nikon D7000 ranges from 100 to 6400 stops.

What is so tricky about that? Well, the values above are the native ISO of the cameras. There is another side to the ISO known as the extended ISO.

The extended ISO of a camera is the extreme maximum and minimum ISO that the camera can get to. The Sony a68 can’t be extended any lower or higher than that. But the Nikon D7000 on the other hand can be extended to a max ISO of 25600. Do you see it now?

Built-in Flash

As interesting and important as having a high ISO can be, there are times when a very high ISO could pose a threat to the neatness of the image. As you know, very high ISO values tend to produce noise.

Where the ISO gets to its limit, the flash takes over. A flash is very useful in low light environments, as it enhances the lighting of the scene.

The Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 are both built with built-in flashes, saving you the cost of having to purchase an external flash for light enhancement. However, the built-in flash might not be the answer to all your light enhancement questions, but it does a good job within its boundary all the same.

Get the Sony a68 here!	Get the Nikon D7000 here!

External Flash Shoe

This feature allows you to attach an external microphone to the body of the camera for light enhancement purposes. For situations where the built-in flash of the camera can’t work perfectly, the external flash becomes useful.

Also, if you’ll be looking to go into flash photography, this feature is essential for your work. In fact, any camera you’ll be purchasing must have this feature.

Both of the cameras in this Sony a68 vs Nikon D700 comparison have this feature, so whichever you choose would be fine for you if you plan to do flash photography.

RAW Support

The quality of images matters a lot to the photographer, and this feature gives the best of just that.

Saving images on the camera can be done in two formats. The first is JPEG and the other is RAW. However, JPEG is usually the default setting of the camera for saving images.

When the camera saves in JPEG, it automatically edits the file, by removing as much detail as necessary from the image, thereby reducing the size of the image. JPEG files aren’t exactly of poor quality, however, the quality of the image is reduced by the compression.

RAW image format on the other hand, is an uncompressed image file shot by the camera. This uncompressed format although large in storage size, is the best image quality the camera has to offer.

In RAW format, instead of the automatic editing and adjustments made by using the JPEG format, the RAW format gives you the option of making these adjustments yourself, to your taste.

The JPEG format is supported by devices all over the world, mostly because of its small size. The RAW format isn’t supported by some devices. However, in comparing the Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 comparison, we found that both of these cameras support RAW file format.

High Sensor Resolution

The sensor resolution of a camera is measured in megapixels (MP). A high sensor resolution is quite beneficial in three major ways: potential print size, downsampling, and heavy copping.

Like video resolution and screen size, that is the same way sensor resolution and print size works. The more the megapixels, the bigger the potential print size of the image.

For downsampling, this is when an image is shot at a higher resolution and then reduced in other to use it for some specific purposes. If the sensor resolution is higher, by the time downsampling is done the picture will still have some level of quality.

Finally, heavy cropping. Wildlife photographers appreciate heavy cropping a lot. As they can’t get to close to the action they are trying to capture, they shoot from afar and have a lot of unwanted objects in their scene.

In order to get rid of the unwanted objects and keep the attention on their main subjects they resort to cropping. Cropping generally reduces the quality of images, so if the resolution of the image is high, after cropping the image will still look sharp.

For this Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 comparison, both of the cameras have high sensor resolutions. However, that of the Sony a68 is higher by 8 megapixels.

Face Detection Focus

In cameras, face detection (also known as face-priority autofocus) is a feature that detects a human face in the shooting area so the camera can automatically set the proper focus and exposure for the shot.

The human face has a lot of easily recognizable features that the focus system locks on to (eyes, nose, mouth etc.). Detecting and locking on the face gives the camera the ability to concentrate the focus of the camera on the subject’s face, keeping the primary subject in focus.

Seeing the functions of this feature, you’d know that this feature is essential for portrait photography. Thankfully, you’d find from comparing the Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 that both of the cameras in comparison have this feature.

Microphone Port

This is another important feature for the specific purpose of taking videos that both of these cameras share. This feature allows you connect an external microphone to the camera.

Generally, most cameras are built with internal microphones, however, there is a downside to the internal microphone. The internal microphone tends to pick every sound it can detect from the environment. So if you need the sound from just one source in a noisy environment, it’d be impossible to get that with the internal microphone.

External microphones help solve this issue, the external mic keeps out as much noise as possible from the audio, picking the sound from the source is pointed at. However, if you’ll be shooting videos indoors, like air tight rooms then the internal mic might not be so bad.

Video Resolution

Still looking at features that involve the video shooting capabilities of the Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000. This one determines the size of screen that the video shot by the camera can be displayed on.

Video resolution refers to the number of horizontal lines a video possesses from the top to bottom of the screen. If you’re used to downloading video files online, then you must have come across values like, 360p, 480p, 720p and so on.

These values are all video resolutions. The 720p for example, simply means that the video has 720 horizontal lines from top to bottom that are 1280 pixels wide – that is 1280 x 720 pixels.

So, the larger the value of the video resolution, the larger the screen it can be displayed on. If the video is stretched to a screen way past its resolution, the video will turn out blurry and will be of very poor quality.

Now, let’s see a little more about these resolutions and their various limits.

First is the 360p, this screen has 360 horizontal lines one on top another from top to bottom, all of which are 480 pixels wide (480 x 360 pixels). This video resolution is restricted to smartphone and mobile devices to retain quality.

Then, there’s the 480p, this has a dimension of 852 x 480 pixels, this resolution is restricted to DVDs and Disc players.

Then moving into the High Definition zone, there’s the 720p and 1080p. The 720p is the base of high definition display. This resolution would lose its quality on screens larger than computer monitors or HD televisions.

The 1080p (1920 x 1080) is a full high definition display, best for very large TV screens, the two cameras in this Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 comparison both share this resolution.

Continuous Shooting

For this feature, the Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 slightly differ. This feature is very useful for sport photography, and works involving constantly moving subjects.

The continuous shooting mode has several other names like, burst mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode. When the shutter button is pressed or held down, the camera continues to take successive shots.

This feature becomes very useful when you’re trying to capture a particular perfect moment, within the collection of shots the camera has taken in burst mode, the moment you meant to capture is most likely there.

Now, both the Sony a68 and Nikon D700 both have good continuous shooting speed. However, the continuous shooting speed of the Sony a68 is higher by two frames per second (the measuring unit of the continuous shooting mode).

Shutter Speed

This is one of the three determining factors of the exposure of the images shot by the camera. It is the amount of time the sensor of the camera is exposed to light.

Shutter speed is measured in fractions of seconds (i.e 1/6000), the larger the value of the denominator, the faster the shutter speed of the camera. What you set the shutter speed value to depends on what you have in mind for the image.

Fast shutter speeds are majorly useful for shooting subjects in motion. Now, if you intend to have that fast motion feel to the image, like shooting a waterfall or moving car, for that motion to be present a low shutter speed becomes necessary.

Then, if you want to freeze time and motion in the image, then you’ll need a very high shutter speed value to do that. It is important to note that a very low shutter could be problem when shooting hand-held, because, while the shutter is open, any slight movement will result in blurry shaky images.

The shutter speed range of the Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 also differs. Although the two cameras both have high max shutter speeds, the max shutter speed of the Nikon D7000 is higher than that of the Sony a68.

Sony a68 Vs Nikon D7000 – Unique Features

For this section, we’ll be seeing features that make these two cameras different.

Image Stabilization

The function of the image stabilization feature basically, is to prevent you from turning out blurry images due to shakes during hand-held shots.

Image stabilization works basically with two gyro sensors. These sensors detect the magnitude and angle of the shake and adjust to counter the movement.

However, image stabilization can only save you in situations involving very slight movement. If there is a big shove or complete movement or position change while the shutter is still open, the image stabilization cannot save you from that.

This feature is unique to the Sony a68. The Nikon D7000, on the other hand, is not built with this feature.

Get the Sony a68 here!	Get the Nikon D7000 here!

Articulating Screen

One of the things photographers enjoy a lot is the flexibility to try out different things while shooting. And this is what an articulating screen gives you. You get flexibility to try out different shooting positions while taking photos or shooting videos.

An articulating screen is a screen that can move in different directions. There are three types of articulating screens.

The first type is called the tilting screen. This screen has the ability to move about just one axis, tilting slightly upwards and downwards as the name rightly relates.

The second type is the fully articulated screen. This screen has a lot of other names one of them being swivel screen. This screen can move about to angles that are at right angle to each other, thereby, having the ability to both tilt and swivel.

The last type is called the cross-tilt or flex-tilt. This screen moves about a variety of angles, tilting horizontally, vertically and rotates a certain angle while staying aligned to the camera lens.

The Sony a68 is the only camera in this Sony a68 vs Nikon D700 comparison with an articulated screen, and it is of the tilting type.

Environmental Sealing

A lot of things cause cameras to get damaged, but the most common is entrance of water, dust or sometimes snow. This feature is added to the design of the camera to keep it safe from all those.

Environmental sealings are added to parts of the camera that have openings that could let in this harmful elements.

So, if you’ll be shooting outdoors, wildlife, landscape or even in the streets, this feature is essential if your camera is to last without suffering damage from weather conditions.

The Sony a68 isn’t designed with environmental sealings, but the Nikon D7000 is.

Get the Sony a68 here!	Get the Nikon D7000 here!

Smartphone Remote Control

This feature as the name implies lets you control the camera with the use of a smartphone without having direct contact with the camera.

Remote control can be very useful for a lot of situations. For example, shooting scenes that might be too dangerous for you to be around, shooting in rain and more.

Once you have your phone connected to the camera, you can always find a safe spot and shoot from there. All you need is a Wi-Fi enabled camera and a smartphone.

This feature is one of the best form of remotely controlling the camera as it gives you a live view of the scene. So if you are unable to be around the scene, this feature lets you have a preview before shooting.

With this feature you can conveniently transfer images to your smartphone, edit and share them, without ever touching a computer system. In this Sony a68 vs Nikon D7000 comparison, only the Sony a68 has this feature.
