I bought this camera from my local dealer a few months ago and got a chance to give it a real workout on a trip to MN recently. I think this is a great camera and have had no back-focus issues some have mentioned.When I was shopping for this camera I compared it to an APS-C Canon in the same price range (7D maybe?), and also compared it with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Fuji X-Pro1, both of which seem to have great reputations.The Fuji was really, really, tempting but in the end I had read too many reviews on too many sites about strange focusing behavior and various other problems and quirks. The Fuji also lacked image-stabilization in the body or in any of the lenses available at the time. The Oly looked like a nice camera on paper but when I held it in my hands, it was a lot smaller than I expected and felt very light (I wanted a more solid feeling camera - just my preference). It also uses a micro 4/3 sensor which is noticeably smaller than the APS-C sensors used in the D7000 (and its corporate brethren). I don't know how much difference the smaller micro 4/3 sensor makes in real life, but it was just another nail in the coffin for the Oly for me.The other issue I had with the Oly and the Fuji is that the bodies are so small that a lot of functionality is done via menus, and I HATE menus on cameras. I had an old Canon F1 film body for a long, long time and really like it. Built like a tank, no electronic menus - everything was run via buttons and dials. More recently I had an Olympus E-20 ZLR and it, too, offers much of its functionality via buttons on the camera body. I have used plenty of cameras with all the settings buried under menus and just can't stand that. So any camera that is menu-intensive is out of the picture for me.I am the proverbial "bull in china shop" and am not as careful as I should be, so I needed a camera that would withstand me. The D7000 feels very solid and hefty and has a magnesium shell under the plastic exterior which helps make it more durable for people like me. The "solid" feeling reminds me a lot of the Nikon D300 (I've never owned one but have played around with a few at the local camera store) and the D300 is supposed to be a pro or semi-pro model.The D7000 has plenty of buttons - ISO, +/- exposure adjustment, shooting modes (P/A/S/M/scene modes), spot/center-weighted/matrix metering setting, DOF preview, and a function button to which you can assign just about any function you like. There are about fix or six buttons vertically oriented to the left of the LCD on the back of the camera.The viewfinder coverage is ~100% so pretty much what you see in the viewfinder is what you'll get in the final image - nothing is visible in the viewfinder that is cropped out in the final image and nothing outside of the viewfinder shows up in the final image.The cameras shoots RAW, JPG, and RAW + JPG. I've never shot RAW before and can definitely tell the difference between RAW and JPG but when manually editing RAW files in Lightoom, I have a hard time matching the quality of the JPG straight out of the camera. I'll probably still shoot RAW + JPG for special trips but shoot mostly JPG for less special events.The one bone I have to pick with the D7000 and Nikon is the infamous Nikon over-exposure issue. I had read about this before I bought the camera and so kind of knew I might run into it. I was shooting lots of pictures with blue sky and some with Lake Superior in the picture (either or both). I found that with any significant amount of water or blue sky in the picture, the D7000 is going to blow out the highlights at the metered setting. I used matrix metering to meter the scene in general, and I also used the spot meter to meter off of grass, rocks, pavement, etc. to get an approximate 18% gray metered value and still got blown (overexposed) highlights. If I'm shooting a scene that has grass, rocks, trees, flowers, etc. but no sky, the D7000 metered exposure is pretty much right on. What I found is that I have to set the the +/- exposure setting to -0.5 or -0.7 in most cases when overexposure is possible. This brings the highlights under control. I have the camera set to display flashing red color in the image playback to show me parts of the image that have clipped (seriously overexposed) highlights and I have the histogram enabled too (it shows all three channels - R,G,B, plus luminosity) so I can see what channel(s) are clipping when I get flashing highlights on image playback. So an exposure adjustment of -0.7 or so usually tames the highlights.The camera also offers an Active D-Lighting feature which helps bring the shadows and highlights under control when enabled. I was shooting waterfalls in MN recently and some of the waterfalls are in shady areas and/or in deep gullies, yet some sky is in the picture too. I underexpose (according to the meter) to keep from blowing out the sky (i.e.. having the sky get be so overexposed that it is completely white and washed out) and th

The Nikon D7000 is truly wonderful to use. This camera is cram-packed full of performance and features that put it punching well above it's class.PERFORMANCE:The most impressive thing about the D7000 is image quality; incredibly high dynamic range and color depth create crisp, punchy images that pull out incredible detail in the darks and highlights. ISO performance is also a good selling point; this is argued by many, but I find the D7000 can create usable non-distracting images all the way up to ISO 5000, and below 3200 the images are fantastic. The new image processor in the D7000 is great at giving the images a film-like grain under high sensitivity and does a great job of curbing the noise. The new color metering system is generally very accurate and adapts well to changing light, though it often over-exposes by about a 1/3 stop in bright sunlight. The Autofocus is very customizable and overall is impressively quick, snappy, and accurate. The 39 focus point selection is easy to use and comes in handy when using variable selection. Set to subject tracking, the AF is stunning and seems to know exactly what you are going to do - I commend Nikon here greatly. The viewfinder is huge for a DX camera and is completely accurate to the final framing (100% accuracy); it's also very bright with a well thought-out layout of information. Shooting is seamless and breathtaking; 6 frames per second and a great trigger are to help here. Video performance is strong, though not as strong as I would have hoped; don't bother with continuous autofocus as it's not useful. Battery life is very good on the D7000; I can go for a few weeks of shooting on and off before worrying about charging the battery (which charges quickly).CONTROLS & FEATURES:Nikon did their homework here; the D7000 has the best button layout/ergonomics of any SLR I've used. I can do nearly everything without going into the menu - in fact it's possibly my least used button on the camera. All major controls can be accessed with one hand with the exception of the ISO button being to the left of the LCD (the only major complaint I have with this camera's ergonomics). I love the lockable drive-mode dial under the shooting-mode dial; it's incredibly handy. The thing that struck me the most was how customizable this camera is; the menus are fantastic and very deep and you can save several shooting setups within the menus and on the control dial (U1, U2). There are many buttons that can be re-assigned and programed in many configurations. The top LCD is a little small, but provides loads of information; I just wish it had an extra spot to show your ISO without replacing the remaining frame-count. The addition of the professional trigger from the top-guns of the Nikon DSLR range is great; I love the firm, but 'squishy' feel that gives a very accurate release point. Size and weight are good, but I wish there was more space for fingers (the optional battery grip fixes this issue). I am very glad Nikon decided to put in a dual-SD card slot, though CF would have been nice too... but really, I'm asking too much considering the incredibly generous feature list. The AF selection button located on the manual-auto lever is nice, but is a bit hard to reach. The LCD is very high-resolution and offers good contrast and color for accurate photo-previews.BUILD QUALITY:The D7000 feels like a brick, and I mean that in the best possible way. Nikon's choice to go for a chunky magnesium block for the frame was a good one; this camera feels very, very well made. The seams and edges meet very nicely and the rubber surfaces are adequately grippy. The control dials are also grippy and come in handy during hot days (sweaty hands). This camera just oozes quality and thoughtful design; bravo Nikon!PROS:- Ridiculous performance/ features for the price- Outstanding image quality- Outstanding dynamic range and color-depth- Sharp, contrasty images that render beautifully- Great images up to ISO 3200, usable up to 5000; not bad for a veteran of the current DSLR market- All around good AF system- Huge, 100% accurate viewfinder- 6 fps- Great shooting modes and controls- Very deeply customizable menus/controls- Well thought out ergonomics and controls that just work. Period.- Built like a magnesium tank- Has many pro features from higher-end camerasCONS:- Small-ish in size (could be a pro if you like this)- Overexposes slightly in bright sunlight- Average video performance (not a bad thing, just not as exemplary as the rest of this camera's performance)- ISO button needs to be near the exposure comp/ metering buttons (or at least on the right side)- ISO range could be better- Top LCD has no default spot for the currently set ISO- Body-grip rubber could be grippier- No CF slot, though dual SD is niceOverall the Nikon D7000 has strengthened my faith in Nikon for delivering top of the line performance in incredible packages. If you're not ready for FX, this is the next best thing.

I've used Nikons for years and was really excited to get the D7000, in part because I could shoot video with it. I've had it for just over two years, and it just died - apparently a shutter failure, though I'm awaiting a verdict from Nikon repair. It died at 48,000 clicks - about a third of its promised life. I treat the camera with care. Needless to say, given the original cost of this camera, I'm not at all happy.My other issue: I've had focus problems with the D7000 from the start. My old D80 had rock-solid autofocus; the D7000, even when using single-point focus, never did. So for all the professional event shoots I do, I've had to manually focus the camera. Yes, that's unacceptable, but till now (with the shutter failure), I hadn't wanted to deal with Nikon service. Now I get to see if I'm one of the lucky ones when it comes to timely repair - I'll post an update when I know.Of course, the camera has many good points, including great resolution and highly customizable settings. I love the user profiles that allow me to program all the settings I need to shoot lightning, for instance, and get there with one turn of the switch. The video is pretty, though I wish it shot 1080p at 30fps (you have to go to 720 on this camera to get that frame rate; newer models remedy this issue). Serious video people will not like the lack of a headphone jack to monitor audio, but if you just want pretty shots, it does the job. (Especially if you don't pan too much, and if you can put it on a tripod and focus manually, because the autofocus is dreadful. At least on mine.) Having two SD card slots is awesome. The camera handles well. Battery life is terrific. There is a lot to like. But again, dying a third of the way through its projected life, and out of warranty, is discouraging.EDIT POST-REPAIR: I was impressed that Nikon got the camera back to me in two weeks, door-to-door. It's working very well with some heavy use, and the focus is working much better, too. In addition to the shutter mechanism replacement, Nikon's repair center adjusted the focus and cleaned the sensor. I'm happy with the camera.EDIT Aug. 11, 2013: Just four months after the April repair, my Nikon has died again. I've tried all the conventional resets, swapping out of battery, lenses and cards, and a firmware update, but it's making floppy sounds when I press the shutter button and has the "ERR" message. I am a pro and use the camera a lot, but I treat it well. It died when I was shooting photos on a tripod - it just stopped working. I'm about to try to resolve this with Nikon service, but at this point, I would NOT recommend this camera. I have downgraded the review to two stars.UPDATE Aug. 26, 2013: I have to give Nikon props for fixing the camera for free this time and getting it back to me in less than two weeks. The shutter mechanism was again replaced. Nikon's service has been good.UPDATE May 15, 2014: For this first time since I'd had the camera repaired, I attempted to do a long exposure to shoot a rocket launch a couple of months ago and realized it had a new problem: excessive green noise in long exposures. So excessive, that at 43 seconds, the frame had turned completely green. Even with a three-second exposure, the green noise starts to appear (not just color, but noise, too). Noise reduction cannot solve the problem. I shoot a lot of lightning and night shots, and I had never seen this issue before. After a frustrating exchange with Nikon's online support, which at first suggested I just shoot shorter exposures, I've now been told it has to go back in for repair. I am considering not throwing good money after bad. I will update if I get it repaired.At this point, I would not recommend the D7000.

I am a semi-professional photographer and have been shooting, with a variety of cameras, since the early 1960's. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie in 1960-or-so, followed my a Nikkormat in 1964.Since then I have had all kinds of film and digital bodies including Pentax, Nikon and Sony ultra-zooms.I had several of the earliest digital cameras, starting with the 2/3 megapixel Casio OM models, the Sony F series (great cameras in their days) and a variety of Nikon DSLRs, starting with the D70, and including the D200/300. Never went for full-frame because I shoot events, often from the back of a theater or arena, and appreciate the extra crop that comes with an APS-C sensor.But nothing, no camera I've ever owned, holds a candle to the D7000. Sometimes a manufacturer just gets everything right, and this is one of those times.DUO CARD SLOTSHaving two SD card slots means never having to say "I'm sorry". I use 2 16GB cards and when one is full, the camera switches over the other - which is only one of the two-slot options. Another is using one for photos, one for video.BATTERIESEven before receiving my D7000 body, I purchased an extra battery and worried that I might need a third. Many of my assignments require more than 1000 shots and quite a few hours on the shoot. But I'm stunned: I've never yet had the battery run out and had to switch to the second battery! In fact, I've shot multiple events without recharging between events, something I've never even considered doing with any previous camera! I don't know how they did it, but it is nothing less than amazing. I'll never forget losing shots at a New Year's fireworks display when my battery died in the middle of the show! Will never happen with the D7000.IMAGE QUALITYWhat can I say - it's the best image quality I've ever experienced, film or digital. Because many of my shoots are at low-light indoor events, I always used f/2.8 lenses and often shot wide-open at ISO 400. Result: low shutter speed and many shots lost to motion blur and the tiny depth of field of a wide-open f/2.8 aperture. Now I shoot at ISO 1600, smaller apertures, and totally acceptable shutter speeds - and I get pictures that need little post-processing and make my clients very, very happy.At ISO 1600 RAW, at a pixel level, there is a bit of noise. But it's like no noise I've ever seen before: it's so fine-grained and uniform that I can print without doing any noise reduction, or use just a hair of N/R to clean it up completely without sacrificing detail. Even my ISO 2500 shots come out better than my ISO 400 shots on the D200/D300! So impressive.AUTOFOCUSTo be honest, I was a bit disappointed, at first, at the quality of the autofocus - it was very fast, but not always accurate. I did fine-tune the AF for my lenses, which helped. But one day, on a lark, I switched from single-shot to continuous autofocus (AFC), which I rarely used in the past (with the exception of shooting sports), because I was annoyed by the lag and the number of out-of-focus shots the cameras allowed.But the D7000 is another story, entirely. I now shoot everything in AFC. It is thrilling to watch how fast the AF adjusts when you move the camera or zoom the lens - and I almost never miss focus on a shot, now. On top of that, you have predictive autofocus in AFC mode, where the camera calculates the motion of the subject and adjusts focus based on a mathematical calculation. The D7000 AF is faster and more accurate than any camera I've ever used. Bravo, Nikon!OTHER PROSThe Viewfinder is immaculate, bright and offers 100% coverage. No more framing errors! No more side-cropping needed!Video quality is excellent, though I don't use 1080p, since it can usually only be burned to Blu-Ray and my clients still want DVD presentation, so I stick to 720p. The results have been really excellent, though for best results, I recommend an external microphone setup (which I recommend for ANY serious video).CONSFor my needs and tastes, this camera has very, very few cons. I find the two-hands ISO setting to be a bit of a pain and usually have to use the menu on the LCD to accomplish it correctly.And I was a bit disappointed to discover that the artificial horizon, which I really need for stage shots, was only on the rear screen, and not in the viewfinder.It's not a big deal to me, since I shoot video at 720p/30fps, but the 1080p video only allows a frame rate of 24fps.All in all, the D7000 is the best camera I've ever owned, and its reasonable price just blows me away! I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone from a beginning DSLR user to a pro needing a second body and everyone in between. The move from the D300s to the D7000, to me, is a no-brainer.

I have been old-school for all of my years of photography. I have probably over 1,000 if not 2,000 film photos (I would have to go back and manually count becuse I have lost some over the years and various people have gone through, moved, taken, etc... them). My wife bought a hybrid Canon S3 is camera about 7 years ago. It is a pretty nifty little camera. It takes long exposures and has various shooting modes, but has a fixed (zoom) lens and only a few bells and whistles. I was hoping that we would get to go for another trip to Peru for my birthday, but, alas, finances... For my consolation prize, I finally upgraded to a true dSLR- the Nikon D7000 DSLR to go with my lenses (mainly Nikkor). I received it about 9 days ago. I started reading the manual, but at 300+ pages, finally decided to dive in. I read how to set-up the camera and went for it. Over the years, I have pretty much decided that I like aperature-preferred shooting except for shooting B&W infrared. I used a hand-held light meter and had to set the shutter speed manually for that. Anyway, back to the D7000. It has an shutter speed from 1/8,000th (!!!) of a second all the way to the equivalent to cable release. You do need a remote to take full advantage of this. Holding the shutter button down manually or even just pressing twice can cause all kinds of havoc on long exposures. The "bulb" setting allows you to totally override the shutter speed regardless of lighting conditions. This camera will do pretty much anything an old-school film SLR can do. It has about every bell and whistle you can imagine or want. So far I have been happy with the results and the images are clear and sharp. I have yet to take full advantage of everything. In the half-week I have been playing with it, I have shot in aperature-priority mode for pretty much all of my shots. I have played with the D-lighting, ev values, and a couple of other features. I am really excited about trying out the continuous high-speed mode (up to 100 photos by holding down the shutter- you won't have to worry about camera shake at 1/8,000th of a second! lol) and the strobe-effect flash. I might try to see if the two options can be done at high shutter speeds. The only downsides that I have found so far are that it is DX-format (not really its fault, it is what it is); light output of flash is lame; even at the high D-light setting; there is really not much of an increase in contrasting detail (will have to experiment more); some of the commands are not intuitive (with as many options as it has, not too surprising); and a really weird thing happened while I was photographing the moon, Venus, and Jupiter conjuction. When I gave the ev value a positive response (even at 0.3!), the moon ghosted on another part of the frame.(?!?) I will have to do some research to see whether it is the camera, the lens, or maybe even just the angle of the shot. These issues are the only reasons that I did not give this 5 stars are because of the flash and the mysterious ghosting in that one series of shots. In conclusion, with the shots I have tried (and I have played with more settings than some people ever will), this appears to be a VERY solid dSLR. This is a great dSLR and the flash is the main limiting factor for this level of camera. This can be remedied by using an SB-700 or other flash, but having to shell out more money kind of sucks. I have absolutely no regrets with this purchase. The packaging was great and Amazon shipped it out quickly. It comes with nice accessories such as an eyepiece cover (useful for those long exposures). With things like exposure lock, focus lock, white balance, being able to do post-editing within the camera (better than using outside software), and quite a few other features, this camera will keep even the most serious amatuer happy. You might consider going for the FX version at another $1K, but that is the cost of a good Nikkor lens, for not THAT much of an upgrade. At that point, you might as well go for the D800E. Unless you are a professional photographer, you would buy a Nikon D4, this camera is a GREAT value for its price. Enjoy and fill up that 32 gig memory card of which you can have TWO at once!!! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this camera and would buy this camera again.

I purchased this camera bundle in anticipation of a big European excursion, which I would like to document photographically. I enjoy shooting landscapes, architecture, and wildlife. After a lot of research, I decided on the D7000 as an upper level consumer camera, and the 18-200mm lens as a versatile lens solution for all the situations I anticipated.The camera itself is phenomenal. The viewfinder is vivid and clear, everything responds nicely, and it's solid. It's weighty, but not too much, which makes sense with the metal body. The built-in flash works well, even with the long lens (though I haven't tested how it casts shadows at the largest zoom). The only issue I've had is probably more an issue of getting used to a couple nuances of the camera. There are settings for being able to shoot without focus for two of the autofocus modes, but not for AF-A, so you have to fiddle with a button or tweak the focus ring slightly before the camera will respond to the shutter button.Thus far, the lens has been great as well. I was expecting it to be bigger than it is. It extends to a reasonable length, but still not that big, and at 18mm, it's a very manageable size. Some reviews show pincushion and barrel distortion from 150-200mm or so, which is visible when shooting architectural targets with many parallel or perpendicular lines. I haven't shot such scenes yet, and haven't noticed it in other shots, but there are software updates of some kind out for the lens/nikon software things that will automatically correct it, apparently.I haven't gotten to use the instructional booklets (other than the manual) yet, so I can't comment on those.The only issue that's at all concerning is with the supplied memory card. It's a SanDisk class 10 16 gig stick, which I have paired with an equivalent Team Group card. I have been shooting RAW+JPEG, which writes raw to one card and jpeg to the other. Two or three times, the camera has stopped me during shooting (flashing error in the viewfinder, card error or something on the little display lcd), saying that the first memory card (SanDisk) has errored. Sometimes it'll be fixed by turning the camera off and on, sometimes it'll quit complaining and just show the second memory card as being inserted. If I take the card out and put it back in, it'll read it and continue. I'm hoping it's just some weird thing with the memory card, not with the memory slot in the camera.*update* As I've shot a greater variety of photos, I've noticed several gradiations of grey spots in the upper area of my pictures. They are only really obvious when shooting solid background colors, such as a blue sky. A number of reviews at various places indicated they'd had to send the body back to nikon for cleaning, because the sensor had oil spots or something similar from manufacturing that wouldn't go away with an in-camera sensor clean. I tried a series of cleans and test shots and found they went away, or I thought they did, until they showed up again later. It could also be in the inner pieces of glass in the lens for me, though I'm not sure, as I don't have multiple lenses to try. It's a bit late to send in for repairs now, since I have a trip upcoming, but that's something to keep in mind--test with various types of shots and send it in while you can if you need to.

I am a photography teacher in NYC and online. (See my Amazon profile for my website.) I teach beginner and intermediate photography students every week. I've also been a professional photographer for the last five years with images published in The New York Times, GQ, New York Magazine, Women's Wear Daily, The New York Observer, The Village Voice and Time Out New York.(This review is for beginner photographers.)If you're a beginner, you're most likely asking yourself: Nikon or Canon? Really, I feel confident in saying that you can't go wrong with either. I've used both brand's cameras extensively and find that they both offer amazing image quality with well-built, solid cameras that, if taken care of, will last decades. There are two differences between the cameras, though, that can be taken into consideration.The user-interface: If cameras were computers, Nikons would be PCs and Canons would be MACs. PCs are built for people not afraid of technology whereas Macs are built for people who want things super-easy. Nikons excel at customization options which means you'll see so many more options with the Advanced features of a Nikon than you will with a Canon. Canons, on the other hand, excel at ease-of-use for beginners. Canons offer less advanced options and can be easier to learn on. This can be frustrating down the line, though, once you've learned a lot about photography. At that point you may want all of the options that Nikon offers and be frustrated with your Canon. If you're someone who really likes to delve deep into your hobbies or if you're intent on becoming a professional photographer, I'd say a Nikon would be your best bet. If you're someone who wants to learn the basics of photography and only imagine yourself being a hobbyist, Canon would be a better option for you.Where Nikon excels: Flash photography. I often find myself in situations where I'm shooting event photography (weddings, movie premiers, benefits and galas) where I need to use a lot of flash. For this kind of photography, I'll always prefer to be shooting with a Nikon. Nikon's flash metering (how the camera magically decides how much light to fire out of the flash) is much more consistent than Canon's. You can take a Canon and shoot the same scene three times in a row with flash and all three images will be at different brightness levels. You can do the same thing with a Nikon and all three images will be wonderfully the same. If you're somebody who plans on shooting a lot with flash (indoor photography, event photography, etc.) you'll want to consider going with Nikon.Where Canon excels: Richness of colors. I've been in numerous situations where I've been on the red carpet taking the exact same picture as the photographer next to me. I'll have a Canon and the person next to me will have a Nikon. This has provided quite a few opportunities to compare the images side-by-side. What I've found is that the colors on the Canon's images look richer and make the image pop more. If I'm doing fine art photography (anything I'd like to someday hang in a gallery), I'll always want to be shooting with a Canon for this reason.If you're set on Nikon, there are three cameras you should be considering and it all comes down to what your budget is:D7000 $1,400 without lensD5100 $750 without lensD3100 $600 only available with lens(current prices as of 2/19/11)Here's what you get for spending extra money (each camera compared to the one below it):D3100 vs. D5100:The D3100 is an EXCELLENT camera so if you only have $550 to spend total on camera and lens then go out and buy this camera. You won't regret it. If you're considering spending more money, here's what you'll get from the D5100 in comparison:-Better performance in low light situations.-A higher resolution screen on the back of the camera so you can see your images more clearly and make out if they actually turned out well.-An external mic jack. (If you're planning on shooting video with an external mic, you'll want the D5100 over the D3100.)-A flip out screen (handy if you want to put your camera anywhere but at your eye level and be able to see what your camera is about to capture before you shoot it)-Faster continuous shooting. If you're often shooting sports or any fast moving subject, continuous shooting allows you to capture multiple images in a single second. The D3100 shoots at three frames per second whereas the D5100 shoots at four frames per second.-Higher ISO options. The D5100 offers one more stop of ISO than the D3100 does. If you don't know what ISO means (or what a stop is) just know that this allows you to more easily shoot images in low-light situations.-Longer battery life. The D5100's battery will last 20% longer than the D3100The two advantages of the D3100 over the D5100 are: less expensive and less weight. Whenever a camera is less expensive, it means you'll have more in your budget for the lens. The D3100 weighs 10% lighter and is 10% smaller than the D5100.D5100 vs. D700

After shooting with the Nikon D7000 for a little over two months now (mine arrived in mid February), I'm at a point where I feel comfortable putting together a brief review for those still considering making a D700 purchase. I won't try to duplicate the level of detail that you can read in some of the excellent reviews that have already been posted (here, and on many other sites), but will try to summarize some of my experiences with the camera, as well as provide some of the most important information regarding the camera. I've been primarily shooting with the Nikon 18-200mm VR lens, but have also used the Nikon f/1.8 50mm prime, as well. So, my review here will be focused on those lenses, but it is useful to have this background as you read my comments.Getting straight to the nitty-gritty, and leaving extended explanations and comments until afterwards, and based on my actual use of this camera:Pros+ Ability to shoot at extremely high ISO levels with little noise (comparatively speaking) makes this a low-light shooter's dream+ Sophisticated 39-point focus system+ Good overall image quality in a wide range of shooting situations+ Good video quality that makes up for many of the deficiencies of previous Nikon models+ Huge feature set, with large number of customizable settings surpassed only by very expensive, professional cameras+ Excellent construction quality, with few, if any, squeaks and/or loose assembly parts+ Large set of "mechanical" controls, including switches, knobs, and assignable buttons which allow you to shoot without being required to dig through menus+ Optical viewfinder amongst the best you will see in the camera's price range+ LCD display at top of camera displaying current settings+ Built-in autofocusing mechanism allows for the widest range of compatibility with past and current Nikon lenses+ Extremely good battery life - I'm getting 400-500 shots on a single battery (no flash)+ Quick turn-on time; it's ready almost as soon as you flip the switch+ Excellent rear display that provides good resolution imaging and also provides an excellent setting display (each when activated)+ Dual-card SDXC memory slots which can be set for either simultaneous (i.e., duplicate) or consecutive (i.e., switches to card 2 when card 1 is full) writing+ Reasonable pricing, when you consider what you getCons- A bit heavy; this thing can wear you out after a few hours- Although many report a comfortable grip, the size of the camera could have been smaller (this is personal taste, however)- No articulated display screen (the lack of which really limits video taking, but for those of us who have for years used an articulated display for photography, it's a real shortcoming, and one that is not easy to work around - again, as it pertains to PHOTOGRAPHY, this is a very personal taste issue; for VIDEO, which this camera shoots quite well, it's a real shortcoming)- LiveView is still too slow to be really feasible (and can in no way match Sony's SLT cameras and some of their traditional SLRs, some of which focus instantaneously in LiveView; if you are looking for LiveView, I suggest you look elsewhere)- Power on/off flip switch feels somewhat mushy, with no clear click position for On" (and its wild just how much this can bother me over time)- Battery charger design is too large, and does not have foldable prongs for the wall outlet (who at Nikon can overlook such simple, but important things as this?)- No built-in GPS (can't believe its not included at this price; it's an optional component)- Pricing is unlikely to come down in the near futureThere is no reason to try and deny it: the Nikon D7000 is, in many respects, an amazing camera. As I mentioned above, one of the areas in which I have been most impressed is the camera's ability to have it set way up to 2,400 ISO and even higher and then just be used to knock off good quality photos in very low light settings at noise levels that were typically associated with cameras shooting at 400 ISO. In a pinch, you can move the ISO way up to 6,400, and although at this point noise is a real factor, you can still get some shots that would have been impossible before. But even at modestly high ISO levels in the 2000's and 3000's level, you can take shots with little noise, and this is, where in my mind, the camera really stands out from many others (the camera uses the same Sony sensor used in Sony's SLT a55 camera, which may largely account for this capability).The camera feels tightly built and well constructed. Whether or not it is 100% magnesium construction underneath (you can read this debate in many online postings), the camera feels much more like a professional camera that a lower cost entry level model. The grip and design of the camera make holding the unit comfortable, although it is a bit on the large side (some people like the large size to help them hold the camera better). In addition, the camera is physically heavier than I would prefer, and I find myself d

Love this camera. If you are an enthusiast, this camera is a worthy upgrade from a D3100 or D5100; lots of buttons and dials for quick changes, two custom modes, tight and quiet shutter, viewfinder grid and virtual horizon, built-in flash commander mode, dual card slots, bright 100% viewfinder, and more. Love it. Love Nikon ergonomics.Only one problem that almost made me return it: skin tones were terrible, especially compared to the king of skin tones, my trusty Fuji S5 Pro. With the same lens (the Nikon 17-55), I took some raw and jpeg pictures (raw ones processed in Lightroom 4 and Dxo 7.5) and compared them to the raw and jpeg ones from the Fuji. The D7000 jpeg were shot in the Portrait and Standard picture modes. The Standard mode was downright wrong: too contrasty and saturated (I used it for a couple of shots, just to test it since it's the default one). The Portrait mode was also bad: skin tones were a horrid combination of green, orange, and yellow. No pink. This is where I almost returned the camera.Yet, I couldn't do it. I loved everything else about it. Did some online research and found out others were complaining about the same issue. One photographer recommended customizing the Neutral picture mode by shifting Hue to -1. That was good advice.After much testing with wife and children as test subjects, I came up with a custom picture mode that gives me skin tones that I like (don't tell anyone, but I might like them even better than the Fuji ones, well, almost. My non-photographer wife still likes the Fuji colors better).First, I use an ExpoImaging ExpoDisc 77mm Digital White Balance Filter - Neutral to get the perfect white balance for my jpegs (I also tried the Expodisc Portrait, but it's too warm for my taste). I know I could shoot raw and not have to worry about white balance for every shot, and I do shoot raw for income shots, but for family and friends shots, I shoot jpeg, and the Expodisc helps me nail the white balance every time (and it's really quick to set up on Nikon DSLRs). The Expodisc is expensive, but I'm a price maven and like to get my stuff used at a discount :-). You may also play with a cheaper alternative (ColorRight) or use auto white balance; the D7000 gets the white balance right most of the time, especially outdoor.Okay, so here it is.Custom Neutral picture mode (saved as Neutral1 because I have lots of imagination)::: +5 sharpening (D7000 is soft by default). This can be changed to +4 or +6 depending on taste;:: +1 saturation (D7000 skin tones are on the pale side by default);:: -1 hue:: -1 contrast:: ADL auto (some recommend switching ADL off, but I didn't notice any color shift in skin tones with ADL off):: EV (exposure compensation) either on 0 (indoor) or 0 to -3 (outdoor). D7000 tends to overexpose outdoor sometimes.Voilà. Now I get the skin tones I like. Try it out. See if it works for you.

My first camera was a Minolta SRT 101 when I was in the US Air Force serving in Thailand in 1968. I was not really in photography when I purchased it. The first time I've ever seen a "complete" selections of cameras was at the bx store. They were Minoltas, Olympus, Nikkormats, Canons, Kodaks and Nikons. It was so intoxicating because I love prescisions in things especially wrist watches. Now, cameras? They were about half the price when I was overseas, how can I go wrong? The only name I was familiar with were Minolta and Kodak. I chosed the Minolta SRT 101 to buy, after saving a few bucks, over the others and it was a little cheaper than the others. After I got the camera I bought a small book by Kodak titled: Introduction to Photography. It covered apertures, shutter speeds, developing negatives and enlargements plus other stuffs that I skipped at first. At the base we had a photography hobby shop. I sort of checked it out and got started in developing black and white negatives and prints. The "GIs" that were with me doing thesame things were using more Nikkormats, Nikon Fs, Canons and Olympus' and very few had Minoltas. It made me wonder if I made the wrong choice. That's when I learned that Nikon F is the best one to have and professionals use mostly Nikons. Nikons have the best metering system and lenses. Nikon invented and developed most of the metering innovations, so they said. They were always sold out and in short supply. I wanted to buy one and have saved the money for it. Seemed like everyone that wanted to buy one were "camping out" the store parking lot ala BestBuys on black fridays. I didn't get a chance to get one during the rest of my stay. The name Nikon got stucked in my mind ever since until I got out of the air force in 1968. Those guys (GIs) were correct in their praise of Nikon. I was collecting photography magazines almost each time I go to magazine stands and at the super market magazine sections. I learned more about cameras from magazine reviews and users'reviews and advertisements. Going back to my first SLR camera,I never was really happy with my Minolta ever since I got it. It overexposes most of the times. I wanted to try a Nikon, I know it is a much better camera. I could hardly afford one then because I just gotten married and my wife was expecting too. I bought a Canon slr instead. To make the story short, When I began to earn more money, after a 2-3 years, was when I decided to by a Nikon (F3). I kept it for more than ten years and didn't even dream of replacing it. As a matter of fact, I have invested on several lenses for it. When the digital age came about was when I kept abreast on photography again. I decided to go digital slr just 2 or three years ago. I chosed the Canon Rebel because it was so popular and out selling Nikon. Boy, was I impressed. Nomore negatives, etc. Instant previews, pictures, nomore going to photolabs and having to wait for things. I kept the Canon for a year and a half. In fact I even purchased a Canon G7 a few months after the Rebel. I have several cons on Canon. My Rebel's metering system sucks when on automatic modes and flash shooting. In manual mode it is excellent because I am in control, if I take my time. The Rebel, if I can recall, only has 8 megapixels. When megapixels (all manufacturers) went much higher and have reached 12s and 16's was when I decided to upgrade. I chosed the Nikon D7000 over its competetitors and I love it like I loved my F3. It remined me of my F3's performance so much and of course the D7000 is alot smarter camera. It has the lowest noise even at the highest ISO setting. Of course the resolution is great because of its high megapixels. I really have nothing negative to say about this camera except for the video mode (I only gave it a try just a few times) and its weight. It seems to get heavier the longer I carry it on my shoulder. It is a few ounces heavier than the Canon because it is mostly made up of magnesium. It is a minor price to pay, though, for a topnotch camera and there are other cameras that are even heavier. Full frames? I just thought I'd mention this very minor issue that most users could live with it for lack of any major thing to complain about.

I don't care what any review says. I owned this and then traded up for the D7100. Worst mistake. The D7100 is grainy (yes yes, b/c they removed the anti-alias to make things sharper. Grainy is NOT sharper, it's just grainy.). The D7000 is smooth and beautiful. I miss the D7000 every single day. Easier to use too. Better setup, better dials, better everything. Sure the D7100 has better specs et al, but in real life the D7000 is fantastic. I am a professional photographer. I don't believe in spending $6000 dollars on a camera body because 5 years ago the D7000, for instance, would've cost $6000. It's all a game to keep us buying new cameras every year. The top camera 5 years ago used to shoot fashion is still just as good as it was 5 years ago. And looking at fashion magazines now I don't say, my goodness the cameras they use are so much better! Can't you just see how much better the photo is? That's my rant. My review is: Buy the D7000 and skip the D7100.

*** Updated 03 FEB 2011 ***1. I am very happy I chose this camera: I am just an amateur, and always wanted a Nikon DSLR (this is my first) ... because I had very good experience with Nikon Film SLR's (I have a Nikon F4) and lenses. Also, though I cannot speak for others, the issues referred to as "1" and "2" bellow do not bother me too much.1. It looks like now the price is right - Cameta Camera sells over the Net, but also has a store in Amityville (Long Island) NY.2. The Feb 2011 issue of Popular Magazine tested and compared the Nikon D7000 with the Canon 60D. The reviewers found that the 60D does a little better when it comes to noise suppression: "... despite the extra megapixels, the 60D scored a Low or better rating from ISO 100 through ISO 800, and didn't reach an Unacceptable rating until ISO 6400, while the D7000 did so at ISO 3200". With respect to autofocusing abilities,"once we turned the lights down through EV 2 (think a dimly lit interior), the Canon took a stronger lead, focusing in 0.59 sec, versus the Nikon 0.76 sec" ... the Canon managed to focus in just over 1 sec in the very dim light of EV -2, where the D7000 couldn't make it".3. I do not wish to question the reviewer's findings, but, I ask: What lenses where used in the test, in other words, what, exactly where the experimental conditions ? Where they identical, while only the bodies where different ? I could autofocus the D7000 with a Nikkor 35mm/f1.8 in less than 1 sec in a very poorly lit room (sorry, I cannot quantitate ...). By the way, while Nikon makes a 35mm/f1.8 lens, Canon makes s 35mm/f2, so ...4. My only real gripe with the D7000 vs the 60D is the absence of a movable LCD and the absence of 1080p/30fps, though I believe these features may be more useful when shooting video ... unless the sun light is reflects too much by the LCD ... but, I seldom shoot video. Had I wanted a fast focusing DSLR for video, I would have chosen the Sony Alpha 55 (fixed semi-transparent mirror -> faster autofocus).5. I do not read Ken Rockwell's reviews as if they were a Gospel ... that must be trusted (taken "ad literam"), but I often find valuable informations on his website, which I corroborate with informations from other source, some in English, some in other languages.6. Some noticed the Nikon D7000 is equipped with a Sony IMX071 sensor. True, but Panasonic (which makes its own sensors) uses Leica lenses ... A Nikon is still a Nikon, and Nikon lenses are Nikon lenses.*** Original Review 20 JAN 2011 ***I shall be brief, since lots of details are generously offered by other reviewers on Amazon and other websites.I recently bought the Nikon D7000 and two lenses.- The Nikon D7000 is an outstanding camera, it beats all Nikon DX's to date, including the Nikon D300s. IMO,in terms of design, features, ability to customize, and image quality it also beats many Canon DSLR's equipped with a sensor of about the same size. Of course, Canon offers a rotating LCD and 18 MP, but I seldom use the LCD for composition, and 18 MP is not much different than 16.2 MP, right ?! We should also remind ourselves that the Nikon APS-C (DX) sensor is slightly larger than the Canon APS-C sensor: 370 mm2 vs 329mm2 (864 mm2 is the area of "a full-size" sensor). Nevertheless, Nikon still loses to Canon when it comes to Point-and-Shoot and Bridge cameras.- I tested my new D7000 with a prime lens, the Nikkor 35mm/f1.8 and with a zoom, the Nikkor 18-200mm. I also tested the "fill-in" capabilities with two external Nikon SB units: SB-400 and SB-600. Image quality (wealth of details, sharpness, color rendition), performance, design, ergonomics, usability, fill-n flash - it's a pleasure to shoot with this camera.- I loaded one of the two compartments with a 16GB San Disk Class 10 for stills (more important when shooting in burst mode), and the other with a 16GB San Disk Class 6 for video (enough even when shooting HD).- Given the fact Nikon also comes with the excellent Nikkor Lenses, and also the best Flash system (the SB series), the Nikon D7000 offers excellent value for the price. I have not shot video yet, only photos, and compared with the Nikon 300s with a 35mm/f1.8 and with the Canon 60D with 35mm/f2.0, both owned by friends of mine.- A long and very good in-depth review of the Nikon D7000 is available from the knowledgeable Ken Rockwell - see his website.- Just buy this camera NEW, when available from Amazon, or from a reputable store promoted by Amazon (not from "these sellers"), at the right price, $1199.95, i.e. $1200. Buy it "body-only", and chose good lenses, because a good camera deserves good lenses.

I have been a Canon user since 2006. I own the Canon 5DMII, 7D, T3, xTi and several smaller point-and-shoots. I had been wanting to try Nikon to have an educated review of Canon's biggest rival, Nikon. I finally grabbed this model when it was briefly offered for under USD 997 on Black Friday. I am very impressed so far.This camera compares best to my Canon 7D but I must say there are several things that are making me like this Nikon more. It's lighter and smaller and fits my womanly hands better. It has a screen protector already on it. It focuses tact sharp most of the time. The kit comes with a very well-written manual that covers all the areas. And the USA warranty is better than anything Canon has ever offered.I am not one to say Canon is better or Nikon is better. Both make excellent cameras and lenses. Canon makes awesome "L" (for "Luxury") lenses and can't be beat at their lenses. But for more popular telezoom lenses both companies are equal. My Nikon D7000's images are clear, the colors are vibrant and it can take great photos in all lighting conditions. The lens with this camera is good enough for someone new to Nikon. There are ~TWO~ memory card slots rather than one, which is a great feature should one card fail, and all cards eventually fail. The hardest part for me as a Canonite is learning the Nikon symbols. Even the mount turns in the opposite of how the Canon mounts turn.And while my Canon 5DMII is still a better camera overall because of its sensor, full-frame capability and frames per second, I currently can't use it as it's at the Canon Factory Service Center under warranty repair. What good is a camera when it needs quick repair within six months of purchase? Canon's customer service and warranty repair are both mediocre at best.I highly recommend the Nikon D7000 for those interested in stepping up to a full dSLR camera. The price is great, too. When the price on this camera falls to below $1000 by next year, this will even be a better deal. (I bought my copy from an e-merchant other than Amazon.)I think this model will be a run-away camera for Nikon when news goes around how great this little camera truly is.

This is a review from an avid amateur user. Some people probably wonder the purpose of this "upgrade", since both D5100 and D7000 share the same sensor. It is obvious that D7000 has a tougher and heavier body. However, my main reason for the upgrade is the quality of picture. Really! From comparing and analyzing pictures taken by both cameras, I notice that pictures from D7000 are sharper and have more contrast, especially under less-than-perfect shooting conditions. The difference is from the better 39-point focus system of D7000. Under bright light, the picture quality should be very similar, if not the same. However, under low light and less contrast condition (such as foggy days), the difference is very noticeable. The D7000 performs very well and focuses accurately. Therefore, the pictures are sharper and exposed more accurately. In addition, I believe the heavier weight also play a part in sharper pictures due to less "handshake". Of course there are some personal shooting techniques and habits that can play a part in picture quality. However, this is the result from my personal experience. Furthermore, even though D7000 is heavier (than D5100), I don't feel sore or stress on my neck after half a day's shooting. It doesn't hurt either that the price on D7000 is dropping to an affordable level. The D5100 is still very good, easy to use, and an excellent entry into DSLR. However, the D7000 gives me the confidence and comfort of making something spectacular. I dare to dream.

I am relatively new in DSLR technology but I've been playing with SLR cameras for over 30 years so I shouldn't say I am completely a novice when it comes to photography. And please, since this is just my personal opinion that I just want to share with others, those who already own D7000 shouldn't feel offended by my review because this is just my personal experience I had with D7000.I first bought D90 but soon switched to d7000 because I only hear good things about it.. Like many of you, I spent days after days searching for just a right camera which can take my photography skill to the next level.Anyway, to make the long story short at first I liked the camera because it takes sharp photos with nice color rendering. I was using nikkor 35mm f 1: 1.8G lens and although it's not the best lens out there it handled the low light condition pretty well. Most of the shots I took came out pretty sharp and bright with almost no noise even at 3200 ISO. However, the more I take the photos I soon began to notice there's something lacking in the pictures. They're well focused, bright, clean and vivid so what's the problem here? The problem is that my photos do not look `natural'. It almost feel as if I am looking at, sort of like photo realistic, well drawn painting or perhaps I should say, `computer animation graphic like you see in Pixar movies. (ex. Toy Story) Of course, with Photoshop tweak that problem becomes even more apparent. If you're not sure what I mean, please go to flickr.com and type D7000 and see if you can tell the difference.But D90, on the other hand, although it wasn't as 'perfect' as I thought(good though, just not perfect) at least it gaves me realistic looking photos. I saw many review clips on Youtube that compare D7000 to D300s and explain the reasons why they think D7000 is a better choice over D300s. Well, I am begining to question if those people at youtube are truthfully being objective in sharing their honest opinion, or if they were smply hired by Nikon to promote and boost sales of new D7000. From looking at the sample photos from different sites it really wasn't hard to tell D7000 and D300s are not in the same level as far as the picture quality goes. Even with heavy photoshop tweaks I still think those photos from D300s still do look like "photos".:Of course, the quality of lens has A LOT to do with it too. I just wish there's more acutal photo comparsion done with same lens with different bodies, or vise vesa and let the viewers come to better understanding with image quality generated by each camera/lens. Some people like vivid colors, some don't--It's very subjective matter. Just comparing the spec between cameras don't really mean much to me, as quality of photo is more important than anything else. For others, other functions like capability of full HD, High ISO, and etc are just as important as image quality. I know some guys in Youtube said image quality of D7000, when comapred to that of D300, looked "at least" the same or in some cases, better. In my honest opnion, that is not true. D300s is better when it comes to image quality. When I look at the details from D7000 and D300s, it's sharpness is kind of like comparing it to "Pencil vs. 0.3 mechanical pencil.Don't get me wrong, Nikon D7000 in my opinion, is a good camera. Many people also choose D7000 because of full HD capability. I was certainly one of them. But after all, I am buying a camera, not a camcorder. I mean, taking a great looking shots certainly weighs more than multi-function camera. Again, D7000 is a good camera. D90 is good too consider it's value. But I don't think it is equivalent with D300s as some claim. I came to a conclusion: You get what you paid for.

In this day and age, I'm the type that does countless hours of reading/research before I buy things especially online purchases. Getting into DSLR was a joint decision between my father and I. He wanted a NIKON body so I chose the D7000, and boy am I glad I did. After reading many critical reviews I knew exactly why I wanted D7000. For those that are having a hard time deciding, (my other choices were the Canon 60d and Nikon D5100), here's JUST A FEW points as to why I made the decision to get the D7000.First, let's start off with why you might choose a lower model Nikon, or a comparable other brand like the Canon 60D, T3i, etc:- A cheaper model can save you a lot of $$$, leaving you more room to spend on glass and other accessories.- The Canon's I mentioned and the D5100 from Nikon have the tilt/swivel LCD displays.- Canon is better for video production, as it is more adjustable overall.- Arguably, Nikkor lenses and accessories cost more. Like I said, arguably, as any quality piece of glass is $$$.Now, why I decided to get the D7000:- The feature set and AF system make the extra money worthwhile.- I don't foresee myself actually needing the tilt screen to often. My buddies who shoot with tilt screens almost always have them in the regular position. Would I welcome it? Yes. Do I need it? No.- Dual SD SLOTS! I thought I wouldn't care for this. It wasn't a part of my decision initially but when I got the camera I found that I love this feature. Two cards, with flexibility on how the camera uses them.- U1, U2 custom user settings. Another thing I didn't particularly choose the camera for but once I used them they are golden.- Nikon High ISO performance (including the D5100) is top notch. Enough said.- The only video I will shoot is for cinematics. For this, the 24p 1080p is perfect, as real movies are shot in this format.- Best of all, is the BUILD!!!!! By build I mean everything about the build. Quality, materials, and LAYOUT of buttons and functions. I wasn't used to the layout intially as I "practiced" withCanon's a bunch before, but it is so easy and FLUID to use it really is awesome. Also, I absolutely love the DUAL DIALS (front and back) for adjustments. The clicky dials and singledial layouts leave something to be desired especially on the lower end models. (This of course is personal preference) The ALLOY body feels so planted and durable. It's also more weatherproof than the other camera's I mentioned.Basically, this is priced on the higher end of the Entry-Intermediate cameras, but for good reason. This is a "PROSUMER" product, and is for the serious enthusiast to semi-pro/pro.As a side note, for me it was gonna be the T3i over the D5100 (no full manual exposure on D5100 video) and the D7000 over 60D. After going to a store first to feel the D7000 and 60D it was over.The ONLY thing I was worried about was the back focusing issues people had. I worried for nothing, the focus on my kit lens and 50 1.8G are spot on. I shot a focus chart and the results were as expected. Maybe the firmware has something to do with it? (Mine shipped with 1.02)

I love this camera - that's the bottom line for me. I'm taking a big step up from my first digital camera, the Nikon D40 which my husband wanted so he could start digital photography, and I could not be happier with my choice.However, I think it would be a waste of money for any one not familiar with the adjustments we used to routinely make with 35mm SLR film cameras. The D7000 can certainly function as a fine point and shoot. But why spend almost twice as much on this over the lighter D3100 if you just want to point and shoot, and maybe edit with PhotoShop or some such?For me, it's worth the difference because I want the freedom to quickly and easily make adjustments such as setting aperature or shutter speed to freeze or blur action; adjust the white balance on the fly for what I want the image to be; adjust the autofocus field and metering to suit the particular situation; switch from single shot to continuous, etc. The D7000 puts all that in menus and sub-menus like the inexpensive Nikons, but it also puts it out right on the camera body, available through just one button and the turn of a wheel.Also, this ended up being just about as inexpensive for me as the D3100 because I would not have been satisfied with the kit lens on the D3100 - and replacing it would have been more expensive than using all the wonderful Nikon lenses I have left from the film days - WHICH NOW ALL WORK BEAUTIFULLY ON THE D7000. (Of course, I did get my D7000 for $1,199, not the current prices.) The inexpensive Nikons keep down weight and cost by not including a focusing motor in the camera - you have to rely on one in the lens. The D7000, like other top of the line Nikons, includes its own focus motor. Nice little bonus with the D7000 is its treatment of my old A1 lenses. I have some optically very good, and very fast, A1s. With the D7000, I can program it to recognize them - with just the push of a button and turn of the wheel again. All I had to do was assign a lens number to each of the lenses and provide the focal length and maximum aperture. Now I can use them with no trouble, I just have to focus them as always. And the switch to go from autofocus to manual focus on the old lenses, or an autofocus lens that can't effectively autofocus in the particular situation (like my autofocus trying to pick up a tiny hummingbird in the middle of a rose bush this morning) is conveniently located by the side of the lens where my left hand would be going any way to grab the focus ring for manual focus.This is one really sweet camera. It will do whatever you want. The controls are easy and simple to understand if you have the background in photography - or want to learn.As I said, I think people are wasting their money if they buy this just because it is the new, hot camera when it is really more than they need. But, if you want to be able to control the camera settings, and do it quickly without having to mess around with the camera, this is great.NOTE, after reading other reviews. Nikon DSLRs have never had great video, and this doesn't seem to be an exception - if you want a video camera, get something else. As for complaint about the manual, I think it goes back to my comments about needing to have some SLR experience or being willing to learn. I found the manual completely understandable - it generally even explained each function a couple of times if you read all the way through the several hundred pages of manual. Best way I've ever found to deal with this is sit down with the manual and the camera and really work my way through every setting, button, and dial so I know what I have.

I had the Nikon d40 for awhile and heard about the D7000 rumor early 2010. I knew my next dslr would be the D90 or better. What I wanted was the dual scroll wheels and 1980x1080p video recording features and this totally delivered. Also a bump in megapixal and the new cmos sensor with better iso for low lighting would sweeten the deal. I carried over the Nikon 18-200vr, 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.8 from my old D40.Photos:I been shooting this camera since the first week of November 2010 and have taken about 4000 shots/some movie clips. At first I thought the image was a little soft. The poster on this d7000 forum told me how to fixed it in the menu and all is fine now. I am finally getting night shots, when I did night photo stroll with my friends the D40 was too slow and my iso skill back then wasn't great. Since I gotten this I played with almost every buttons and setting and actually shot aperture priority now, I been using the Nikon present for the D40.Movies mode:I am still learning this, getting things to focus on the fly. It does continuous autofocusing, but not as zippy as the Sony A33 I played with. Overall the movies I made are fun, but in no way anything you see on blu-ray 1980x1080p. I find that I do a better job of manual focus and it is much quieter. I plug an external microphone to this and it really is a benefit to filming with audio for less background noise.Positives:+Great photos, Sony newest CMOS is good for low lighting.+Camera Body motor, I have a 50mm 1.8 that I can finally use.+ISO looks very good, once I leave 1600, I can notice some different+more external buttons, entry level camera like the D40 uses the submenu too much.+Bigger body and sturdier magnesium alloy material, I like that in my hands with the rubber insert.+LCD screen is much improved, now I do know if a shot is good or bad.+Live view photography, I don't use it much but I like the option too.+Nikon Service, I called about the stuck pixel in Movie mode, they said wait for the firmware, and it got fixed.+Nikon ViexNX is good for quick adjustment.+1080p 24fps Movie mode with continuous auto-focus(like I said not as zippy as Sony, but much quieter) I made a few youtube videos now.Neutral:Battery is bigger and more expensive then before. I Since I record clip more it is hard to compare to the D40 which just took pictures. I get 350-400 shots before I recharge. Some people claim 1000 shots per charge, but that is not me. My 4000shot hashas 5-6 charges already.Negative:-GPS, if the Sony A55 with the same cmos as this can have one for cheaper, why not the D7000.-I was hoping it be around $1000. The Sony A33 and A55 are much cheaper, with the same cmos.Overall I like the pictures that I got from the D7000, and all the external layout. I can bracket shots with ease, for HDR editing photoshop of course. I don't have to go into the submenu to turn on the remote. I even used the continuous burst for once. The Nikon ViexNX is a good software for quick fix like for contrast and sharpening. It is no way a Lightroom or Photoshop replacement, nope. It can edit video too, but I just use the Window Media player on Win7. I have/carried this camera around me like a cellphone. I added the Nikon SB-700 to this camera and the two work well together, ie the wireless flash. Is the 18-105 lens worth 300, if you don't have any lens(es) yes. It is an acceptable walk-around lens with a decent zoom an ok 3.5 at 10 and 5.6 when you zoom to the 105. Later on maybe get some faster lenses (bigger glass and aperture) like a zoom f2.8 or either a 35 or 50mm prime f1.8 or for more bokeh.

There are a lot of detailed reviews of this camera on amazon and the rest of the internet written by professionals, so I will keep this short.This is my first DSLR and I love it. Of course there are some things that could be better, but for that you might have to shell out a bit more and get a better model.I read that it's a good camera for beginners and advanced photographers and so far I can totally agree. I sure have not mastered all the functions yet.

I got my camera last night and played with it for a few hours. It was 5 days from order to receipt even though I ordered on a Saturday and chose Super Saver Shipping. I am seriously in love with the camera. It looks spectacular at higher ISO's and is very fast. I videoed my son eating cereal for the second time and when i replayed the video my wife was amazed how good the sound and clarity of the video was. I had to get used to the new button layout since I have the D5000. I was a little nervous that I got one of those rumored cameras that wouldn't focus properly but it turned out the lens was not quite locked in all the way. Once I fixed that the pictures came out great. I've used my sister's D90 and trust me this is an upgrade. If you can afford this camera you will not be disappointed. I will say that unless you are pretty serious about photography and like playing with your settings this camera may be frustrating because it isn't designed for point and shoot and designed around the idea that the user will be changing settings.

- As a still camera, this is a wonderful piece of equipment, and I have no complaints.- As a video camera, the D7000 is a continuing source of frustration to me. Key issues are the following:(1) The 20-minute recording limit is a major limitation. This should be increased to the capacity of the card, or at least to 60 minutes.(2) The camera has several microphone sensitivity modes. One of these sets the level automatically, which would be very convenient if it worked. The problem with this mode is that the camera tends to set the sensitivity too high, producing saturation and distortion.(3) When one uses the internal microphone, there is a fairly high level of noise from the auto-focus.(4) When one uses a monaural external microphone, the camera should reproduce the input in both channels, but does not (one channel remains empty).(5) When using an external microphone and a mixing board to reproduce the signal in both channels, there is intermittent electrical noise. (The volume of the noise is high enough to impact the intelligibility of spoken audio, i.e., this is not just an issue for music recordings). I don't hear the noise if I plug headphones directly into the mixing board, and that same output is being fed to the camera, so it's fairly clear that the noise is being generated by the camera itself.To summarize, this is a great still camera, but not fully usable as a video camera.

I'm a previous user of Nikon D90 and it was just perfect ... NIkon D7000 is awesome and the senor especially at night and low light conditions is fantastic . But the picture ratio and quality is still equal to Nikon D90 or in some areas is below D90 or i guess it is just my eyes that got used to the D90 view !!!anyway , it is a good camera and worth of buying .

I've had a D40 and a D3100, and this is by far superior, and Im talking about everything, which immediately translates to Image quality. it really gets closer to what you are seeing through the viewfinder
