The D7000's Live View is certainly quite functional as a basic means of framing for stills and video shooting, as long as you understand its limitations"The D7000 is considered the Big Brother of the D90. This makes it an easy upgrade for D90 users that want a more 'serious' camera, but don't have the urge to unlearn and get to know a whole new ergonomics. I 've just upgraded from my D60, and I feel so complimented to have this!!!My(Yours too!) Reasons to buy the Nikon D7000. With the ratings I'd give for each of these reasons.Overall image quality 5/5 : Great image quality! ISO Performance is many steps ahead than the D90 and D80!The D7000's Live View is simply awesome !!!....with 100% view-ability!!Color depth 5/5 Great color depth. The make believe 23.5 bits of unbiased, unadulterated color.Dynamic range 5/5 Wide dynamic range 13.9 EVWeather sealed 5/5 Weather sealed Shoot in extreme weather - I've used it in extreme Cold, and extreme hot conditions, but this is a Military grade caliber to survive the hard side of a shooter(Rain, Water, muddy, snowy and even sweaty hot weather).Movie continuous focus Movie continuous focus Makes it easy to get in-focus movies - Amazing !!Those who complain about back-lags and focus fails please learn two things. 1) To make sure you set the movie continuous focus setting. 2) What more do you expect from a Camera this cheap? You need functionality of a 'RED' from this little achiever?Focus points 5/5 Many focus points 39 Too good for a camera of this class.Comparing with the closest Rival Camera, the D7000 is really worth for your money. Especially for Longer battery life, more storage slots(2), more lens options offered by Nikon and third parties(I use Nikon 18-105mm VR Kit Lens,50mm Prime from Nikon, 70-200mm VR I from Nikon, Rokinon 8mm Fish Eye(Manual) and the Sigma 70-300mm(non CPU).With the Nikon SB 800 and SB 700 Speedlites.

The Nikon D7000 is truly an amazing camera. I currently have the Nikon E8800 and the Nikon D80 and Nikon did a great job of improving an already great DSLR. The ISO range and shutter burst on the D7000 make for a great shot under almost any circumstance. I was also pleasantly surprised that Nikon eliminated the slight shutter lag the D80 had. The video abilities of this camera and being able to use all my VR lenses for both photos AND videos made this a dealing I couldn't pass up. A fantastic DSLR and a really reasonable price!Animal Portraits With The Digital Photography Of John CrippenScenic Photography Using Examples From The California Central CoastCameras for Kids: Fun and Inexpensive Projects for the Little Photographer

This is a specific review. I am using a 28-300mm Nikor lens with VRII stabilization. The lens is used in all modes, selected on the lens body. The camera is the D7000. The lens was paired with an expensive hoya ultra-violet filter. The camera was NOT upgraded to the latest firmware.Overall this is a remarkable camera. It is incredibly fast to select the focus and light balance - press the button and it takes the photograph almost instantly - a huge improvement over my D70 and D90 cameras.The negative criticism is as follows:First the camera over exposes photographs in high light level conditions. On the other hand, it is perfect for night-time or low light conditions. In high light, I switch to the 'P' mode and select two stops darker than recommended by the camera. This gives consistently good pictures in higher light levels (cloudless skies for instance). In night time conditions I select 'Auto' mode and get good results.In the 1080p movie modes I see red pixels in the right hand, upper quadrant back-panel. However in the actual content when transferred to computer these fixed red pixels are completely missing. I am told a firmware upgrade MIGHT fix this. The locked pixels are NOT visible in normal photograph modes.The camera records H264 in motion modes. This will need to be translated to 4:2:2 mpeg2 for most decent editors.The focus is hard to force to a specific depth. I want to eliminate foreground fencing and fix to the background focal length - it is a struggle to get the camera to do this - not impossible but you need to read the manual. By comparison the D70 selected the right focal length 80-90% of the time. I feel the camera could benefit from firmware refinement here.After setting up the U1 and U2 program settings I can get consistent results of the highest order (U1 is set for lo-lite, no-flash and U2 is set for hi-lite, panoramic conditions).Overall this is a fantastic camera BUT you should be aware of the following:1. The camera was released "early" and definitely needs some refinement - get the latest firmware updates2. The choice of filter is critical. Not all filters work for this camera and you may need some trial-and-error to find the best match. I had a range of twenty filters for the lens, but only four worked out as good choices. If you get bad results, remember the filter MIGHT be the problem.3. This camera is good, even great, but it is not perfect. Play around with the settings, the filters, the lenses. If you are patient you will get outstanding results in a wide range of light conditions. I am retiring my earlier Nikon cameras, several lenses and even more filters (at least until I figure out how to use them on this camera).4. Your older lenses will typically not make full use of this camera, but most of them will work - a sigma lens went through excessive 'hunting' until I removed the filter. I bought a new Nikor/Nikon VR lens with this camera and was impressed. I am retaining about three lenses from my extensive collection including a Macro, panoramic and linear zoom. But I was suitably impressed by the stabilization modes in the new lens. I believe other manufacturers have equivalent solutions. I was shocked by the effectiveness of the image stabilization at 300mm in low light conditions. So I recommend you try at least one VRII (or equivalent) lens with this camera. Focus lock times are similarly exemplary.Despite the above review I absolutely love this camera. I would like to slap Nikon management around the head for their premature release of this camera given the state of firmware development. The VRII lenses are literally amazing. I took night-time shots of fireworks and Christmas lights at the zoo in Las Vegas and the results were exceptional. I dealt with the 'daytime' issues and also got great results.This is NOT the ultimate camera. It needs around 40M Pixel resolution and a smarter computer or at least better firmware. It is also abundantly clear that Nikon underestimated demand and then, rather cynically, forced many buyers to cough up another $200-$400 for a mostly-useless pre-packaged lens. Rubbish management! The 28-300 or an 18-200+ are the minimum lens you should consider unless you have lenses for earlier Nikon cameras. Overall, however, we are rapidly approaching perfection. Now all I need is a mode that analyzes "great" photos from mere snapshots!

This was a replacement for our tried and true D70. Too many new features to mention, but an excellent choice for those wanting a high end amateur SLR without jumping to the professional models. Very pleased with our purchase.

I bought this camera because I read an excellent article on photographing your own art work, which I am wanting to do, after paying professionals too much money for badly done work, that recommended this camera. I was pleased to get it from KEH camera which my son recommended highly. So all around it was a real find. I am still exploring all it can do, and extremely pleased.

The price was great for the older model that has been out and the software that is now operating correctly . The D7100 may have 24 mega pixels but that is only about 22 per cent increase from the 16Mp of the D7000. It equates into about 8 per cent increase ,See ( Thom Hogan site by thom) . I bough it t as an upgrade from the D200 and have been very pleased with focusing and all over all performance . Want to save some money and get a great camera this is it .

If you are deciding on your first dslr camera, an ametuer photographer, or hobbyist, The Nikon d7000 should be the Perfect camera body for you. Yes, this is a very high-end consumer grade camera which has the same sensor as the Nikon d5100, but the layout of the settings, advanced capabilities, and user setting options will help you to understand how to effectively use a professional grade camera. As a professional photographer, I own several Nikon models such as the full frame Nikon d700 and often replicate the same image quality as my professional cameras. With that being said, its not always about the camera you use, the quality of the photographs you take depends on your knowledge of to properly use your instrument in different shooting situations.Aside from learning the camera, the Nikon d7000 Can Definitely take professional quality pictures if you equip it with the proper lenses. Please research and gain an understanding of the difference between (fx) and (dx) lenses. If you are unsure about your future in the photography field or planning to upgrade to a full frame camera at some point in time, BUY (FX) LENSES FOR THIS CAMERA BODY. Although they are a bit more expensive than (dx) lenses, it will be extremely beneficial invest in an(fx) lens to prevent wasting your money on the same range of view on a professional model camera later on down the road. An (fx) lens on your d7000 will magnify the zoom on your content and also give you more sharp images. Directly investing in a higher quality lens may not be better for everyone's use of this camera, but can almotst guarantee to save you hundreds of dollars if you plan on upgrading to a full frame camera body. If not, you will still enjoy your camera with the smaller (dx) lenses.SN# Some people mention a focus issue with this camera because they do not fully understand the camera. I have solved this problem with 75% of my assistant shooters by simply adjusting the viewfinder dial which is located directly on side of the eyepiece. If the viewfinder is not focused when you take the shot, it will not be focused when viewing it elsewhere.Point blank, this is the best camera body availible from nikon around the $1000 price range and serves as a great back up camera to any professional model. If you must save up to buy this camera as your first DSLR, You Will Not Regret it!

Reviews on non-working d7000's from retail stores, not Amazon.First d7000 WOULD NOT FOCUS at all. No doubt a product of the infamous ongoing focus problem they refuse to rectify. Returned it because after reading the horror stories other victims had with the infamous Nikon Rocket Scientists, I didn't want to go through that mess. Got another d7000. Took it home, charged the battery and guess what... DOA. NOTHING! The thing wouldn't even light up. Nikon QA at its best. Took it back because..... After reading the horror stories other victims had with the infamous Nikon Rocket Scientists, I didn't want to go through that mess. Okay, they say the definition of insanity is doing the same idiotic thing over and over hoping for a different result.... I did the same thing a third time hoping for a better result, I bought another stupid d7000. It WILL NOT FOCUS! Makes you wonder if they are using Chinese Slave Labor for QA doesn't it? Took the third piece of trash back and got my money back because.... . After reading the horror stories other victims had with the infamous Nikon Rocket Scientists, I didn't want to go through that mess. But you know what I'm going to do... keep buying them and keep taking them back for a refund until I get one that actually works and actually works properly. I don't give a rat's butt how many I go through because it isn't costing me a dime when returning under 14 days at the least at some places and up to 30 days at others. As long as Nikon chooses to put non-working d7000's out there I will be having as many of those non-working units going right back to them. Maybe at some time they will get a clue and decide it might be better to put working units out there instead of unchecked, nonworking junk.My suggestion, buy the thing but return it immediatly during the "money back period" if the least thing is wrong with it which according to Nikon's Track Record, it will probably have issues. Force Nikon (through mega returns) to start a QA policy with the stuff going out their doors. They can't run you through loops and try to make you pay for warranty repairs when you return the non-working junk under the "money back period". That cost them money and when they see their refusal to do QA on their products is going to start costing them, then they might get a clue and start a QA policy.

First I would like to say this is my first DSLR. I decided to go big so I'm not limited by options in the future. I know some people say not to because it's dumb to do, I beg to differ. I learn stuff really quick. In the few hours I played with it I was getting close to pro shots with it. I did however spend my days on YouTube watching tutorial videos until it came of course.This camera is great, heavy (A little over 3 pounds with lens on it), but great. The D7000 does everything I need to do, although I find myself needing a macro lens because the 18-200mm is not good enough for close up shots, I mainly do landscape anyway. Though I like to do a lot of close up photography was wishing I had a macro lens the whole time. So if that is what you like to do then look into the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SLD DG Macro Lens with built in motor for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras for a cheaper alliterative.This camera is also weather sealed. But NOT waterproof. So this means DO NOT GET IT WET!To keep this review short: I really love this camera, but you will find yourself wanting to spend more on lenses. If you can afford this camera than get it.I wouldn't bother with buying an ESC for your camera either. You can get your homeowner's insurance to cover it and you're protected against more than you would be with an ESC.As for how many photos you can take:I always take my images on the highest setting.With 32GB of memory you can get 1,000 photos.With JPEG+RAW you can get about 400.Maybe get two 128GB SD cards and put them into the camera. That should have you set for a long time.You should have maybe 2-3 extra batteries also if you're taking this places also where you're unable to charge.You should be able to get around 800 shots per battery.

I have truly come to love this camera and have been using it since Dec 2010. If you're a beginner, as in, you have no idea about photography and are not willing to learn technical concepts, then skip this camera and just get something you can set on auto and fire away.The D7000 is a very sophisticated tool and it can be very frustrating if you don't know what you're doing. I upgraded from D50 which was excellent but I wanted better low light performance(high ISO) capabilities. On my D50 I had no problems getting images just as I wanted(technically) without much effort. With the D7000 I struggled at first and it took several months of reading and testing out the settings to finally understanding it. Just the focus system alone takes some knowledge to get it working the way you want to when you want to. The high ISO is amazing and there are even better bodies out now, but I can still use ISO 6400 images for web(if I must). The focusing is fast and the body handles really well. Most controls are accessible without having to dig into the menus.If you're a complete newbie, I would skip this and get a D3200, D5200 or a D3100/D5100, all great cameras with great sensors and very user friendly. Keep in mind that the bodies mentioned above don't have motors on the body so it limits you a bit in lens selection. As far as I know, all the lenses Nikon currently makes have built in motors so it shouldn't be an issue.Another thing to remember, cameras don't make great pictures. The person operating the camera makes great pictures. Getting a nice DSLR doesn't guarantee you'll be creating some great images. Practice makes perfect.

It's an older model these days, the D7100 ha come out to take it's spot, but the price of the D7100 is a lot more.If you are new to photography, and want something to grow into which is a bit more beyond the current entry level cameras, then you'll do well to get hold of a D7000 while saving money from features on the D7100 that you won't yet understand or appreciate.They money saved could go a long way towards buying better lenses which is where quality will really shine through for you.

I write so many negative reviews it is a plaesure to writ a 5 star review. All reviews are subjective by the nature of the beast. You may find problems in my appraisal of this camera, so take it with a grain of salt.Cons:Unless you are a professional photographer you will find the Nikopn supplied User's Manual (as usual) useless. There are many excellent manuals/dvds on this camera, so don't worry about it. My package arrived on time with the camera body. Whether it is the fault of Nikon or the supplier, the warranty on the camera was missing. If you have excessive patience and a high frustration capability you can try Nikon Customer Service. Not me--I have tried. At my age there is not so much time to waste so I will cross my fingers. If, like me, you need instructions I will be reviewing the aids later.Pros:This camera is terrific. I began using a point and shoot digital about 7 years ago, switched to a wonderful Sony, and was so impressed by that I went on to a digital SLR Nikon D5100. Great camera, but I wanted more control so the D7000 was chosen.to say I am pleased is an understatement. Once you learn the basics this camera will do anything you want and things you never dreamed of doing. I would like it if the LCD viewer moved like the D5100 but that ius something I am willing to overlook. The durability of this camera is profound; take it from a clumbsy photographer. The camera allows you control over everything from disabling the in-camera flash to ISO to shutter speed to white-balance to focus point and much more. You can take beautiful pictures of any and everything. I do a lot of macro and this is great! Replace the Nikon neck strap and you are safe and secure.I have read of people using the D90 (this camera's predecessor) for twenty years and I believe my heirs will ahve this for at least that long.If you buy this wonderful camera and a decent manual for its functions, you can be a great photographer with a little practice. I have had mine for only two months and am thrilled. Good shooting.

Upgraded from a D5000, which is a super camera for learning. The menu and buttons/dials is still something to get used to and the lens is okay, I'm a prime lens fan but my wife needs a basic zoom. Wish I would have upgraded sooner, but glad I didn't wait longer. Decided that I wanted a D7000 vs the D7100 as I shoot swimming and sports and didn't want to have issues others have reported with the newer model. So far I'm 100% happy, had fulfilled by Adorama always a great experience with those folks.

I am a prior Nikon n8008s and D300 user and love this camera! I researched the crap out of many cameras in this category to include the Canon 7D, the new 60D, T3i and Nikon D700 and D90. My budget was around $1500 and I wanted the most bang for the buck.Weight:The D7000 is hefty with lense attached and this may be a turnoff for some. For me, the first time that i picked it up, I knew that I was holding on to something. The weight and construction feels like it could take quite a bit of abuse as compared to many of the Canon models which feel too light and less durable. For long excursions, the additional weight may become uncomfortable without a proper sling or pack - I can live with that. The magnesium body construction looks like it could take a bullet and still take great pictures.Construction:As stated above, this body is tough. Weather sealed for moisture and built to take some abuse.Ergonomics:For past/current Nikon users, the D7000 feels very familiar in your hands. Even though there are many new dials and buttons as compared to earlier models, with a little practice quick changes/adjustments will become second nature.Ease of Use:As stated in my title, all of the extra buttons, wheels and displays may be a little intimidating for entry-level/novice buyers. Especially one with moderate experience with point-and-shoots. But, even though this camera is loaded with features, many of the factory setting included by Nikon can take a lot of the guesswork out of initial picture taking. My 9 year-old daughter takes excellent pictures on "Auto". My wife even takes great pictures and she takes horrible pictures with everything else!Accessories/PortsThe twin memory card slots were a big selling feature with me. You can program the camera to utilize the slots individually. I have one card slot set up for only taking pictures and the other card for taking video. The camera does not come with a USB connector (mini-USB), mini-HMDI, or an external power cord/charger. The only way to charge the battery is to remove from camera and plug into supplied battery charging adapter (all setting are saved upon removal) - I used my battery for an entire 7-day cruise without recharging. For any of you with older Nikon SB-XX flashes, it will take a little fine tuning to get them to work with the camera - but they will work. I would recommend purchasing a Class 10 SD card if you plan on shooting any video.Pictures/video:This thing takes great pictures! Even though the megapixels (16.2 versus 18 for Canon 60D) may be a little lower than some of the other newer models, not a big deal. The viewfinder has 100% coverage of the subject area as compared to the Canon models which only offer 96% coverage. Even though this may seem like a miniscule amount, it could mean the difference between a poorly cropped photo or one suitable for framing. Video shooting is easier with this camera versus the Canon 60D because of control placement. Although the D7000 isn't the same as the D3x when it comes to low light shooting, it performs exceptional. Low light video shots suffer from slight pixelation though. The LCD screen is large and bright, but the addition of a fold out/swivel screen would have been nice.Included Lens:The included lense (when the package is bought - you can buy body only) compliments the body well. Color accuracy and exposure are pretty spot on with a decent amount of dynamic range. If you have the extra money, better glass is always worth the investment.FINAL VERDICT:The D7000 offers a lot of features, speed and technology for the price. If you have other Nikon D-SLRs, the lenses are interchangeable. Even my lenses from a much older n8008s work excellent with the new body. I would buy this camera again and definitely recommend to others looking for a high quality, durable camera that takes outstanding pictures.

There are lots of excellent cameras to choose from and simply throwing a dart at a board with Canon and Nikon DSLR's will get you a great camera. But for the "crop sensor" shooter looking for great performance this is arguably the best option.Technically its sensor is the highest rated (DxO Labs) but in practice I don't see dramatic or even noticeable differences in image quality between this or any other current DSLR camera. They all capture great images. What the D7000 does that sets it apart from lower end models is: 1). Meters & Focuses accurately and instantaneously and 2). Offers every conceivable adjustment at your fingertips. There is no waiting around for 1/8 second for a focusing light to "beep" because depressing the shutter release handles that instantaneously. And the ergonomics keeps digging into menus to a minimum.IMAGE QUALITY vs. D5100 or D3100: No difference. At most its sensor gives you about 1/3 f/stop compared to the D3100 that I don't consider significant.LENSES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE: A good "walk-around" lens would be Nikon's 18-105vr that gives good zoom range for most shots and delivers very good IQ with adequate light. The best images can be captured with Nikon's 35mm 1.8G or their 50mm 1.8G.CONS: Size- It is bigger and heavier than a D5100 or Canon T3i. For some the smaller size/weight could be an advantage. Personally I miss the smaller size of the D3100 that I consider the best value in high quality DSLR cameras based on image quality, ergonomics and its Guide Mode for beginners. Cost- The D7000 is an excellent value at its current price but the value shopper wanting to spend less might look at the outstanding D5100 body only (same sensor as D7000) or the D3100 with 18-55vr for just under five hundred dollars. I have not used the new D3200 but the higher cost and pixel count (vs. D3100 or D5100)does not make it a better buy. The D5100 is a better camera than the D3200 and the D3100 is the best bang for you buck.The real advantage of going with Nikon or Canon is the availability of a wide selection of great lenses.

I bought my Nikon D7000 about a year ago after having owned a Nikon D90. The D7000 is an excellent camera and, as far as I can tell, it could only benefit of a slightly larger MP count and better high ISO performance, hence the 4 stars only. But for its price tag, it is fantastic. I have some examples of my photos in my blog ([...] and some more in 500px ([...] If I could switch for a different camera it would only be for a full frame D800.

A significant step up from my old Nikon D80 which I basically used a point and shoot camera. I plan to go a bit deeper into digital photography with the D7000. So far I am very impressed with the photographic magic that comes built into this amazing camera.
