I have a variety of pro photography gear, which I use for my real estate work and for non-profit volunteer photography work. I have been using a D2Xs--Nikon's last generation flagship body, which I paid more than $4,000 for a few years ago--as my primary body and a D70 as a backup/2nd body. I purchased the D7000 figuring I would replace the D70 and continue shooting with the D2Xs as my primary body. I was surprised to discover that the D7000 outperforms and outhandles the D2Xs in almost every way.The focusing system is extremely fast and a marked improvement over the anything else I have used. It is still not psychic, of course, but it does a good job in full auto, and with 38 focus points from which to choose, it offers good flexibility for pinpointing a specific focus point almost anywhere in your image.Battery life is excellent for a non-professional body. I shot 1,300 images with it one day last week. I changed batteries preemptively. The one with 1,300 images on it was still showing multiple bars remaining.Low light performance just blows me away. I try to avoid going higher than ISO800 on the D2Xs due to inescapable noise. I had assumed that the only way to get a meaningful improvement in low light performance would be to get a full-frame body, such as the D700 or D3, but this body represents a major improvement. I can shoot at ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 with very pleasing results. Yes, ISO 3200 or 6400 will display noticeable loss of detail and smearing if you are looking at an images pixel for pixel. But the overall usability of those images is still very good. This is the first body that I have used at automatic ISO, since I can then set shutter and aperture as my application demands, and I can know that the camera can then pick the ISO and still produce spectacular images.The only meaningful drawbacks compared to a true professional body are 1) limited buffer for continuous shooting (but it still fires off several images in rapid-fire sequence), and 2) no built-in second shutter release for shooting vertically. Yes, there are other differences, but most are not important for most folks. For example, being able to get 1,500 images out of the D7000 battery versus maybe 2,500 out of the larger professional body batteries. For the price point, this is quite remarkable.I have not used this for video work yet, but it has excellent capabilities and an external microphone jack. I have seen plenty of samples online of beautiful video work done with this body. If you plan to use it for video, plan to use a tripod and/or to spend some serious money on accessories to help handle this body smoothly. DSLRs are virtually impossible to hold out from your body (far enough to watch the LCD live view display) steady for any length of time.Overall I am extremely pleased and amazed at the high end features for the price point. I give it four stars and not five only because it is not literally perfect, but quite close!

My dad did lots of reseach on good cameras before he got his a couple of years ago. I was in the market for a camera and I looked around briefly, but quickly came to the conclusion that this is an excellent camera for the price you pay. I do recommend only getting the body and lens separately. Research different lens sizes and decide what you really need.

There are several well done and detailed reviews here (B. Fuller +). Please just allow me to add a few considerations.I now have my second D7000. The first one was from the very first batch shipped and several in this batch had focusing problems (many comments on DPReview). With all lenses, and most noticeably at their maximum zoom setting, the focus was terrible. This second camera is perfect. I would guess Nikon fixed a bug in their setup routine (think Hubble :-)A second problem receiving numerous comments concerns "hot pixels" in live view / video mode at high ISO settings and dark surroundings. All sensors have a few pixels that are defective, are mapped, and are "fixed" to look like their neighboring pixels. This makes it a near zero problem. Unfortunately in live view / video mode the D7000 does not "hide" these pixels. My current D7000 has one annoying red pixel that is easily visible about 1/3 of the time on an HDTV monitor when shooting indoors. According to DPReview, Nikon has announced a new firmware release to solve this problem. It is no longer a concern of mine.I have also spent a fair bit of time comparing lenses (Koren 203 lens test chart - plus printed text and fabrics). The unexpected result is that the 18 to 105mm kit lens is nearly equal to my 60mm micro Nikkor D lens in the 18 to 35mm range (f-8). My 70 - 300mm lens (F/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED) was better than the 28 - 300mm (f 3.5 -5.6 G ED VR) in the 70 to 200 range but not quite as good at 300. The 70 - 300 produces equal centers and slightly sharper edges than the kit lens at 70mm and up. All my tests were done using jpg files with the camera setting bumped one notch for both sharpness and contrast. The differences are much less obvious and far less important in real world use. Photos of a large blooming orchid plant look almost equal on 13" x 19" prints when I was careful with the f-stop (if in doubt use f-8).Update: I have tested this camera in various light situations. The dynamic range system works quite well but there are occasions where you can not trust the camera's auto metering. DPReview noted: "Tendency to overexpose in bright sunshine/high contrast situations". A few of my daylight photos confirm that you need to be watchful in bright sun. I would suggest routinely setting the exposure compensation -2/3 rds stop (down) outdoors on a sunny day. There are other suggestions on the internet but this is by far the easiest to remember and undo for me. Nikon did not confirm or deny if they will include an adjustment for this in their firmware release.A video note:The focusing during video shooting tends to hunt and be noisy. The noise is more noticeable when reviewing in camera than on an HDTV system. One solution is to think "producer" and edit together a series of shots instead of continuous shooting.Update: The Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone was a nice addition for video. The focus noise becomes less noticeable and the quality is very good. The mic is quite compact and does not make the set up look too over the top. It seemed better to use a medium mic sensitivity (2) than AGC when shooting.Within the camera setup there are a number of focus options including changing the delay time before the camera tries to refocus (0 delay and 5 other options). There are many other options including subject tracking and facial recognition. The method I am currently using is to set it to center refocus when I half press the shutter release. I have made the mistake of fully depressing it though, and that terminates recording. If you are primarily interested in video the Panasonic GH1 / 2 is more designed for that. The D7000 is spectacular still camera first, and capable of beautiful video when carefully used second.A personal bias:I believe the D7000 is capable of more than many of the Nikon DX lenses are delivering. Great lenses are a strength of Nikon, let's keep the heat on them to design lenses that maximize the images from their DX cameras too.

Although the camera is ok, it was a long time later when the battery was dead that I realized they had sent me the wrong charger and now I have a $1200 camera that won't charge. I tried to buy a travel charger and it isn't working on the camera either. Extremely disappointing. The time passed too quickly to return it or ask for a replacement and now I am stuck!

Pros:Performance in low light is superb.Build quality is as good as professional level DSLRs.Custom mode dial is very useful.Small changes in layout from D90 are great.Infrared thingy on the back makes using the remote easier.Cons:Video auto-focusing is a marketing gimmick and just does not work in real world situations. In addition, the mic picks up the AF sounds and it is very loud. You would have to use a mic off-camera. I even bought an on-camera directional mic, but it still picks up the sounds to the point of being useless. But the audio issue is a moot point really, as the video AF is of little use. Nikon should focus on competing with Canon for video market share by matching Canon's bitrate and framerate levels rather than by touting video AF. Pros don't use video AF anyway.!!! The lack of a recording indicator light on the front and little indication on the back means you will have no idea when the 20 minute recording limit is reached when using it on a tripod without someone behind the camera. If you are planning to use the D7000 to record family gatherings, you are going to be frustrated and disappointed. I actually missed the first laugh of my infant son because I thought it was recording, but it wasn't! A simple light and a beep when it is done seems like a complete no-brainer and I can't imagine why Nikon did not include this feature on this or the D7000.Included software is not very good. Okay, Nikon's software sucks. It is a complete mystery how they rationalize charging $200 for a half-baked remote capture application (Camera Control Pro), when Canon includes something better for free! I scratch my head a lot when thinking about Nikon's strategies.Check your camera for backfocusing before the return period ends! This is widely reported, but Nikon has not owned up to it. I had to send mine in for service for a severe backfocusing problem. The entire service experience ranks up there with my Worst Nightmare Experiences Ever. Nikon's Customer Service is bad, bad, bad- infamously so. I won't go into the details here, but let's just say I came very close to selling my Nikon gear at a loss to switch to Canon. But they just make such darn great cameras!Final Analysis:The best prosumer DSLR Nikon has ever made. It's class performance is second to none. Video looks great but is frustrating to use without an indicator light. Backfocusing problems should be checked for right away. If this is your first camera and you are considering the Nikon/Canon question, ask yourself how important customer service is to you. Canon=good, Nikon=bad.

Battery lasts incredibly long. Images are sharp, even in low light using a high ISO. The HD video feature is really nice to have too. Being able to take videos using all of the compatible lenses is a huge benefit. I upgraded from a Nikon d40x, and this was a big step forward without adding much weight or bulk to my camera bag. The live view feature is really helpful. Many of the settings can be adjusted with dials or buttons, so you don't really have to spend much time in the menus.

I have now sent my camera in to Nikon USA's repair department in El Segundo twice. It may go back a third time if the power fails again like it did this weekend.On paper, this is one killer camera. The frame rate is good enough for action/performancesThe focus (if you get a good one or manage to get yours fixed properly) is pretty darned good, and compares quite well to other brands. It's not quite up to D300/D700 performance, but in all but the dimmest light, it tracks quite well. The color tracking, which incorporates info from the 2000 pixel meter, works a charm as long as you're not into the extremes of the color temp scale.The buffer is a bit small, but the speed at which is writes to the memory card actually compensates quite a bit. I'd say it writes to the card 50% faster than my D700, with the fastest cards I have around (45mb/s UHS-I SD and 90mb/s CF).The shutter is incredibly quiet and there are things I can shoot with this that I wouldn't dare with the D700, because the mirror in the D700 is so bleedin loud.This may have the best APS-C sensor I've used.But at the end of the day, I'd really have trouble recommending this camera, simply because it took two repairs and months of testing/arguing with Nikon to get an appropriate fix.If it came to me the way it is today, without the hassle I've been through, I might give it a full five stars. But if you take into consideration the entire package including Nikon's customer service, and the time I've spend fussing with missed/OOF shots and sending the thing off, I have to deduct at least two stars.I know enough to be able to diagnose the defects and was able to make images which demonstrated the issue for the repair department. For the average customer who's not technically inclined or willing to deal with such a finicky piece of gear with manufacturing defects, it just isn't worth it.If your time is money, don't bother with this camera.

With the newer modelD70?? just released, this camera becomes even more attractive. 16Megapixels is *more* than adequate for 99% of needs. 22is truly overkill unless you print 48" posters. This is a "pro camera" hiding in a mid-range price field. I read one review that compared Canon to Nikon, saying that Nikon (D7000) is like a "PC," whereas Canon's "comparable" is more like a "MAC." There's a certain amount of truth to that (having experience in both environments - computer and camera-wise). The Nikon is very user-friendly after one takes the time to read Owner's Manual thoroughly. This camera will not displease you. It has capabilities you will never need. Those you do need are excellent and workable.

// I'm an amateur photographer who's been using film cameras, digital point&shoot, entry level DSLR (D70) and I'm generally just learning about how to make interesting pictures, but shooting mostly in semi-automated modes.I've upgraded from a D60+Nikkor 18-200. Changed just the body and the lens is the same. I see a considerable difference in picture quality - especially in low light conditions. Looks like D7000 has so much better sensor. The body is bigger and easier to hold (than D60) in my big hands. And one of the main reasons I bought this camera (other than low light performance) is that it has full support for a grip (which makes it perfect for my hands + adds the vertical release button convenience).Other things I like about this camera are more focus points (that made my pictures come out in-focus more often), the dials are great, and the addition (again compared to my previous experience w/ D60) of the control LCD panel on top w/ the current settings is great. I think the U1 & U2 user settings will come in handy once I learn how to use the camere better. Oh, and there are so many options to fine tune the behavior (in D70 many were not changable at all).I've used this camera at home for taking pictures of my family, at soccer fields, and taking pictures of the neighborhood scenery: very happy with all of these.

I've owned two previous DSLR cameras, a Canon 20D and a Canon 50D and both were far better than this Nikon d7000. This camera simply can't take consistently in-focus pictures. Other reviewers mentioned this as well, but after further research I found that each lens needs to be calibrated for "AF Fine Tuning." I never, ever had to do that for any of my Canon cameras. This camera just requires too much fine-tuning, I'm going to sell it on Ebay and get a Canon 70d instead.

I dislike this camera with a passion. I am only giving it 2 stars because my husband does enjoy using it because it takes video and he does not have to change the lenses. What the consumer should know is that our Nikon D60 from 2008 takes awesome photos every time and requires little effort to get the photos right. The D7000 bites the dust in my opinion.

I bought this camera as a step up from the D70 I've owned for nearly nine years. That camera has been a real workhorse (and continues to be!), but this one adds the features I've missed with the D70. In addition to the video component on the camera, I love the faster processing speed and the enhanced focusing capabilities.

I gave this item a rating of one star based on the included kit lens only; in my opinion the D7000 camera body itself is great! Read the various web site reviews in order to make your decision on the camera itself. However, the included 18-105mm kit lens is pretty mediocre; plastic mount and the images are not sharp (read the reviews.) It's like putting re-tread tires on a Ferrari. I sent this kit back and got the D7000 kit that included the 18-200mm lens. What a difference! Much better quality constructed lens (metal mount) and sharp images! Plus you get the extra zoom. Again, don't just listen to me, read the reviews on this lens on various web sites. You are already thinking about plunking down some serious bucks, so please, please, please spend the extra $300 bucks for the kit with the 18-200mm lens (you will also get a 16GB card and carrying bag.) This is a lens that sells separately for $800 bucks plus! Honestly, you will not be sorry. Get the kit with the 18-200mm lens and you may not ever need another lens! You've been warned! (didn't the Lorax say that?)

Very fast focus, better than my older D100. Quality of display image on the computer is a lot better than my Sony little digital camera even at the same resolution.One thing I really surprised and like, it has perspective control in the program. This is mighty important for architecture photography. You no longer need to buy a more expensive shift lens anymore for taking picture of buildings etc.Only slight complain. Camera of this quality should have a PC sync for studio and product photography use. I was a pro photographer before, this camera is perfect for pro use, I don't want to carry double the weigh, pay double the price for a real pro camera just hoping it will hold up when you drop them. Weight is the most important when you climb up and down. Also, camera out dated as fast as PC computers, why pay thousands for something that if only worth a few hundred three years later?

Let me start by saying I upgraded to this DSLR from a Nikon D3100, so this is definitely a big upgrade for me. I mainly wanted to upgrade so I could access the manual controls, as I was tired with just turning a dial and using preset modes that tended to over or under expose.-This camera's 6fps shooting is amazing, and never ceases to amaze me! I'll just push the shutter down for a few seconds just to hear the fun shutter sound(;-The video is great, but I don't really use video very much. I find the autofocus noisy with my 50mm f/1.8, so I tend to use manual focus when on video.-Even though it may not mean a lot coming from a 15 year old, this DSLR would be great for any skill level. The reaction time when changing any mode or setting is split second, and it never fails. I've never once had the whole camera just freeze up, resulting in me having to reset it by removing the battery, like my D3100. This really is a quality machine. It has a great design and fits great in your hands just like it should. Unless you're a 5 year old, the D3100 isn't exactly the greatest size for hands. (Though I'm still a fan of the D3100 of course)I recently dropped my D7000, about 2 weeks ago resulting in my kit lens being ruined and the camera body being cracked on the top left corner. This is when this camera showed me it was of real quality.The lens broke completely off of the mount,completely cracking the lens, and the camera body mount itself is still perfectly intact and nothing looks out of place. The little crack on the magnesium alloy body is just cosmetic, and I'll probably go over it with a little tad bit of black paint one day, as it's very minute and isn't worth sending into Nikon to get the whole piece replaced.My final opinion: DEFINITELY worth the extra $500-$700 from the D3100, if you want a more professional camera. It's a great quality DSLR, and is a great representation of Nikon's products.By The Way: The lens I bought to replace my kit lens is the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. I HIGHLY recommend it and I'm still amazed by the low light quality. It's a great, capable lens.The focusing distance tends to annoy me. You can't get as close as you'd like, but for $120 bucks, you can't complain that much.My next lens will be the Nikkor 40mm f/2.8 Micro as it has macro capabilities, is a great middle focal length between the 35 and 50 f/1.8, and still has a low aperture!
