Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Nikon D7000

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.

Выбирал долго и мучительно, хотел фотоаппарат в районе 30 тыщь. После просмотра информации на сайтах, форумах и т. д..., влюбился в D7000. Пришлось еще немного добавить и купить его!!! Конечно же первые фотки выходили никакие, и я прекрасно понимал, что дело не в аппарате, а в том, что руки у меня растут из того...

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

На меня D7000 произвела впечатление безотказной рабочей лошадки. В итоге эксперимента по скрещиванию получилась скоростная репортажная камера для продвинутых любителей и студийной работы ... : )) В свое время D7000 была прорывом...

Немного приврали в видеоролике, по поводу звука в видео, там моно звук, а не стерео. Хорошее качество сборки. Самое низкое разрешение матрицы. Пикселей больше, чем у 70D, но меньше, чем у 6D. Самая низкая светочувствительность в группе (Возможно). Наиболее усовершенствованный датчик замера экспозиции. Наибольшее количество точек автофокусировки (39) и наилучшее обнаружение. Наименее впечатляющий дисплей в группе Двойной слот для карт памяти. Встроенная выдвижная вспышка. Скорость синхронизации вспышки 1/250 сек, наибольшая в группе (такая же скорость и у 70D). Второе место за скорость серийной съемки, но менее вместительный буфер. Моно звук для видео. Нет возможности выбора между режимами сжатия IPB или All-I (доступно в 70D и 6D). Отсутствие встроенного Wi-Fi (есть в 6D и 70D). Нет режима HDR 100% обзор видоискателя. Второе место за наибольший видоискатель. Самый миниатюрный фотоаппарат в группе. Большой срок службы аккумуляторной батареи. Наименьшая стоимость./p>

Аппарат отличный, но есть несколько НО. Первое - этот фотоаппарат может использоваться для профессиональной съемки, но он будет работать на пределе своих возможностей (не всегда он будет все делать так как Вам хочется). Второе - после покупки рекомендую отнести в сервис центр на юстировку. Чтобы Вам не говорили в сервисе сдавайте аппарат со всем объективами Nikonовскими (могут принять только объективы Nikon) на проверку АФ. Пусть приемщик укажет ошибку АФ в причине. У меня например приемщик не хотел принимать на юстировку аппарат. Сказал: у него отличный фокус без проверки видно. Я настоял на проверки, после юстировки оказался прав, юстировка камеры была нужна, а объективы юстировки не требовали. После юстировки аппарат работает как надо. В общем даже новый аппарат требует юстировки. Третье - от китовых объективов не ждите хорошего качества. На правах дополнения:  Хотите заниматься фото профессионально вам нужна 35мм матрица. Кроп Вам не подойдет, он как учебник. Учится на нем можно, зарабатывать им очень трудно. Иногда практически не возможно. После покупки аппарата ни минуты об этом не жалею. Рекомендую, с учетом выше сказанного

Приобрёл d7000 около 2-х месяцев назад. Хотя обратил на него своё внимание,с момента анонсирования, но тогда цена была заоблачная. Прекрасная замена старому, доброму d90! надёжный и очень удобный корпус (немного свисает мизинец, но при использовании ручки эта проблема исчезает), в руках держать приятно, 2 карты памяти-бесспорно удобно. Аккумулятора хватает примерно на 2000!!! кадров. Великолепная эргономика-палец сам тянется к нужной кнопке. шустрый!!! Отличная глубина цвета-фотки тянутся весьма достойно для кропа. 16 Мп-дают возможность кадрирования при постобработке. Как уже говорилось выше-неплохой скинтон. Затвор!!! с возможностью снимать с выдержкой 1:8000, как на проф моделях. 100% видоискатель!!! Порадовала возможность самостоятельно прописывать алгоритмы полуавтоматических режимов(правда не сравнивал с конкурентами). 18-105 стекло достаточно мрачное и не раскрывает потенциала камеры, но в комплекте идёт за весьма символическую цену и имеет неплохой диапазон ФР-удобно таскать с собой. Из минусов - напоминания о том, что камера всё-же любительская: медленные sd-флешки, маленький(всего 10 кадров)размер буфера, синхронизация со вспышкой всего до 1:250. И очень хотелось-бы iso 50!!! В целом-прекрасный выбор для фотоэнтузиастов. Если вы новичок-покупка d7000 может стать для вас напрасной тратой денег. За такие деньги я конкурентов этой камере не нашёл.

Покупал два года назад бу D7000, т.е аппарат не гарантийный, но в хорошем состоянии, пробег маленький, примерно 30 000. Стал замечать что фото "мылит", раньше такого не было. Сравнил тесты по мишеням с новым аппаратом у друга и точно. Мой аппарат очень мылит, даже со штатива. Очень расстроился. Думал уже продавать аппарат, но решил отнести в официальный сервис. И СЕРВИС МЕНЯ ПОРАДОВАЛ. С начало по телефону вежливо сказали, что возможна проблема с приводом диафрагмы и стоимость ремонта примерно 6 000р, но нужно точно проверить. Привез...

Надежная шустрая камера. Беру её на природу, в походы. В мороз работает без проблем. У кого мощные лапы, можно прикупить батарейный блок. Некоторые пишут, что новичкам сложна в освоении. Ничего подобного, сам во всем нормально разобрался...

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

Короче пользовался я Canon 600d 60d и 7D (разумеется в разное время). начитавшись отзывов про никон решил себе приобрести d7000 и пожалел. Снимки в каких то желтых тонах,цвет кожи не естественный,детализация плохая и ее внешний вид не радовал...

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.

Два года бредил фотографией, мечтал о зеркальном представители- это время снимал на какой-то Канон. К покупке подходил тоже основательно долго лапатил инет - читал все за и против, и в конце выбрал его.- О чём не пожалел ни разу. Камера сложна в освоении, я только одну инструкцию перечитал раз пять, я не хотел камеру которая снимает сама- я хотел тоже приложить руку. Многие говорят о не корректной передачи цвета скин тона- ну что же бывает, но я думаю у представителей канона тоже есть камни, но свои. Что хотелось бы сказать про данное устройство- камеру покупал для себя - не для жены , не для друзей т.е. я с удовольствием снимаю в мануале, а после чего с удовольствием проявляю RAW.

Just like Ken Rockwell I started my camera use with the same Minolta Srt 35mm camera. But that is where the similarities end... )However, I have been around 35mm slr and point and shoot cameras all of my teen and adult life and have owned quite a few. I also have someone in the family that is well known pro photographer, so I have had lots of opportunities to see and play some with the latest greatest full frame gear available.When I went fully digital around 2002 I sold off my Nikon 35mm gear and had various point and shoots. DSLR fever struck me again when I bought a Sony A330. I still like it, but I have totally outgrown the menu based controls, but I don't shoot enough to justify the latest greatest in gear.So when I recently found an exceptional price on a Nikon refurbished D7000, I took the plunge.It is an astounding camera, for anyone that wants to shoot M A or S modes.(If you mainly shoot auto mode, save some money and get a 31/200. The pictures will be the same and you can control most of the settings in the menus and it doesn't make you a lesser person. Just someone with more money to spend on something else.)However if you want manual control, D7000 lets you change your settings at a button, in many ways like some of the pro gear I had a chance to play with.The features leave very little to be desired. This is considered a semi pro camera and that is exactly what it is. Unless you are pro, you will not need anything else.In conclusionPros: too many to mention. battery life is great too. However I like having two batteries, and found a good 3rd party battery for $13Cons: small buffer if you shoot very fast raw. I shoot raw, but rarely more than 1 or 2, not a con for me.If you know how to use a camera in manual mode or want to learn, buy it or a D7100.

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.
