If you happen to be shopping around for an APS-C format camera and this falls within your budget, look no further and get the D7000. For a crop-sensor camera, Nikon is pushing the boundaries by including more features while maintaining great performance. If a full-frame camera is out-of-reach or is not what you're looking for, the D7000 is the next best thing. Great low-noise performance up to 1600 ISO; still really clean pictures. You can still get good shots past 1600, but as expected the noise will start creeping in. There's mirror lock-up for long exposures. Intervalometer for time-lapses or star trails. Weather-proof magnesium-alloy body feels great and let's you think about one less thing when shooting outdoors. Solid yet compact body compared to the bulkier full-framed cameras; compact yet solid compared to plasticky entry-level cameras. 39 auto-focus points provide more than enough spots to place your subject exactly where you want. Commander mode for off-camera flash. AND it shoots 1080 HD video.You might say I'm just listing specs on the camera. But that's the great thing about the Nikon D7000. ALL of it is in one package. Going through the process of selecting a camera, you do the meticulous research on everything that is available. Slowly weed things out: budget, lens selection, features, customer reviews, sensor noise, etc. I was teetering on the edge of the the Nikon D90, a tried and true mid-level camera, and the Canon T2i, the new mid-level camera with the HD video flair to it. Then you go into the product comparison where you develop two checklists: the first checklist are all the requirements that your camera should have; the second checklist are all the features that you want, but could live without. Once the Nikon D7000 specs were officially announced, both checklists went out the window and I made the purchase.Having parted with my hard-earned cash, I am very satisfied with the camera.

I was a big film fanatic all this years because I never liked how digital rendered colors and handled highlights. D7000 is exceptional in this case, especially if you process RAW files in Aperture 3 and turn on extended mode in Curves. I can't comment on JPEGs because I never shoot them, but RAW files are fantastic.Another brilliant things is high ISO performance, there is literally no noise at any settings. There is a grain but film also has grain and I do not care about it, but there are no blue/violet pixels even on ISO 6400 photos shot at candle light.I also have huge amount fo old Nikon lenses and ability to use them was a big plus for me, D7000 can meter all lenses made by Nikn or for Nikon from 1959 and above. As for metering, it DOES NOT overexpose!!! At least in RAW files, none of my RAW files have pure white pixels. But because in camera JPEG processor is not as smart as you, it can make overexposed JPEGs as a result. That's because JPEGs have 256 shades of each color and raw has 16384.In my opinion D7000 is absolutely best crop sensor camera ever made by any manufactor.

This is the second Nikon D-srl camera I have bought in the last year. I bought the D3100 last September after much deliberation between the D3100 and D7000. I chose the D3100, since it was going to be my first D-srl camrea, because of the ease of use. I was greatly please with my purchase but, I quickly out grew the camera. I mostly shoot sports and fast action photography so the D3100 put to many limts because of the low FPS. I got my D7000 about a month ago, and I have loved using it.Above I explained my chose between the D3100 and D7000 for the following reason. I have read may reviews talking about the bad focus of the D7000 and other issues along the this line. I feel that some people maybe having these issues because they got to much camera to fast. My experience with the simplier D3100 really helped me to be able to use my D7000 to its fulliest.I love this camera. I think if you are looking to upgrade from a beginner D-srl camera then just buy this one and stopping looking. If you are looking at this for your first D-srl, then I would suggest to get the D3100 or D5100 and then upgrade when you feel that you have out grown that camera.

Prevailing opinion may say that you should put your money in "glass" (lenses) and not in the camera body, but I don't think this is as true in our digital age. I owned the D-90 for over a year and it is a great camera, but when I put the same lenses on the D-7000 I get more depth of color, sharper images, and in general better pictures. There are so many good reviews of the technical aspects of the camera, that I will just go over the things that I particularly like. The build and feel of the camera is solid and the using the viewfinder is a delight. The video control buttons were improved and make it easier to use with less fiddling around. Having two SD cards is a treat, I use one for Video and overflow and the other for pictures. I loved all the buttons and settings on the D-90 but invariably I would put the camera down and then the next time I used it not remember that I had changed something -- now you can save your settings, two sets of them, so that you can start with known settings. And finally, the scene mode gives you a preview of the scene you are choosing, and in the touch up section menu, you have many ways to enhance your images including making wonderful color sketches -- it's fun sometimes to use these quick touch up enhancements, download to your computer or ipad and just mail them off to folks. Just a great camera, the price is high, but in so many ways well worth it.

Of course its a great camera for still. There are so many review about the still capability already. But the controlls of the video is OK but could be better.I played with the Nikon d7000 video a little. I even bought a Steadicam Jr for it. It took me a couple day to figure out I had to make an adapter plate to make the Steadicam work. I added a quick release so I can use the camera on the Steadicam Jr and take the camera off quickly. Here is my observation of the using nikon D7000 for video.1) There is no remote start/stop to turn the video on and off to be use on the steadicam Jr or similar stabilizer. I have to catch the "floating" camera on the Steadicam Jr to turn the recording on and off. So a time delay or remote switch to turn on the video is impossible?2) The D7000 camera is very "rear" heavy to compare with a "normal" camcorder. I made an adapter plate to allow the d7000 to work on the Steadicam Jr. Once the adapter plate is installed the Steadicam Jr works fine.3) There is no motorized zoom on the D7000 and zooming is not going to be smooth. It is almost impossible not to stop the recording on the Steadicam Jr to zoom.4) The built-in microphone is so close to the lens, it is picking up the noise of the lens motor when auto focusing is in action. I am using a old zoom 24-120mm without the silent wave motor. Other lense could be better.5) I also bought the IR remote controller, however, it will only control the shutter, it will not start/stop of the video remotely.6) No through the lens view finder to see the video means it is difficult if not impossible to take video under bright sun light.Still a great camera for occasional video recording for vacation.

Ive owned this beauty for a few months now and the difference is HUGE compared to my prior D80. the complements rolled in once my portfolio was updated with images from this body. Its hefty and has a million more things to offer. Images are spectacular and videos as well, soo smooth! The double decker function wheel is my favorite. you can easily switch your shutter to quiet mode when you dont want to disturb others. I'm considering buying a second D7000 body to keep as a spare for my wedding work and fully retiring my D80 to purely leisure work.

...to get low-light performance like this. I'd spent a lot of money on fast lenses but my D80 just wasn't taking the photos I wanted--too much noise and grain in low light. I'd done my research and thought that the answer was to get a larger sensor. I specifically expected to need a larger sensor and lower pixel count, to maximize the size of each light well. So when my wife asked for the D7000, which has the same size sensor and MORE pixels, I thought I would be really disappointed.To put it briefly: I'm not. At all. I'm taking natural light photos in dim conditions and loving the results, even with the crappy kit lens! Seriously, I crank this up to ISO 1000 and it's pristine. Even at 1600 and 3200 it's beautiful. It blows my five-year-old D80 out of the water without half trying. I guess sensor technology has really improved.Better yet, it has more features than the D80. Live View alone is worth the price of admission. Then throw in a much nicer rear display, lighter but stronger body, and faster processing... wow. Oh, and did I mention HD video? With real lenses, instead of the crap you get with most digital camcorders? The only thing it's missing is a GPS, and there's an input for that.I'm still saving up for that full-frame camera, some day. But right now the D7000 is doing everything I want.

I upgraded from the Nikon D40....Wow! I can't believe how good this camera takes pictures. I am having fun learning all the neat features this camera offers. I actually purchased the Nikon D5100 from the local camera shop and returned it 2 days later after reading reviews on the D7000. I also went with the D7000 because of the ability to purchase older lenses on Ebay at great pricing; seeing the D7000 works with lenses with or without onboard lens motors. I was able to purchase a push pull 80-200mm 2.8 lens for $560.00 and I can tell you the pictures are incredible. The clarity of the pictures are stunning. If you are struggling with stepping up to this camera vs the D3100 or D5100 save your money and you'll save money on lenses. Some of the old Nikon lenses are great; look at the 50mm 1.8 none motor lens only around $100 on Amazon new while the motor lens of the same is over $200. It makes getting this camera an easy choice; although all Nikon DSLR's are great it just came down to lens choice for me.

UPDATE 3/13/12 (1.2 yrs): I believe the single biggest improvement over the previous Nikons (D90) is color fidelity and dynamic range. It's subtle, but at this price point, improvements are incremental but vastly appreciated. This camera just captures the finest color gradations in dimly lit shaded areas or even in very low light. I'm sure it's a combination of better image sensor technology and improvements in the processing engine (software side). Proper use of white balance and ISO are also critical to really nail colors and fidelity. It's also an extremely responsive camera. Just fires away.--------------------------------------------------------------Having owned the D90 since fall 2008, before breaking it a couple months ago, I can tell you the D7000 is a big step up in a few key areas, although they're not necessarily related to picture quality (never would have bought one if my D90 was still alive). The D7000 focuses faster and with more intelligence as it has many more focus points (39 versus 11). The new shutter system is extremely quick and quiet. The VIDEO, especially now that it supports 720P at 30fps, is hugely improved, and I've found snagging quick vids of the kids has become invaluable. I see no need to shoot 1080p, which is just overkill.But, the D7000 really is aimed at the insatiable enthusiast who'll never leave the camera set on "A." The D7000 is meant to be tweaked and customized beyond what a cheaper camera might allow. If you're only seeking a camera with zero shutter lag that offers cleaner shots with better colors, deeper blacks, and those blurry backgrounds, then any cheaper D-SLR will do, especially the D3100 (if you're a Nikon fan). Don't bother spending the cash on the D7000 if you don't plan on READING the entire manual, exploring the vast menus, buying several lenses, and relentlessly seeking alternative ways to capture images.

m1OD0T07A3L7XF / mo21DO3I3VQEWCO Length:: 1:16 MinsThis review is for the video capabilities of the D7000 ONLY.As you can see in the attached video to this review, the quality of the video is stellar. It's as though I have a $20,000 video camera that I can use around the house. The best part is being able to use depth of field to create truly cinema-like movies.The audio sensitivity level on my D7000 had to be turned to LOW, however, otherwise all audio-- onboard thru external mics-- was distorted badly. This is easily adjusted using the LCD menu. Also, the focus takes a bit to do its job, which is a pain if you're trying to use autofocus to quickly adjust between different objects at varying distances from the camera. This is the only real complaint I have about shooting video with the D7000. However, if focus remains constant throughout the scene, you're fine.I highly recommend using an external mic. For the attached video to this review I used a Sennheiser ME66.

When Nikon announced the D7000, I immediately placed my preorder into Amazon as soon as they would take my credit card information. Boy am I glad I did, this camera is amazing.The image quality is outstanding - it's like they combined Shania Twain and Caroline Wozniaki into the camera - BEAUTIFUL. I mentioned this to my wife and now she's jealous when I pixel peep at 100% on my photos. I keep telling her it's simply platonic, but she won't listen.High ISO performance is very good - I shoot RAW, so I can't comment on JPEG, but I'm sure all the Facebook people who shoot small JPEG will also be impressed. I'm not sure why they think everyone cares about them sharing every facet of their life through photos, but whatever.Weather Sealing - This stuff WORKS and thank goodness, because the tears the Canon guys cried once they heard the 60D compared to the D7000 would have completely ruined any lesser camera.Autofocus performance - It autofocuses so good I don't even really have to lift the camera myself - it just seems to have a life of its own. Frankly I'd be surprised if one day it just doesn't go out by itself and get some good photos, making me all but obsolete. Luckily Nikon didn't include arms, so the camera will still need me to extract the photos to my computer. Opposable thumbs, baby - EAT IT D7000.Meters with AIS lenses - Finally Nikon got awesome and brought this feature downward. Of course, a lot of people buying the D7000 won't even know what an AI/AI-S lens is, or why it won't autofocus on their camera, and they surely won't even know what "metering" is, but at least Nikon threw the knowledgeable enthusiasts a bone without requiring a DXXX purchase.In all, this camera is amazing. It has enhanced my endurance and satisfaction, made me last longer, and has overall improved my confidence. I'm now firmly committed to Nikon, and I'm sure with this caliber of camera they're going to achieve maximum penetration into the market. Just wait until someone thrusts this camera into your face and you'll know what all the hub-bub is about!

I got this today and snapped about 500 pics. All I can say is wow. I opted for the body only and the Nikon 18-200 lens. Great combo and a really fast camera. My wife has the D5100 so I was use to that. This camera snaps the picture before I notice it focused. Takes some getting use too at first. I can say I love it from the first shots. I have researched this camera for a long time (6 months) before I got it. But it is worth the wait. I look forward to future wedding and portrait jobs. This camera and lens combo is great. If you are in the market for this level of camera and just need one that does this is your camera. There is very little hesitation from focus to snap so far. Even low light works great. I have some great shots from it my first day and know I will get many more..... Bottom line if you want a really good camera get this.....

I am admittedly a newcomer to the DSLR world having shot film for many years and then a few point and shoots digital cameras and one other DSLR from another brand. My first experience with a DSLR from another brand was a bit disappointing even though I was being told that the particular band was an innovator in the Digital world that other brands tended to follow. Which it seemed that they had great ideas but had trouble following through in providing a great product and a system that you could count on being there in future.With that said; I started the hunt for a DSLR and a photography system that I could grow with into the future.I really believe that I have found that with Nikon and the D7000. When I first picked the camera up it just felt right! And even in auto I was able to take photographs in lighting that the other camera I had tried would just lock up and refused to take the photo. As I starting learning the camera I found the menus and options, while plentiful, are intuitive and easy to manipulate. I have captured some great photos using Auto and Scene modes, and also been able to flip to Manual mode and manipulate the shots to get exactly what I want.One selling point that really proved to be a wise "test" for a new camera is that my wife who normally used a point-and-shoot cameras, can pick it up, turn it on and literally point and shoot and capture great images in Auto and Scene modes. Not too many DSLR's can offer that kind of diversity with relatively little user input.I Love this camera and will only like it better as I become more familiar with all the settings and options.Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)

It took a while to get - and I guess they are still hard to find sometimes. I got mine at the MSRP, I think it's shameful that some retailers are selling higher. My biggest reason for buying this camera was the features and I haven't been disappointed so far. The frame rate is so fast that I have to set it on CL to keep from constantly clicking off 2 frames when I only intend 1. I have not noticed any of the hot pixels that some have complained about. One of this cameras features that I like so much is it's low-light high-ISO range - def. better than my old D200, and better than the D300 also. I didn't like that I had to buy SD cards, but I found some for a good price, and I do like the 2 slots for cards. One thing I don't like - the counter is not accurate. It shows that I can fit 225 images onto an 8G card, but really it's over 400 (at least it errs in a good way). The battery life is exceptional in this camera - I shoot all day on one battery. At least that makes up for not using the same battery as the D200 and now my D700. One little thing I wish Nikon would have done a little better - only 3 shots on bracketing. I do appreciate being able to bracket by 2 f/stops - the D300 and D700 will only do 1 stop at a time. I also notice some exposure prob. with highlights, but nothing major. Anyway - no regrets about this camera!!

I have used a D40, owned a D60 and D90 and have shot the pentax equivalent. This is the best upgrade and the best camera I have ever used. I'm sure there are better that cost twice as much but my photos and videos have taken a huge step up with this camera. If you are coming from an old D40 or something and use your old lenses, it may be time to get a better lens. I have noticed my cheap older lenses almost look worse with this camera but that's only because it's capturing more detail. My new lenses look stunning with this camera.The new controls, etc have also made this the easiest to use camera even though it has a ton more options.If you are on the fence about upgrading, I would say GO FOR IT! You wont be disappointed.

This is the best Nikon digital SLR I have used to date. Ken Rockwell's review was spot on. This camera makes taking beautiful pictures even easier. I have been happy with its ergonomics, weight, and quality. (I also got the md-b11 battery grip and love its overall feel.) I opted for the body only to go with other lenses that I already own. I have been especially happy with the low light performance of the camera. This was definitely a great step forward in camera evolution for Nikon. If you are shopping in this price range and do not have money invested in other brands of lenses than I highly recommend it. It is hard to say you should switch from another platform considering there are so many solid offerings. Canon's 7D, wow. But for the Nikon crew this is a great camera. Highly recommend. Be sure to do your homework though. I have read so many horror stories of people having bad experiences because they did not know what they were buying. Spending over $1,000 does not make you a photographer, or guarantee that your photos will be dazzling. This camera will highlight your solid technique and allow you to do more than the entry level digital SLRs.

A lot of people would disagree when I say that the Nikon D7000 is the best beginner's camera for any DSLR newbie. But to me it was perfect. At first, the camera looked quite overwhelming, but reading through different reviews, a few tutorials, It was easy to be all set for some action. Took a lot of portraits, tried my hand on landscape and even did some star trail pictures..loved it. Although my interest in photography is fairly new, however I am generally an avid reader and quick learner.Barely took me less then a week to have a full feel of the camera's potential. So if you are a newbie, but a motivated newbie and ready to learn more about DSLR and photography in general. Its really a no brainer that you buy a D7000 now and hone your skills to its max, until you move to being an amateur. I won't spend my money on the lower end cheaper models and later end up upgrading. But it all depends on your budget too.So, if money's not an issue and you are motivated to learn. The D7000 strikes that right balance of power and versatility, while retaining some simplicity too.

The reviews that compare the D7000 to the $7000 DX are not overstating the capabilities of this camera. I have run about 500 exposures through this camera and find them to be superb. I started my digital photography with the D1 and have evolved from there. Comparing this camera to the D70s... the D7000 creates a RAW file about 3 times the size and density of the D70s. The high ISO performance is incredible. I have little or no use for the video, and have yet to fully explore an image with Photoshop, but the raw material seems to be almost limitless. The functionality of the camera in terms of both ergonomics and technology are superb. The ease of navigating from function to function is far easier than anything I've seen. The lens in this bundle is mundane, at best. It is functional, but offers nothing noteworthy, other than maybe the low price. While it may be a travel lens from time to time, I will keep my 10-20 on the camera as a standard lens and revert to the 85 and 180 for other use, rather than this mid-range zoom. The VR function in a low priced lens is of some value, but the high ISO/low noise, great range capability of the camera make VR a minimal add-on. I have shot images at ISO 3200 that far exceed anything I could capture at any ISO with the D70s.This is the camera to have (regardless of price) in today's market.I was a professional photographer (advertising) for many years and this is the finest camera with the widest creative range I have ever used.

I have had a Nikon D-90 camera for a while and wanted to upgrade to the D-7000. I did and I have not regretted it.This camera is similar to the D-90 but has a lot of new and better features than the D-90. The most important features for me are:16 Mega pixelsI take quite a lot of photos and submit them to stock photo companies. The increased resolution allows me to crop pictures and still get a hi-res outcome. It has the second highest resolution (at the moment) of all Nikons except the D3X.2 memory cardsThis is one of the best things about this camera and only seen in the most expensive Nikons at the moment. It is a priceless feature that allows me to record my pictures on a backup memory card in case one card goes bad. Have you ever had that happen to you? I have and it is frustrating loosing your work. This feature alone is worth getting this camera for.Super fast AF and overall performanceThe camera feels overall much faster than the D-90. I focuses faster, it works faster. And I love the shorter "click" from the shutter.Separate dial for shutter actionInstead of the cumbersome selection of single shot, continuous shooting etc using combinations of buttons it is now a dial. Simple and much better!Very similar to the D-90One great thing about this camera is that if you know the D-90 it will take you very little time to get acquainted with the new features and immediately enjoy the camera once you get it.I know there are other new features that I haven't mentions including 14 bit color and better live view but the above features are the ones I like the most.

I wore out my Nikon d70 which I think was the most glorious body I've owned, simply amazing, and I've been a "fine arts" photographer for over 30 years, have nikon glass, the whole kit. anyway, if you need to upgrade, its a no brainer, everything works well, you can customize until the end of time, and its metering and low light capabilities are stunning. And its not too large, not too small, just right for my large hands. And you might be asking: isn't it better than x camera or y camera, who knows in a general way. Depends what you need it for, its fast but has a limited buffer, so not great for capturing sports, probably not bad, but you don't want to base your livelihood on this body for that. Otherwise, its a tough and thoughtfully made camera, should last a long time. I like to do a lot of cropping and image searching and this thing has great resolution (if you have good glass especially). Don't care at all about video, and its phone app sucks.....(for you humor free ultra gear heads, I'm joking, the phone app is great.........) So, don't worry this decision, if you know your way around a camera, this thing will not get in your way, but also don't buy it from anyone who ups the price, wait patiently for amazon or BH or adorama or the like, stay away from everyone else, they are sharks. You are warned.

With this purchase I am making a big generational jump... I own a D70, the great grand father of the D7000. I have been pretty happy with the D70 and wanted to wait for a camera that would successfully address its main shortcomings (heavy noise above 400 iso, no activ Dlighting, only 6mp, no video, a ridiculously small screen...) I don't plan on changing cameras every other year so I wanted one would enjoy for the long run.So far I think that the D7000 fits the bill. My first impression was actually a bit of a letdown... I expected the camera to have the same grip as the D70 and it is actualy smaller, heavier and not as ergonomic... I soon forgot about it as I started to explore the possibilities of the camera. I love the AF, the Activ Dlighting works beautifully, and I have been shooting at 1000 iso and above with very nice results. The pictures are sharp and the colors vivid (a big improvement on the D70) So many functions can be accessed without getting into the menu, we can select fonctions for specific hardware buttons. The video was not the main draw for me, but after seeing how crisp it is I think that I will probably use it quite a bit more than I had anticipated.D70 owners (I hope I was not the last one!): If the grip is a key issue and you are willing to pay an additional $600 then you should wait for the D400. Otherwise the D7000 is the one for you. It successfully addresses all of the shortcomings of the D70 and much more. It's simply a great camera.

This camera is horrendous.I had to return 5 of them because of dead pixels in the live view window. The sixth one had only one, faint pixel so I kept it. The camera meter is terrible. For example, couldn't set proper exposure on auto when trying to photograph a person wearing a light blue shirt in daylight. Nikon told me that you need "sufficient contrast" (Their term) for the meter to work and a person wearing a light blue shirt standing in New York City on a sunny day apparently didn't satisfy that.36 days after I got the camera, the shutter would start locking up and I would get an ERR message in the LCD display. I called Nikon and they asked me to send it in at my own expense for repair. 3 weeks later the camera came back and now it doesn't recognize any CPU lenses. Nikon wants me to send it back in again at my expense. I have since called American Express and asked them to deal with this and get me my money back. I just don't want to bother with repairing this or sending it in to Nikon again. Not worth it.Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage.I was upgrading from film to digital and having been a like-long Nikon film user, I was expecting the same level of quality with this camera. Sadly, what I got was a terribly produced flimsy piece of garbage.Save your money and if you want to go digital go with Canon.

I upgraded from the D300 to the D7000. I'll say at the onset that the D7000 represents a significant upgrade from the D300. The first thing that impressed me was the D7000's ability to focus in near darkness. I was astonished by this and wasn't expecting it. But the most impressive aspect of the camera is its dynamic range. Shots that would have been blown out on the D300 are not so on the D7000. This feature is reminiscent of film cameras. The other major benefit is the D7000's truer color rendering. This saves a lot of time in post processing. The D7000 is also whisper quiet. Of course, the build quality is much better on the D300 and for me, the ergonomics are better. I didn't think I'd appreciate the lighter camera body of the D7000, but after using it only once in the field, I like it. One pain in the neck is that it is easy to accidentally move the setting on the mode dial. Nikon should have designed it so that settings could be locked in place. I haven't gotten into video, so I'm not able to speak to it on the D7000.The D7000 won't make me a better photographer, per se, but it's nice to have better tools that save time and allow me to capture images that I couldn't have done with the D300. In a nutshell, the D7000 represents a paradigm shift in what a prosumer camera can achieve. If you're sitting on the fence and wondering if you should upgrade to the D7000, just do it.

I bought this camera on an impulse. I dropped off my D40 and 35mm 1.8 for cleaning/small repair and was told I'd be sans camera for 3 weeks. So, I said "screw it" and bought this camera and the 50mm 1.8 as a kit. At first, much like a new pair of shoes, I was disappointed. But once I broke in the soles, so to speak, I forgot how much I had paid and started to really enjoy this device. I've since taken over 5,000 photos with it on my recent travels. If you are debating between this and a D700, get both, as this is far better as a walking-around camera and the DX lenses are cheaper. Or, if you want to save come coin, get the perfectly good D3100. But neither will be as much fun as this puppy. Nice weight without being too heavy, deep grip, quick autofocus and intelligent auto mode, and great performance at high iso. I even use live view as my dog gets scared when I disappear behind the viewfinder. Even video isn't bad, though an external mic is required. Just buy it and don't look back.

I'm not gonna write a book like everyone else on here. This camera is perfect if your taking photography classes or getting started and your serious about photography. This was my first dslr and I use this in my classes and because it can do so much more than the D90 and D3100 you learn can learn a lot more. You can't go wrong with the D7000 and a 35mm 1.8 or a 50mm 1.8 to get yourself going.

m2OE5OUZUDLCAT / mo1UXQYXEOVOCIK Length:: 1:21 MinsI use the JVC GYHM100U Pro Camcorder but even though it is lightweight, I found it's configuration cumbersome for many applications where portability and covertness was concerned. The DSLR has been a great addition and is ideal for outings and quick video grab shots. Many people are using the Canon product but I had over 20K of Nikon Glass and really did not want to move to another system. I am pleased with the results. the 1080/24 frame rate has not given me all that much problem, besides I shoot 720/30 most of the time anyway. If you MUST have 1080/30 you will have to stick with the canon products. Here is a quick 1 minute video I shot with it first time.... right out of the box in idiot mode... full auto! [...]You will experience the jello effect if you shake the camera extremely fast while shooting video but this is to be expected with DSLR's... Just simply don't pan fast or shake the camera abruptly and you will get good footage!

I really liked this camera. It's long way for me to understand what all this camera can do. But so far the features that I have read and used are awesome. I initially thought this might be over my budget but after seeing the pictures I don't think so anymore. For a person like me who travel a lot it's worth every penny. 18- 105 lens is also perfect fit with this camera.

I upgraded (or so I thought) from a D80 which I have used for about 4 years. After a couple of months with the D7000, I am disappointed in that the sharpness of the images taken with the new one is noticeably less than those of the D80. I tested using the same lens, 18-200, not a particularly sharp lens, but the one I have used regularly, same subjects --- and when looked at at 100% magnification, the difference was very noticeable: the D7000 with a larger sensor is just not as sharp.I also made a comparison, also of flowers in bright light, using a 35MM 1.8 DX and, again, the D80 was superior in both sharpness and also, with this lens, in color quality. I've noticed that the D7000 tends to overexpose.I should have done these tests immediately on getting the camera, while I could still return it to Amazon, but now two and half months later, I am stuck with what may be a lemon, so be forewarned. I used it only a little, liked its other qualities but image quality is paramount for me --- and I thought it might be my error. It's really disappointing.

for the D400, when my wife needed a new camera. I got to play with this. A great little camera. As I get older I appreciate a large screen, with useful info and the ability to deliver what you need to know. Light and easy to handle, no real downside. My wife and I tussle over this, while I continue to wait.

I waited for a long time before switching from point-and-shoot digital, back to a DSLR. I was intimidated by the price point and wasn't sure that the price justified the quality I was getting, when there were so many good options in compact digital cameras. I am so glad I am back. The 3-inch lcd display is great for reviewing pictures and the Nikkor lens that came with it is great quality. The images are sharp and bright. The camera has so many settings and is so advanced, but is easy enough to use, even for an amateur photographer like me. I am really glad I came back to the world of SLR. I find I am taking so many more pictures now and bringing my camera along on all my trips because I like this camera so much.

This is a great camera! It costs a bit more than the D5100 which has the same processor. I have large hands so went for the D7000 do to having a larger more solid body. The only issue I have had is sometimes the pictures are overexposed and there is a little rubber door at bottom by hand grip that keeps opening due to your hand holding camera. The image quality is great, good ISO range, features are great, and it is overall a fantastic camera! Very happy with it!

Having been a long time nikon shooter, I really felt the move was toward full frame sensors. This camera shows how much image quality can still be wrung out of the dx format. I was really blown away with the color quality and crispness of the images. But as soon as I got my hands on it I was starting to feel this would be an ideal travel camera. It's small and pretty light. The big 3" monitor is the same as on my D3 and was state of the art when first introduced. Megapixels do matter and this camera gives you a lot of cropping ability. The high ISO ratings give you so much flexibility. Even at ISO 6400, pictures shot indoors allowed adequate shutter speeds to stop moving children. Unless blown up big, you are barely able to differentiate between pics shot at ISO 100 and ISO 6400. I am extremely happy with this camera at a modest price.

I used this camera for few months now. Previously I had a Pentax K10. I was looking to upgrade to the latest generation Pentax SLR. Pentax K10 has an unreliable autofocus system, this is more apparent when you upgrade to a better lens. I hoped the new Pentax K5 would solve my autofocus problems. Pentax K5 is overpriced and it looks the autofocus is better but not the best. On the other hand Nikon D7000 has a wonderful autofocus and the sensor is almost as good as the on in Pentax K5. As other reviewers mentioned a good autofocus is way more important than a sligtly better range for the the sensor. I am very pleased with this Nikon although I had to switch brands.

Hugely customisable, shoots 1080p video, amazing quality photos and easy to use - a very much needed upgrade.The good:- Really great looking camera, solid build, massive 3" LCD screen on the back- the D7000 manages to fit all the necessary dials and buttons onto a relatively small and light body and they are all exactly where you need them to be- 1080p video at 30fps, with face and subject tracking- Live View mode on the LCD for both pics and video- The option to attach an external stereo mic- Amazing low-light functionality, even at very high ISO levels there is little noise on the image- Two SD card slotsThe bad:- The auto-focus on the video isn't very quick- If you use the in-built mic, rather than an external one, the noise of the AF is very obvious when you playback the videoConclusion:The D7000 is brilliant, versatile, sturdy, customisable, fast, looks great, all for a very fair price. Not the best camera for shooting video by any means but if you are patient (or spend some serious dough on the necessary accessories) the 1080p video can turn out great.

My studio was the first in our area to embrace digital imaging in the late 90s. We have spent lots-0-dollars over the years. Last spring, my new D-700 got really heavy in Egypt with a long VR lens; moreover, I had a video camera. The 7000 shoots true 1080 video and has external remote sound inputs as well. The metering system is fabulous and the d-lighting processor is faster than my rather expensive D-700. I often shoot performing arts and the chip is very low noice at high ISOs. Hope this helps. Interested in Infrared? Learn more a [...] as well as seeing some examples of the D-7000 and D-700. Gary W. Sweetman, FDPE, FSA, Q. Th.

Simply put the camera is amazing. I used a D40 for 2 years and loved it for the most part, so I decided to upgrade to the D7000 after all the great reviews and talking with some serious photo lovin friends. I definitely recommend if for those that truly want to take photography seriously and want to spend under $7500.

You can read the details elsewhere. Suffice it to say, it is the best DX camera on the market today, and it is as good or better than the Nikon D700 (I own that one too) even though the D7000 is DX format, and the D700 is FX format, which should give better quality. With the D7000 DX you can use the smaller and lighter DX lenses, meaning you get to carry a smaller bag...great for travel and good for your neck!As others have I'm sure noted, the D700 and higher end models do perform slightly better in very low light without flash, running at very high ISO settings. No question, if you are shooting this way...usually meaning sports or wildlife, and you are very serious about it, then you are going to have to have an FX type camera too.If you're like me, however, you'll still mostly pack your DX SLR...and to me, that is now hands down the D7000. It is great camera, and quite easy to use too.
