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

I went a little crazy last year and bought a D700. I learned that camera pretty well and absolutely loved shooting with it. But I am an amateur and always felt a little guilty having spent that much money on a hobby. What's more, the D700 is big and heavy compared to amateur cameras (it's an awesome size for pros), and I actually found myself leaving it at home on occasion because of that size and weight. So when the D7000 was out for a bit and received such good reviews, I jumped.I fell in love with the D7000 immediately and sold the D700. Of course, I would have kept both if I could justify the cash, but the D7000 is so good that I usually don't feel like I'm missing much. There are quite a few interesting points to be made comparing the two cameras, but I recognize that the average shopper would not be considering the two in the same class, so I'll just say I'd be happy to answer questions in the comments. The short version is that while the D700 produces slightly better images and generally handles better, the D7000 is at least 90% the camera for the half the price and is better suited to the amateur shooter in several respects.So why do I like it so much?-Beautiful images, of course.-Low light performance is extremely admirable for a DX sensor.-100% viewfinder-Flash commander mode for using flash off-camera-The right amount of heft and size for my taste. Build feels excellent, and it's got weatherproofing!-Dual SD cards are a nice touch.-Handling is great. U1 and U2 modes are a wonderful addition. Nikon's command dials have a nice feel and are extremely useful.-I didn't buy this camera for video, but the video looks great IF you handle it right. Think movie camera rather than family video cam.What I don't like as much?-Buffer is a bit small when shooting NEF (RAW). It doesn't affect me because I don't shoot much action, but heavy sport shooting could be difficult in NEF.-SD cards still aren't as fast as CF cards.-Viewfinder is a nice size for DX, but it's still nowhere near the size of an FX viewfinder.-I think I prefer the AF selector on the D700 by a hair. One finger vs two. Not that big a deal.-See above, but video is obviously not as easy as a dedicated video camera. Who cares?I mentioned the D5100 in my title because I think many people are wondering if the D7000 is worth the extra cost over the D5100. The short answer is that it depends on how serious of a shooter you are. Do you understand the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and ISO? If the answer is "No, and I don't care," stop reading and buy the D5100, or even the D3100. Do you want to film your kids playing soccer? The D5100 is better suited for that, although I'd really suggest you buy a dedicated video camera. These are primarily still cameras after all. If you're a more advanced shooter, or you'd like to become one, consider the following:Some people say the D5100 has the same sensor and the option to shoot video at 30 fps, so why would you possibly want a D7000 instead? There are several very important upgrades that the D5100 does NOT have, some of which I could not live without:-Flash commander mode: Enables you to shoot your external flash or flashes off camera. Huge capability.-Continuous shooting speed is 6 fps vs 4 fps.-Battery life is far superior-Dual SD cards. Not critical, but a very nice feature for backup especially.-Lossless compressed 14-bit NEFs. Probably not a deal breaker, but I want every bit of quality available from that sensor!-100% viewfinder vs 95%. I didn't know I wanted it until I got it.-Non AF-S lens compatible (for autofocusing), Will meter with AI lenses. Another huge feature. I can use my 30-year-old 85mm f/2 lens.-Faster shutter-Better AF system. Another big deal for dynamic shooting situations.-Flash bracketingThe D5100 is cheaper, lighter, has a swiveling screen, and shoots video at 30 fps.At $300 more, I think the D7000 is an excellent value compared to the D5100 when you consider the extra features it has.What else can I say that hasn't already been said elsewhere? The D7000 is the camera to beat in this class, if you know how to shoot, and often, even if you don't.

There were many positive reviews about this camera in Amazon. Like many buyers I chose to ignore the negative reviews. My first purchase with the camera was the kit with 18-105mm lens. After hundreds of shots, only about 15% of them were sharp. I thought the problem were the lens. So, I returned the kit and bought a D7000 body, along with Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G micro and 85mm f/1.8G prime lenses.After testing the new camera body with two new prime lenses, I discovered there was a serious back-focusing problem with the camera. The AF Fine Tuning feature in the camera is quite good. However, I needed to adjust -15 for the 105mm and -4 for the 85mm. Then again, the AF Fine Tuning does not solve all the focusing problems. Depending on the shooting distance, I would have to calibrate the AF again and again. So, the calibration is hit-and-miss.Having trusted Nikon for 30 years, I believed I just had a bad batch twice in a row and I should still have a good chance of getting a good copy. So, I returned the camera again got another copy a few days later. To my dismay, same serious back-focusing problem still exist in the new camera. Then I did some digging in Amazon review (paying attention to the negative ones this time) and Googled more discussion forums to see if I am not alone. Sure enough, many people had reported the same problem dated back in July 2011.So, I returned the camera again and decided not to try another one.In all fairness, I like the features the camera offers. The body is very responsive. The AF accuracy with the LCD Live View is extremely high (though very slow). However, the Phase-Detect AF system is a complete disappointment.The best thing I got out of this experience is the knowledge I gained from testing AF and fine tuning it. So much information is available on Amazon and photo forums on this subject. If you own a mid-range camera like D7000, you owe it to yourself to learn how to test and calibrate your camera with your lens collection. Based on my experience, having tried 3 copies without success, it's fair to me to give it a 1-star rating. A camera that cannot focus is not a usable camera on my book. I will probably wait for the new Nikon cameras coming out this fall (if rumors are right).With this writing, I am hoping all the buyers of this camera (or any camera) thoroughly test their cameras AS SOON AS they receive them. Do not wait until 30 days pass and you have to send them back to Nikon for service. If you pay for a new precise instrument, you expect it to work out-of-box. I chose not to send a brand new camera to Nikon for calibration because it's brand new! Plus, some people have reported same focusing problem even AFTER Nikon service center told them their cameras have been repaired. I am glad I did not need to go through that.Hope this is helpful. Your feedback is welcome. Thank you!

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

Before using my Nikon d7000 I was using a d3100. I didn't expect the change to be so big, but this camera has exceeded my expectations.First thing I was impressed with, was how fast it focus and shoots. You point it anywhere, it's gonna focus fast.The menu does change a bit, but it's easy to move around and understand. If not, the guide the camera comes with is quite complete. It even comes in Spanish for Spanish speakers like myself.About the ergonomics, it feels great in your hands. You can really feel the change from the d3100 to this one. Feels much more pro.When it comes to iso, it is better in noise reduction as they promise so you won't be disappointed.I read plenty of reviews before buying this camera, because I wasn't sure which one to get and for some reason I had doubts about buying this one cuz I thought it was "too small" and "didn't look so pro". I change my mind now, I'm really happy with my purchase.About the video feature... To be honest I never make videos but I tried it yesterday to see how it went. It does look pretty good but I noticed that Everytime I changed the focus, I could actually hear it in the video recording, so it's a bit annoying. As I said, I don't use video and don't know If this is normal, but i guess this feature is maybe not the best of the camera.About the battery, I'm used to buying two of them just in case but apparently I won't need it with this camera. I was on a trip and took pictures for three days, I came back and took more sample pictures and I only charged once before the trip. It really lasts pretty long.All together, I love this camera. Sounds weird but it completes me. When I use it with a 35mm 1.8 (besides the downside that it isn't a wide lens) the pictures look great and I love the Colors.I think that for a beginner like me in this career of photography, this is the best camera considering the cost. I highly recommend it.

If you set it side-by-side with a D90, it's hard to tell the difference bycasual glance. The D7000 has many features the D90 doesn't, including a truemirror lock up mode - great for long exposure night shots to reduce initialvibration when the exposure starts. (This can be done with a black reflector orbig hat, otherwise.)If you like the D90 - you'll like this. It feels very similar in weight, buildand size. Not critical for performance, but the mirror of the D7000 is *much*faster than the D90, giving the D7000 a very distinctive and sharp (not to beconfused with loud) shutter sound.One of the best features in movie mode, is that you can use manual mode forvideo. No longer do you have to endure the stepped increments of the auto-gainof the D90. It still has the same rolling shutter problems, but that can easilybe removed with the appropriate third party software later. The addition of theexternal mic jack is also appreciated. The focusing in movie mode can be madeconstant, but is still sluggish (hunting) with even the best lenses compared toa dedicated video camera. If you're serious about filming with this, it'sprobably best done in manual mode.I also like being able to set up the automatic timer mode on a tripod to shootan image every x time units.For redundancy, you can have the two card slots act as a mirror of one another,both holding identical copies of every file recorded. (A file level RAID-1)Alternatively, you configure the camera to treat the second SD card asadditional storage. (Somewhat similar to a SPAN array but at the file, not theblock, level.)Other than not recording uncompressed video (for which you'll pay a much higherprice) there's nothing I don't like about it. Sure, we could always use alarger image buffer for continuous shooting, but for most work this is notcritical. The additional focus points are nice, but again not critical. Theadded resolution over the D90 was welcome, but same goes for it as well. (TheD90 had sufficient resolution for even very large prints.)

Pros: 1. 16.2 MP image sensor2. weather sealing similar to the D3003. AMAZING ISO range (100-6400) and lack of noise in low light4. FAST burst speeds, up to 6 fps5. 12&14 bit selectable RAW files6. twin SD card slots7. ergonomics identical to D90Cons: 1. still unable to shoot 1080p video at 30 fps2. RAW files not yet recognized by 3rd party software at time of this writing3. still not weight balanced when using larger telephoto zoom lens4. difficult to think of any real consSummary: Being a Nikon D90 user for the last year, I love the combination of ease of use, shooting power and image quality. However over time I quickly grew to learn and appreciate the performance limits (fps shooting, ISO range, 12 bit RAW files only) that are addressed by the more expensive and professional level D300.Imagine to my shock when Nikon announced several months ago a successor to the D90, initially dubbed the D95 then finalized as the D7000. When the spec sheets were announced, my jaw dropped. Basically what we have is a camera that is priced between the pro-am D90 and pro D300 DX crop sensor cameras. While the D7000 clearly and unsurprisingly outclasses the very competent and capable D90 in nearly every respect, from image quality, shooting performance and video capabilities, whats more shocking is how it seems to match or even exceed the specs of the D300s (if youre taking video shooting capabilities into account).I was lucky to pick up a preorder of the 18-105mm kit from a local store (body only was not available yet at the time of this writing) and with excitement I set about opening it up. Packaged very similar to the D90, the camera comes with the 18-105mm VR kit lens in a separate box and instruction manuals/software CD. A nice change is the battery charger which comes with the usual long cable, but also has a short outlet plug that allows the charger to mount directly to the wall, much like most compact P&S camera battery chargers.Onto the camera itself. As I've mentioned before, users of the Nikon D90 should find this new camera very easy to use, as nearly all the buttons, menus and controls are identical. They changed the live view button to a spring loaded switch similar to the D3100 with a button that is used to start/stop video recording. I tested the video at 1080p/24 fps and like the previews state, it does continuous AF during the recording unlike previous Nikon HD video dSLRs, however with the built in mic, the AF is LOUD and you can hear it whirring constantly in the video playback. If you want to shoot some serious video you're better off getting the optional external stereo mic that fits in the hotshoe.Now onto the camera shooting itself. Having the 100% viewfinder coverage is nice, since the 96% coverage on the D90 made for some errors in composition, allowing objects to creep into the edges of my previous shots that I couldn't see due to the incomplete coverage.The new 39 point AF with 11 cross type AF points is amazingly fast, and you can set to single AF so it only does it once before you shoot, or continuous AF so it'll continue to seek out AF points while the shutter is half pressed.Shooting speed is FAST on this camera, at a respectable 6 fps at max speed, although you'll need at least a class 10 SD card to acheive this, and it maybe slightly slowed choosing 14 over 12 bit NEF RAW files. Speaking of which, like the D300, 700 and D3, you can shoot 14 bit RAW files now where the D90 and lower end cameras allowed you to only shoot 12 bit RAW which made for inferior picture quality in the final images.The dual SD card slots are a great feature and the camera gives you multiple options how you want to use these cards, I chose to set mine up as overflow, altho when I start to shoot video I may set up the 2nd card as video only instead.Now my favorite aspect of this camera, is not, contrary to some, the increased 16.2 MP over the 12.6 MP of the D90/300 image sensor, but the amazing ISO range and low light sensitivity. The D90 had a range of 200-3200 but images became pretty unusable above 2400 without serious software PP NR. I did some nighttime and indoor low light test shooting of the D7000 with its 100-6400 range and found images that looks better at 4000 than the D90 did at 2000 ISO. At 5000 or above, the noise does start to become noticable, but this new sensor plus a good image stabilized lens makes for a powerful low light shooter in most situations. I've read subject user reviews from people who own the D300 and FX sensor D700 and say this camera gives the D300 serious pause and in fact, can compare image quality to the D700.Something to think about.Overall this is a fantastic camera for the price and probably the last DX sensor camera I will need for a long time.

When I bought my D7000, the first thing I did was READ THE MANUAL in an attempt to learn about all the bells and whistles the D7000 offers. Since owners' manuals typically do a less-than-satisfactory job of explaining things, I also opted to buy a well-thought-out book complete with photos that show exactly what's being explained: "David Busch's Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography." It's a very helpful book.There's so much to the D7000 that it's easy to think it's malfunctioning when the problem is really something else...possibly something as small as having programmed it so that it doesn't fire unless it's completely in focus. I personally LOVE this feature and intentionally set it this way. Others, however, may not realize that this feature even exists, or may have forgotten that they set it to operate this way. Thus, they press the shutter and...nothing happens. RATS! Missed the shot! This is not a camera malfunction; it's an operator error.The D7000 takes great pics in all situations and has helpful features like exposure compensation; several metering options; depth-of-field preview; bulb setting (for long exposures); exposure, flash, white balance, and ADL bracketing; incredible choice of ISO sensitivity (use with care; high ISO levels can cause "noise" and less-than-perfect coloring), diopter adjustment (aids less-than-perfect vision through the viewfinder), and so forth...WAY too many to mention here.I love the double card slots that can be programmed for various uses. And of course, the D7000 captures in NEF (RAW), JPEG (with choice of quality), and RAW + JPEG simultaneously.With the D7000's countless other features, it will probably be quite some time before you have mastered this camera, so just relax and enjoy as you practice perfecting your skills.The D7000 is an excellent choice for the photo enthusiast/semi-pro and there are pros who use it...it's that good. Can you get a better camera? Sure! You can buy a Daguerreotype Giroux for about $980,000 or more. But why do that when, chances are, the D7000 is MORE than enough to suit your needs.BOTTOM LINE: I highly recommend the D7000. But whichever you choose to buy, LEARN THE CAMERA. Learn its various settings and what happens when you program it a certain way. And BE SURE TO BUY GOOD QUALITY LENSES! They are your BEST investment.Check YouTube's how-to videos; buy books like "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson and "The Photographer's Eye" by Michael Freeman. LEARN! LEARN! LEARN! Who knows? You could end up selling your photos! Happy shooting!

Chances are that if you are even considering this camera, it is as an upgrade. There are now countless comparisons in the photo magazines and on the web that you can use to check out how it compares in features, so there's little merit in repeating them here. It's certainly an "enthusiast" spec so for a starter camera it is probably more than you will need to pay. Camera manufacturers don't make it easy as each are backing slightly different technology horses - and at the end of the day (which coincidently is a time when this camera is particularly good due to it's ability to handle low light with remarkably little noise) it's a matter of personal preference which manufacturer you favour. I find Nikons fit better in the hand than Canon or Pentax cameras - so head to your camera petting zoo to see which one fits best for you. I also find the controls more intuitive with the two wheel system. I also prefer Nikon's colour performance particularly compared with Canon's more saturated colour rendition, but since you will probably use some PC processing, this is not a deal breaker. If you believe the mark of quality is in resolution, you can get more Mps with a Canon 550d- but at 16.2 Mp this is more than adequate for the amateur and prints at least A3 sized with no problem or loss of clarity. And the quality is down as much to the quality of processor as to the number of pixels per se. If you have a heap of Canon (or other) lenses though, then it's probably not great enough to warrant the cost of changing horses in midstream as Nikon lenses house the autofocus on the lenses rather than in the body as Canon does.If you are coming at it afresh though, you are really looking at this against the Canon EOS 60D or the Pentax K-5 (although you can argue until the cows come home which the competitors really are. It's an upgrade on the Nikon D90 as well and certainly on any lower Nikons, and price wise, the Canon 550d might be in the same bracket).Where the D7000 is arguably weaker is in the fact that the rear screen is fixed while many competitors allow angled versions. If you are planning on life as a Paparazzo, then this may be an issue but for me this tends to be more useful for movie filming. Which brings me to a second slight weakness - while the HD video is excellent on the D7000 my unit had a few dead pixels (only apparent in video) but there is now a Firmware update that has reduced this, not totally, but certainly to more than acceptable levels on my unit. But I don't film video that often so this isn't a concern. I've also tended to prefer the shutter release firmness on Nikons, and here it is OK but a bit mushier (technical term that!) than on the D90 for example.In almost every other respect, this is a cracking camera. I love the duel card system that lets you save stills and video to different cards, or acts as a simple additional storage or for me, the best option allows you to save as both RAW and jpeg versions (incidentally, Adobe has now added D7000's RAW to it's list - but you will have to download that separately to even the latest Photoshop versions).The D7000 offers up to 39 AF points - which really is superb in this price bracket and which helps to generate superb image quality. The camera's low light performance is superb; even at ISO 12 800 it's just about acceptable. The build quality is fantastic and, while it tends to concentrate on doing the basics well, it has some nice features like low noise shutter options. The burst rate of 6fps is also pretty decent.It's a cracking bit of kit and more similar to Nikon's semi-pro D300S than the lower ranges but at an enthusiast price band (albeit that as a new product the pricing is still a bit toppish but will undoubtedly come down in time ...... if you can resist that long though). But for all it's cleverness, you can pretty much operate it out of the box as a very over-priced point an shoot, if that's what you want to do (but why would you?)It's not faultless (as explained) but it's certainly an excellent choice and you are unlikely to be disappointed. Is it good enough to swop bodies from a competitor? Well, that depends on how much kit you have invested in, but as a Nikon upgrade, it's a no-brainer. It's a joy to use and you'll love it - then when you process your pictures, you will smile smuggly to yourself at your choice all over again.Also, the kit lens (which are always pretty ropey) is surprisingly decent here too.

All of the reviews I read on the D7000 before I purchased my camera were spectacular. The camera, itself, has some wonderful features. Having the second slot for overflow or RAW/JPEG usage is a bonus. The new dial puts frequently used settings at your fingertips that used to require going into the menu. Being able to save settings for either two people using the camera, or, in my case, personal preferences used in different situations is a slick idea. Those Nikon people were thinking when they designed this camera body. However, when I received my D7000, I was disappointed in a few things. First of all, I shoot in RAW and the first thing I needed to do was upgrade my Photoshop. The Camera RAW from CS3 would not open the files from the D7000. Then, I found that my 3 year old MAC would not allow me to upgrade to CS6 without a system upgrade from Leopard. Fine. I suppose we all need to keep current. But the real disappointment was after doing all of this, I reviewed my images from the D7000, and found they were very noisy. This camera was priding itself on being of superior quality at high ISO's, but anything 400 ISO and above had too much noise. I've seen better quality coming from phone cameras. I found the quality in my older D90 was better at the same ISO. So, after many back and forth emails from NIKON's tech support, trying to figure out if there was possibly a setting that was wrong, and getting nowhere, I finally called and talked to a real person. He decided, after reviewing my images, that the camera was defective. Now, I have passed my 30 day return policy with Amazon because I wasted time trying to fix this by email, but (and this is why I LOVE Amazon.com) they made a one time exception after hearing my story, and they sent me a replacement camera. I was thrilled. But the replacement camera is not much better. There is still too much noise, and I'm finding that the sharpness is not there like I had with my D90. I tested photographing the same subject, same settings, same lens, and found a sharper image came from the D90. If I had it to do over again, I would not buy the D7000.

My first DSLR was a D80 I purchased four years ago. The shutter went out a few weeks back but I had been planning to upgrade to the D7000 anyway so this just hurried things up. I bought the D7000 kit with the 18-105 lens but quickly sold that on Ebay. I was shooting with a Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens on the D80. For low light, it worked pretty well but greater than half the time I needed to use my SB-600 flash to capture my young kids doing what they do (move). The only downside to the Tamron, or combination of the Tamron with the D80, was that the images tended to be soft, especially when opened up. So I also upgraded my lens to the Nikkor 16-85. While this is a variable lens that maxes out at 3.5, it is amazingly sharp combined with the D7000. And the extra reach is great for getting better shots and also providing relatively shallow depth of field that otherwise would be lost with the slower aperture.The reason I mention the lens change is that I wouldn't have gone to a variable lens had it not been for the amazing ISO performance on the D7000. I am now shooting flashless at very fast shutter speeds. I usually shoot raw and process with Lightroom and I'm seeing amazing results at 800 ISO even when fully blown up (1:1). At ISO 1600, I can see minor noise but Lightroom 3's noise reduction easily eliminates it. 3200 certainly isn't noiseless but again, Lightroom can clean it up very well in most situations. My old D80 had more noise at 400 than the D7000 has at 1600; I'd say 800 on it was equivalent to 3200 on the D7000. I could see printing 1600 shots at smaller sizes with no need for software cleanup. So while my results are preliminary (3 weeks in), I am astonished at the ISO capabilities of this camera. I no longer have d700 envy and am glad I can get great dx lenses for under $700 as opposed to $1500 for fx. Perfect for enthusiasts like me!You've seen the stat that the D7000 can shoot 6 shots per second. The 6FPS shutter is in some ways overkill. But if you shoot HDR/Bracket shots in quick succession having such a rapid shutter can allow you to do so handheld in a pinch. This is really only possible because of the high ISO capabilities enabling very fast shutter times. And for sporting events and the like, it's nice to have the ability to rapidly fire off shots.I have also noticed considerably improved metering and white balance on the D7000 compared to my old D80. Of the 350 or so shots I've taken, I am spending much less time adjusting lighting and white balance in Lightroom.As others have mentioned, the ergonomics/design of the camera are quite good and I really enjoy the many direct access shortcuts for adjusting everything from focus to flash to white balance and much more. The two custom settings are very easy to set and perfect for your two most common profiles (e.g. indoor portrait and outdoor landscape). The screen is beautiful and moving in and around even RAW files is very smooth and fast. I went with two 16GB SD class 10 Transcend cards and while I'm currently using the RAW 1 / JPEG 2 option, I plan to use the second as a backup card once I go to RAW only.I've only toyed with the video function but that was a part of my consideration since I dislike carrying two cameras, plus chargers and media, on family vacations. The tests I've done in 1080P have been very impressive, albeit large as you would expect. Auto-focusing while video recording is okay, as long as the background isn't too noisy or subjects too many. The biggest downside I have experienced is the built-in microphone picks up lots of auto focusing noise. I have not yet invested in an external mic but probably will need to.All in all I am very pleased with the D7000 and see no major shortcomings. It's not cheap, but you get a lot for your money if you are in the market for a prosumer class DSLR. For users who won't explore and use the MANY options and capabilities of this camera, I would recommend considering the 3100/5100. For D80/90 users who are ready to step up big time in terms of performance, this is the upgrade you have been waiting for. Some will hold out for a D700 successor (D800 or whatever it ends up being called). I have no doubt it will be an amazing camera but cost wise, you're going to be looking at $2500+ for the body alone and pay roughly double for coverage equivalent lenses. So figure $4K just to get started. Too rich for my non-professional needs but certainly should be considered if your work or wants dictate that level of camera. And there maybe be a D300s replacement in the works too. Still, I'd urge anyone to consider the D7000, which in my opinion is the best cropped sensor DSLR to date.

I'm so bummed. I've had the camera for 27 months and until today liked the photos when they were in focus. I turns out that the poor focus on some pictures I'd been blaming on myself turned out to be a well known problem called back focusing. Just when I was about to take the time to laboriously reset the focus, the camera puked oil onto it's sensor today. Turns out that has been a problem too. Boy am I mad.I figured I'd have the sensor cleaned and sell it and buy a d600. Guess what? The d600 also has oil on the sensor problems. I'm so done with Nikon and their super crappy QC.UPDATE: After the camera spontaneously splattered oil onto it's sensor (It was oil not dust, and I hadn't recently changed the lens) so badly that I could see it in the preview screen, I sent it back to Nikon with a note explaining the problem. I also described the SCORES or similar problems with the spots in the same place. I even mentioned an occasional instance of Nikon doing the right thing and REPAIRING the camera's shutter box to fix the problem even on cameras out of warranty.Nikon REFUSED to even clean the sensor at no charge saying that it's out of warranty and that's the end of it. I'm SOOOOOOO angry after 25 years of Nikon ownership to have this attitude from Nikon. Dust is one thing, but oil splattered from the mechanical workings of the shutter is another. Do not buy this camera unless you don't mind cleaning oil off the sensor your self.Don't be put off by Nikon fanboys who say that "dirt is normal, just deal with it".Down to one star.

This camera has served me well, No problems with the it's performance at all. Nikon has since released the D7001 as a replacement. But I sticking with this one for now. Next camera will be a full frame. Although it has video capabilities I haven't use that function very much. It is a well made camera that has been great for me. A Step up from my D80.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have had this camera for a while, and it was the natural upgrade to my baby dslr - the nikon d60. This camera has been solid and continues to deliver some of my best work. Definitely one of the best Mid range dslr's out there. Though I got it close to its release date, the camera for me continues to perform and I have not serviced it even once yet!

I had a D5100 and exchanged it for the D7000, which was back focusing, making many images (especially those at close range) soft. If the D7000 focused precisely out of the box, as it's supposed to, I would have kept it, since I liked all of the other features it has. All of my photos from the D5100 were sharp using the same lenses, so the lenses weren't the problem. I tried AF fine tuning and it helped a little, but not enough, even after reaching the maximum adjustment factor. A camera at this price level should have better quality control. Sure there are manufacturing tolerances, but they should be able to get the most critical assemblies close enough so the camera at least focuses properly, rather than hoping that customers won't notice or requiring them to spend hours fine tuning the AF, sometimes to no avail. It seems like getting a good D7000 depends quite a bit on luck. I've yet to decide if I'll try another D7000 or if I'll just go back to a D5100.The D7000 also overexposes in bright/high contrast situations when using matrix metering, causing highlights to be clipped and detail to be lost. Some say that this is just the advanced metering system working as intended. Perhaps, but it requires the user to use negative exposure compensation whenever a shot like this is taken (or to program it into one of the "U" settings). You don't always have time to do this when a a good photo op comes around. IMHO, this is a significant flaw that should be corrected via a firmware update.BTW, some have stated that the D7000 has better IQ than the D5100. All reviews I've read state that they are exactly the same in IQ, or that the diff is so small that it's negligible. This is consistent with my experience. In certain situations, like sports and low-light fast motion shots, the D7000's better AF and metering might help produce better photos, but for everything else, they're pretty much the same.UPDATE: I decided to give the D7000 another chance and ordered a second one. Same backfocusing problem. This time, adjusting the AF fine tuning by a factor of -4 for all of my lenses results in sharp focus, but using AF fine tuning isn't an ideal solution, since it causes the camera to not focus properly at infinity or at minimum focusing distance. Depending on the degree of AF tuning required, this could then require the user to manually adjust the focus ring after the AF has "reached its limit" (the limit which has changed due to the use of AF fine tuning). Another unnecessary hassle you need to remember to take care of. The AF fine tuning feature is nice to have, but its purpose is to dial-in lenses that are a bit off due to manufacturing tolerance. I don't think it was intended to adjust a faulty body to work with lenses that are in spec, but that's the way it's often being used.For anyone who buys a D7000, I'd recommend doing a focus test as soon as you get it, to ensure that you're getting the IQ you paid for. The best way to do this is with a focus test chart, but a quick and dirty method is to tape a page of text on the wall (make sure it's totally flat against the wall). Then, mount your camera on a tripod perpindicular to the wall, with lens (set at the largest aperture) at the same height as the page. Take a shot or two using autofocus through the viewfinder. Use the remote or self timer, with mirror lockup. Then take some shots using live view. If the AF photos are not as sharp as the LV shots (or at least very close to them in sharpness), your AF is off (most likely back focusing).

Recently I bought a Nikon D7000 for Nikon's name and returned it for its bad quality.Before last Thanksgiving my friend helped me to order a Nikon D7000 with 18-200mm zoom from Costco. We had good price - $1699.99 ($2049.99 - $350 rebate) from Costco.At first I loved it and I even bought a Nikkor 10-24mm, filters and remote control for it. The camera is less three months old and only took 115 pictures. And I found problem about this D7000.According to D7000 manual, after a full charge it can take 1050 photoes (Nikon's standard is much higher - 4500 photoes each charge). But In my D7000's first run it only took 115 photoes after the initial full charge. Battery meter said the battery's age is 0 (means barrery is brand new) and battery meter is only 1% with 115 pictures taken . This is a brand new D7000 with brand new battery, the battery life is only 10% of D7000 manual specified. I do not know this is a camera's problem or a battery's problem.In order to solve this problem. I searched manual and could not find a phone number. Late I found a 800 number from web and called, the service person could not advise what I should do - seems he do not know D7000 at all. I posted questions in Nikon's web site but they send me a mail talking about somethings else - seems they even have not read my questions at all. I updated my question several times but no further response.Today (Feb 13, 2012) is the last day I can return my D7000 in Costco, so I went to Costco. At first I just wanted to exchange the questionable D7000 but they told me I cannot exchange it. Then the service gay said Costco could return me a full price of $2049.99 that makes I can buy a same camera with today's market price. Late Costco guys took their words back (so bad for Costco because they can eat their word just in a few minutes ) and only agree to return me $1699,99- that is not enough to buy another D7000 with lens today. Because today is last day I can return, I asked if Costco can extend the return period for a few days that makes me can call Nikon again. Costco guy did not agree to give me a few more days. So I returned this bad Nikon D7000 with lens immediately. Next I need to returm my Nikkor 10-24mm lens and filter because it is uselee without D7000.NIkon is a well known company. I do not know why they allow this kind of expensive camera to go to market with problem and do not provide good customer service. Or Nikon do know the Nikon D7000 sold in Costco has quality problem so Nikon gave $350 rebate to lure customers to order. Or Nikon' Thaland factory does not has ISO qualily control system.By the way this camera and lens are made in Thaland. And I have a 18-105mm lens made in Thaland which coating is very bad. Does Nikon Thaland provides qualfied products?

I ended up buying a slightly used but almost new one on e-Bay because they were not available at Amazon at the time and since I live abroad I saved quite a bit on duty on a used item vs a new one. In any case it is a very very nice camera with more features than I know how to use. My previous camera was a D70 so it was a bit of an upgrade. If you are just going to buy a couple of modern zooms such as the 18-200mm VR or the 18-105mm VR or only lenses with built in focus motors then I would buy the D5100. But if you are an old guy like me who is used to film cameras then the D7000 is really great with the older manual focus lenses. I have a nice Vivitar series one zoom (version 3 by Komine) and it works very well with the D7000. I also have the Nikon 16-85mm VR and the Nikon 70-300mm VR but I think aside from these two I will use older AIS lenses since they are available for very reasonable prices. I don't really mind manual focus vs AF but I do like VR since when you are older you can't hold the camera as still as you would like and you miss too many shots if you have to set up a tripod. All of Nikon's dslr's take nice pictures but if you want the maximum selection of lenses then buy the D7000. The D7000 also has many features that I still need to learn about since I have only had the camera about a month. I used to have a Nikon 18-105mmVR that was stolen along with my D70. In spite of it's plastic mount which many people don't like, but it took very nice pictures. I am a big fan of modern digital cameras but I don't like the point and shoot cameras. If my budget was very limited I would buy a good used D40 and the 18-105mm VR which would take way better pictures than any point and shoot. In any case I was very surprised how well the D7000 works with older AIS lenses which is something not mentioned too much in the other reviews. This is something to seriously consider when deciding whether or not to buy the D7000. I also considered an FX camera but with an FX camera you start spending too much money for just a hobby and the D7000 takes very nice pictures that will make the great majority of users very happy. Also the high ISO of the D7000 makes up for not having an FX to a great extent. The only thing the D7000 lacks is built in VR which would be a useful feature as many lenses don't have it. Built in VR is the one thing that might tempt me to upgrade from the D7000. Update: I've been looking at the reviews of the new Pentax K5. It seems to have the same ISO performance of the D7000. By having a built in anti-shake mechanism you can save quite a bit on lenses with the K5. For example the Nikon 70-210mm F2.8 VR costs more than the K5 and the Tamron 80-200 F2.8 put together. If the D7000 had built-in VR you could save well over a thousand dollars on one lens alone. I guess Nikon wants to make money selling VR lenses.

Be aware that there is a big question mark on Nikon's quality control on the production of this specific model the Nikon D7000. I've seen a lot of people complaining from a variety of manufacturing defects in this camera, ranging from hot pixels to a softness due to focus issues.I went to a store and I tried a display model of the camera. I was impressed about the quality of pictures taken at ISO 4000! I was speechless seeing very sharp and vivid pictures produced at that high ISO which is like a day and night compared to my aging D80. I was sold and asked the sales man to bring me a body only. I assumed that the new camera he was selling me will function the same, I was wrong!After getting home, I started taking pictures with my new D7000, then this feeling of dissatisfaction and unhappiness started to develop inside me. A closer examine of the pictures showed a halo around dark objects and softness in the picture and most of the time, the camera was unable to even focus on the target and it was still taking pictures. I tried everything possible with this camera, I tried fine tuning the lens with no use, I updated the firmware to the latest but without any improvements. Last nail in the coffin was to directly compare this camera ISO performance and sharpness against my D80!!the rules were like this:Nikkor 50mm 1.8DManual shooting was selected, ISO 2000 and 1.8 was the lens openness.1- D80 in those conditions was able to take optimum image at lens speed of 1/30 of a sec. which is fare compared to the camera old model and conditions of light. Noise was acceptable and color reproduction was terrible. Which is really the limitation of the D80.2- D7000 in the same conditions was only able to take the picture at a lens speed of 1/20 of a sec!!!! which is even slower than my aging D80. Noise levels were as high as of my D80 and Sharpness was lacking. The image was soft and even my D80 was able to take sharper images at lower resolution.I took the camera back to store and after they tested it for few seconds, they were agreeing with me that the camera I bought was defected. I was refunded with store credits and i'm saving them for the D800.The D7000 is very good camera when it's not defected. The Images taken were really really sharp at even ISO 4000. I liked that and I liked the vivid pictures that this camera is able to take at high ISO. Also I liked the out of focus background taken buy this camera, it's not going to give you the same bokeh you get from a full frame sensor but still that out of focus background was much better than what my D80 can do.I don't recommend buying this product online. If you're intending to buy this model, buy it from a store and try the camera you're buying to check against known issues. You'll be saving yourself a lot of time and frustration.

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

Bought this for my husband for Christmas last year and he loved the product. Around Thanksgiving of this year the lens wouldn't focus. Just took it to a camera shop and they said the problem is with the lens and we had to spend 400.00 on a new one. We were told sometimes the electronics just stop working from time to time. We are two weeks past the warranty.

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

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

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

Now that the price has gone down to about $900 for the body, I can heartily say this camera is worth the money. I purchased this camera a year ago and paid the full $1,200 and I'm happy with it, but with the recent price cut, don't think twice about picking this up if you are considering it.Yes, the image quality will be much the same as the D3000 and D5000 series, but the D7000 is infinitely more satisfying to use. It handles better, it has 100% viewfinder coverage, a larger viewfinder magnification, easy access to necessary functions (ISO, White Balance, Image Quality, Metering Mode, Drive Mode, etc), customizable settings, a second command dial, a top lcd, a better build quality, and the list goes on and on. If you appreciate any of this stuff, then don't even consider the other models. If you don't care about any of these things, then yes, you will get just as terrific images from the cheaper models. All you are paying extra for is handling and operation. For me, it is worth it.Both the 18-105 and the 18-200 are terrific lenses. The 18-200 is significantly heavier, although not much bigger, but having the extra reach is nice. Better yet is the 35mm 1.8 DX lens. Yes, it is a fixed lens (no zoom) but it is a total rock star on this camera. I personally loath carrying a heavy zoom unless I have to. I much prefer a smaller prime lens, and this camera feels awesome in your hand with a prime mounted on it.My camera does have the back focus issue, but the good news is that you can adjust for it in the AF fine tune menu in about 5 seconds. Set it and forget it. Yeah, a bit of a blunder on Nikon's part, but the fix is incredibly simple.Happy shooting.

Love this camera! I upgraded from a Nikon D70s and the sum of little features and improvements add up to a big difference. The ability to get info from the control panel on the large monitor is very helpful in low-light situations. Putting the release mode (single shot, multiple exposures) on a separate dial is so much easier than going through the menu. The big monitor is clear and sharp. All my old Nikon lenses work fine. It just feels good in your hands. I think this is the ideal camera for an experienced amateur or a serious hobbyist.

I've been using a D90 for almost 3 years and just upgraded to the D7000. There are a couple of negatives I noticed right away. On the D90 in single point focus mode I could look at the top LCD display and see which one of the 11 sensors I was using. Then if I wanted to change it I could do so with out ever having to raise the camera up. On the D7000 the top LCD does not show this information, and you have to look at the rear display mode to find out. Another change I'm not happy about is the ISO-Auto feature, (this is not the same as Auto ISO). On the D90 I could add "ISO Senitivity" to "My Menu" and I had complete contol over the menu including the ISO-Auto feature. This is really handy when taking pictures at a show and the lighting is changing every second. On the D7000 I added ISO Sensitivity to "My Menu" but now I can only turn ISO-Auto on or off. On the D90 I could adjust the minimum and maxium ISO and shutter speeds, on the D7000 I can NOT. This is a major pain, b/c now I have to hunt down the menu item everytime I change lenses to adjust the minimum shutter speed. For professionals this might not be a big deal, they just switch cameras, but for the enthusized this camera is aimed at, it's a pain. Something else I noticed was that on the D90 I could change the recording folder name, but on the D7000 I can only change the folder number. For instance, on the D90 I could make a folder that said SHOW, GRAD, GTOR, etc, then when I went home I would know what pictures are in that folder. On the D7000 all I can do is change the folder from 100D7000 to 101D7000, 102D7000, 103D7000 etc. I'm sorry but 102D7000 doesn't tell me anything about what's in that folder. This might not be the correct place for it but the optional battery grip is also not as good as the D90's. On the D90 two batteries where in the grip and no batteries were in the actual camera itself. On the D7000's grip there is only one battery. On the D90 I could kill a battery, pop it out and put in a new one. This made it easy to rotate thru my batteries, now in order to remove the camera battery I have to completely remove the grip. I'm worried that one day I'll kill my grips battery and the camera battery will be dead too, b/c I was in a hurry and didn't have time to change it.There are not a lot of real positives that I see over the D90. True it has a 16MP sensor, 39 point autofocus system, expanded ISO range and a faster frame rate. Not to mention improved video capabilities, but I didn't buy this camera to shoot movies. These features aren't really that impressive. If my D90 hadn't died in a freak 6 year old accident (my son tried to take pictures of his goldfish up close and personal) I wouldn't have bought this camera. Don't get me wrong, it's a great camera and I'm sure I'll grow to love it in time, but if you already have a D90, I would hold on to it for now. Besides in about one year from now Nikon will probably be releasing an updated version(D7100??).

I Love my Nikon D7000, I needed a replacement for my D80. Its the most camera I could buy and I am happy withy it. It is fast, but it all depends on the lens in lower lighting. I definitely recommend it!

I found after using two of these for about 1.5 years, that the AF was about 80% good if you have decent technique.Oddly enough, it was with wider angle lenses that it was least accurate/consistent.

Let me start by saying that I am not a professional photographer. However I do have a good eye for clear pictures and colors. My friends and I have been Nikon users for past few years using D50, D200, and D70. Two of my friends bought D700 this summer and the results just blew me away and now I wanted one too. After spending countless hours on the internet and comparing sample pictures and reading reviews of D7000 and D700, I decided to give D7000 a chance and picked up the kit (just the body was not available) from a local Ritzcamera during the Thanksgiving weekend.So the Sunday of the tgiving weekend, my friend with D700 and I with my D7000 compared our two cameras side by side with same settings (apperture, WB, shutter, ISO, Fine quality, medium size, and other settings) and distance and took pics of a subject (a golden metal peacock with blue and green stones) to compare the results. We used a 35mm 1.8G on D7000 and a 50mm 1.4D lens on D700.The result - the pics on the "camera screen" for D7000 actually looked better than D700 "camera screen". On the D7000 screen the pics looked darker, sharper, and more clean. However, when we transferred the pics on the laptop then the D700 pics looked better. We compared pics on multiple ISO's from 1000 to 64000 and even H1. Each time we made sure the settings were identical. We compared pics at 100% size and D700 pics showed less noise at every ISO and were brighter and more natural in color. All the pics taken with ISO 6400 or higher were much better on D700. We took some face pics and D700 showed more details like skin pores and lip details whereas on D7000 the skin pores and lip details at 100% were not that great..kinda pixels breaking out. Even on the peacock the beak of the peacock was more clearly defined on D700 than the D7000. One thing we noticed that the golden, blue, and green shades on D700 were more vivid and were standing out more. Vice on D7000, the colors were there but didn't highlight as much. After playing with Irfanview software, I edited the saturation on D7000 pic and now the pic had more vividness than D7000. In a nutshell, I had to play with a software to bring more life to the pic.We also tested using the 'auto correct' (or something like that) feature on Irfanview software to see which pics from either of the two cameras require more editing. The result was that D700 required very little to none auto adjustment, whereas, the software corrected/edited almost all the D7000 pics.I am not sure if the larger CMOS sensor on D700 is the only thing that is making a big a difference in picture quality over D7000 or if Nikon hasn't declared any other details. Spec wise D7000 beats D700 on every other detail and D700 technology is 3years old so how come D700 is still delivering better pics than D7000? Is it just the sensor?All in all D700 is a better camera than D7000. But if you don't compare the two then D7000 is not bad. In my situation I have compared the two side by side so I know that I can get better quality pics with D700. So now I am going to return the D7000 and buy D700.The price difference is quiet a bit so for the price the D7000 is not bad, but if you can afford the difference then don't even think about D7000 and go for D700. But if you have a tight budget D7000 will make you happy too.The camera does feel solid, light, and overall great build quality. The menu options are almost identical to D700. Two card slots is a good thing, but really, how often does one run out of memory if you have a decent size card.The video quality at 1080 is great but you would need an external mic since the camera picks up the churning sound coming from the lens while it's trying to focus as you're making the video and it's quiet noticeable. The video feature does not replace the camcorder by any means. If you make long videos, you'll need a camcorder. This feature is rather useful in case where you don't have your camcorder with you and you need to make a quick short video. Also the autofocus feature sucks as it keeps on focusing in and out the moving subjects or as you move the camera.Hope this helps.

I love this camera. Haven't got a single problem. It is for those who want to move a level up from amateur photography. I had D5100 before this and used it for some 5 months but then I lost it. :( and got this one.

Used, but in great condition! I heard very good things about this camera and I have a lot to learn, but I'm looking forward to learning it on the D7000. The charger I received didn't work, but the seller sent me a new one in a matter of days. I'm satisfied!
