So I am a typical family photographer.... I have had a D40 x for a long while and have been happily add lenses to my arsenal for the last few years. I worked with physical film photography in high school and college so my eventual transition into dSLR was a little easier than those coming from say a Polaroid experience. But I don't intend nor am I a professional. That being said, I can see how this camera cow,d easily be marketed to one. There are a million buttons and menus and dials and knobs that are quite intimidating. So I am writing to say, this camera can be used by a pro but offers excellent options for someone who will leave it on Auto Mode for the majority if the time.Highlights I have learned about since I got mine yesterday.-Bracketing. This feature let's you take a series of 2 to 3 shots quickly while the computer resets your lighting settings to be slightly more exposed and slightly less composed that what it thinks is perfect. Nice!-There is a physical knob that can be adjusted to set the camera for single, continuous shooting, remote or timer shooting. I hated going into the menu to do this.-Scene modes are now In a menu rather than on the dial. I'm okay with this. They added many many more scene settings so moving it "Indoors" seems logical.-while a little bigger, the camera does seem much heavier than my D40.-white balance is offering better descriptions of variations offered (vice the + or - numbers previously used) if not flat out more options there-very easy method, via a small button, to watch not through the viewfinder but on the back screen.-video was astoundingly good... was very sorry my first video was of my office chair... totally not postable. There is a mic and it looks like there is an input for an external mic. HDMI Jack outlet too on the body.I'm sure there are a million more things to talk about. Ultimately, my point is that the many new buttons and such seem very logical and impressive. For the average family photographer, they offer great features. Considering that my spouse paid about this much for my d40x back in the day (+-200$ I suspect) this camera is absolutely worth the pennies.

Short and sweet, I've owned four Nikon DSLRs, the D70, D80, D90 and a D200 and now the D7000, this camera helps me make outstanding pictures, better than any other camera I've owned. I am astounded with the low light, high ISO capability, this camera works so hard for you in the most difficult conditions to make great shots. On one of my first outings with this camera, I had it set at 6400 ISO and didn't realize it and was out all day shooting... the pictures were spectacular, even when you aren't thinking of your shot, this camera will compensate for you.The image sensor is amazing, the response of the shutter button like lightening, the auto-focus system is mystically accurate ... there is little to complain about with this camera.If you are thinking about a replacement DSLR or upgrading, this is the top of the line pro-sumer camera, the next best rig is the D700, at more than twice the price.One more feature that I bought this camera for is it's video capability. It is a big improvement over the D90 and others. The D7000 will shoot in auto-focusing HD and in stereo ... very nice quality for the average user... I've videod weddings with it and am quite pleased with the results, but don't take my word for it, here's my YouTube link:[...]I have 50,000 hits, all thumbs up, so it's not just my opinion, people love the results.You will be very pleased with this camera, buy it!!! Life is short...

I knew my D200 bodies (and shared D300) were history as soon as I read the spec sheet on this one. While the resolution increase isn't huge, it will give you more room for cropping later and making slightly larger prints. But the features that sold me were the high ISO performance, 14bit raw captures and dual card slots (even if they're SD).The high ISO performance has not disappointed. 1600 ISO doesn't look a lot noisier than 400 ISO on the D200. And true to their promise, shots at 6400 ISO are usable, so long as you don't get carried away in the size of your prints or display.Likewise, the 6 fps frame rate seems pretty well on target in real world shooting. There are faster cameras in Nikon's stable, but none come to mind at this price point.The dual card slots are great, even if they have me selling off my compact flash cards. I purchased two 16GB class 10 cards by Transcend here on Amazon: they appear to be up to both shooting stills and HD video. The camera allows you to set up the cards for overflow, backup or separate by file type. Very nice.This camera is much closer to the D90 than the D300 in terms of size and configuration - I'll be ordering the battery grip to beef it up a bit - I've got good size hands and it feels a little dinky, despite the metal frame.If I had FX (full frame) Nikon glass, or was shooting a D300S, I'm not sure the purchase would have been worth it. But despite where Nikon positioned it in their lineup, this is an upgrade to any other DX body including the D300S in some ways, and is a bargain at it's current price of $1,200, in my opinion.While it's handy to be able to shoot video, and the full-time focus seems to work well, the focus motor from your camera/lens will make a lot of noise unless you're using a remote microphone. My much cheaper video camera will still get the call if I'm specifically shooting video.

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

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

I bought this camera a few months ago as an upgrade to my D90. I haven't had any issues at all with mine and like it a lot. If you're a Nikon shooter and want to shoot DX format, this camera is the best option in my opinion. I prefer the smaller body size since I'm a woman, but with a grip, it should feel more comfortable for those with larger hands. Overall, I would recommend this camera to anyone.

I have had this camera now for four months, 30,000 images, trips to Alaska and California. I feel this is Nikon's best DX camera and Nikon's best camera for the money. My D3X is much less often used. I really like the images from the D7000 and I like the way it handles. Two problems: the mode switch turns too easily, can be inadvertently rotated - check it often! The buffer is small. I shoot only raw images and the buffer holds about 10 images. A fast SDHC card mitigates this issue.I highly recommend this camera.

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

This is my second Nikon DSLR and my 3rd Nikon overall(I started on a Nikon film SLR) and I love it. One of the main reasons I got this one was because of the video feature(I am an amateur filmmaker) and it does not disappoint! Far better than any of the prosumer video cameras in this price range I have used quality is fantastic.As far as pictures, I am still putting the camera through it's paces, but so far it has not disappointed in that area either, the clarity and color are wonderful so far. The autofocus is quick in most lighting conditions(worthless when shooting video though). The shutter is quiet as well. Now, addressing the title of the review: I added the if you can use it because a lot of the more negative reviews tend to reference downfalls that only occur when using one of the auto or program modes. If you are an aspiring pro, or even hobbyist really, you should rarely, if ever, use a scene or program mode. There's a reason this camera has almost twice as many buttons/knobs/what-have-you than the D5000: you are meant to use them!In conclusion, this is a great camera for those looking to step up from an entry level DSLR or for one who is looking to come from film but you're not willing to drop $2k on a more expensive camera. If you're wanted to compare it to a D300s or D700, you should stop, because as far as photos, it will not compare at all. I definitely recommend this camera to anyone who may be teetering between this and another in it's range.

This is my first DSLR. I have Nikon system since 1980s. I have no other choice but to buy a Nikon DLSR unless I have to replace my whole system, which is too costly for me now. With years of experience in photography, I rate this camera a 3 star. Nikon is slow in DLSR technology and very stingy in offering to its users.The camera is feature rich, which does not require me to say. However, it gave me frustrations at basic levels for photography. Personally, its new 39 point focus system is with major flaws. It cannot focus when I try to take pictures at my nephews birthday party. The light condition was NOT bad. The lens was 28-70 f2.8 AFS. The auto focus setting was 39 points Auto-A. I tried to use manual focus override but the two focus indicator arrow kept blinking and the in focus circle never came up. No focus point was highlighted. The camera locked up. I had switch the camera off and on. The problem repeated several times while I was taking pictures at the party. The same lens was used on this D7000 to take 500 pictures before this happened. And it never happened again with the same lens and camera for the next 500 pictures. It was this particular scene where the camera failed on me. If you read reviews from dpreview.com and popular photography etc., you will find its picture quality is OK but no upto the competitions at this price level. Poor video shooting.There is only minimun improvement on resolution compared to D90, while its color accuracy and noise level are worse. The new focus system is a joke, making no improvement over D90, speed and accuracy. Nikon knowsIf you ask my advice, my answer is: if you have to buy a Nikon, then swallow it; If you start new or have money to start a new system, do not buy Nikon. You can get much better value somewhere else.

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

I have been using Nikon and Canon DSLR's for a while now.I've had Nikon's D40, D60, D5000, D90 to the Canon T1i, T2i and 60D.The Nikon D7000 is the best camera I have ever had, by FAR.There is nothing NOT to like about this camera. I mean it does it all, and REAL well.I've always been more of a Nikon guy myself, but about 2 weeks ago I went and bought the famous Canon 7D. It was a nice camera but there was just something about it (hard to explain) that didn't feel right to me and I just wasn't loving it all that much. Yes it is a nice-built, sturdy camera with 18MP and this and that, and it felt real nice in your hands but the images weren't looking how I wanted them to.I returned it, I bought the Nikon D7000 and I was blown away. This camera, "pound for pound", accounting what you get for the price, is the bessttttt DSLR camera out today.If you are reading reviews and thinking about getting this camera...stop reading, and buy it....NOW.

I purchased the D7000 with the starter zoom plus a 28 to 300 mm before Christmas during a heavy promotional period at already reduced price, at USD 300 off the 28 to 300 mm lens. The rest is up to you, you can take breathe taking PIX.It is a great DSLR, as I grow up with Nikon SLR and now DSLR. You could be creative, take great PIX at various auto settings. If you do not mind paying a little more, Nikon is it and the D7000 is an excellent choice.Oh yeah, I would not purchase non OEM filters to down grade the mighty Nikon optics. Yes, they are not cheap but photographs are memories!

I used to shoot with a D200 and I loved it, but the d7000 is absolutely amazing! Just to list a few of my favorite things about this camera; The highest iso's look great! The frame is smaller, which is perfect for me, since I have tiny hands, but might not be so great if you have large hands. There are two customize-able modes that are right there on your dial! The 3d tracking is incredibly;y intuitive. The battery life is nothing short of AMAZING. I know this sounds unbelievable, but I shot a wedding from 9am to 10:30pm with 1500 shots or so on one single charge! I even had enough charge to shoot some pics of the submarine floating out in the river the next day! Incredible battery life! There is so much awesome packed in this camera. I can't live without it!

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

Excellent camera so far. Have been using for about four months now. It has far more features than I will probably use regularly. I did read the user's manual just to become familiar with what's available. This is an upgrade to my Nikon D70s. Picture quality is great. I enjoy experimenting with all the features.

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

I got a couple of these. Image quality is great. The back focus issue kills it. All I need is a camera that's easy to use and configure, the new video features and auto focus stuff complicates things so much that it's frustrating. I'm constantly wondering the both my d7000s are flawed or I don't have the setting right. The controls are great, Nikon excels in this. The camera is small and light noticeably flimsy compared to the d300 or higher. In short, this camera has lots of complicated features, the image quality is great but has horrible focusing issues in low light.

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

I was going to buy the D700 but something always came up and I was short a grand.. Since its my 2nd day with this camera, I would like to compare the D80 to D7000.First the bad stuff:I was very comfortable using the D80 and got the colors dialed in right and knew how it reacted to different lighting conditions and its limitations, with the D7000, I am having problems with custom white balance + High Iso + changing Aperture. Somehow when I change the aperture the white balance changes, maybe its because I never could go beyond ISO800 to get a decent photo on my D80?, I don't know, but it bugs me a little bit. Also there looks to be more of a faded photo compared to the CCD of the D80, Or I'm just not setting it up right?Bracketing - why not have it go more then 3 photos? Common Nikon!The good stuff:Auto Focus motor - WOW ITS FAST! I really mean FAST! ITS F-ING FAST! your old (Motorless) lenses will get a new life with this body, I was shocked! I have a 24mm,35mm, and 50mm prime lenses as well as a Tokina 28-70 F2.8 and its FAST! The D80 was painfully slow in this area.The Shutter - its fast and instant, no lag, compared to D80, this thing is amazing!High ISO - Its good, I wasn't surprised in this area after reading about it for months, but I still think image quality can be better, it does work much better with flash, Also saves battery life in my SB900 by bumping the iso to 1600 - 3200.Lots more stuff it can do - Maybe too much? I like the U1 U2 settings, I can set U1 for my strobes and U2 for Classroom, white balanced and everything.Overall : Definitely Happy with this camera, but want to see what the D300s replacement will be.

Although on paper D7000 is more advanced / has better specifications than the D90. Nikon clipped this camera's wings.Tons of D7000s are suffering from back-focusing, or hit and miss auto focusing issues. The images are out of focus frequently or systematically back focused. My D40/D3100/D90 does not have such issues.Worse still, the images at 100% are fuzzy and blurry, losing details. It's as if there is a dense fog surrounding everything in the picture, including the objects supposedly in focus.

First, let me say that for the last (almost) two years I have been using the Nikon D700, and occasionally the D300s and D90 as a backup.When I saw the specs and reviews for the D7000 I knew I had to try it out -- and guess what -- I haven't used my D700 at all since getting my D7000...It feels great. It's light, but well made, feels secure and not at all "plastic-y" The controls and buttons are all terrific and a huge improvement from the D90.The camera, while easy to use, has all the bells and whistles, great image quality, and a good user interface. In fact, the shots look better out of the camera than with the D300s. In reality, the image quality is virtually indistinguishable from the D700 up to ISO 3200, and only slightly better on the D700 upto about 6400. There's no comparison higher, the D700 wins hands down. Sure the D700 is better at low-light shooting with its full size sensor -- but the D7000 absolutely has surprised me in this area as well.It has features you expect in Pro cameras, and I wouldnt be surprised to see the D7000 become the back-up camera of choice for full frame shooters.That being said -- the 18-105 lens is pretty week. I already have a great selection of DX lenses including the amazing 17-55 2.8 lens (there just isn't anything that looks and feels and works as well as that lens on an FX), and the 18-200. It's a joy to use these lenses again on a regular basis. The 18-105 is average at best, and I have eBayed mine already. You might want to get the body only if you already have DX lenses.And after a few event shoots with the D7000, it's a joy to use something that weighs half of what the D700 weighs. The reality is, I will most likely also purchase the D700 update when it eventually comes down the pike, but I might very well end up selling mine off for now while waiting for that.I am simply in love with this little camera -- it's by far Nikon's best current DX lens, and it even competes with their FX D700 for image quality. Who can ask for more. Highly recommended.
