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

In April of 2004, I bought my first DSLR, the Nikon D70. I paid $1299.99 for the D70 and 18-70 kit lens. I loved the D70 - it was good enough that I could resist the D80, D200, etc. I spent my money on lenses instead. Then along came the D7000. I was nervous about jumping before DP Review has given their full report, but trusted Nikon and couldn't resist the specs. Well, after several hundred shots I'm resting easy: this is an absolutely fantastic camera.If you're like me coming from the D70, the D7000 is a step forward by every objective and subjective measure. I'm especially pleased with the D7000's new sensor. Two and half times the resolution changed the way I frame shots. I can pull back a bit during sports shooting to leave room for alignment corrections that eat up pixels at the edges. Unlike the D70, ISO 1600 is quite usable and ISO 3200 viable. I'm actually using Auto-ISO now, a feature I switched off in the D70 since I couldn't stand the noise.The back panel display is also a sight to behold. With 7 times the resolution of the D70, the display is beautiful, bright and good enough to weed out poor shots on site.The D7000 ergonomics felt immediately comfortable to my Nikon fingers. The only thing that made me pause was to locate the trash can button, which is now upper left rather than bottom right.Of course, many other pleasant surprises await, a customizable button, live view, Active D-Lighting, not to mention 1080P video.So, to those still snapping away with their D70's, this is the one! Enjoy!!!-- EDIT --If you are interested in the various GPS adapters for location tagging, be aware the D7000 uses a USB style connector for GPS units. This is different and incompatible with most other Nikon DSLRs. Make sure your GPS specifically states D7000 in it's compatibility list.

This is a very sturdy and reliable camera. Still getting used to the layout and controls (I've been using EOS for 20 years). Compared to my T2i:Same image quality.Easier manual focusing, thanks to the brighter viewfinder.Has silent mode.Same AF speed (at normal situations)Lacks peripheral illumination correction.Has chromatic aberration correction.Lacks 30p video speed.Worse battery grip system (needs to remove it to access the camera battery).Easier to start shooting video.Same high ISO performance.

I upgraded to this camera from my Nikon D90. From my perspective, the advantages are external microphone connector, slightly better low light performance, and more dedicated controls. The viewfinder seems nicer too, but I've been using other cameras between the day I sold my D90 and the day I got this one, so I cannot be 100% sure.To be honest, the camera didn't "wow" me (like moving from the D40 to the D90 did) so If you have a D90, I don't think the upgrade is worth it - unless you need the external microphone, want to use some old non-cpu lenses, need 1080p video, or some other feature you can only get with this camera.That doesn't mean that the D7000 is a bad camera by any means, it does everything the D90 does, and more. Between the time I sold the D90 and got the D7000 I used several other cameras, from advanced point and shots, to a Canon 7D. My favorite is the D7000, I like off-camera jpgs better than any other brand, automatic white balance, auto focus accuracy, and exposure are the best I've seen. I also got a SB-700, and I got better results from the D7000/SB-700 than from a Canon 50D/580EX III recently shoot a polo match, and I do not thing I got one picture out of focus, or with bad exposure. (With a 70-200 VR II)Final word : Get one - If money is short, get a D90 - you are not going to miss much. If you have a D90, keep it, and buy some glass.

I won't go in to lots of words, but I will tell you I have used a number of DSLR cameras (Nikon D40, D40x, D60, D50, D70, D70s, D80, D90, and now the D7000 as well as Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, 500D and 550D) and the Nikon D7000 may be one of the finest DX cameras I have ever used. In the past 24 hours I have logged 250 pictures and and I am impressed with the quality of the picture, and the ease of use with the camera. You might be tempted to think it's just a glorified D90, but you would wrong. It's better than the D90, and from what I am reading, better than the D300s which is more money. The camera feels good in the hands, has a solid feel, is weatherproof, and overall speaks professional photographer. For $1,500 in a kit, it is money well spent.I waited for the D7000 over any other DSLR for one reason: Auto-Focus in video mode. It was worth the wait. I had almost dropped the $1,400 on the Canon 60D but hesitated because the 60D was dumbed down in many ways by Canon so as to not impede on 7D sales. Nikon went all out and demolished the need for the D300s, while making a DSLR worth having. The video mode allows you to run auto-focus while shooting, which no other DSLR has done to this point. Additionally, you can now shoot 1080p in 24 frames (23.97 actually) per second, which is cinema quality. Also, you can shoot up to 20 minutes of video in one shoot, versus only 12 minutes for the Canon 60D, T2i, and T1i. You may think you are buying the D7000 for photography only, but wait until you see what you can do with video. Being able to do DOF shooting makes the DSLR video even more valuable, allowing you to do things you would have to spend thousands on in a professional camera.The D7000 may very well be Nikon's best DSLR in quite some time. I have used many, but this has quickly become my favorite.

I have used Nikon cameras since the original Nikon F was introduced.Now the Nikon D7000 is here I am very unhappy with this camera. The still pictures are excellent.But Nikon should have stayed out 0f the movie business until they perfected auto focus in movie mode. I took a trip to Alaska and took 200 plus still pictures that were excellent.But the movies are mostly out of focus that were made in auto focus mode.It is not because I don't know what I was doing it was because of the poor auto focus.When I used manual focus it worked fine.The Nikon D7000 camera does not compare to the Panasonic Lumix GH1 Or The GH2 for movies and the still pictures are just as good as the pictures from the Nikon D7000. My advise is save your self $200 dollars and buy a Panasonic GH2.I would return this camera for a refund,but seller does not have a return policy.I tried to buy this camera from amazon but they did not have it in stock at that time.They recommended the seller I bought from.

Well I just picked it up and started playing with it so for now i give it 5 stars but I will re-review later on.I shoot with a D700 right now and I sold my D90 just to buy this one, I was happy with the d90 but i wanted more ISO capabilities since i often shoot in clubs, weddings etc lots of low light situations. even thou is gonna be my back up camera for shows, it is going to be my main body for when i shoot and video at home my kids and such, so i wanted to make sure it was better than the D90, and so far it is.i shot at 6400 iso under somewhat low light and it looks incredible, the colors and the noise just amaze me and that is why i give it a 5 stars, besides the other goodies that you all know, like the 1080 AF video, weather seal magnesium body, etc it improved a lot, I can only compare it to the D90 since i never used a d300(s), I wish the controls would match more to the d700 so i'm not all over looking for function buttons but oh well. I almost got a d300s just because of that.I also wanted to point out that the test that i did, i used a nikon 24-70 F2.8 witch its a great sharp lens so that also helps.Just make sure you know what functions you need and make a decision base on that, a simple but mighty D40 could be all you need.find my stuff in facebook under [...]/OscarPallares.PhotographythxUPDATEWell a year has passed and i am still in love with this camera, i use it more than my d700, it matches the 35 1.8g lens very well for everyday shooting with awesome IQ. with the more expensive lens like my 24-70 2.8 it just shines at weddings. so don't be affraid to pull out the wallet this baby its so worth it.you can see a lot of my images taken with this camera in fb BUT you won't be able to tell if they were taken with the d7k or d700 so for better camera description find me in flickr.thanks.

I'm sure there are enough reviews that cover tech specs and photo savvy feedback.I own a D5000 as well as this D7000. I was very happy with the D5000 for daily use and for the initial cost staying well below professional prices, delivering above average performance.Now, this D7000, it's just a must have. If you are a Pro, I'm sure you know enough to realize this is one incredible contender for the higher end Nikons, in a far lower price range. If you are the Hobbyist or aspiring up and coming photographer the D7000 will take you to that next level with little effort. The basic Auto settings right out of the box give incredible lighting, Auto-focus and overall adjustments leaving you with pictures that almost seem airbrushed or touched up to some degree. It's almost a shame to have so many wonderful controls and personal adjustments you can make and store on the D7000 when you'll be so happy with the Auto-settings. but once you feel more comfortable or branch out to more difficult shots, or more artistic renderings, you'll be grateful to have a camera so accommodating on so many technical and basic levels. If you want the tech specs, read a review anywhere from anyone and you'll have a dressed up opinion. If you want a great camera and a sound investment, get the D7000 and rely on yourself, not reviews. You won't be sorry.

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

I purchased this camera this summer and Love the picture quality but it came defective new.First week i had it an error message popped up a few times, I have a lot of experience with DSLRs NIKON mostly and i know when ERR is displayed at the top LCD its a problem, i call nikon and have it sent to them, they keep it for a while and send it back. It seemed to work right for a moment, but still malfunctions and seems to do it more often.Nikon couldnt even fix it and wouldnt replace itGreat camera when it works, but its a guessing game when its gonna work.

I was using the D3100, which is a nice camera; I gave it to my daughter along with the 18-105mm that came as a package with the D7000. The 7000 is great. I mostly use it with my Nikkor 70-200mm taking picture of birds and landscapes. I like the option of taking pictures in the RAW mode and being able to edit on the camera. I am new at this but am leaning quickly; I recently retired so I have plenty of time to to run the camera through its paces.

i had nikon d90 and this camera is almost the samei was reading alot of reviews before buying it and everyone was like WOW the ISO and the AMAZING image quality,,,,well it`s not true.it`s just like the d90 which both are not good cameras or you can say over priced .image quality is as same as the cheap D3100 and D5000 but it`s a better built quality dslrif you are reading my reviews well just get the cheap D3100 it`ll do the job or if you are more serious about photography save some extra money and get your self a full frame DSLR like the D700 with 3 prime lenses (50mm f/1.8 D , 24mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8 ) that would be perfect or just fight nikon and those companies cause this item worth half of it`s price ... 1200$ is too much for that dslri`m FINE with my d7000 and i`d be happy if it was 600$

i really can't say enough about this body.it's a major jump from the D90 i had previously, in both image quality at higher ISOs and in speed/performance.coupled with the 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8, i'm prepared for just about any shooting situation.i really like the DX crop factor, to the point i doubt that i'll ever go FX.really, it's the perfect camera for me except for a few things:* the memory card door opens too easily* i wish there were just a little more room for my pinky (average male hands), but i could always get the MD-11.* and most important, i wish it had stereo microphones for video recording.that last one is really the only thing (aside from the camera breaking) that would make me want to upgrade!

I liked using this camera and the image quality is fantastic but with 2 card read/write errors in <200 shots in the first 2 days I returned it after Nikon suggested it could be a faulty camera. I used recommend, high quality SD cards and switched these around, formatted in the camera...basically did everything I should do but the failure persisted.I did a lot of research before buying the D7000 but I'm nervous to buy a 2nd one after this experience.

My wife and I each had a D90 and have been very happy with those,but when a friend offered to buy my D90 I just had to go for the D7000. I have only taken a couple hundred shots but what I have seen after comparing the 90 to the 7000 is the image quality is definitely better and it seems that not only is there a better sensor and processor but also because the camera settings can be adjusted easier and more accurately. For example, the auto white balance is much more accurate and the shutter speed up to 1/8000 along with the great high ISO abilities and the metering seems much more accurate as well. Auto focus is great but I had no complaints with the d90s auto focus. The controls and the feel of the camera are pretty similar with the 7000 being a little heavier but for the most part the menus and buttons are also very similar with the 7000 being a little easier to adjust with a few nicely placed camera buttons added on. The tripod base plate from my D90 will not properly fit the 7000 but the 7000 and 90 are real close in size other then that. I have no doubt this cameras capabilities are much more than my skill and/or knowledge warrant at this time but I don't see that being a problem. I believe anyone upgrading from a previous Nikon model will absolutely love this camera. I have not had any issues with Video noise or hot pixels. The video that I played around with is excellent quality. I had it on Pre-Order from Amazon but found Calumet photo had it available for the same price so I got it next day air from them.After a few more days playing with this camera and comparing the D90 and this 7000 the 7000 is so much better than I first realized. Especially the high ISO capability and white balance. Great Camera!

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

Seriously! After reading some reviews I felt this will be the answer to my prayers. I bought it yesterday and am returning in a couple of days. The pictures are horrible at room light, dark edges, blurry when object is moving even slowly (with scene being sports/ child). Even outside the edges were soft and a little dark. The focus is an issue, as many point out in many forums. I can attribute this to the lens probably, but how will I know? I had a 60D (18-135) for a while, which was fantastic compared to this.This review is to let you know people that many reviews are written by experts who use expensive lens. With normal kit lens (18-105), D7000 is not worth it. 60D was a lot better with its kit lens and 300 cheaper.And the video autofocus is a joke. Rather should have not included it and advertise it.Edited after 30 days of use: Ok guys, A little better now, so improved the ratings from 2 to 3. The SLT a55 is ultimate in video, but fact remains its not an SLR, its a great p&s. Though i still rate 60d higher in some aspects, the ease of use and some features in D7000 made me still stick with this though the image quality can be debated, but with kit lens i cant expect more than what i saw. So planning to purchase 18-200 vr ii and will know completely.

I hope that you never need to send your camera to Nikon under warranty.It is almost impossible to get the information about the status and the speed of service is really slow.Nikon practically does not care about the number of days, they hold the camera in the service department.

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

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