From the moment I heard about this camera's release, I was very excited and immediately began the process of justifying its purchase. Once I was able to drop the $1200 all I could find was the kits and I really didn't want the lens that came with it so I waited. And waited. And waited some more. It took almost 3 months for me to find just the body, and I must admit that it was well worth the wait.From the get go, I noticed the mirror slap was much quieter than that of my D200 and I found it to be a pleasing sound. Definitely better for stealthier situations. It was also immediately apparent that the body was smaller than the D200 as well, but not so much so that I could feel a big difference while shooting. Another thing that I noticed was that the larger display was crystal clear and a nice upgrade. The general controls on the body were similar enough to the D200 that it didn't take me too long to figure most of them out, but there were a few options that I had to consult the manual to figure out; specifically, changing the flash mode and trying to figure out where the shutter release cable plugged into. The user menu is similar as well so I had little trouble setting up my normal shooting parameters.I was very pleased to see that the D7000 wasn't nearly the battery hog that the 200 is. I purchased a spare battery and the MBD11 "multi-power" battery pack and got roughly 3,000 frames from the first battery. That's over double what I would get from the D200 and the BP that accompanied it.There are a few other improvements over the D200 that I have noticed as well. The exposure metering seems more accurate and the AF motor is quieter too. I love the 16 MP images (twice that of my previous body) and despite my initial apprehensions, I even like the dual SDHC card slots though I wish I could still use my collection of CF cards. The auto white balance is HUGELY improved over the D200. I would usually do a custom WB for each lighting situation I would encounter. The D7000 has yet to be taken out of Auto WB mode and the results are more than acceptable.The noise at higher ISO settings is greatly reduced in comparison. I get more noise shooting with the D200 @ ISO 1600 than I do with the D7000 with the ISO @ 6400. And the fact that I can go to 6400 makes the camera all the better.Then there's the built in intervalometer which gives the D7000 the ability to automatically shoot one frame per second for up to 999 seconds. This is the feature that I was most excited to use and have used it a few times already. I am a huge fan of time lapse photography and now I have the ability to do TL projects. My only gripe is that the camera's internal software limits us to just 999 frames. That's only 16.25 minutes of shooting when taking one frame per second and when you make your movie (which is normally @ 24 frames per second) that works out to roughly 42 seconds of TL video per session.Speaking of video, that is another feature that I was very excited over and I am looking forward to using when opportunities arise. I have used the camera in video mode all of once in the past six weeks and I am not completely happy with the results. In all fairness though, I am sure that the issues I have with the videos shot are more from operator error than they are from the camera. I really need to read the section of the manual pertaining to the video capabilities before I say anything unflattering.As time goes on and I've had a chance to give the camera even more of a work out, I will make any necessary amendments to this review.Strengths:16 MPISO range from 100 to 6400 (25,600 on the "H settings)6 FPSBuilt in intervalometerGreatly improved auto white balance100% View FinderMetal frameWeather and dust sealsWeaknesses:Limited number of frames can be shot using interval shooting.Similar Products Used:Nikon D100Nikon D200

Wonderful camera, I only a problem with the battery not hold a charge. It is a little more complicated to set up to my standards because of the menus in menus I have only had it a month and have only used it twice for work. It will be better with use.

This is a preliminary review. I'm a pro photographer who has been faithfully served by Nikon D200 & D300's for event and nature photography. Just before a trip to the Everglades, my D300's lcd info panel light wouldn't turn off and it kept abnormally seeking the cf card resulting in quick battery drain. Of course the fix was having lots of batteries and turning it off when not shooting. But In panic assuming that the D300 was going to completely fail, I read Ken Rockwell's review and noticed the D7000's price. With time running out and not wanting to shell out $7K for the D3x (or D700 for other reasons) I somehow found one D7000 kit, but not body, offered by Amazon and could get it quickly. It was on b/o everywhere else I looked. I didn't want or need the lens, but what can you do sometimes?I haven't had time to evaluate image quality in detail, but it's impressive at least up to ISO 1600. Without the battery attachment it's small and light, but with good ergonomics. It's got most of the feature required for my shoots and tons of goodies if you're just a camera bug. Combined with the 18-200 VR it's a dynamite, relatively affordable package. It was easy to use without consulting the unusually well written manual. However, if you're used to the D300, etc., you won't be happy with the organization of the controls. The iso button's on the back left and the exposure options are set with a dial like on the D70, so you can't change the most important settings as easily. I don't like the new control for setting the focus options. But if you've never used a D200/D300 you probably won't care. The 6 fps is cool, but I'm used to 8 fps with the D300s battery pack. Those extra 2 fps sometimes mean getting the shot or not for sports/birds.Random remarks: So far, taking movies is easy and fun. Rockwell states that the quality isn't great, but they look excellent when shown on a large led hd tv. I have had no trouble focussing with my 200-400 or any other lens. I don't like it that you can't display both iso and frame count at the same time. The lcd info display on the top of the body seems fine, in contrast to criticisms by other. What I'm really upset about is that neither Nikon or Adobe have updated Camera Raw for phototshop CS4, so you can't use the D7000's NEF files with CS4. Maybe Nikon gets a cut from Adobe for CS4 - CS5 upgrades, which I purchased reluctantly. Nikon's ViewNX2 is good software and loads and displays raw files quickly, but I need to use psd files and, of course, photoshop's + plug-in's features to do real work.At this point, nothing much to contribute until I can get that camera back from my wife. (My D300 healed itself, I did lots of trouble shooting, but don't know why it started to work again.) My recommendation is that if you can afford to shell out about $1.5 - $2K for the body/kit (this price includes battery attachment, sd cards (too easy to lose!), decent case and camera strap [Nikon should get out of the strap business or contract with Tamrac.] buying the D7000's a no-brainer regardless of your expertise and experience.Update, 7/1/11: OK, upgrading to CS5 was worth it, sorry about the conspiracy theory. This is a great camera except that it's destroying my technique because it's so easy to use. With the 18-200 VR and the D7000's low noise at hi ISOs (but keep using Define2.0), I can shed 30 lbs of photo gear and my tripod. It's really fun taking videos and as stated above, the quality's great. And Scott Kelby, notwithstanding, the built-in flash ain't so bad either.

The D7000 is an excellent replacement to earlier Nikon models I have owned. It combines the flexibility of a point and shoot camera with all of the customized features of a quasi professional camera. Having just bought it, I know that it will take many weeks to learn how to use it to its maximum potential. At a subjective level, it feels and handles optimally.

I have a variety of pro photography gear, which I use for my real estate work and for non-profit volunteer photography work. I have been using a D2Xs--Nikon's last generation flagship body, which I paid more than $4,000 for a few years ago--as my primary body and a D70 as a backup/2nd body. I purchased the D7000 figuring I would replace the D70 and continue shooting with the D2Xs as my primary body. I was surprised to discover that the D7000 outperforms and outhandles the D2Xs in almost every way.The focusing system is extremely fast and a marked improvement over the anything else I have used. It is still not psychic, of course, but it does a good job in full auto, and with 38 focus points from which to choose, it offers good flexibility for pinpointing a specific focus point almost anywhere in your image.Battery life is excellent for a non-professional body. I shot 1,300 images with it one day last week. I changed batteries preemptively. The one with 1,300 images on it was still showing multiple bars remaining.Low light performance just blows me away. I try to avoid going higher than ISO800 on the D2Xs due to inescapable noise. I had assumed that the only way to get a meaningful improvement in low light performance would be to get a full-frame body, such as the D700 or D3, but this body represents a major improvement. I can shoot at ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 with very pleasing results. Yes, ISO 3200 or 6400 will display noticeable loss of detail and smearing if you are looking at an images pixel for pixel. But the overall usability of those images is still very good. This is the first body that I have used at automatic ISO, since I can then set shutter and aperture as my application demands, and I can know that the camera can then pick the ISO and still produce spectacular images.The only meaningful drawbacks compared to a true professional body are 1) limited buffer for continuous shooting (but it still fires off several images in rapid-fire sequence), and 2) no built-in second shutter release for shooting vertically. Yes, there are other differences, but most are not important for most folks. For example, being able to get 1,500 images out of the D7000 battery versus maybe 2,500 out of the larger professional body batteries. For the price point, this is quite remarkable.I have not used this for video work yet, but it has excellent capabilities and an external microphone jack. I have seen plenty of samples online of beautiful video work done with this body. If you plan to use it for video, plan to use a tripod and/or to spend some serious money on accessories to help handle this body smoothly. DSLRs are virtually impossible to hold out from your body (far enough to watch the LCD live view display) steady for any length of time.Overall I am extremely pleased and amazed at the high end features for the price point. I give it four stars and not five only because it is not literally perfect, but quite close!

There are several well done and detailed reviews here (B. Fuller +). Please just allow me to add a few considerations.I now have my second D7000. The first one was from the very first batch shipped and several in this batch had focusing problems (many comments on DPReview). With all lenses, and most noticeably at their maximum zoom setting, the focus was terrible. This second camera is perfect. I would guess Nikon fixed a bug in their setup routine (think Hubble :-)A second problem receiving numerous comments concerns "hot pixels" in live view / video mode at high ISO settings and dark surroundings. All sensors have a few pixels that are defective, are mapped, and are "fixed" to look like their neighboring pixels. This makes it a near zero problem. Unfortunately in live view / video mode the D7000 does not "hide" these pixels. My current D7000 has one annoying red pixel that is easily visible about 1/3 of the time on an HDTV monitor when shooting indoors. According to DPReview, Nikon has announced a new firmware release to solve this problem. It is no longer a concern of mine.I have also spent a fair bit of time comparing lenses (Koren 203 lens test chart - plus printed text and fabrics). The unexpected result is that the 18 to 105mm kit lens is nearly equal to my 60mm micro Nikkor D lens in the 18 to 35mm range (f-8). My 70 - 300mm lens (F/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED) was better than the 28 - 300mm (f 3.5 -5.6 G ED VR) in the 70 to 200 range but not quite as good at 300. The 70 - 300 produces equal centers and slightly sharper edges than the kit lens at 70mm and up. All my tests were done using jpg files with the camera setting bumped one notch for both sharpness and contrast. The differences are much less obvious and far less important in real world use. Photos of a large blooming orchid plant look almost equal on 13" x 19" prints when I was careful with the f-stop (if in doubt use f-8).Update: I have tested this camera in various light situations. The dynamic range system works quite well but there are occasions where you can not trust the camera's auto metering. DPReview noted: "Tendency to overexpose in bright sunshine/high contrast situations". A few of my daylight photos confirm that you need to be watchful in bright sun. I would suggest routinely setting the exposure compensation -2/3 rds stop (down) outdoors on a sunny day. There are other suggestions on the internet but this is by far the easiest to remember and undo for me. Nikon did not confirm or deny if they will include an adjustment for this in their firmware release.A video note:The focusing during video shooting tends to hunt and be noisy. The noise is more noticeable when reviewing in camera than on an HDTV system. One solution is to think "producer" and edit together a series of shots instead of continuous shooting.Update: The Sennheiser MKE 400 Shotgun Microphone was a nice addition for video. The focus noise becomes less noticeable and the quality is very good. The mic is quite compact and does not make the set up look too over the top. It seemed better to use a medium mic sensitivity (2) than AGC when shooting.Within the camera setup there are a number of focus options including changing the delay time before the camera tries to refocus (0 delay and 5 other options). There are many other options including subject tracking and facial recognition. The method I am currently using is to set it to center refocus when I half press the shutter release. I have made the mistake of fully depressing it though, and that terminates recording. If you are primarily interested in video the Panasonic GH1 / 2 is more designed for that. The D7000 is spectacular still camera first, and capable of beautiful video when carefully used second.A personal bias:I believe the D7000 is capable of more than many of the Nikon DX lenses are delivering. Great lenses are a strength of Nikon, let's keep the heat on them to design lenses that maximize the images from their DX cameras too.

Pros:Performance in low light is superb.Build quality is as good as professional level DSLRs.Custom mode dial is very useful.Small changes in layout from D90 are great.Infrared thingy on the back makes using the remote easier.Cons:Video auto-focusing is a marketing gimmick and just does not work in real world situations. In addition, the mic picks up the AF sounds and it is very loud. You would have to use a mic off-camera. I even bought an on-camera directional mic, but it still picks up the sounds to the point of being useless. But the audio issue is a moot point really, as the video AF is of little use. Nikon should focus on competing with Canon for video market share by matching Canon's bitrate and framerate levels rather than by touting video AF. Pros don't use video AF anyway.!!! The lack of a recording indicator light on the front and little indication on the back means you will have no idea when the 20 minute recording limit is reached when using it on a tripod without someone behind the camera. If you are planning to use the D7000 to record family gatherings, you are going to be frustrated and disappointed. I actually missed the first laugh of my infant son because I thought it was recording, but it wasn't! A simple light and a beep when it is done seems like a complete no-brainer and I can't imagine why Nikon did not include this feature on this or the D7000.Included software is not very good. Okay, Nikon's software sucks. It is a complete mystery how they rationalize charging $200 for a half-baked remote capture application (Camera Control Pro), when Canon includes something better for free! I scratch my head a lot when thinking about Nikon's strategies.Check your camera for backfocusing before the return period ends! This is widely reported, but Nikon has not owned up to it. I had to send mine in for service for a severe backfocusing problem. The entire service experience ranks up there with my Worst Nightmare Experiences Ever. Nikon's Customer Service is bad, bad, bad- infamously so. I won't go into the details here, but let's just say I came very close to selling my Nikon gear at a loss to switch to Canon. But they just make such darn great cameras!Final Analysis:The best prosumer DSLR Nikon has ever made. It's class performance is second to none. Video looks great but is frustrating to use without an indicator light. Backfocusing problems should be checked for right away. If this is your first camera and you are considering the Nikon/Canon question, ask yourself how important customer service is to you. Canon=good, Nikon=bad.

Battery lasts incredibly long. Images are sharp, even in low light using a high ISO. The HD video feature is really nice to have too. Being able to take videos using all of the compatible lenses is a huge benefit. I upgraded from a Nikon d40x, and this was a big step forward without adding much weight or bulk to my camera bag. The live view feature is really helpful. Many of the settings can be adjusted with dials or buttons, so you don't really have to spend much time in the menus.

I dislike this camera with a passion. I am only giving it 2 stars because my husband does enjoy using it because it takes video and he does not have to change the lenses. What the consumer should know is that our Nikon D60 from 2008 takes awesome photos every time and requires little effort to get the photos right. The D7000 bites the dust in my opinion.

I gave this item a rating of one star based on the included kit lens only; in my opinion the D7000 camera body itself is great! Read the various web site reviews in order to make your decision on the camera itself. However, the included 18-105mm kit lens is pretty mediocre; plastic mount and the images are not sharp (read the reviews.) It's like putting re-tread tires on a Ferrari. I sent this kit back and got the D7000 kit that included the 18-200mm lens. What a difference! Much better quality constructed lens (metal mount) and sharp images! Plus you get the extra zoom. Again, don't just listen to me, read the reviews on this lens on various web sites. You are already thinking about plunking down some serious bucks, so please, please, please spend the extra $300 bucks for the kit with the 18-200mm lens (you will also get a 16GB card and carrying bag.) This is a lens that sells separately for $800 bucks plus! Honestly, you will not be sorry. Get the kit with the 18-200mm lens and you may not ever need another lens! You've been warned! (didn't the Lorax say that?)

I had the Nikon d40 for awhile and heard about the D7000 rumor early 2010. I knew my next dslr would be the D90 or better. What I wanted was the dual scroll wheels and 1980x1080p video recording features and this totally delivered. Also a bump in megapixal and the new cmos sensor with better iso for low lighting would sweeten the deal. I carried over the Nikon 18-200vr, 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.8 from my old D40.Photos:I been shooting this camera since the first week of November 2010 and have taken about 4000 shots/some movie clips. At first I thought the image was a little soft. The poster on this d7000 forum told me how to fixed it in the menu and all is fine now. I am finally getting night shots, when I did night photo stroll with my friends the D40 was too slow and my iso skill back then wasn't great. Since I gotten this I played with almost every buttons and setting and actually shot aperture priority now, I been using the Nikon present for the D40.Movies mode:I am still learning this, getting things to focus on the fly. It does continuous autofocusing, but not as zippy as the Sony A33 I played with. Overall the movies I made are fun, but in no way anything you see on blu-ray 1980x1080p. I find that I do a better job of manual focus and it is much quieter. I plug an external microphone to this and it really is a benefit to filming with audio for less background noise.Positives:+Great photos, Sony newest CMOS is good for low lighting.+Camera Body motor, I have a 50mm 1.8 that I can finally use.+ISO looks very good, once I leave 1600, I can notice some different+more external buttons, entry level camera like the D40 uses the submenu too much.+Bigger body and sturdier magnesium alloy material, I like that in my hands with the rubber insert.+LCD screen is much improved, now I do know if a shot is good or bad.+Live view photography, I don't use it much but I like the option too.+Nikon Service, I called about the stuck pixel in Movie mode, they said wait for the firmware, and it got fixed.+Nikon ViexNX is good for quick adjustment.+1080p 24fps Movie mode with continuous auto-focus(like I said not as zippy as Sony, but much quieter) I made a few youtube videos now.Neutral:Battery is bigger and more expensive then before. I Since I record clip more it is hard to compare to the D40 which just took pictures. I get 350-400 shots before I recharge. Some people claim 1000 shots per charge, but that is not me. My 4000shot hashas 5-6 charges already.Negative:-GPS, if the Sony A55 with the same cmos as this can have one for cheaper, why not the D7000.-I was hoping it be around $1000. The Sony A33 and A55 are much cheaper, with the same cmos.Overall I like the pictures that I got from the D7000, and all the external layout. I can bracket shots with ease, for HDR editing photoshop of course. I don't have to go into the submenu to turn on the remote. I even used the continuous burst for once. The Nikon ViexNX is a good software for quick fix like for contrast and sharpening. It is no way a Lightroom or Photoshop replacement, nope. It can edit video too, but I just use the Window Media player on Win7. I have/carried this camera around me like a cellphone. I added the Nikon SB-700 to this camera and the two work well together, ie the wireless flash. Is the 18-105 lens worth 300, if you don't have any lens(es) yes. It is an acceptable walk-around lens with a decent zoom an ok 3.5 at 10 and 5.6 when you zoom to the 105. Later on maybe get some faster lenses (bigger glass and aperture) like a zoom f2.8 or either a 35 or 50mm prime f1.8 or for more bokeh.

Let me start by saying I upgraded to this DSLR from a Nikon D3100, so this is definitely a big upgrade for me. I mainly wanted to upgrade so I could access the manual controls, as I was tired with just turning a dial and using preset modes that tended to over or under expose.-This camera's 6fps shooting is amazing, and never ceases to amaze me! I'll just push the shutter down for a few seconds just to hear the fun shutter sound(;-The video is great, but I don't really use video very much. I find the autofocus noisy with my 50mm f/1.8, so I tend to use manual focus when on video.-Even though it may not mean a lot coming from a 15 year old, this DSLR would be great for any skill level. The reaction time when changing any mode or setting is split second, and it never fails. I've never once had the whole camera just freeze up, resulting in me having to reset it by removing the battery, like my D3100. This really is a quality machine. It has a great design and fits great in your hands just like it should. Unless you're a 5 year old, the D3100 isn't exactly the greatest size for hands. (Though I'm still a fan of the D3100 of course)I recently dropped my D7000, about 2 weeks ago resulting in my kit lens being ruined and the camera body being cracked on the top left corner. This is when this camera showed me it was of real quality.The lens broke completely off of the mount,completely cracking the lens, and the camera body mount itself is still perfectly intact and nothing looks out of place. The little crack on the magnesium alloy body is just cosmetic, and I'll probably go over it with a little tad bit of black paint one day, as it's very minute and isn't worth sending into Nikon to get the whole piece replaced.My final opinion: DEFINITELY worth the extra $500-$700 from the D3100, if you want a more professional camera. It's a great quality DSLR, and is a great representation of Nikon's products.By The Way: The lens I bought to replace my kit lens is the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. I HIGHLY recommend it and I'm still amazed by the low light quality. It's a great, capable lens.The focusing distance tends to annoy me. You can't get as close as you'd like, but for $120 bucks, you can't complain that much.My next lens will be the Nikkor 40mm f/2.8 Micro as it has macro capabilities, is a great middle focal length between the 35 and 50 f/1.8, and still has a low aperture!

The positives of the D7000 vs. D90 after two months of use:1. I shoot mainly indoor sports primarily high school jazz and high-kick dance routines in low and lousy light typically. This camera is considerably better than the D90 in this area. Very sharp and bright images with little or no noise up to ISO 6400. I generally use a Nikon f/2.8 70-200mm VR lens which yields excellent results.2. 100% image as shown in viewfinder.3. New extra dial that lets you store two completely different sets of camera settings. This makes switching between two modes especially fast when needed.The negatives (only applies if you expect to shoot many shots quickly and in raw)1. One of the things even the expert reviewers are missing is that this camera at 16MP creates around a 20MB raw file. This isn't a problem for general use but when shooting rapid fire or shooting every second or so the buffer fills up before writing out to the card. You can take up to 10 shots at any speed you wish but once it is full you have to wait several seconds to open space to continue or take fewer shots which is what I do to not miss that all important moment. I never had this issue with the D90 - I could shoot as rapid as I wanted. Granted the image is much better/larger and in 14 or 12 bit raw but be aware of this limitation going in. When shooting JPEG, the buffer size increases considerably so if you normally shoot JPEG it might not be a problem.2. The dual card slot sounds great. There are several menu options to configure how you want the slots to behave; mirror so that as you take each photo the camera writes out to the other card at the same time. Sounds great for backup? It is great if you shoot slow or general stuff. However, shooting quick, fast shots, it slows the write process down even further to the point where it is not very useable. So I always opt for having the second card to act as overflow so when the first card fills up it automatically switches to the second card. This doesn't seem to slow it down. There are also several different configurations for the dual card slots. I would suggest downloading the user manual from Nikon prior to purchase to see if it will meet your needs.3. As you push the shutter release it is harder to determine when the shutter will close and slightly delayed on occasion compared to the D90 which was crisp and felt just right. Its not too bad once you get accustomed to it being more sensitive and know how to deal with it but at first you will notice a sharp contrast.4. I added a battery grip which makes the camera balance and grip much better especially with the larger lens for going into portrait position. Nice features on it and well positioned. However, its a trade off in that you have to take the grip off every time you want to charge the battery that remains in the camera. Only one battery is in this battery grip vs. the design made for the D90 which was two.In general I highly recommend this camera despite the comments above. The limitations above are something to be aware of for my shooting conditions. If these don't match how you plan to use the camera you will be delighted by it's performance over the D90. You will still be delighted in any case.I also have used the D700 and D3 and I would say this camera produces images comparable to the D700 in in some cases superior. It's not D3 or D3X class but the images are hard to distinguish until you get into really low light situations.No difference:The magnesium body vs plastic body. I didn't really notice the difference between the two cameras. They feel and look about the same and weigh very close.

I upgraded my body to this recently from my old Nikon D80. Paired with a Nikon 24-70mm 2.8f lens and a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8f lens, this thing is a BEAST compared to my D80.The biggest differences I see are:1) The focus speed and accuracy - with the 39 AF points it captures most of my shots with my kids running around2) Amazing usability at high ISO ranges - I mean I've had this cranked up to 2500 ISO and zero graininess on indoor pictures at my kids b-day parties with no blur at shutter speeds as low as 1/80.3) 6 shots per second - doesn't sound like much but taking shots of the kids running around, you get some great expressions you would otherwise miss4) Ability to shoot video. Obviously not the main reason I got this, but it's a nice feature to use once in a while5) dual memory card slots. Can you see never run out of room with 2 32 GB SD cards loaded? :-)If you have a D80 and you can still find one available for under $900 now that the D7100 has come out. Don't think, just buy.

I am pretty sure there are many people who will agree AND disagree when I say"A camera is and can be as good as its user."For the Nikon D7000, it is a very good piece of engineering for a relatively affordable price.The D7000 has everything a beginner or enthusiast can ask for.What I like about the camera:- Amazing viewfinder, a great set of levers, dials and buttons for amazingly quick control, without even looking at the larger LCD.- User defined modes U1 and U2, to quickly switch over to saved modes and settings for specific situations, are more flexible than in other cameras.- A large set of options in the menu to customize the camera as per user's requirements.- An excellent metering system and a very good AF system with 39 focus points and 3D tracking for shooting action (kids, pets..) and sports.- Probably the only camera to actually be able to exploit UHS-I SD card write speeds, and this one comes with DUAL SD card slots, I can even use my microSD card with the help of an adapter.- DX format gives more lens options, down side: cropped image of what you see on a Full Frame.- Excellent battery life.- Excellent in-camera RAW editing. Also comes with a few effect like the miniature, fish-eye, etc.What I would like to have/change:- A better frame rate for the price. Shoots at 6fps at the moment.- A better, bigger buffer size for shooting RAW and JPG at Large size. Shoots up to 10 RAW images before buffer is full.- A couple of more customizable (Fn) buttons, although this might be too much to ask for.- A few more manual mode options' usability during Live View.- A better user's manual.Some might complain the AF is slower than the pro-level 51 Point AF system developed by Nikon, but the speed also depends, I think, on the lens in use.I have bought only FX lenses so far, since they are reverse compatible with DX bodies. So I can use the same lenses, if I switch over to FX in the future. I'd recommend a 50mm or 35mm prime for amazing sharp low-light, low noise images.The Nikon D7000 can shoot the amazing Full HD videos to top it all off, I wish it did 60fps or more too.Overall image qaulity: Very goodBuild and Handling: Very goodValue for money: ExcellentFeatures: ExcellentLow light images: Very Good up to ISO 1200.Dynamic Range: Amazing at ISO 100.Having a great set of machinery will not necessarily produce world class photos, if as a photographer you don't take the time and pains for a good composition, and again while to edit the RAW images. I recommend you always shoot in RAW.Definitely a recommended buy, if you are truly passionate about your photography.

I have owned and shot with a D90 for about 2 years now. After reading some reviews on "other" sites I was a little hesitant.... but hopeful. After shooting with it for about 5 days now, all I can say is WOW. I have yet to try out all the features on the D7000, but using most of the same settings and scenarios that I had used on my D90, this camera is WAY beyond my expectations.Clean, Crisp shooting is a given using this camera (if you do your part). QUALITY pictures at higher ISO's is what I really was after, and it has delivered for me. I have an upcoming trip to Alaska to really put the test to it, I plan on updating my review after getting a more aquainted with everything it has to offer.I plan on using this camera to do some serious photography, from what I have seen so far, it can & will handle what I want.EDIT: After returning from Alaska, all I can say is I am REALLY impressed. From Crunching 6 Frame-per-second pictures of flying eagles, to snapping pictures of Surfacing whales in a fraction of a second from when I first saw them, it never failed me.I DO NOT take pictures with my camera set to "auto", newbies or others with not a lot of experience with a camera such as this, might struggle some. However, if you get a good guide and read it, this camera can open up a whole new world to your photography. I have read quite a few "focus error" posts on here, I had a couple too.... until I set it for how I was shooting, I have had ZERO problems since.If you do not know what you are doing with a digital SLR, this is not an easy camera to get great pictures with... good pictures sure. But if you are spending this much money, and willing to do a LITTLE homework.... why not take EXCEPTIONAL pictures??? This camera will do it.

I recently upgraded from a D3000 and it has been a world of difference between the two. The D3000 was a real noise master and any pictures take above ISO 800 in low-light even with a prime lens yielded bad results. Not to mention the absence of bracketing. There are a bucket load of features missing in the D3000 but this is about D7k right?The kit 18-105 is an all rounder but it has its limitation under extreme low light. I use this with my other two primes 35 1.8G and 50 1.8D and I'm greatly satisfied with the results.WB is always set on AUTO (except when I use strobes) and it succeeds most of the time detecting the right mode.AF is super fast and I found that using single point in low-light would be a good idea.Sharp images and great contrast.The extra dials are useful to quickly change Shutter speed/apertureTons of extra settings which I dearly missed in D3kAgreed one slightly discomforting thing is the added bulk and weight when compared to entry level models and mirror-less models, but for the quality of output I think these are rightly justified.

As a amateur photography enthusiast, the Nikon D7000 is my first DLSR camera. And i couldnt be less amazed by the power it gives into your hands - yet to subtle and can be used by newbies like me effortlessly.The menu options are simple to understand, and i found them quite intuitive and didn't have to read the manual to know what each does.The pictures come out really well, its 16 MP and amazing clarity - whether you shoot indoors or outdoors. The auto mode is a no brainer - i actually started off with the pre-set "scene" modes which are designed perfectly for different shooting conditions.There are lot of manual settings - a setting for practically everything you can think of. I am actually learning all of them as i use it more - but its a real treat for someone interested in photography. You soon find there is so much to learn, it surprises you everyday.You can take full HD video in amazing movie like clarity. Buy a 32 or 64 GB card if you plan to shoot more videos since video size can easily go up to 800 MB for a 5 min video on 1080 HD.Battery life is also improved from the previous models - i got around 800 shots + a few 5 min videos from a single battery charge.The only sore point i would say is - it is little heavy to carry around especially after you attach the lens. Need strong hands if you are outdoors and want to click pics as you travel.I highly recommend this equally to amateurs and professionals.

I like the D7000. I wish I could love it, but this review is for those interested in true hybrid shooting: switching on-the-fly between still image capture and digital filming. I've been trying to find the right camera to use in the field when I have to shoot both stills and short film clips. A "perfect" camera doesn't need add-ons to do that... the Nikon D7000 does need them. I'm not hating on the D7000 because Nikon's definitely going in the right direction (by adding things like a socket for an external mic - something that the D90 sorely lacked. It also adds manual adjustment for film recording (people like calling it "video" but iPhones take video ... I want to go beyond that YouTube mentality).The D7000 also sports that wonderful 5-6 fps still image capture. Not just a burst of 6 frames, but constant. In Jpeg mode, you can sit on the shutter and capture dozens of images. With the setting in Raw, you can only capture a handful of NEF files before the camera needs to come up for air to write; the image size is actually larger than the D3/D3S.Now for what I feel is the drawback on the hybrid build of these cameras: Each one that has a mirror for shooting images means that you cannot use the eyepiece to shoot clips. Which means that you have to use the rear LCD screen to frame and capture. Taking that camera from cradle shooting (where you cradle the camera in your hands holding it to your eye) will yield camera shake when you extend a two-pound camera away from your body to shoot. And forget about fine-focusing if you're farsighted.You also can't control sound like the camcorders like the ones with the XLR microphone jacks. Our boss plans to get an audio integrator, but they cost $399, and add bulk which goes against the desire to have an camera that doesn't attract attention.One can add a viewfinder for the LCD screen (like the Hoodman) which acts as a loupe, but if you're into shooting both stills and clips, your eye won't be able to access the prism viewfinder. In my own opinion, the need to add these accessories means that development of a great field-use hybrid still has a way to go. I think these cameras should eliminate the shutter mirror. It would allow you to keep the camera close to your face and quickly and seamlessly switch between clips and images. The hybrid camera is moving on a course where this should hopefully happen. I think Lumix now has some cameras that are mirror-free and use an LCD viewfinder. But their image quality is still lacking.Is it that photographers don't want to shoot using an LCD screen? Is there a problem with image jumping when a still is captured, where the image shows for a moment, or breaks away from the live action? I've noticed that with the Lumix cameras that I've shot with, and it makes it difficult to shoot something like football. Focusing isn't nearly as precise as using a prism viewfinder. Some people may be chomping at the bit thinking I'm hating you new-found gem. But I only want to focus on what others genuinely missed in their reviews. It's easy to talk about all that stuff that most write about. But I think this is an important aspect that needs to be explained, for those who want to use a similar camera as a standalone hybrid. We don't have the budget or desire to but external sound boxes, 8-inch monitors, and camera stabilizers. We just want to switch between video and stills without having to add extra gear or move the camera away from our eyes.

I am "sidegrading" to this camera from a D300s. Here are my thoughts after shooting both together for a couple of months.The worst thing about the D7000 are its more "beginner friendly" ergonomics. The mode wheel on the D7000 is too easy to turn accidentally. Everything besides A, S, M, U1 and U2 are a waste for me. This could have been the perfect camera if they only made the buttons exactly like a D300s. The live view switch is too easy to hit accidentally with your thumb, especially if you use the AF lock button a lot (like, if you use it to enable autofocus). Its also too easy to accidentally press the DOF Preview button next to the lens mount as your left hand wraps around the lens. I can't imagine why they moved that button from its spot on the higher end Nikons.The one true ergonomic advantage the D7000 has for me are its user modes. This is a HUGE advantage, as the more settings I have to change between shots, the more mistakes I make. I set one of the user modes to manual with auto ISO and mixing ambient shots in with flash shots becomes a total breeze. The smaller size and weight of the D7000 had seemed like it would be a big advantage but it just doesn't feel that great in my hands. I might try the grip to help this. The weight difference between the two is small enough that I don't notice it much and prefer the D300s feel.I had been worried that the buffer on the D7000 would run out too easily. I have never gotten into trouble with this and I shoot in 14 bit RAW. The stuff I shoot (typical Dad stuff, some portraits, some landscapes and long exposures), doesn't really require any burst shots, though.The image quality seems to be about a stop and a half better than a D300s after processing RAW files via Lightroom 3. I would pretty much never go above ISO 800 on the D300s. On the D7000, I will gladly go to 1600 and will use 3200 about often as 800 on the D300s. This is a big deal to me because it seams I can go without a flash about 50% more often.The autofocus and metering are a bit better on the D7000, but not enough for me to really care.Manual focus on the D7000 is easier, as it gives you arrows in the viewfinder telling you which way to turn the focus ring. D300s only gave you a dot for focus confirmation. Manual focus in Live View seems a bit easier on the D7000. I am not sure why, but it feels slicker. Maybe the screen is refreshing faster? The LCDs have identical resolution, so this could be in my head also.I love that the D7000 can use a cheap IR remote. The "remote mode" on the D7000 is still a bit of a mess, in that it disables your normal shutter button, but its worth not having to deal with fancy wireless shutter releases and their ridiculous screw-in cables.So in the end, I like the D7000 better. Image quality and user modes really cinched it for me.

I received the camera today and am already putting it back in the box to return to Amazon. I charged and inserted the battery but the device failed to power-on. More charging, still nothing. Gave it to my wife and brother to make sure I was not missing something important. Nothing. I will be shipping it all back in the morning and expect to receive a replacement. I will update this review if the replacement turns out to actually work.Update #1 - I had a very frustrating customer service experience with an individual who had an inadequate comprehension of English. I believe she was nice and had the best of intentions, but just couldn't understand my issue or the questions I was asking. I had to just end the call.Update #2 - After waiting 12 hours I was able to get in touch with someone based in the U.S. who was able to answer my questions and get a replacement camera shipped to me. This was a very positive experience. I wish all my encounters with customer service could be this good. UPS should be delivering the new camera on Monday.

Between their horrible customer service and their even shoddier product - I've concluded that my jump to Nikon was the biggest mistake I've ever made.I bought a D7000 slightly used (under 2k actuactions) off the FredMiranda forums after selling my Canon 40D and was extremely excited to get a new camera of the quality I had spent weeks researching. Low light performance was my #1 priorority and the d7k was the best in the price range.So finally, my camera arrives. Box looks brand new, body looks absolutely flawless and it was, in fact, under 2k actuactions. AWESOME!Within a few days, I noticed that it would give me random errors writing to either of the Sandisk EXTREME 16gb class 10 cards. The camera becomes unusable until you pull both cards and the battery. Not only that - but the image you were trying to shoot whenever you get the error - is gone. Doesn't exist. Great, as a concert photographer - you get 9 minutes to shoot images - and I'm spending a 3rd of that time now pulling my memory cards and powering down so my nearly brand new sub-par Nikon can continue to shoot.I lived through that until this weekend, when about every 10th image now gives me an error and requires the cards to be pulled/etc. I e-mailed Nikon right away with this problem when I started receiving it, and they told me to send it in and pay them to service it.Yes, you want me to pay you to fix a camera that has been defective since the day it was shipped from your factory? Not only that - you want me to be without a camera for 6 weeks while you diagnose/fix it. I've tried 3 different brands of class 10 SD cards and still get this error - along with lots of other people who made the mistake of buying this body.I plan on slamming this body on every site selling it that I can find. Amazon, B&H, whatever. Also, I will be slamming Nikon on every social media site I'm a part of AS WELL AS never recommending anything be bought from your company.Instead of buying a d7000 - I would recommend to everyone that is looking - buy a $5 paperweight and a 7D. I made the mistake of just buying a $1200 paperweight.

I own a Fuji x100, d300 and a d700, having bought the d7000 as a light backup and toy camera. I admit to having very high hopes for the low light capabilities of this camera and in most ways it lived up to the hype, taking very usable images at iso 3200 in near darkness.I used it for about 3 months off and on for some bar photography and 2 weddings as well as just fooling around with it. In low light it focused very quickly and I was very happy with everything except especially the improved flash metering (metering in general actually, you often have to baby sit the d700 meter in tricky light if you use it). Unfortunately when I looked at the images on my computer it seemed like most of them were WAY too soft for a fast prime. I calibrated all of my lenses on it and tried my damnest to fix the issue and upgraded to the most recent issue but it still SEVERELY backfocused in about every third shot or so, just enough to keep the subject from being sharp enough. I noticed it was worse with my G series pro lenses, my old 85 1.4d seemed to nail every time though.I could have sent it into get fixed but my biggest problem with the camera was the flexability of the raw files and dynamic range at high iso's. At 3200 if it didn't nail the exposure the photo was "difficult" to save and the resulting image would always lose way too much detail and smooth tonal gradation. I already knew i was spoiled by the d700 but the specs said it should have been better than it was.It is a very good camera, but I agree that the focusing issues with this camera and the i guess, "quality of the noise pattern in the raw files at high isos" prevent it from being an acceptable backup to my D700, the D300 is still just more convenient and excellent at low iso.Things I liked:-Handling-Metering-weight and size-felt very well built-video was cool but still not good enough-dual card slots THANK YOU NIKON.Things I didn't like:-no af-on button (which sort of drives me nuts due to personal habits)-Focusing-The noise pattern at high iso (1600-3200+ w/ no NR)resembles a pointilism impressionist painting instead of the more natural film grain look from the x100 and D700 I pretty much only shoot my x100 at between 2200 and 3200 without ever having a quality issue.

I had the Nikon d40 for awhile and heard about the D7000 rumor early 2010. I knew my next dslr would be the D90 or better. What I wanted was the dual scroll wheels and 1980x1080p video recording features and this totally delivered. Also a bump in megapixal and the new cmos sensor with better iso for low lighting would sweeten the deal. I carried over the Nikon 18-200vr, 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.8 from my old D40.Photos:I been shooting this camera since the first week of November 2010 and have taken about 4000 shots/some movie clips. At first I thought the image was a little soft. The poster on this d7000 forum told me how to fixed it in the menu and all is fine now. I am finally getting night shots, when I did night photo stroll with my friends the D40 was too slow and my iso skill back then wasn't great. Since I gotten this I played with almost every buttons and setting and actually shot aperture priority now, I been using the Nikon present for the D40.Movies mode:I am still learning this, getting things to focus on the fly. It does continuous autofocusing, but not as zippy as the Sony A33 I played with. Overall the movies I made are fun, but in no way anything you see on blu-ray 1980x1080p. I find that I do a better job of manual focus and it is much quieter. I plug an external microphone to this and it really is a benefit to filming with audio for less background noise.Positives:+Great photos, Sony newest CMOS is good for low lighting.+Camera Body motor, I have a 50mm 1.8 that I can finally use.+ISO looks very good, once I leave 1600, I can notice some different+more external buttons, entry level camera like the D40 uses the submenu too much.+Bigger body and sturdier magnesium alloy material, I like that in my hands with the rubber insert.+LCD screen is much improved, now I do know if a shot is good or bad.+Live view photography, I don't use it much but I like the option too.+Nikon Service, I called about the stuck pixel in Movie mode, they said wait for the firmware, and it got fixed.+Nikon ViexNX is good for quick adjustment.+1080p 24fps Movie mode with continuous auto-focus(like I said not as zippy as Sony, but much quieter) I made a few youtube videos now.Neutral:Battery is bigger and more expensive then before. I Since I record clip more it is hard to compare to the D40 which just took pictures. I get 350-400 shots before I recharge. Some people claim 1000 shots per charge, but that is not me. My 4000shot hashas 5-6 charges already.Negative:-GPS, if the Sony A55 with the same cmos as this can have one for cheaper, why not the D7000.-I was hoping it be around $1000. The Sony A33 and A55 are much cheaper, with the same cmos.Overall I like the pictures that I got from the D7000, and all the external layout. I can bracket shots with ease, for HDR editing photoshop of course. I don't have to go into the submenu to turn on the remote. I even used the continuous burst for once. The Nikon ViexNX is a good software for quick fix like for contrast and sharpening. It is no way a Lightroom or Photoshop replacement, nope. It can edit video too, but I just use the Window Media player on Win7. I added the SB-700 to this camera and the two work well together, ie the wireless flash. I have/carry this camera around me like a cellphone.

I've owned this camera for nearly 8 months which was my update from a D80. I did side-by-side test shots to compare the iso performance and the D7000 @ 6400 had less noise than D80 @ 1600.The ergonomics of this camera is what sets it apart from all other cameras. I currently have the D3s and sold my D7000. Based on my experience with the D3s, I prepared a list of features that i missed having on my D7000:1) No 1080p video. (D7000 has it)2) No in-camera distortion control. (D7000 has it in the shooting menu as well as the retouch menu)3) No ability to assign active D-lighting to any function button. (D7000 is able to do so)4) In order to do any retouching i need to go the the retouch menu, choose the retouch method first, and then search for the particular photo i need to retouch!! In my D7000 i used to hit the OK button on any photo i'm viewing while in play mode and directly choose the retouch method which makes much more sense and is much faster.5) Auto-focus is not faster than my D7000 using the same lenses! booo :(6) Quite mode is useless. (better on my D7000)7) NO custom settings mode. (D7000 had three!!)It's worth noting that metering & WB accuracy is no better on the D3s than the D7000.The reason i upgraded to the D3s is taking advantage of full frame in terms of superior iso performance. D3s also has more buttons and switches, and it shoots 9-11 fps.So here you have it, I think this camera is perfect.WAKEUP NOTE: Don't expect this camera to take better picture quality than other current models such as the D5100 or the older D90 or even Canon T2i or T3i. Picture quality is nearly identical for all the above! Whether it's 12MP or 18MP that doesn't matter.

I own several Nikon cameras. After looking around, investigating to get a replacement for my old Nikon D70 I decided to go with this D7000.The camera is very well built, I've a mid to large hand, but camera fit and feeling is just perfect. Not too light, not too heavy. Controls are very accessible, better than on my old D70 (not too mention much better than my D50).The fact that you can write on both memories at the same time is something i'm looking to since i almost lost all of my photos of a trip to Italy because of a failure in my Compact Flash memory.In many cases, the fact that the camera is so 'smart' is not so good. I ended up in manual program most of the times... I still don't know if scene recognition is not very accurate, or the pictures I like look like other kind of scene. But the camera itself is amazing.I congratulate myself for this purchase every single day I use this camera.

Family man with kids, D70 was getting limited usage (portrait use only) while the point-n-shoot (with HD video, Pana LX3) was getting more usage. D7000 came in as a great upgrade (the cost part was the most painful one, $1500 with lens) option and I pulled the trigger wheh Amazon had it in stock momentarily last week. Have played with it for a brief 3 days and here are some additional info some of you might be interested in.I debated the kit lens (18-105) vs what I already had from D70 (18-70). The 18-70 is slightly faster, the 18-105 starts at 3.5 max open apperture, and quicks turns to 4.5 at 35mm equivalent. So that was a little bit of an issue I thought. But teh longer zoom range (105mm, which is more like 157mm with 1.5x DX factor) did provide an upgrade option without much weight (18-200 would have been better but is heavier, slightly more $$). But the super silent motor on the lens made it worth the upgrade - as for video taking, the slient motor does play a very useful role. It is just as sharp for a kit lens as you can get. My 18-70 didn't have VR. This one does and I think that is another positive if video shooting is important particularly if you are walking and recording video. So I justified myself with buying the kit lens. I already have the 50mm 1.8 (75mm with DX), for those portrait sessions. Might buy the 35mm 1.8 as my standard lens somepoint in the future.So my lens list would be:1. 35mm/1.8 for most indoor people/kid photo/video.2. 50mm/1.8 for portrait sessions.3. 18-105 (or 18-200) would be for travel/outdoors.The video:With kids around, video shooting is very important. And D7000 delivered that with great results actually - to my surprise. Videos are bright, audio is clear even with the built-in microphone. The kit lens aperture (3.5 max) didn't impact the video quality to be any dark - with ambient light, the quality was great.Photos with kit lens (18-105):The indoor photos came our very very colorful and bright - despite what I had thought of. I realized that D7000 was moving to ISO3200 (my max level under Auto config in the menu) to compensate for the low light. I was worried that ISO3200 would render the picture quality low - grainy. But I must admit - my jaws dropped when I saw that even at ISO3200, the quality is GREAT (16MP do help here), for most print situations (letter size or slightly more). I think, this is really where the D7000 shines the most compared to other prosumre DSLRs of today. I went ahead and changed the AUTO ISO setting to max of 1600, and teh results are still great with the kit lens. With my 50mm or 35mm 1.8 lens, I will move ISO to at most 400, and I am sure I will be more than happy.I will add in more comments as I play with it more.Just one line on the memory cards I am using:I bought two 8GB transcend Class10 SD cards and configured 'duplication' of all photos. So the 2nd card is used by D7000 as a backup (automatic copy). This is a great feature. So far, no issues or delays recording video or photos to these cards. These Class10 cards are not as fast as the SanDisk 30MB/s cards, but I don't see issues in my situations. Combined, they were much cheaper than the SanDisk equivalents.with 8GB at full resolution and FINE JPEG setting, I think the total photos one can take are in the 700-800 range (sorry don't have details in front of me at this time). The default on D7000 was full resolution and 'NORMAL' JPEG, which was yielding higher total photo capacity (1,100 I think).cheersPN

This review is for the D7000 body and the 18-200mm VRII lens (sold separately), not the 18-105mm kit lens.This camera is incredible for it's ease of use, options, richness of renderings and portability. I took it out of the box, charged the battery and left on a 3 week holiday to Europe with the 18-200mm attached and 2 cards, one in each slot. No extra flash, no gadgets, no back-up battery, no manual and no back-up camera. I'm coming off a D60 which was an overall great camera.I probably took 1500 pictures in 3 weeks in every lighting situation and all kinds of weather including, yes, rain. I also used all modes and all scenery configurations. I did not shoot video and I rarely if ever used the flash. Excluding my mistakes, every single picture was sharp, rich and clear. Even at high noon, into the sun, the fast shutter gives you decent pictures.I'm just an amateur when it comes to photography but this camera, with this lens, is just unbelievable. I struggle with the idea that $2K got me this incomparable camera AND the 18-200 lens...how can you beat that?Everything in this camera can be adjusted to suit the user including the flash speed. The Scene modes are brilliant. The light modes are 100% accurate. The menus are incredibly detailed. You can sort pictures in files or by day or week or any other way you want. You can edit pictures on-screen, trim them, experiment with them and then save or delete them. You can shoot RAW or jpeg. You get live mode, a video cam, a real camera body, not plastic. You can use any lens ever built by Nikon. AF is awesome. You can shoot in the dark and in the rain.With regards to the battery, you get a cord and an adapter that plugs right into the wall socket...corded or cord-less...forget the cord and stick to the adapter. WRT battery life, I couldn't get over how long a charge lasts and yes, you can check the status of the battery as well as it's age via the menu. You can easily take 500 pictures on a charge, no problem at all.You also get a USB cable, video cables and Nikon software, the ViewNX2 for Windows or Mac....basic but decent.In short, this is a camera for someone who is interested in photography and wants to take better pictures. It can help an amateur like me achieve a higher level of capability.Buy this camera and just take pictures.

This is my first DSLR camera. I had a SLR in the film days and when the digital era came around I got stuck in the high end point and shoot cameras, and that is all I have had. My daughter took a photography class in high school and had been bugging me to get a DSLR. She would tell me that they take way better pictures and are faster. I started researching and landed on the Nikon D7000 with 18-200 lens. I ordered it up and when it arrived, my first reaction was, WOW...this is nice, high quality all the way. Then I saw the pictures that came out of it, double WOW!!! The pictures blow away any point and shoot I have ever owned, and talk about fast, my son diving midair for the football, press the shutter button....you got it, and a perfect shot at that! The high ISO on this camera is great, pictures up to 6400 look good. The HD video feature is nice. It would have been nice to have more frame rates to choose from in video, but the picture quality makes up for this minor shortfall. This camera is worth every penny.

There are a lot of detailed reviews of this camera on amazon and the rest of the internet written by professionals, so I will keep this short.This is my first DSLR and I love it. Of course there are some things that could be better, but for that you might have to shell out a bit more and get a better model.I read that it's a good camera for beginners and advanced photographers and so far I can totally agree. I sure have not mastered all the functions yet.

Very disappointing to wait and get a defective product the very first day of use. Nikon D7000 with the release shutter which stays high after shooting.Body bought as new with all ready a scratch and a malfunction.It took much more time that expected to get the deliveryI have been using Amazon a lot in the past. It is the very first time that it is so bad.

I have this camera for about a month now and just last weekend (May 7th) I got a first chance to use it, unfortunately.I used it with Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 and Sigma 50-150mm F2.8 lenses on my flight tour over Chicago downtown.As an owner of Nikon D200 I can say that this body is lighter and smaller, which is good and bad.Good part - your bulk load would be not so heavy as with D200. Bad part - if you get used to holding D200 or similar body (D300) then D7000 would feel not so comfy (big) in your hands. Plus, if you have big hands (long fingers) it might not be a very comfortable. But it is something that you can get used to with time.Another, thing that would require getting used to is controls, focusing - D7000 has more focusing points but also it has a bit different setting than D200. If set it up as you like it at first then it should not be an issue, but if you would rely on basic auto focusing (default all 39 points) it might be frustrating because it might focus on something that you do not expect.Well, again - just matter of time to get know this camera and set it up for your self.In regards of quality / sharpness of the image - I got scattered result due to condition of shooting - I was in flying plane with some little turbulence. But when I was standing on air field most of my images were sharp. Just a side note - I shoot RAW (NEF) which would require post editing, including some sharpening.In addition to this part - it all depend on what glass you are using. This factor would contribute to sharpness and brightness of the images - greatly. And you have to remember that each lens has it own "sweet spot" - aperture that would produce sharp images - it is not always F16 or F22.Along with purchasing this camera I purchased 2 32Gb SD class 10 card (Transcend). Unfortunately for me - one card in Slot #1 failed when I was in the air. I tried to resurrect it but ended up removing it and moving card in slot # 2 into #1 slot. But it is not cameras fault. After this everything worked well.Another point that you would need to get used to is buffer size of this camera, especially if you are shooting RAW and with continuous shooting. As to my test in High Speed Continuous shooting camera can store up to 10 RAW images and then it shuts off to unload buffer which takes about 9-10 seconds and this is with class 10 cards.As oppose to D200 which can handle 21 sequential RAW images it might look not enough. But - it is for you to decide if you can live with such buffer.Menus - are similar to D200, so if you a proud owner of this camera then it should not be a problem for you to work with menus.I'm sure there are many other little things that can be found (good and bad) - but it would be just a matter of your own taste.Wish you good luck and have fun with this camera if you are buying it.

I am upgrading from a D5000 which I used for a couple of years and wanted a step up in terms of control, durability and low light shooting. Got this during the thanksgiving sale and this camera beat my expectations...It has a beautiful viewfinder and a big LCD screen. Even the photos you take in Auto mode in low light look great. The battery charge is never ending. Also the two SD card slots is a blessing for me because many times I leave the SD card in my computer and take camera with me. The second SD card saves me :) Overall this a very good SLR for both starters and professionals.

I own the Nikon D80 and was looking for an upgrade camera without breaking the bank. Researched the D7000 and was everything i was looking for and then some.i have owned the D7000 for approximately 3 weeks now. i have taken hundreds of photos since i received it. i went from the D80 10MP to 16MP. At first i thought i was not understanding my camera and these 39 Focus Points compared to the D80's eleven FP.i took some low light/ evening photos and the camera really captured well. i was not using a tripod and i put the focus problem on them being handheld pics. But still had the focus fuzzy issue. I even tried my D80 and it took grainier but crisper photos in comparison.i went camping last weekend with the family and couldn't wait to take some nature/ family photos. Nearly 95% of my photos are terrible and unusable, due to the Back Focus problem. On the camera review screen it is not an issue but once i got home and downloaded 250 pictures it is extremely noticeable focus problems. Group photos had all the front row people out of focus and the scenery 20 foot behind crystal clear.i thought it was user error (new camera/39 FP) But the more i shot and tried different lens, different settings no better.i even let a pro friend of mine try and and she said it is definitely a back focus issue.Conclusion:I LOVED the D7000 compared to my D80 in ergonomics, weight, and screen size.I cannot comment on the optics and picture quality because none of the photos i took came out correct.i am sending the camera back to AMAZON. i hope to repurchase another D7000 soon when they are back in stock. I will give it one more try before completely condemning the D7000.UPDATE 8-13-2012My D7K was stolen in April 2012. I purchased another one in June. It had a focus problem, i say this because i again sent NIKON some test pictures and they confirmed a problem and told me to send it in for repair. I had already returned the camera to Amazon who gave me a refund instead of shipping me a new camera. As of todays date, i have not purchased a new D7k becasue of the back focus issues.

I got my camera last night and played with it for a few hours. It was 5 days from order to receipt even though I ordered on a Saturday and chose Super Saver Shipping. I am seriously in love with the camera. It looks spectacular at higher ISO's and is very fast. I videoed my son eating cereal for the second time and when i replayed the video my wife was amazed how good the sound and clarity of the video was. I had to get used to the new button layout since I have the D5000. I was a little nervous that I got one of those rumored cameras that wouldn't focus properly but it turned out the lens was not quite locked in all the way. Once I fixed that the pictures came out great. I've used my sister's D90 and trust me this is an upgrade. If you can afford this camera you will not be disappointed. I will say that unless you are pretty serious about photography and like playing with your settings this camera may be frustrating because it isn't designed for point and shoot and designed around the idea that the user will be changing settings.

Just sent my body to Nikon for repair after 11 months of use. I put about 20K on it during the past year, doing both video and professional photo work with it.The camera is a backup/DX body to my D700, which is far superior.The D7K is a big advancement from other DX bodies in the Nikon line. It is not particularly well suited for professional use, especially weddings, which I attempted.First, the autofocus is worse than the D300's. By worse, I mean it struggles greatly in low light. Not good for a wedding camera. Consistenly, all my shots of processionals with this camera on Continuous focus have been off. Its tracking abilities in low light are very poor.It's also noisy. Way noisier than the D700. Easily 3 stops. Above 400, it gets very noisy, very quickly.The images are also soft. Even at ISO 100, I am getting images that seem soft. Yes, I'm using a tripod and top-notch optics.Nikon's noise processing really takes a toll on sharpness. Their DX cameras have always had this issue, and the D7000 does little to improve upon it.Color is OK. With some work, you can get good skin tones.Exposure is generally good, but the LCD is very misleading. Use the histogram for your exposure decisions. The LCD is way too bright, even when it is dialed back to -3.The video is excellent. I feel the quality, when using great class like Zeiss, is on par with my Panasonic HMC150. Audio is horrible. Forget it. Buy a Zoom H4N for that. You will also need the Zacuto finder accessory if you plan to do video with this. If you don't use something like that, expect unsharp results. The LCD by itself is nearly useless for focusing.The two big minuses for video: the screen does not articulate. What's with this? Even the cheaper models do that, and of course, Canon.The other issue is no 1080 30p or 60p. You can't do slow motion at 24p.This is a stop-gap body for me. I'm waiting for a D700 with video, and then this will go to the auction. In the meantime, accepting its limitations, it can do a decent job on family photos and some landscape stuff. But compared to the D700, the images are just way softer.

Bought this camera 2 month back. Tried to use "Manual" mode for a couple of days, all the pictures looked rubbish. So thought I am a newbie again in this camera, so started using "Auto" and "Aperture" priority for almost a month. In that whole month, never took a single "wow" photo. All pictures are either "soft", as if it has been washed out or don't know where the focus is. Or when a group picture is taken, everything in the backend is super sharp, but not the people in front. Or if I take a very close up shot, with single focus definitely focused on persons eyes, all his/her hairs will be in super sharp.My gear includes Nikon 24-70mm, Nikon 28-300mm, Nikon 35mm 1.8 prime and a kit lens. To my surprise, kit lens is the only one which is working fine... aahh, yes it is. All my big lenses are junk in this case. Tried all kinds of settings, "Autofocus fine tune" in the camera, adjust "exposure compensation", "AP-S"/"AP-C", "focus lock" .. nope, nothing worked.Called Nikon last week, sent sample pictures, they asked me to send the camera back. I just packed this now, will be sending the box tomorrow, with the money from my own pocket. Will update once they analyzed my camera.Update Jan 28: They got the camera on thursday, got the update of the status online on Friday. As of now its in "Estimate Accepted" which means they verified all my warranty information, I don't need to pay anything. Next itCamera : Category - B1 Minor parts replaced Problem - Focus, BackFocusing, to GWOLens 24-70 : Category-Single price complete repair (******don't know what the heck is this) Problem - Focus, Backfocusing, Clean and CheckLens 35mm prime: Category B2 Major parts replaced Problem - Focus, Backfocus, Clean and CheckUpdate Jan 31: The camera status is 'in shop', which means they probably would be sending it today or tomorrow.

I bought this camera in Dec 2010 from Amazon. Right out of pack it has an "Err" message and camera simply would not take any pictures or videos.I should have returned the camera, a huge mistake I did not. Thought it's a minor config issue or a firmware issue, fiddled with the cards (format, etc), switch on & off, after a long try by random accident the error disappeared.Camera works fine for 2 months or so, same "Err" issue again. This time took it to a local Nikon authorized camera repair shop. They said the spring mount was out of spec, they fixed it. Camera works for few weeks, then Err issue resurfaces. Took to another Nikon authorized dealer, they could not repair it and sent it to Nikon Support.They put a bunch of new parts, shutter, aperture units, etc. I get the camera. It's my daughter's 5th birthday. I took a few pictures and video, but right when her friends are singing happy birthday and she looks so beautiful surrounded by her friends and family and ready to blow the candle.. bamb "Err" ghost resurfaces. It could not have happened at a worst time. As before nothing would fix it. Had to settle for some basic iPhone pictures and not to mention to deal with a very disappointed wife and kids, embarrassment in front of guests, etc.Called Nikon support this time to replace the damn camera as I can't trust with their repair, I doubt how well they test their fixes before they ship it to customer. Can't take the repeated down time & missed priceless opportunity to shoot pics on special occasions. Nikon support said they only repair for replacement I have to contact their corporate customer service. Which I did and was placed on a long hold twice, customer agent would simply say send it to us, we will decide what needs to be done. When asked to talk to the manager/supervisor, the guy just put me on a long hold and I never got connected to the manager.Pros: Good low light pictures & videos when it works. Rich feature sets.Con: Very Unreliable Terrible Nikon Support and Customer Service. They should be really named Customer NO support and Customer NO Service. Had to be without a camera on a cruise & daughter's 5th birthday.This is an ongoing fight, Nikon can probably replace this camera after a protracted fight, but they can never replace the priceless lost opportunity to shoot on special occasions or vacations.Now that I look around, there are several threads on this problem:forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1034&message=37334750nikonians.org/forums/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=329&topic_id=2802&mesg_id=2802&page=

- As a still camera, this is a wonderful piece of equipment, and I have no complaints.- As a video camera, the D7000 is a continuing source of frustration to me. Key issues are the following:(1) The 20-minute recording limit is a major limitation. This should be increased to the capacity of the card, or at least to 60 minutes.(2) The camera has several microphone sensitivity modes. One of these sets the level automatically, which would be very convenient if it worked. The problem with this mode is that the camera tends to set the sensitivity too high, producing saturation and distortion.(3) When one uses the internal microphone, there is a fairly high level of noise from the auto-focus.(4) When one uses a monaural external microphone, the camera should reproduce the input in both channels, but does not (one channel remains empty).(5) When using an external microphone and a mixing board to reproduce the signal in both channels, there is intermittent electrical noise. (The volume of the noise is high enough to impact the intelligibility of spoken audio, i.e., this is not just an issue for music recordings). I don't hear the noise if I plug headphones directly into the mixing board, and that same output is being fed to the camera, so it's fairly clear that the noise is being generated by the camera itself.To summarize, this is a great still camera, but not fully usable as a video camera.
