Going from a D50 to this is like going from driving a Honda to an Audi. While the Honda is good and dependable, the Audi gets you there faster, easier and in a better mood. That's the D7000.Pros:two command wheelseasy and available controls; not a lot of menu divingGREAT in low light100% viewfinderU1 and U2 customizable user modesTwo SD card slotsCons:Can stand to use a little more max sync when using off-camera flash (the max for the D50 was 1/500, but that was a product of its mechanical shutter).

I'm a previous user of Nikon D90 and it was just perfect ... NIkon D7000 is awesome and the senor especially at night and low light conditions is fantastic . But the picture ratio and quality is still equal to Nikon D90 or in some areas is below D90 or i guess it is just my eyes that got used to the D90 view !!!anyway , it is a good camera and worth of buying .

I like my D7000 which i bought recently. I am a Singaporean and used my nephew's address in Houston to purchase this. I didn't know that it does not come with international warranty. And even the registration of product and product downloads everything from US based websites. It would have been nice if I were given a freedom to register with local Nikon website to enjoy local events & news.Anyway I love my Nikon D7000. Hope it will give me fantastic results in my shootings....Cheers

I own this camera and a cannon rebel 7d. The cannon costs more, is less true to life, does not have as many focus points and cannot match this for quality. However, this camera sucks on ease of use. My wife can pick up my cannon and understand it. This I had to many times open up the giant manual in order to use it properly. I love Nikon, but this camera could use an overhaul on the user interface. Though, bang for you buck, this is a really great camera for those semi professional photographers. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great camera.

I love this Camera, I originally wanted the D800 but was not available for sooo long, so I decided to save some cash and buy the 7000. I am very pleased with my purchase. My pictures come out great, it's still a learning process for me, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. It handles well in low light situations. If the iso is not set high enough, it will pause for about 5 seconds trying to create the image, then it would end up being a fuzzy unusable image. It's great for diverse shooting. Portraits, landscapes, events, etc. You will love the magazine quality images this camera produces.

Good camera, came fast. Put it right to work when I got it. It was an upgrade from the D5000 and D3100 before that.I shoot videos and photos so I needed an upgrade without breaking the bank. This is only the beginning.Advise: if want to upgrade you CANNOT go wrong with this. If you decide to later upgrade again, the retail value is good as well. Go out get a decent lens and shoot.Go shoot!!! It's all about the visionary not-so-much the camera.

Focus is a joke. I have to manually focus the camera THROUGH live view to get exactly what I want. If I try to take pictures via the viewer, it would not match what I saw.I, at first, blamed it on the new lens I got (1.4 Sigma 30mm)- then it also wasn't doing well with my two other lenses (1.8 nikkor 35mm and 3.5 18-135mm). I then tested the 1.4 lens with my OLD D80 camera, it worked beautifully.After over a month of frustrations (and lost images), I gave up and returned the D7000.STAY away from that model.

First let me start by saying I not a professional photographer. I would consider myself an enthusiast that in the past few years have stepped up to DSLR's and Micro 4/3 cameras. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these D7000's and use it for an entire weekend a few weeks ago. My previous camera prior to the D7000 was a Panasonic Lumix GH1. I loved that camera especially the video capabilities but I sold it in anticipation of the new Panasonic Lumix GH2 being released. Then Panasonic started to delay the release and I desperately needed a camera so I decided to purchase the Nikon D7000 instead. I figured if I liked it I would simply keep it and pass on the Panasonic Lumix GH2.So here are my impressions after a full weekend shooting a birthday party and baptism.PROs- Feels great in your hand, atleast for me. My wife did not care for this beast of a camera.- Low Light Shooting was absolutely incredibly. I noticed this shooting inside a church. Best ever!- Picture quality was also excellent. I had many compliments on the photos after the weekend.- Has Autofocus motor for NON AF-S Lenses so if you have old Nikon lenses this is a plus.- 2 SD memory card slots. Kinda cool. Not sure how much I need it but I like the concept if I want to use 1 slot as backup.- Speed of the camera was ridiculously fast when taking pics thru the viewfinder! Incredible.- You can do a lot of in camera editing of photos which is really neat.- Bracketing feature is cool, especially if you're not a pro like me.All in all from a picture standpoint I don't think I could have been happier.Cons- Autofocus in Video was down right terrible! It's slow and sometimes never resolves and you get stuck with a blurry video. Nikon needs a lot of work here still. Plan on using Manual AF. Continuous Autofocus on this is more of marketing thing.- In liveview mode picture taking is impossible. So SLOW! Not big of a deal for me but my wife likes the liveview.- No articulating screen. Why not? All other cameras have an articulating screen, even entry level dslr's now.Summary:If you simply want a top notch camera and don't mind lugging around a decent size DSLR this is a great camera. If you want a nice camera, smaller footprint, but better video capabilities then go with the Panasonic Lumix GH1 or upcoming GH2.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043VE27Y/ref=cm_cr_asin_lnkIf you choose the Panasonic you sacrifice on the low light performance but get superior video results and it's a much smaller camera and lenses.Ultimately I sold my D7000 because I could not get past the poor implementation of Continuous Autofocus for video. Some will say that is ridiculous but when my main objective of using this is taking pictures of my family which includes 2 little ones I prefer a properly working continuos autofocus feature over manual anyday. In addition I want 1 device to take my pics and videos and the Panasonic GH2 should fit the bill perfectly if Panasonic could ever start shipping them. My wife also prefers the size and weight of the Panasonic over the Nikon. If I have to wait any longer I may have to go look at a Canon T2i or 60D and start all over again!

The decision to get this camera (d7000) and a couple cheap lenses (Nikkor 18-55mm VR & the Nikkor 50mm 1.8) versus the cheaper body (d5100) and a higher end Nikkor lens was a tough one. I spent at least a month researching and reading about both models. Love the vari-angle LCD on the 5100, and i was almost married to that. A photographer friend of the family recommended the D7000 and i began to be more and more interested in it, the more i learned about it. The key differences in this camera really make it stand out as being more user friendly to an amateur photographer who is beyond the point & shoot level. I realized what frustrated me most in my Canon point & shoot was how difficult and clunky it was to toggle around the in-camera menu system to change my exposure settings when shooting in Manual mode. This camera makes adjusting your exposure a breeze. The picture quality is impressive, and although i have only shot the above mentioned 2 Nikkor lenses with it so far, i am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to purchase a lens with a better zoom range, and put it to the test. I am no expert or professional by any means; this is my first DSLR, and i can't express how glad i am that i went with this camera over it's cheaper counterpart. I went to some big box stores and played with each model, which took awhile, because they were hard to find. I would recommend picking it up and trying it in-store if you are unsure about which camera to purchase. I finally purchased the d7000 after finding the cheapest price i could get online, without sacrificing vendor reliability (there were some very shady looking sites selling this camera for about the price of the D5100). Battery life is great, picture quality is wonderful, and once you get accustomed to the menu system and get a feel for the button layout on the camera body, it's a joy to shoot with. The heft/ weight of the camera feels nice and solid in the hand (i just couldn't get over how light and small and plastic-y the d5100 felt). I didn't purchase this camera for video use, so i don't have much to say on that subject, although i was quite happy with what video i have shot so far, (just casual short clips while on vacation). Coming from pure point & shoot experience i was a bit intimidated, but warmed up quickly to the feel of the camera. It's sexy, no doubt about it! Highly recommend it!

I bought this camera as it had very high ratings and after about 2000 pictures I can say that it lives up to those ratings. If youplan to buy this camera I would advise the purchase of a good book on the Nikon D7000 to make up for its manual. This a complicated camera and books by Darrell Young and David Busch can speed up the initial setup. The camera is very good forusing older Nikon lenses even those that focus manually. I have used digital cameras for several years and this D7000 easilybeats anything I have used before.

Like the title says, I will be returning my D7000. I don't want to return for another in hopes of getting a "good one" out of the bunch. I read of the backfocus issue in the reviews, but since the positive reviews far outweighed the negative reviews and since I purchased this in June 2012 (well after initial releases would have sold out) I felt confident I would not experience the problem. Both my 50mm 1.8D, and 35mm 1.8G will not focus tack sharp despite maxing out the auto focus fine tuning to -20 (improved when making the adjustment, but not sharp). My 18-200 is the best so far, but also not tack sharp despite adjustment. I'm stopping there. Side by side comparisons with my D90 shows the problem is not with my lenses, as the D90 shots look great. This is a real downer as I was looking forward to the D7000 and its host of new/improved features (when compared to the D90). For anyone about to make the purchase I say do so with caution, and make sure you test thoroughly while you are still in your return period. Such a unacknowledged problem in a camera at this price point is simply inexcusable.

I recently ordered the D7000 as a replacement for my D80. Absolutely loving it. If you're looking for a good advanced amateur camera, it's worth considering.The control layout is convenient and makes it easy to get to all of the adjustments you want to make. If you're the kind of photographer who regularly assumes control of ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and uses various options like mirror lockup, and only occasionally will use a "scene mode," this is very convenient. If on the other hand you're the type who likes the camera to make most of the decisions and only occasionally wants to assume full control, you might prefer something like the D3100 or D5000. The photos will be nearly as good; what you're getting is convenience and some upgraded features on the D7000.Image quality is excellent, and the camera includes some new features, like the ability to autocorrect lens distortion. When matched with a modern Nikon lens, the D7000 receives information that allows it to automatically adjust pincushion and barrel distortion. It's convenient and works pretty well. If you're shooting RAW mode and plan to enter a contest, I'd say making your own adjustments in Photoshop is better. But if you're on a more casual shoot, it's a nice feature to switch on to save a lot of processing work later.Whatever camera you buy, make sure you purchase a good lens. I would recommend buying only the body, and then getting good glass. If you're on a limited budget, a $600 lens on a $600 camera is better than a $200 lens on a $1000 camera.The one downside of the D7000 is the video performance. It's a cute gimmick, but honestly, SLR's just aren't ideal for video, at least not with today's technology. I don't really care, as I don't use video much. It's nice to have in a pinch, but if you're big on video plan on getting a dedicated video camera or good point-and-shoot.

I have used a D700 before and also a D80 and D90. This is very close to the D700 in low light and although I shoot in RAW for editing later it is great to be able to simultaneously shoot JPEGs, processed for a little saturation and sharpening in-camera and fire them off in email or post to the Web with zero other processing. This camera is head and shoulders above the D80 and D90; especially for low-light. I can shoot ISO 6400 and have very useable images. With some noise reduction in camera or post-processing they are really great and it allows that much more flexibility in low-light.Another thing I love about this camera is it gets the exposure right nearly every time! It's impressive. I often flipped from aperture priority to manual on the D80 to get it right. I can't believe the camera is so much lighter than the D700 either. I really love this thing. My most frequent setting which works for what I do much of the time is to aperture priority with the Auto-ISO set to ISO 100, shutter speed 1/125 and Max ISO 6400.I like that there is a custom menu, My Menu, for easy access to options I use all the time. I like that I can assign the Fn button to Picture Control and switch between Vivid and Portrait in under a second.With such a capable camera and with the HDR craze these days I am a little surprised it only does 3 shots for bracketing but 3-5 shots is all you really need. If you want 5 you have to do those other 2 manually. That is why I gave it 4 stars in performance. Otherwise I just love this thing.The HD video works well but you will hear that autofocus going unless you have an external mic or turn off autofocus/use a manual focus lens. I bought this for stills but the video is still handy once you remember you have that capability.There are probably 5 more things I love about this camera but can't recall without it in my hands. Anyhow, if you are on the fence. Jump off and get it. It's true the camera does not make the photographer but this one sure helps. Since upgrading from the D80 people tell me how much they like my photos and I think some of it is attributable to the warmness of portraits shot in the low-light this thing can do. Unconsciously people are probably identifying how these quality photos differ from their pop-up flash facial blow out shots.

I debated for a long time on whether or not I should upgrade because I wasn't sure the cost of a new body would change the way I shoot much; most definitely, I was wrong! I've been doing weddings and bridals for about 5 yrs and loved my d80, it did everything I needed, so I thought. After spending hours online comparing advantages and cost versus the D80, D300 and d7000 and the d700, I finally took the plunge and got the D7000 (I also do events and wanted the Hi ISO). This camera is so much more than Higher ISO! It is...Fast.For lack of a better word, Fast means everything happens so fast it makes shooting more intuitive. The higher ISO has changed the way I shoot because I can turn off my sb-800 speedlight and just use natural light. In the past, i wouldn't dream of attempting some indoor or evening shots without a flash and umbrella or other diffuser. But now, low-light images are no longer a "risky" shot and they turn out beautiful every time. (Yes, I rely first on good glass, from f/1.4 to 1.8 in primes and the $$$ lenses, 70-200 Vii 2.8 and 24-70 2.8).The change in how I shoot was more pronounced than I ever thought. A few reviewers said the advantages were negligible, so i was pessimistic about trading in the d80. After using the d80 as backup to the 7000 in the real world, i eventually had to sell it because switching between the two is SUCH a drag, it annoyed me, they shoot so differently. (not to knock the d80, it WAS a great camera).If you are on the fence about the benefits of a DSLR body with fancier insides, just try it and you will feel the difference. I learned early on to spend more on my glass than my camera bodies, but the move from D80 to d7000 was worth every penny.

Excellent performing DX camera. This camera, while likely fine for a beginner, will be more helpful for a more advanced photographer who can grasp a lot of its features. It has multiple ways of tweaking options and camera functions. It has two user customizable modes that allow you to reliably reproduce your favorite camera setups with just the twist of a mode dial. There is a user customizable "My Menu" feature so you can find you most often used options, like for instance Auto-ISO (which adjusts the ISO so your shutter speed never falls below a preset that you have set).The D7000 is a revelation in High ISO performance compared to my D200; even with pixel peeping, well exposed ISO 3200 pictures take minimal chroma noise reduction to look extremely clean. I think this D7000 is at least 2 stops better than my D200 and at least 4 stops better than my Canon S95 point and shoot. Related to this, it has great dynamic range when shot in RAW.Autofocus and flash performance are excellent as far as I am concerned. It has a wireless flash commander mode, which is very useful for speedlight owners. The Nikon flash system is quite excellent and flexible, I find. Couple flashes with the excellent higher ISO performance, and you can really maximize what you are able to light with flash.The body itself seems well built, though there is a bit of flex in the hand grip portion.Minimal complaints, other than the grip flex and perhaps the metering blows highlights a little too readily.I definitely recommend it for Nikon DX users, certainly for those upgrading cameras that are more than a generation old, like my D200.

I am actually writing this review on 6/6/2012, It looks like i had deleted the original review and for what ever reason Amazon has set this up so that if you REPOST a review for the same item it posts it on the date you originally posted it on. Anyway.I love it my D7000! Nothing beats this camera for the price. I gave it 4 stars because unfortunately there is no "perfect" camera. The fact is that newer technology most of the time brings more bugs with it. 16MP is already high enough, personally i dont need anything higher than that, i don't even have it set to 16MP, i usually put it in 9MP or lower. I don't print LARGE prints, and i certainly don't get paid for it.Anyway, the reason why i have posted this info is to let everyone that owns a D7000 to try something that i read in an online forum. I just followed what they said, reset EACH menu settings WITHIN the menus in the camera and do a couple other simple things. I just did it myself right before i typed this info for you and i will test my camera within the next couple of days, starting today, and i will post the results of this simple procedure. By the way, this information was given by a Nikon Technician. Here is the short and simple procedure, Good luck everyone i hope it works and please post your comments to see the overall results. Here you go:Reset all and EACH of the menu system to default settings. Then turned off the camera. While off, press the two green buttons at the same time Holding them down, use another finger to turn the camera on. The camera will then blink after two seconds, then shut it back off while holding down the buttons(basically you never let go of the two green buttons).UPDATE AS OF 6/8/2012:After performing the above reset, I have ALSO calibrated all my lenses with AF Fine Tuning and it looks like it really worked!! I am very happy, i have been testing the camera for about two days so far, and focusing the same way i was before when getting the back focusing, and so far it looks VERY VERY GOOD. The camera seems to be focusing exactly where it should be compared to before, i am seeing a BIG diffence specially in low light. This is very good news! Bottom line: Even if you do all the above you still HAVE to know which AF setting AND metering mode you have to use depending on what scenario you are in. The camera DOES NOT do this automatically for you.

I am buy no means a profesional photographer so please keep this in mind when reading this brief reveiew. I have owned the D7000 for just about a year now and the best way I can some it up is simply; the more I use this camera the more I enjoy using it. It seems that every time I pick up the camera I learn somthing new that makes my photos come out better. My first DSLR was the D3000 with the kit lens, I was told the D3000 was a great starter camera and would take some time to out grow. Well simply put after about three months with the D3000 I was bored and was tired of the slow AF, very grainy photos at medium to high ISO, cumbersome menu etc....I think you get the point. When I first purschased the D7000, pulled it out of the box and tried to decipher the owners manual I was a little overwhelmed, However it made me take my time, read articles and get some dummy books for this camera. Over all it has really pushed me to be a better photographer. I have taken steller photos with the kit lens of scenery, night shots and protraits and have no complaints so far (the only reason I get a bad shot is due to operator error). D7000 is much easier to change WB, ISO, Shutter speed,F stop, Metering and other functions on the fly (NOT THE CASE WITH THE D3000). Not to mention the 6 FPS, which is fun to have at your disposal, man I love this camera! In conclusion:1.) After a year of using the D7000 I am still learning about the features and functions2.) Still enjoy using the camera as well as the photo's I take3.) Enjoy the Kit Lens just purchased the 50mm F/1.8 D lens and MAN took my photos to to a new level)If your wavering on whether or not to spend the money on this camera I PROMISE, you will not regret it. I regret being cheap and settling on the D3000 and wasting 400 bucks! Not to mention the D7000 is a well built camera with great weather sealing.... I hope this helps

Firstly, I have to say that I am very impressed with Amazon's customer service.I have been buying from Amazon for several years, but never had to call customer service or return anything until my D7000 purchase. I am very impressed with the ease and transparency of the return process. This is what all online retailers should strive to achieve.Background - I've used a D90 with a Nikon 18-200 lens extensively, and found the results to be excellent.Now regarding the D7000.I purchased the D7000 body with a Nikon 18-200 lens. As soon as I began to take pictures I noticed that the focus was a bit off and the colors seem to appear washed out and bland. I tried the camera in bright sunlight, indoors - low light, room lighting, flash etc, nothing seemed to help. I read the manual from cover to cover, and for the longest time, I assumed that I was doing something wrong. For about 2 weeks, I systematically changed and reset various controls, sharpness settings, white balance etc nothing seemed to help. Finally began to search the online reviews and forums, and found that this seemed to be a problem with certain units and it seems that Nikon has been slipping on quality control.Incidentally, I came upon a Wolf Camera store while traveling through Sarasota FL and had a chance to speak with the sales people and play with the display until in the shop. I immediately realized that I had a bad until, and my experience was not necessarily a problem with D7000 model in general.I returned bad D7000 to Amazon and purchased another D7000. This second unit performs flawlessly. I am very impressed with the camera and features. Exploring and learning to use all the capabilities will be journey.

IMHO to get the best out of this camera...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LIGHT...you need good glass. And you need to tweak the settings,especially the sharpness. If you use kit lenses on this thing, and keep its original settings, your pictures will come out softer, and for the most part, no better than the d90's (or d300 or d300s) pics at their out of the box settings.And when I say good glass, I mean f2.8 lenses or better. (except THE 24-70 2.8 it needs vrII...LIKE YESTERDAY) For example the tokina 11-16mm 2.8 (lost it in a rental car..still got the empty box though only dx lens worth buying GET IT NOW WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR), 50mm 1.2 manual (got it.. HYPERDYNE OPTIMAL SUPER DYNAMIC LEGACY glass, sharp at f2, canon owners use it with adapter) 70-200mm 2.8 vrII (got it too all I can say is WOW...BAM....POW!!!!!!) VIVITAR (yes VIVITAR... they still exist) 85mm 1.4 manual (CREAMY CREAMY CREAMY bokeh on the CHEAP GO TO THE FLICKER SITE IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME....ect..ect....Are you new to the slr game??? This aint the place to start. Remember this camera is in many ways superior to the D300S. And if you're the type of person who uses flash and shoots in good light most of the time, then skip this camera.If you're the type of person who thinks " hey this is a newer camera than the d90....I should get better pictures out the box" you're in for a very rude awakening. SO MUCH SO YOU MIGHT EVEN RETURN THE CAMERA!!!It is a more complex machine with more settings which in term requires a higher learning curve than a d300s.It requires more time and effort on your part (initially) to get better pictures than a d300s.It also requires better glass in low light which results in better pictures at higher iso's.ITS A WANNABE D700......IT DOESN'T SUCCEED...BUT IT COMES CLOSE..but you need to work the inner guts of the camera's settings.. which is a good thing...makes me a better photographer.My only complaint is the camera buffer in burst mode is inferior. Here's a fact. This camera has a dxo mark equal to the D700, and the canon 5d mk II. For about a grand cheaper. Keep that in mind.Update........Hint...... to get really sharp pics.....lower your iso, use a tripod , go to manual mode, minimize shutter speed, the extensive dynamic range of this camera will take care of itself. And by the way the video is excellent on this camera.....check out the vimeo wEbsite for proof.MANUAL CONTROL OF ISO IS SO IMPORTANT, THE CAMERAS AUTO SETTINGS PICK ISO IN ACCORDANCE WITH SHUTTER SPEEDS AND F STOPS......SO WITH A CROPPED SENSOR YOU WILL TEND TO SEE LESS SHARP PICTURES AT HIGHER ISOS.

I upgraded from the Nikon D40 and I must say that I'm very satisfied...the d7000 provides a really sharp vibrant photo and awesome videos.

I just purchased a new Nikon D7000 16.2 MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with a 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR-ED Nikkor Lens on May14,2012 from Amazon.com. This camera is very useful in my work as a Photojournalist,Wedding Photographer and Event Photographer, as I can utilize the 2 Twin SD Card Slots for several effects, Sometimes for Overflow,when I can keep shooting, and when card 1 fills up it will keep on storing images on card 2. Sometimes as a Backup, when I may need to give a copy to a Client. Or simply when I need to shoot photos on 1 card and videos on card 2. Another great feature for this camera is tha 100% viewfinder, what you see is what you get! And also this camera body is more rugged on the top and bottom. I love the Nikon MB-D11 Battery Grip for Vertical shooting and for having an extra EN-EL 15 battery for extended shooting between charges. My Nikon D7000 is a perfect fit for my Photography Lifestyle!

I've been a Nikon DSLR user for about 6 years now. I've used pretty much all of the pro-sumer and semi-pro DSLRs Nikon has released, and I have to say this one is the best yet. The D300 will get you some extra ruggedness and some extra buffer space if you're a sports photographer, but in all other areas the D7000 has it beat.The low light performance on this camera is beyond excellent. I think that's probably one of the biggest factors to consider in purchasing this camera. I find it comfortably usable up to ISO 3200. Maybe stop 1t 1600 if you're planning to print very large and look at it very closely. In any case, this is the only crop sensor camera I know of that can perform this well in low light. A friend of mine has a Canon 5D MkII, and I feel the D7000 gives it a run for its money with regard to low light performance.Some people have complained about soft focus with this camera, but I can't replicate that. I'm guessing those people either got a body that needs adjustment by Nikon, need to have their lenses calibrated, or don't have a very good technique. Remember, this is 16MP on an APS sensor. It's going to be very unforgiving of a wobbly posture on exposures below 1/125. What you might have been able to pull off handheld on your D80 or D90 you may not be able to do anymore without improving your technique. The pixel density makes a difference. Cheaper lenses will also produce worse results than they did on older bodies for the same reason. That said, don't worry about lenses like the 18-200mm VR II (it's gotten some scrutiny with the D7000), it works fine unless you're pixel peeping deeper than it's worth looking. This camera also has its own focus motor so you can use older (but still oustanding) lenses like the 85mm f/1.4D.In any case, this camera is a must buy for the pro-sumer or semi-pro. Definitely consider this even if you think the D300s is more appropriate. You might be surprised.

Despite the purported reliability of this camera, the shutter broke at 18,000. It scratched the sensor as it broke so repair bill was $630. If you do buy this camera, I would suggest an extended protection plan.

Overall this is a good camera body.I moved to this from a D90 and the similarity of controls was nice. This greatly reduced the learning curve.I like the added pixels as compared to the D90. This helps when I do 22" X 17" prints.However, when I did tight shots at F2.8 on both my main lenses - Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom and the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens (These are both VERY good lenses.) I noticed the focus looked shifted back from the indicated focus point. Example: I set the focal spot on an eye and the really sharp focus was located several inches further back on the head.Fortunately, the D7000 has an AF "calibration" function that permits you to shift the AF focus either closer to or further away from the camera (+ or - 20 positions) on both a global basis for all lenses or for each lens individually. I executed some tests and sure enough, I had to do a "-4, global" to get the focal plane to align with the focal spot on both lenses.Now things are fine but I'm surprised that a higher level body like this required this adjustment.

This camera has met all that I had hoped for. I also have D3000 which will now be my backup. I have been an amature photo nut for over 52 years. This camera provides an amazing array of capabilities and to be able to use my older AF Nikon lenses was the driving facror. It is feature rich and I am sure I have not examined 60% them. Everytime I use it I find something I like.

I bought the D7000 and a Fotodiox lens adapter hoping I could use a couple of lens I have from an old SLR film camera. I knew it was a gamble with the adapter because I had read where it worked okay and others said not to waste your time. My experience was that the lenses fit the camera fine with the adapter but the picture quality left a lot to be desired. I could not use the old lenses.The D7000 is a fine camera and I found that although I had never used a Nikon or a DSLR before, I felt very comfortable with the camera and the controls after a relatively short period of time. To me, this camera is a masterpiece of photographic engineering.The kit lens, on the other hand falls way short of the camera. To put this lens on this camera is like putting some old bias ply tires on a Ferrari. You could still drive the Ferrari but you would not come close to getting out of the car what the manufacturer put into it. So it is with this camera and lens combination.If your budget is around $1,400 for a camera I would recommend buying something cheaper like the Nikon D5100 and buying a good prime lens from Tamron or find something on Ebay. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of older Nikon lenses available on Ebay.In summary, the camera is outstanding. Unless you're a pro who needs the full frame sensor have some special requirements, I would say that you couldn't do better for the price than the D7000.I reluctantly returned the camera to Amazon. Amazon's customer service was, as usual, outstanding.

The D7000,if you owned older versions of NIKON's like a D40,D50,D60,D70,D90,etc., the D7000 will blow you away with all the great features. It is a 100 pounds in a 1 pound package! Yes, its that good and so easy to use.Nikon has built one of the most amazing cameras ever at an cost effective price. It will out do Nikon's high end Pro products at twice or more the price.At 16.2 million pixels you can read any Professional review out there and you too will be amazed at what the D7000 can do for you.If you know nothing about camera's and want the best, the D7000 is the choice! Nikon has just made it easy for the beginner,the hobbiest and even the Pro to use. You can switch on the "live view switch" (which closes the viewfinder eyepiece)and lets you use the large 3 inch monitor to see what you are shooting at, great for shooting over growds at parades,etc.For the beginner Nikon has the "Auto Setting Mode" but has also incorperated their "Scene Mode Setting". This mode lets you set up and choose one of 19 scene modes. You can select Portrait,Landscape,Sunset or Child,etc and all the work is done for you. Just push the shutter release button and you will get pictures and professional results everytime.If you are well informed and know how to use a single lens reflex digital camera, then you will be impressed with the U1 & U2 modes. You can customize your settings(great function)by simply turning the mode setting dial to U1/U2.If your into movies, you will, at 16.2 million pixels get some of the best movies ever. The D7000 has dual SD cards and a HDMI mini pin connector output that attachs directly to your 1080 HD TV (cable not included).I could go on and on, but just go check it out for yourself, you too will be amazed of what the D7000 can do!

I received this item and started taking pictures immediately. After looking at the pictures in Photoshop I wasn't satisfied at all. I have a D300s and got that camera out of my bag. Next I shot the same photo with the same lenses with both cameras. The D300s at 12.3 megapixels is a much better camera and the RAW files are much crisper. If this is the replacement camera for the D90, Nikon did a really poor job. Since it hasn't been 30 days I have returned this camera. It appears that Nikon's quality has taken a serious drop. Next time I'll be doing a lot more research before getting another Nikon camera.Thanks to those of you who rated this like it is.

Well, I'm still discovering a lot of functions... but here 10 key points.1) In terms of QUALITY is amazing for its price. Everything is very professional, good materials, looks pro, feels pro.2) PHOTO, I always loved Nikon and I still prefer Nikon over other brands. They keep on improving.3) VIDEO, the HD quality is amazing, my only complain is that it has no 30 FPS in 1080p, only in 720p. I use it often in 24 FPS so I don't mind, but it's a flaw if you want to shoot content for TV in the highest quality/size. I hope they can upgrade it some day through firmware.4) It's a little HEAVY with the 18-200 lens, but it's ok for its size/functions. It's average.5) It's one of the few cameras in the market with a built-in INTERVALOMETER. A few days ago I was shooting a time lapse and it came out perfect, very easy to set from the menu.6) I love the TWO CARDS slot for back up. Very convenient. Or you can also use it for JPG + RAW.7) The TWO WHEELS system is fantastic and very customizable. For example, you can define that in (A)perture mode, you will use one wheel to set aperture (shutter speed comes automatically), and the second wheel to set ISO, or something else.8) It has many customizable functions in different buttons (virtual horizon, same use than the bubble in the tripods), a new button: preview the depth-of-field, etc.9) They compare it with the Canon 60D but I'd say it's comparable with the 7D. In some things the 7D is a step above, but in others the Nikon is way better.10) Lots of alternatives for metering and focus, combinations from a single spot to a 3D tracking, from one point of focus to 39 points. Depending on photo/video, what kind of scene, how many subjects and how fast they move, you have a bunch of combinations. Or just do it completely manual.It's a great alternative to Canon 60D/7D/5D for pro level HD movies. I compared it to the 7D for a long time, and I finally chose the D7000 for quality and similar functions, but much cheaper. The rest of the money just save it, buy audio stuff like the Zoom H4n @ $299, or put it in more lenses (like the new 50mm 1.8/G @ $219. I don't regret and I'm loving it!

After shooting with this for the last 4 months I'm getting to the point where it's getting easier to find my way around the myriad features and settings with this awesome piece of machinery. The only camera that I wish I had more is the D800 it's that good. It feels good in your hand. It dusts itself off (the sensor). In raw it delivers detail that you can't even see until you run it through ACR. In HDR it delivers close to what your eye sees and more if you want it. Coupled with Nik software you have an orchestra. Worth every penny.
