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.

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.

After reading the reviews on Amazon and other places, and checking for problems I decided to get this DSLR. I have noticed no problems that have been described in a few forums.

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.
