The D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only) from Nikon is the ideal camera for those who want the best that Nikon has to offer without jumping into the ring (and price range) of professional DSLRs. It is a powerful, durable, well-designed camera that takes incredible photos and is also geared for those who want to shoot high quality video with a level of control not found in other mid-class DSLRs.
The 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS sensor works together with Nikon's EXPEED 2 image processor to produce extremely detailed images with rich tones and smooth gradations. The EXPEED 2, designed by Nikon, enables faster processing of images, reduced power consumption, improved noise-reduction and better color reproduction. And by expanding the ISO sensitivity range to a 25600 ISO equivalent, low-light photography is more detailed and fast -moving subjects can be captured with more accuracy and less blur.
The D7000 offers a customizable 39-point AF system with nine center cross-type sensors for accurate and extremely fast autofocus across the entire sensor. The AF system works in collaboration with an incredible metering system. The 2016-pixel RGB sensor with a 3D color matrix is able to recognize a subject's shape and position for improved AF tracking as well as an optimized Scene Recognition System which better controls exposure, white balance and iTTL flash.
Accurate it is, but fast too. With a start-up time of 0.13 seconds, 50 milliseconds lag time and 6 frames per second burst shooting up to 100 shots you should never miss a shot. The 3.0" 921k-dot LCD with 170º display offers crisp image playback and precise Live View when shooting movies. The pentaprism optical viewfinder is bright and covers 100% of the frame. And putting the D7000 a notch above its competitors is its pro-like durability including weather and dust sealing, a magnesium-alloy top and rear covers and a shutter system that has been rated to over 150,000 cycles. Also, the built-in Speedlight flash with iTTL and Wireless Commander makes it possible to trigger up to 8 off-camera flashes using the D7000.
Nikon calls the D7000, "a new class of Nikon camera", which refers mostly to this camera's ability to shoot pro-grade Full HD 1080p video. Manual exposure control and full-time continuous autofocus offer the kind of image control that sets this camera above other DSLRs. You're able to shoot in cinema quality 24fps or Internet-friendly 720p at 30fps - up to 20 minutes per clip. To enhance your production, utilize an optional wireless or hot shoe mounted microphone using the stereo mic input and when you're done shooting, there's an HDMI output for easy connection to your HDTV.
With video or stills, the D7000 records to reliable and easy-to-use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. And the camera has twin memory card slots - meaning there's no need to change media mid-shoot. Just move onto the second card without interruption or organize your videos onto one card and your stills on another.
The D7000 also offers creative and assistive features like Picture Control system. Choose from scene settings like vivid, monochrome, and landscape. You can also utilize scene modes with names like child, close-up, and night portrait. And Active D-Lighting optimizes high contrast images to restore the shadow and highlight details that are often lost with strong lighting. Other creative controls include in-camera RAW image processing and the ability to add in special effects like fisheye and miniature effect. A Virtual Horizon Graphic Indicator allows you to place a grid image over the scene you are shooting in order to guarantee straight lines when shooting architecture and landscapes.
The Nikon D7000 is an elegant, compact DSLR with features that put it at the top of its class and a price-tag that will save you money toward the purchase of one of the great 60-plus NIKKOR lenses with which it is compatible.
- 16.2MP DX-Format Sensor + EXPEED 2 Image Processing System
- With its 16.2MP CMOS image sensor and Nikon's new EXPEED 2 image processing system, the D7000 DSLR delivers superior image quality with low noise. The EXPEED 2 image processing engine combined with a 14-bit analog/digital conversion brings a new level of even tonal gradations while managing color, contrast, exposure, and noise resulting in brilliant image quality. EXPEED 2 also manages the D7000's speedy 5-millisecond shutter response, blazing AF speed and rapid six frames-per-second (fps) burst speed for up to 100 images
- Full 1080p High Definition Video Capture with the D-Movie Function
-
Building upon the popular D90 DSLR, the Nikon D7000 captures breathtaking full 1080p HD movies with full-time autofocus and manual exposure control using the D-Movie function.
To keep critical HD focus, users can choose to engage a variety of AF functions, including face priority to track up to 35 human faces, subject-tracking and normal or wide-area autofocus
Advanced movie features also allow exposure adjustment on the fly while recording. The D7000 DSLR offers variable frame rates and resolutions, and can record 1080p at a cinema-like 24fps, or a web-friendly 720p at either 24 or 30fps for up to 20 minutes per clip. Once recorded, users are able to edit and trim video clips in the camera to save time in post production. Whether utilizing a wireless or hot shoe mounted microphone, sound can be recorded via the stereo microphone input for professional audio results
To further simplify movie shooting, Live View is activated by a single dedicated switch, and HD video recording is achieved by pressing a single button. The D7000 DSLR also incorporates a built-in HDMI output CEC compliant (Consumer Electronic Control) that allows users to connect it to a HDTV and playback with most HDTV remote controls
By adding versatile NIKKOR lenses to the equation, photographers can create a variety of photo perspectives with video such as isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field, and recording in low light conditions. Combining the D7000 DSLR with NIKKOR lenses also delivers the sharpness essential for HD video, and Nikon's innovative Vibration Reduction (VR) II technology helps to eliminate the effects of camera shake
- 39 Point AF System
-
The D7000 DSLR features a 39 point AF System, which includes nine center cross-type sensors that operate with more than 60 NIKKOR lenses. The 39 points in the new Multi-CAM 4800DX AF module work together to provide superior subject acquisition and fast tracking capabilities, allowing photographers to confidently capture a player stealing third from the sideline to fast-moving wildlife. Additionally, photographers can activate dynamic or single point AF, configurable in combinations of 9, 21 or 39 or a 21 point ring to match a variety of shooting styles and situations. Photographers can activate 3D tracking, which continuously follows moving subjects within the 39 AF points, highlighting the activated AF point in the viewfinder
An additional feature of the autofocus system is AF fine tune. Photographers sometimes require an extra level of ultra-fine AF tuning. This feature allows you to individually fine-tune and register the autofocus position for up to 12 lens models, then apply that compensation whenever the same lens is attached. You can also register adjustments uniformly regardless of the type of lens used
- 3D Color Matrix Metering System + Scene Recognition System
- Utilizing Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System, the camera analyzes subject information from a database containing more than 30,000 images to optimize focus, exposure and white balance. To assist in creating amazing imagery, the Scene Recognition System reads data from a groundbreaking 2,016 pixel 3D color Matrix Metering sensor that examines the scene's brightness and color data then optimizes the camera's performance prior to the actual exposure. Another revolutionary Nikon first, this system interprets scene data for improved control of light metering and i-TTL flash output. Additionally this sensor allows for an "Ambient" white balance setting which can be activated to allow warm rendering in Automatic White Balance
- Built-In i-TTL Flash + Speedlight Compatibility
- The built-in iTTL Speedlight pops up in a flash, and it offers wide-angle flash-coverage that accommodates 16mm lenses. The camera also has Wireless Commander support so users can maximize the potential of Nikon's creative lighting options. Using the integral flash set to Wireless Commander in combination with one or several off-camera Nikon Speedlights, the shooter can create a unique look for each and every photograph. Up to 8 Speedlights can be fired at once - including Nikon's flagship SB-900, as well as others in the series, including the SB-600 and SB-800/SB-700
- Low Light Image Capture
- The D7000 DSLR continues Nikon's tradition of providing photographers the confidence to shoot in low light, knowing they will capture high quality low-noise images. The camera's native ISO range of 100-6400 affords the versatility to photograph in challenging lighting conditions, such as when indoors or in the evening. The ISO range can be expanded to a Hi-2 setting of 25,600, which was previously found only in Nikon FX-format territory. The camera allows more light to be gathered, resulting in a correctly exposed image that has less noise and finer grain
- Enhanced Build Quality, Durability, and Usability
- The compact design is lightweight enough for a full days use, but has a reassuring heft that hints at Nikon's reputation for reliability. The durable camera body consists of a magnesium-alloy top and rear covers and a 150,000 cycle-rated shutter system. Additionally, the D7000 DSLR is dust and moisture sealed and features Nikon's dust reduction system to remove image-degrading particles from the image sensor. Among the well laid out ergonomics, users will immediately notice a Mode Dial that eschews traditional Scene Mode icons for more advanced manual functions and two user-defined settings (U1 and U2) to adapt to a users shooting style on the fly. Placed under the control wheel is a Release Mode dial, which allows access the burst modes, timer, or the Quiet Shutter, to soften the cameras operation when shooting in sensitive environments such as a ceremonies or nature
- Pentaprism Optical Viewfinder + 170° 3" LCD Display
- When framing lush landscapes or tight telephoto shots from afar, users will appreciate the large, bright glass pentaprism optical viewfinder has approximately 100% frame coverage and approximately 0.94x magnification. The 3", 921,000 dot super-density LCD monitor with 170° viewing delivers bright, crisp image playback and precise Live View and movie shooting
- Twin Memory Card Slots
- The D7000 DSLR features twin SD card slots with SD, SDHC, SDXC memory card compatibility that offers a several recording options including designating separate NEF (RAW) JPEG and movie files
- Long Life EN-EL15 Battery
- The D7000 was designed to provide maximum performance with minimized power usage. The camera employs a new EN-EL15 battery which enables up to 1050 shots when fully charged
- Creative Controls
-
The D7000 DSLR contains many features aimed at empowering the user with creative freedom including the ability to process RAW images directly in the camera, and add in special effects using the retouch menu. Among the many editing options are color filters, distortion control for a fisheye effect, perspective control for a miniature effect, or a new color sketch filter that creates a sketch-styled image. As always, manipulated images are saved as copies while the original is retained
The Picture Control system also allows the choice for standard, neutral, vivid, monochrome, portrait, or landscape settings to apply a personal look and feel to their pictures, and it's versatile scene modes let them choose from portrait, landscape, child, sports, close-up or night portrait for stunning results even in challenging conditions
- Supported Languages
- Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norweigan, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Spanish
- Optional Multi-Power MB-D11 Battery Pack
- To guarantee great performance for longer, the D7000 also has a dedicated Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D11 (optional) that enables seamless switching of power supply with the in-camera battery, vertical shooting and further stabilizes the body when using a long telephoto lens

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 [$] 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

We used a D300 for the past 2 years and we are very satisfied with it. We purchased the D7000 because we needed an additional camera body.
According to the DxOMark website's overall rankings, the D7000' sensor is currently nr. 8 on the list, just below the D3. The ranking of the D7000 is impressive.
Compared with the D300, I want to make the following comments:
1. It is difficult to remove the EN-EL15 battery from the D7000. Besides the clip holding the battery, a small ridge inside the camera compartment prevents it from being easily removed.
2. Why can't Nikon standardise their batteries? The D300 uses the excellent EN-EL3E battery. If you need a spare battery, you need to buy a different model battery – and you need to carry 2 chargers with you!
3. The connector cover on the D7000 is much better than the horrible connector cover of the D300.
4.I like the mode dial on the D7000. It is much easier to change settings for scenes on the D7000 than the manual adjustments you need to make with the D300. This is supposedly an amateurish feature, but I don't care and it makes the D7000 camera much easier to use. You can still make your own manual adjustments.
5. I prefer the feeling of the D300 in my hands. The focus point selector, light metering button and multi-selector works better and easier for me on the D300. The D300 has a bigger control panel display.
6. The D7000 is slightly smaller than the D300, but it still balances nicely with our lenses.
7. I believe the D7000 is a nice addition to our photographic equipment, and it would do its intended tasks well. I don't believe it is a real & significant upgrade to the D300 … as it isn't supposed to be.
8. The D7000 is slightly lighter than the D300. Weight becomes a real issue when you carry the camera for long periods.
9. I won't sell the D300 to buy a D7000 or D300s; but I will sell the D300 to buy the D300s' replacement (D400?) when it becomes available.
I wish Nikon can add a GPS built-in feature as standard in all their cameras. Even cheap mobile phones have GPS's and it wouldn't cost Nikon more than $10 to incorporate a GPS in a camera. A camera needs only a very basic built in GPS, as add-on equipment are always troublesome or awkward to use.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I am strictly a newer photographer. I had a 35mm slr when younger, but have not had the $ to buy a decent digital slr. This meets the goals well, and also is backwards compatable with my fathers old Nikon lenses. It probably has a few more features than I will use, but on the other hand, I could not get everything I wanted without them. Room to grow!!!

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I was kind of thinking about going with the new 7100, but after checking the prices and differences, I went for the 7000. I am surprised by the performance of the camera, the controls of the camera are perfectly designed and easy to access without having to go through any menu. The dual cards are excellent, and you can't just battle the great price tag. It is a very fast camera, the sensor is great and the viewfinder, the focusing speed and the battery life and performance overall is rock solid. 100% Recommended.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I own the Nikon D3000, but I was ready for a camera with some additional features...without getting into the prices of a professional camera. I love the results I am getting. The D7000 is a lot heavier than the D3000, and a lot more sturdy. I like the speed, the 2 memory card slots. I like how this camera performs in low light conditions.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I am a portrait storytelling photographer so I truly nee a great camera. While I was looking at upgrading to the D800 my budget would not allow it. I began researching this camera and fell in love plus it was wayyyyy reasonable in price. In the beginning of a new camera there are times when i get frustrated and think it's not that great, but honest to God there is not any things I dislike about this camera. After allowing myself a learning curve and sitting down to play around and read the manual I am in awe of it's simplicity. I'm a huge fan of the multi-exposure setting allowing me to capture some ghostly images of clients with movement. The menu is easy to navigate. It's great that there are two customizable setting which allow me to create set settings I use most and have them back with the flick of a switch and not have to fumble around when the shot is happening. Love the low light ability. Over all It's just a great buy and user friendly. I'll stop now, for I could keep going.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I thought it was me having trouble operating my D7000, but apparently it's become common knowledge that some memory cards cause the camera to lock out on "error" or don't record some images at all. The camera also has a problem focusing and even after updating the firmware as Nikon suggests, the problems still persist. I waited months for this camera and paid top dollar for it. Unfortunately, it is simply not reliable. I've been shooting Nikon for 25 years and this is my 5th Nikon SLR body. It's very disappointing.On the other hand, when it works, it produces some beautiful images across a variety of criteria. I dealt with it recently by switching to manual focus at a bullfight in Spain. Before I did that, the camera drove me nuts. I suspect the people raving about it tend to use it at its most basic level of functions.

This is a great camera, excellent image quality. This unit is very similar to other Nikon cameras I've owned and is exactly the quality I would expect from Nikon. The customer service at B&H was excellent as well.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
The speed is incrediable. The 6400 ISO and the 6 frames per sec and the focuse and exposure speed is mind boggling. The results are incrediable. At high ISO the moderate to low contrast makes photos look better than real life. I am still learning to use all its featuresa after 5 photo shoots since I received it 2 weeks ago.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I know barely anyone is going to get to my review as it will be like the 1,000th one saying the same thing, but this camera is awesome. It is the perfect balance between an easy to use introductory point and shoot and a professional grade camera for those of us in between. The quality of images is amazing.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
Backstory I upgraded from a D200 and wanted something easy to use like the D200 and durable, yet well performing. The D7000 is miles better than the D200 in low light , fast moving objects. All in all its amazing, even using the pictograph settings. I shoot ice hockey and sports mostly, both very challending but this D7000 works wonderfully. I have shot the best pictures I have ever had with this body , no doubt ..IF in doubt , dont me grab this at a discount and go if you are a DX person .

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I upgraded to this camera body from my D90. I wanted something that was compatible with the lenses I already have invested in and the flash. It comes with more pixels as well. I love, love, love this camera. I am a professional photographer and graphic designer. It is far from my dream camera, but it is excellent for what I do as of right now!

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought this camera when the D7100 was released, taking advantage of the discounted price. I am adding this body to the D90 I already own, which I have been very happy with. So far my impression is that the D7000 represents significant improvements in 1)high ISO performance 2) autofocus 3)control layout. In my first two weeks with this camera, I have adapted easily to the differences between bodies, I find the new layout to be easier and quicker to access, I have been impressed with the 39 point autofocus and have taken usable images at ISO 3200. I am looking forward to exploring the camera's capabilities further, but I am very happy with it so far.

Comments about Nikon D7000 SLR Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought a Nikon D800 but when I compared the photos from this camera and the D7000, using the same lens, I could not tell any difference in resolution or quality of the photos (using the same printer with identical inputs.) In fact, I believed that the D7000 photos were more pleasing to look at and the camera is easier to use.
