Look into my eyes; look deep into my eyes... Oh, right - this is the Internet - You can't see my eyes. And even if you could, being the well-informed lover of photography that you are, you wouldn't need me to hypnotize you in order to believe all the wonders of Nikon's D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only), would you? No, of course you wouldn't.
Anyway, my dear reader let's cut to the chase and take a look at the wondrous D7000 in all its glory. Here's a quick hit in case you need the skinny now: 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS sensor that works together with Nikon's EXPEED 2 image processor, 1080p HD video with full time autofocus, 6FPS burst shooting, a 39-Point AF System, autofocus fine tuning, a 3" LCD display and pentaprism optical viewfinder, and dual SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slots. Breathe. I repeat: breathe. (Yes, Nikon took it to the mat with the D7000). A built-in flash makes it possible to trigger other flashes using the D7000.
Nikon assures us that the D7000, "concentrates primarily on image quality above all else", giving the DSLR photographer and filmmaker what the company calls "a new class of Nikon camera". So, when it came to video recording, Nikon didn't skimp out on capabilities. The D7000 boasts 1080p HD video capture, while providing a number of other recording options including manual exposure control. Capture video with the cinema quality 24fps or record Internet-friendly video at 720p in 24 or 30fps - up to 20 minutes per clip. To enhance your video utilize an optional wireless or hot shoe mounted microphone using the stereo mic input. The camera also features, full time autofocus, and Live View for video capture. When you're all done shooting and ready to share on the big screen, there's an HDMI output for one-cable connection to your HDTV.
Let's return to the camera's main focus - digital stills, shall we? We shall. The 16.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor and Nikon's proprietary EXPEED 2 image processing engine help you to make beautiful, engaging, gorgeous, and bewitching RAW, JPEG, and RAW+JPEG images. It's true! You'll have enough pixel-power to make wall-sized murals of - well, anything really - if that's your sort of thing. But even if it's not on your agenda to make photo wallpaper, the D7000's imaging capabilities give you the tools you need to create detailed, bright, and pro-quality images.
Helping the sensor and processor take those stunning photos are functions like Nikon's RGB 3D Matrix Metering System, the built-in i-TTL flash with Speedlight compatibility, and a 39 point AF system. The latter just so happens to make the D7000 compatible with over 60 NIKKOR lenses. Other helpful functions include: 14-bit analog/digital conversion, a 100-6400 ISO setting, 6 frame-per-second burst speed for up to 100 images, along with numerous other features.
No matter - video or still - as mentioned above, the D7000 records to durable and easy-to-use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. 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.
What else can I possibly impart onto you about the Nikon D7000? Well, in addition to the major bells and whistles the camera also gives you its 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. Other creative controls include in-camera RAW image processing and the ability to add in special effects like fisheye and a miniature effect.
- 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
- 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 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
I'm a photo enthusiast/occasional pro assistant, and this camera is a MAJOR upgrade from the D70 (now replaced by the D90) I've been using for a number of years. I've had my hands on the D4 as well as a number of very high-end film Nikons over the years when working with friends and employers, and this camera certainly competes with them in terms of the features I use often. AF is fast and accurate, and the performance at high ISOs is far better than the D70.
The D7000 has a large, bright LCD screen and easy-to-use controls. The body is substantial, but not nearly as hefty as the D4, so better suited for photography on the go if your arm muscles aren't quite up to hours with the bigger, more powerful body.
I love the dual SD card slots, both for expanded storage and backing up important shoots.

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
After shooting with the D3000 for 3 years i decided to upgrade to the D7000 and im glad i did. The D7000 has many new features that make getting that shot so much easier. These features include built in autofocus motor (for AF lenses), internal flash commander (for controling off camera flashes), a new cmos censor (giving you greater iso performance) and several firing modes (including 6fps, 1-5 fps, remote, timer, quiet, and miror up. All in all, this camera is well worth the money.

Thus far I have found the D7000 to be perfect for my needs.I was over due to move on from my prior Nikon 'prosumer' model. While I haven't yet had the time to put the camera through every single one of its paces, I have been extreemly happy with what I've captured so far.

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
My wife and I are professional photographers and when the D7000 came out she wanted one. We ordered one right away after reading several reviews. At first I expected it was just a glorified D90, and would be used as a back up camera. After seeing the results my wife was getting with the D7000, my mouth just dropped! Pictures shot at iso 6400 looked like picts shot at 800 on my D200. You can't believe what kind of high school sports pictures you can shoot wit it!
In addition, the D-lighting funtion on the D700 really tames back lighting pictures without a flash. There are so many other functions that this camera is capable of that I don't have the time or space to list here, but it also shoots HD video! Needless to say after almost a year I bought one for myself. For the price this camera can't be beaten!

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
I purchased the D7000 as a step-up from my previous Nikon D40 and I was very impressed from the first photo. Operationally it's still a Nikon, but has so many more features and is still easy-to-use. There are still many functions that I need to learn, but after only a week I'm already taking great pictures and couldn't be happier. For anyone looking for the complete package without getting into the professional models--this is it.

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
Moved up from D70s to D7000 and I love this camera. The large LCD screen helps this 67 yr. old guy see everything better, all info on the screen seem to jump out, very big help to me. Function button is a good thing to use for your favorite shooting menus. The 39 focus points work great, not one out of focus photo yet, the highlighted square points are easy to see and use. Navigating around this camera is easy and smooth almost second nature. No comment on the video because I haven't used it yet. If you are considering an FX camera, this is it.

Suberb camera. Most probably the best non-professional professional camera to buy. Great features, easy to use, suitable from novice to the serious photographers out there.

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
I bought this camera as an upgrade to my bridge camera. At first I was intimidated but this camera is very easy to dive into and learn the world of DSLR photography! What I love about this camera is that it's nice and heavy but it's very easy to handle and hold on to! The controls are very accessible and easy to find when you need them! The only thing about this camera that I would change is the continuous auto focus, I haven't really figured it out yet, but overall this is an aussome camera!!

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
This D7000 is a great piece of equipment. I am so used to my D700 bodies that I am still a little awkward. All the buttons are in the wrong place!! LOL. It takes great pictures if you have great lenses. 16Mp is getting to the point where a cheaper lens WILL START TO BE AN ISSUE. Reviews where reviewers blame the camera for not being able to focus, blurry in the corners, etc. are probably trying to use thier $200-$300 lenses not having a clue. When you get to the better bodies you need to be spending $1800-$3000 on each lens.
This camera body is not a D700 but it is a keeper

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
Fantastic resolution even at high ISO settings and functions easily found.
For those using simple models, as D5000, it is prudent to have a lot of attention in the use of external keysat the beginning.

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
Photography has gone from not just being a hobby but a means of work so I needed to upgrade my equipment. The D7000 is exceptional with photo and video quality and is reasonably priced.
Camera has a tendency to overexpose at times and not sure about the continuous auto focus of the video camera.

Comments about Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera (Body Only):
I'm new to Nikon since I'm a Canon guy, but after months and months of reading reviews about how awesome the Nikon D7000 is and how difficult it is to get a hold of one I finally saw it as being available at B&H and I jumped at the chance and bought the body. I still don't have any Nikon lenses so the product lies unopened on my desk. I have never used a Nikon camera so this is all new to me. Bottom line, I can tell that this is a very solid camera and feels really well made. Build quality is top notch and the various buttons are exactly where I need them to be. Mind you I haven't opened the box yet as I don't have a Nikon lens, but I did play around with the store display camera before I bought this unit.
