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 Kit with NIKKOR 18-105mm DX VR Lens, would you? No, of course you wouldn't.
This kit sets you up from the get-go with Nikon's NIKKOR AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. With a zoom range of 18-105mm you'll be prepared for most shooting situations. Whether it's a tight space you find yourself in or there's a somewhat distant subject that you want to capture, the 18-105mm lens provides you with the flexibility to do so. Other highlights of this 18-105mm lens include the AF-S Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet, autofocus performance and the VR Image Stabilizer for handheld shots at speeds up to three stops slower than would normally be possible.
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 view finder, and dual SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slots. Breathe. I repeat: breathe. (Yes, Nikon took it to the mat with 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, and 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.
- Includes Nikon NIKKOR 18-105mm DX VR Zoom Lens
-
This kit provides you with both the D7000 body and a Nikon NIKKOR 18-105mm DX VR zoom lens. The 18-105 is a great all-around lens that gives you the flexibility to shoot wide angle in tight spaces, or to capture sweeping landscapes, while also giving you the ability to shoot distant subjects
This AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is a versatile optic. The AF-S Silent Wave Motor provide fast, quiet, and dead-on AF performance with full time manual focus override. The AF-S motor keeps up with skittish, erratic subjects that overwhelm normal camera-driven-motor AF systems. You'll get more 'keeper' images of those fast moving subjects - like children, animals, athletes, and the like.
Along with the SWM (Silent Wave Motor), the 18-105 benefits from the VR Image Stabilizer built in to the lens, which will give you the ability to handhold the camera at shutter speeds up to three stops slower than would otherwise normally be possible. This is of particular usefulness whenever you're photographing slow-moving subjects in low light. The benefit of in-lens stabilization is seen in the viewfinder, making composing and capturing the image easier as well
Highlights:
- DX Lenses are exclusively designed for Nikon digital SLRs with the DX-size sensor; equivalent focal length in 35mm terms is 27-157mm
- VR (Vibration Reduction) minimizes camera-movement image blur, enabling handheld shooting ~3 stops slower
- Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element and aspherical lens element
- Built-in A/M switch enables instant exchange between AF and manual focus
- Silent Wave Motor for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet AF
- Non-rotating front element eases use of polarizing filters
- Rounded 7-blade aperture diaphragm renders pleasing out-of-focus highlights
- 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 to 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
- RGB 3D 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 RGB 3D 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 the SB-600 and 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

I was a D90 user and I was very happy with that camera, when I got the D7000 I was wondering what could be better than a D90 for that price.
The D7000 improves almost every single feature of the D90 and ads many new features proper of a pro camera, like custom modes recall, mirror lock up, full 3D matrix metering with manual lenses, fine AF tune and many others.
The quality of the pictures I've got with this camera are stunning. The impressive dynamic range and very clean high ISO images make it perfect for low light situations.
The D7000 also incorporates for first time ever a 2,016-gegment RGB meter that produces fantastic exposures even in the most complicated situations.
I've read some people complaining about sharpness with this camera, well... I have to tell you, this camera is VERY sharp, but your technique has to be very good, because if it's not, the huge amount of pixels will make all your errors twice as noticeable as before, so don't blame the camera.
I believe this is the best DSLR camera for the money in the market right now.
No other will give you so many features and an impressive quality image plus HD video with AF unless you spend 3 or 4 times more money.
Highly recommended.

(I have owned this camera for 2 weeks)First, let's start with all that is good about the D7000, especially in relation to the D90.For a strictly photo camera, this one is one of the better ones out there. For those that do not tweak camera settings a lot, the D7000 has one of the best out of box default settings and color renderings. Body look and feel:The styling of the body is like an aggressive square that has been smoothed into something more organic. Looking at it, it seems to be bigger than a D90, but when they are side by side, they are pretty much the same. I am 6'2" so it ends up looking like a toy in my hands. That said, I really appreciate the light weight compared to bigger bodies such as D300s and 5DmkII.I prefer the Canon 60D grip. But the D7000 is not bad. Weather sealing is good, but hard core photogs may desire more.Image Quality:-Again, the default color renderings are very nice. They make caucasian skin-tone less red and blotchy, and trees a more pleasant green. Canon seems to have a flatter color curve and the reds pop a bit more on them. Both both brands allow customization.-Dynamic range is good. You won't find any other camera producing jpegs with much more dynamic range than this. Although, sometimes that makes images appear flat and un-interesting, so occasionally for certain subjects you may want to add some contrast or saturation. The D-lighting function works well. It is not HDR, but it give the user a little more dynamic range when needed.-ISO performance is one of the best for crop sensor cameras. But the D7000 develops hot pixels. You will notice an improvement, but if you are used to the D90, than it will not explode your mind, but you will see a tangible difference in noise performance.The ISO on Nikon is brighter than Canon. (not better necessarily, just brighter)- Lens compatibility with AIS lenses is fun. I have a lot of old lenses and i can program them in and the camera will recognize f-stop. So the user can use AIS lenses in Aperture priority mode. - Auto Focus with the kit 18-105mm lens is good. A wurrr of the motor and your there. The focus speed will depend on your lens to a certain degree. But even with the kit lens it is good. Better than the T2i with kit lens, but may not stand up to the 7D and D300s. So, very good.-Auto mode was a tad bright in exposure for me, but I think if I were giving the camera to a novice, they would be better of with that kind of exposure. So, I think it is very nice. You cannot set EV exposure compensation in auto, it is full auto, which gives a certain amount of confidence. A and S modes do very well, and you can always use exposure compensation when in a tricky lighting situation.-Mode Dial:-The new U1 and U2 user programmed presets are wonderful.-The new dial under the main mode dial frees up space on the camera body for other buttons by putting fps rate, time delay, bulb, remote settings on a dial. It is quick and easy to use with bare hands, but may be a bit tricky with gloves.-The 6fps is fast enough for all but the most special applications. But this is not an unheard of frame rate in this price bracket. Also, the new mirror-less cameras will have much faster frame rates to come (like 40 fps burst). The mirror cameras will not be able to keep up in the frame rate war, but 6fps is plenty fast enough for most photography.-The quiet shutter and mirror lock-up is what I missed in the D90. The D90 was responsive, but loud.VIDEO MODE:The video is sharper than the Canons, but has more aliasing and stair stepping on fine details.It has nice dynamic range, and great nikon color rendering. For the cons on the video read below.CONS:OK, the cons, or more appropriately the CON, as there is one main issue, and then a few others.The D7000 I purchased had hot pixels at all ISO levels!!! This is unacceptable! Even the sample photo at imaging resource showed a hot pixel at ISO 100!Not only did it have hot pixels out of the box, but it developed a few more over the following week. I started with 2 hot pixels on opposite ends of the frame, but then had 8 hot pixels through out, with two bright blue ones right in the middle. This means more time in post, but it also means that the video function will have persistent hot spots.The work arounds for hot pixels:The faster the shutter speed, the less apparent the hot pixel.The lower the ISO, the less bright the hot pixel.Software can eliminate these once you edit them in the computer.I do not know how wide spread this issue is, and at the same time, there are many dslr's that exhibit hot pixels.For the most part, the hot pixel is not an issue for photography, since shutter speed frequently exceeds 1/200th. However, in video mode, shutter speeds above 120 look strobee and so shutter speed of 150/ is preferred, however the hot pixels are more apparent at slower shutter speeds.It would be nice if Nikon started using pixel mapping in their camera bodies. As, I do not know when manufacturing processes will allow us to make perfect sensors with out hot pixels.Hot pixels are evident in video mode.I do not know how prevalent this issue is, but I would just bring it up.Other smaller gripes:- The shutter release button is to close to the edge of the camera, and this requires me to arch my finger drastically, or bring my trigger hand slightly under the body. I am 6'2", but I do not have huge hands, so I imagine many males and larger females may notice this too. But I was able to get used to it. The D90 is slightly more comfortable possibly.-Some do not like the mushy shutter release on the D7000, because it does not give enough feedback to the operator as to whether the button is half pressed or fully pressed. I am sensitive enough that it does not bother me. The D90 always felt a but to 'clicky' on the shutter release, but some prefer that positive feed-back. I like the mushy feel of the D7000 better.Movie mode still has no 25p 30p in 1080 or 60p in any mode. This is more important for film makers.Final words:So, to sum it all up, the D7000 is great camera, but it has some draw backs for those that wish to use it for the video. Once the price comes down on this new camera, I'm sure satisfaction rate will go up.The hot pixels I got on mine, have made me wonder about the quality of the D7000 sensor. Most casual users will not notice or care about hot pixels. And they will not be noticeable in daytime photography.The three star rating is because of the prevalent hot pixels ( I have and counting).If there were no hot pixels and $200 dollars cheaper, it would easily have a 5 star rating. As is, the technology for this generation of camera at this price range does not strike me as anything extraordinary, but is worth the buy if you must adopt this camera early. Overall a really excellent photography camera tainted by hot pixel issue. Sorry, maybe I just got a bad one.

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
The D7000 has all the features of its competition and them some. After extensive research this was my DSLR of choice. It is easy to handle and the controls are learned quickly. The product quality is excellent and it takes amazing photos. The only small downside is the included 18-105 lens did not quite have the zoom capability I was expecting. This is NO fault of Nikon in any way. I just broke down and got the 55-300 in addition to the kit lens. You may want to do this all at once at the time of initial purchase and save yourself some money!

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
I was somewhat happy with my D300. I loved the weight and solidness of the body. What I wasn't happy with was the ISO capabilities. Not sure if it was just my D300 or all of them but I was getting horrible noise at ISO 600 and above. So any low light situation I cringed at my photos. Then I decided to go with the D7000- 16 megapixels, hd video, amazing battery life and 16 megapixels. This camera just saved me at a 4 day event in SLC, all indoor and low light. I so happy with my images even while shooting at 1600-2000 ISO. Minimal grain and the camera was easy to navigate coming from the D300. I still wish the ISO button was on top but not a big deal. If you are upgrading from the D300 I DEFINITELY suggest the D7000. All reviews say its the new D90 but it's easily a replacement for the D300. I recommend getting the battery grip for it. I bought the Bower battery grip for a fraction of the Nikon cost plus it comes with a battery and two extra battery options.

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
I'm an architect and took photographs of urban spaces and buildings and the camera is perfect for that purpose.The best: high iso performance.
It's fast, lightweight and the price is appropriate to their quality. The colors are magnificent, and of course we have full control over all aspects. Magnificent portraits and photographs with a lot of great details!!!

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
I love using this camera. It's so great for getting out in nature and getting that perfect shot. I really don't have any complaints as I've never owned my own DSLR before, so I have no comparison. Great camera!

This is an excellent camera with very few downsides. Only think Nikon can do to make it better would be to add in-body VR.

This was worth the wait! I love this camera, nikon right on target and then some. Changing settings is so user frendily. Took about a day to figure most things out setting wise. Crisp clear pic's. Kit lens is not bad at all, sharp and crisp as well. I have not tried and pre-set options. this has been on Manual since I pulled it out of the box. Just can't say enough about this thing!!

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
I am a Journalism student with a concentration in photjournalism. I purchased this camera kit with the intention of having a 2nd camera behind my Canon Rebel T2i. When I got the Nikon, it became my go to camera and my Canon is now sitting in it's case. The D7000 is amazing and surprisingly easy to use as compared to my Canon. I love it!

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
After my old D40 just couldn't hit the high ISOs I needed and I managed to kill both lenses during summer camp, I decided to upgrade to this.
Dual card slots mean I can shoot longer and are definitely needed when shooting up to 1080 video.
Has several programmable buttons that can be set to various functions (bracketing, AF lock, AE lock, etc).
Batteries are a bit expensive, but well worth it.

Comments about D7000 DSLR Camera Kit with Nikon 18-105mm DX VR Lens:
As someone new to DSLR cameras, this camera is very easy to use and understand. The manuel is easy to read and refernce for the beginner user. I was looking for a camera to capture colors, such as sunsets, and night images better than my point and shoot could. I have been amazed at how well it captures the colors and love the ability to be able to adjust the apature and shutter speed to obtain the pictures I want as well as being able to set and save manual settings I use the most. I already have reccomend this camera to my friends and family.

Just bought this camera to advance our photography capabilities past the point-and-shoots we had. So far, camera is amazing. GREAT battery life, automatic modes have taken amazing photos (haven't really started playing with the manual settings yet). Would definitely recommend to a friend.
