The D7000 DSLR Camera with NIKKOR 18-200mm DX VR II Lens and Accessory Bundle from Nikon sets you up from the get-go with Nikon's NIKKOR AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II lens, as well as over a dozen great accessories. An AC adapter, quick charger and rechargeable lithium-ion battery are included to get you powered up and ready to shoot all day. Convenient amenities like an eyepiece cap, hot shoe cover, rubber eyecup, and a few others allow you to customize the eyepiece and protect the various parts of the body from scratches or damage.
A carrying case is also included to keep the contents of the kit protected. Once you have all of your photos captured, the included USB and A/V cables included let you easily transfer, backup, and share your photos immediately. For those looking to learn as much as possible before going out a Nikon School DVD and Guide to SLR Photography are included, along with View NX2 software on a CD-ROM.
With a zoom range of 18-200mm 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 18-200mm lens provides you with the flexibility to do so. Other highlights of this 18-200mm lens include the AF-S Silent Wave Motor for fast, quiet, autofocus performance and the VR II Image Stabilizer for handheld shots at speeds up to three stops slower than would normally be possible.
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.
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 24 fps, or a web-friendly 720p at either 24 or 30 fps 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
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
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
