## Description

Meet the new Nikon D7000, a camera ready to go wherever your photography or cinematography takes you. Experience stunning images with sharp resolution and smooth tonal gradation, thanks to the 16 megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor and a powerful EXPEED 2 image processing engine. Take advantage of its wide ISO range of 100 to 6400 (expandable to 25,600) and its incredibly low levels of noise. Expect your images tack-sharp and accurately exposed, thanks to the camera’s 39-point AF and Scene Recognition System using a 2,016-pixel RGB matrix metering sensor. And with an approx. 0.052-second release time lag and approx. 6 frames-per-second shooting, you won’t miss a moment.

Review: D7000 vs. the D90 - Hundreds of general reviews of the D7000 have already been written, so instead of trying to reinvent that wheel I will address specific issues that people who are thinking of upgrading may find helpful. If you currently own a D80 the upgrade is a no-brainer. Just do it, you won't regret it. If you're using a D90, as I was before, you may be considering the upgrade to a D7000 a bit more skeptically. I am a serious amateur/hobbyist with more than 50 years of experience in photography, and have progressed from a D50 to a D80 to a D90 (each owned for two years), to the D7000 purchased two months ago. Initially I wondered if the upgrade from a D90 would really be worth it. Well, it definitely is. The D7000 isn't an upgrade to the D90 in the traditional sense that we tend to think of upgrades, it's a whole NEW CAMERA. The improvements I'm most impressed with that matter most to me personally for my kind of photography? 1. New sensor with greater dynamic range and superior high-ISO performance. The first DX body to come close to approximating FX cameras in these areas. 2. New 39-point AF module that puts the D80 and D90's 11-point AF to shame in AF-C and makes easy work of any kind of action photography. Not only faster and more precise autofocusing, but also a significantly improved method for quickly choosing different AF modes. 3. Improved layout of buttons and controls on the body, but with a nearly identical menu structure to the D90 that makes it easy to learn and implement everything, including the D7000's new features. The learning curve should be minimal coming from a D80 or D90. And there are enough similarities to the D300 to make it an easy transition. 4. Metering, especially matrix metering, is more accurate in a wider variety of lighting conditions -- definitely improved over the D90 and a major improvement over the D80. A camera's meter readings are always suggestions, not commandments, and EV compensation is often necessary. But the D7000's matrix metering gets the exposure very close to right the vast majority of the time. 5. The D7000's light touch (hair trigger) shutter release takes a little getting used to, but it definitely minimizes the chance of camera motion blur when taking a picture. I understand that D300 and D700 users won't notice much difference in the touch, but it's a major improvement if you're coming from any of Nikon's consumer DSLRs. 6. The 6 fps continuous mode is plenty fast enough to capture very fast action like birds in flight. And the new dial configuration makes it easier than ever to change shooting modes quickly. 7. Programmable U1 and U2 modes eliminate time-consuming menu diving and button pushing when you want to switch instantaneously between settings for different situations (landscape or scenic shots vs. action photography, for example). 8. The introduction of several "pro body features" in a consumer camera like AF fine tuning, which is not something you need all the time or want to use indiscriminately, but it's wonderful to have when you need it. 9. Better construction gives the D7000 a "pro feel" not present in other consumer grade Nikon bodies. A subjective opinion, I know, but just picking up a D7000 tells you that you're handling a very solid, serious piece of equipment. 10. Yes, we all bemoaned the introduction of a new D7000 battery. But this new EN-EL15 is a powerhouse that will give the Energizer Bunny a run for his money. A very positive new enhancement. 11. Last but not least (lest we forget the real purpose of a camera), I am taking better pictures (technically, at least) with my D7000 than I did with my D90 -- and doing so much more easily and efficiently. Compared to the 2-3 months it took me to adapt to the D80 and D90 when I upgraded to those bodies before I began getting really satisfactory results, there hasn't been any such prolonged learning curve with my D7000. I have not commented on the D7000's video capabilities because I don't shoot video with it. I have noted that autofocusing with any lens in Live View is rather slow, even in good light, and many lenses may have difficulty achieving an accurate focus lock in low light. And a few lenses may fail to autofocus in Live View at all. This is not really important to me because I very rarely use this feature, but it is something to be aware of. A word about lenses: Achieving the best results with the higher resolution of the 16MP D7000 does require good lenses. The 18-105 VR kit lens is adequate and will yield perfectly satisfactory results. However, obtaining the superior image quality that the camera is capable of calls for better quality glass. For an excellent general purpose "walkaround" lens that is also a Best Buy at $449, I personally recommend the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens for Nikon Mount Digital SLR Cameras . I prefer this Sigma to the somewhat overpriced Nikon 16-85 VR. To cover the telephoto range, I would suggest adding the excellent Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Nikkor Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras to your arsenal. I hope desertcart shoppers for the D7000 body only who thinking of upgrading from a previous DSLR find my observations helpful. UPDATE ON 03/16/11 -- Here is a link to my Flickr photostream if you would like view some of the photos I have taken with the D7000. They include the EXIF info and were taken with the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM and Nikon 70-300 VR. [...] One feature I didn't mention in my original review is in-camera editing. This is not something new, but it's much more robust in the D7000 and I use it quite a bit. For example, JPEG shooters will appreciate the in-camera WB adjustment that lets you correct color balance that's way off right in the camera and then make subtle adjustments in post processing. Likewise, in-camera B&W and sepia conversions produce images with a full tonal gradient for later creative manipulation on the computer. Both of these are handy time-savers, and your original image always remains intact. The in-camera cropping options have also been expanded to include virtually all of the popular formats and provide excellent flexibility for basic cropping. The more I use my D7000, the more I appreciate what a significant upgrade it is to the D90.
Review: Its a awesome piece of work !!! - Well, I upgraded to D90 from D40 and the change is huge for me. One hell of a camera it is, I loved it. Later when D7000 came, I have been reading reviews and hearings from friends that it has lot of potential and significant upgrade over D90. After too much of thinking i decided to go for it. ordered it and made one day prime shipping coz I cant wait to hold this bad boy and shoot it to its potential. But to my disappointment, I dint feel it at all from the moment I took the first snap out of it. Soft images, Memory Card error (ordered brand new 2 memory cards with camera), washed out oily images on occassions. I wasn't feeling at all and I realised as I read in many reviews for few users, they recieved the faulty unit like mine. desertcart is awesome, they have excellent return policy. Leave all that, after too much of thinking when you finally get to hold the camera, you really wanted to have a faulty one and have to struggle through all that returning. I cant even exchange as this is in high demand and all ran out of stock in few days after I ordered this. I need to wait until stocks are loaded up again. Now I lost my interest in D7000 and made me think to wait for D400 (reading rumors but not sure). Nikon needs to do more robust QA on the products. I am not blaming the product but the company. When I get the perfect piece not the faulty one, I will re-write my review with updated points. UPDATE: Sad to give this update that still has not found defect free D7000 yet. After the original review I returned the camera and was looking for replacement but to my luck desertcart is out of stock. So got the refund and bought one from J & R. So unwrapped it and started firing away and learn many things that issues I noted above are not with faulty piece but with all the camera's. - Washed out / Oily / over Exposed Images under bright conditions. In general this new sensor/processor is over exposing constantly all the time that it washes out details under bright condition. It was not the case with D90 (one beautiful camera it is, i sold it :( ) ...I have to always look for this wash out situations and adjust exposure value 2 stops down or more - Memory Card Error. This was really annoying. Thought its defect with few pieces but its not. The new piece had the same problem. On trip, I set to shoot RAW on one card and jpeg on another. All general ppl shots suffice to be compressed jpeg, easy to share right off the trip. And RAW images are things which I do part of photography, like any landscape scenes etc., because of this error all my RAW and jpegs got mixed up in the secondary card. Later Nikon had released the latest firmware 1.3 and it had the fix for that. - On occassions still i see, soft images (be little careful and you can avoid this in many situation) there is setting in the camera for Shutter Release "Release" & "Focus". What does "Release" priority do is, regardless of your object is in focus, it release the shutter. Useful for sports photography (they cant miss the moment, during continuous shots if camera is trying to Auto Focus, also it slows down 6 fps on such occassions. So camera comes with "Release" setting by default. Change it to "Focus" priority, no matter what until the desired object is in focus it doesnt release the shutter. So no chances for soft images. THE NEW QA DEFECT: Again I am returning this piece because it has hot/stuck pixel on my LCD screen (not on sensor). Once you notice, its really tough to ignore it from that moment. Its annoying though its tiny and tinier that this . dot. I can get used to live with it, caveat is it may develop more in the future and cant be acceptable for the price of the camera. i have tried all the ways to fix the hot pixel and not going away. I feel have NO LUCK with D7000. What I still love about the camera and want to hold it: - Colors ! Colors ! Colors! are simply real - Fast AF system. - Better User Settings. - Pictures just come alive and feels so great with lenses like 24-70 f2.8 - Weightless and Ergonomically awesome. - Portraits are way to go !! after post processing ppl think I am a PRO and GOOD TO START my portrait business (but in real I am not that pro like) I wish I understand this camera more to work around the few defects .. or just work great like predecessors. May be I am thinking buy used D90 for now until they release D400.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can any one tel me what's the diffrenc between Canon mark5III and nikon7000 and which's better**
A: The Canon 5D Mark III is a full frame sensor vs the crop sensor in the Nikon D7000.  Also about $2300 between the two bodies.  Really depends on your budget and what you want to do.  If you are asking this question you most likely don't need to spend the money on the 5D.

**Q: Hi, Anyone who have recently (Dec 14, Jan15) purchased D7000 body only from Amazon please let me know
1. Does it come in the original box ( The factory packing for Body only) with all accessories like new
2. Does it provide the US warranty card
Thanks in advance for your response.
Ani**
A: I bought the D7000 in Nov 2014 and yes, it did come in the gold Nikon box and it did have the warranty card with it.  It came from Nikon.  Was not a gray market camera, but the real one.  I love this camera body a lot and am glad I did upgrade from the D90!

**Q: Hello, why shipping weight is 7 pounds? while the product weight is 1.7 pounds?**
A: The weight is greater because of the manuals and accessories included.  There are two 300+ page manuals (one in English, one Spanish) which alone weigh 1.5 lbs.  Add in the weight of the battery charger, battery, neck strap, USB and audio cables, software, body cap, etc and the weight quickly adds up.  I ordered the body only D7000.  The UPS label shows 6 pounds.  When I put the D7000 package (without the shipping box and packing) on the scale, it was a little over 5 lbs.  I'm sure the ones that come with a lens would have a 7 pound shipping weight.

**Q: Does this include Nikon USA 1 year warranty?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D7000 vs. the D90

And RAW images are things which I do part of photography, like any landscape scenes etc., because of this error all my RAW and jpegs got mixed up in the secondary card. Later Nikon had released the latest firmware 1.3 and it had the fix for that. - On occassions still i see, soft images (be little careful and you can avoid this in many situation) there is setting in the camera for Shutter Release "Release" & "Focus". What does "Release" priority do is, regardless of your object is in focus, it release the shutter. Useful for sports photography (they cant miss the moment, during continuous shots if camera is trying to Auto Focus, also it slows down 6 fps on such occassions. So camera comes with "Release" setting by default. Change it to "Focus" priority, no matter what until the desired object is in focus it doesnt release the shutter. So no chances for soft images. THE NEW QA DEFECT: Again I am returning this piece because it has hot/stuck pixel on my LCD screen (not on sensor). Once you notice, its really tough to ignore it from that moment. Its annoying though its tiny and tinier that this . dot. I can get used to live with it, caveat is it may develop more in the future and cant be acceptable for the price of the camera. i have tried all the ways to fix the hot pixel and not going away. I feel have NO LUCK with D7000. What I still love about the camera and want to hold it: - Colors ! Colors ! Colors! are simply real - Fast AF system. - Better User Settings. - Pictures just come alive and feels so great with lenses like 24-70 f2.8 - Weightless and Ergonomically awesome. - Portraits are way to go !! after post processing ppl think I am a PRO and GOOD TO START my portrait business (but in real I am not that pro like) I wish I understand this camera more to work around the few defects .. or just work great like predecessors. May be I am thinking buy used D90 for now until they release D400.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoughts on the D7000, D700, and D5100
*by E***W on June 11, 2011*

I went a little crazy last year and bought a D700. I learned that camera pretty well and absolutely loved shooting with it. But I am an amateur and always felt a little guilty having spent that much money on a hobby. What's more, the D700 is big and heavy compared to amateur cameras (it's an awesome size for pros), and I actually found myself leaving it at home on occasion because of that size and weight. So when the D7000 was out for a bit and received such good reviews, I jumped. I fell in love with the D7000 immediately and sold the D700. Of course, I would have kept both if I could justify the cash, but the D7000 is so good that I usually don't feel like I'm missing much. There are quite a few interesting points to be made comparing the two cameras, but I recognize that the average shopper would not be considering the two in the same class, so I'll just say I'd be happy to answer questions in the comments. The short version is that while the D700 produces slightly better images and generally handles better, the D7000 is at least 90% the camera for the half the price and is better suited to the amateur shooter in several respects. So why do I like it so much? -Beautiful images, of course. -Low light performance is extremely admirable for a DX sensor. -100% viewfinder -Flash commander mode for using flash off-camera -The right amount of heft and size for my taste. Build feels excellent, and it's got weatherproofing! -Dual SD cards are a nice touch. -Handling is great. U1 and U2 modes are a wonderful addition. Nikon's command dials have a nice feel and are extremely useful. -I didn't buy this camera for video, but the video looks great IF you handle it right. Think movie camera rather than family video cam. What I don't like as much? -Buffer is a bit small when shooting NEF (RAW). It doesn't affect me because I don't shoot much action, but heavy sport shooting could be difficult in NEF. -SD cards still aren't as fast as CF cards. -Viewfinder is a nice size for DX, but it's still nowhere near the size of an FX viewfinder. -I think I prefer the AF selector on the D700 by a hair. One finger vs two. Not that big a deal. -See above, but video is obviously not as easy as a dedicated video camera. Who cares? I mentioned the D5100 in my title because I think many people are wondering if the D7000 is worth the extra cost over the D5100. The short answer is that it depends on how serious of a shooter you are. Do you understand the relationship between shutter speed, aperture, and ISO? If the answer is "No, and I don't care," stop reading and buy the D5100, or even the D3100. Do you want to film your kids playing soccer? The D5100 is better suited for that, although I'd really suggest you buy a dedicated video camera. These are primarily still cameras after all. If you're a more advanced shooter, or you'd like to become one, consider the following: Some people say the D5100 has the same sensor and the option to shoot video at 30 fps, so why would you possibly want a D7000 instead? There are several very important upgrades that the D5100 does NOT have, some of which I could not live without: -Flash commander mode: Enables you to shoot your external flash or flashes off camera. Huge capability. -Continuous shooting speed is 6 fps vs 4 fps. -Battery life is far superior -Dual SD cards. Not critical, but a very nice feature for backup especially. -Lossless compressed 14-bit NEFs. Probably not a deal breaker, but I want every bit of quality available from that sensor! -100% viewfinder vs 95%. I didn't know I wanted it until I got it. -Non AF-S lens compatible (for autofocusing), Will meter with AI lenses. Another huge feature. I can use my 30-year-old 85mm f/2 lens. -Faster shutter -Better AF system. Another big deal for dynamic shooting situations. -Flash bracketing The D5100 is cheaper, lighter, has a swiveling screen, and shoots video at 30 fps. At $300 more, I think the D7000 is an excellent value compared to the D5100 when you consider the extra features it has. What else can I say that hasn't already been said elsewhere? The D7000 is the camera to beat in this class, if you know how to shoot, and often, even if you don't.
