Nikon D7000 Review

The Nikon D7000 has been a welcome addition to the Nikon family. The D7000 is the perfect camera for a DSLR user with some experience or a more budget conscious professional. This camera has been revered as having the best design out of any Nikon DSLR yet.

The D7000 boasts 16.2 megapixels, excellent for tight cropping and large prints, it also offers the second highest resolution out of all the Nikon DSLRs. Upgrades on the D7000 include a great optical fixed eye level pentaprism viewfinder and streamlined operations and controls. An interesting new feature is the double SDXC/SD/SDHC compatible card slots which can be configured into overflow, backup, raw vs. jpeg, or video vs. still. The three inch TFT LCD screen is a great feature on this camera as well.

The autofocus feature consists of a 39 area TTL phase detection and features AE/AF controls like Dynamic-Area AF, 3D tracking AF (tracking by subject color), Auto-Area AF, and face priority AF.
The D7000 offers a new 2016 pixel metering system, ISO sensitivity from 100-6400, and an electronically controlled vertical travel focal plane shutter with a minimum shutter speed of 30 seconds and maximum at 1/8000 second.
