Nikon D7000


1. A new DX-format CMOS image sensor and new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, both developed by Nikon, enable capture of high-definition images with superior image quality

The D7000 is equipped with a new Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor and a new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2. The camera offers an effective pixel count of 16.2-million pixels and enables capture of high-definition images exhibiting superior image quality with extremely detailed rendering and rich tones with smooth gradations. With standard sensitivity range of ISO100 - 6400 and additional increases of up to Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent), the camera offers improved capability in shooting under dim lighting in the evening or indoors, and also expands possibilities for expression with rapidly moving subjects.



EXPEED 2 is Nikon's latest image-processing engine developed using the ideas, expertise and technologies in digital imaging that Nikon has cultivated over the years. EXPEED 2 enables faster image processing, a high level of noise reduction, better color reproduction characteristics, and reduced power consumption.



2. A compact, elegant body that offers both authenticity and flexibility

A magnesium alloy has been adopted for the top and rear covers for increased durability in a size equivalent to that of the D90. All joints on the camera body have also been sealed to ensure a greater level of water and dust resistance.



3. A new 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor

With 2,016 pixels, the new metering sensor developed for the D7000 offers twice the metering pixels as our previous high-end metering sensor. Prior to shooting, the 2,016-pixel RGB sensor acquires accurate information regarding the scene. That information is then reflected in autofocusing, automatic exposure, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, and auto white balance control for extremely faithful images.



4. A new 39-point AF system

An AF sensor module with 39 effective focus points

Adoption of the new Multi-CAM4800DX autofocus sensor module enables certain acquisition and tracking of the intended subject with 39 focus points. Nine cross-type sensors at the most frequently used center of the frame allow for certain acquisition of the intended subject. In addition, the number of active focus points can also be limited to 11.


Superior subject acquisition and tracking performance

Depending upon the scene or subject, the AF-area mode can be selected from Single-point AF, Dynamic-area AF, 3D-tracking and Auto-area AF. Wide focus areas containing a large number of focus points work together to accurately acquire and track the subject.


5. D-Movie for recording and editing of full HD movies

The D7000 is equipped with the D-Movie function that enables recording of high-definition movies (1920 x 1080p, 24 fps) exhibiting superior video quality. Autofocusing during movie recording is possible using contrast-detect AF. When the focus mode is set to Full time-servo AF (AF-F) and the AF-area mode to Subject-tracking AF, the camera automatically maintains focus on a subject moving throughout the frame in three dimensions.


The D7000 also offers in-camera movie editing functions that allow users to save a single frame as a still JPEG image or delete unnecessary portions from the beginning or end of movie files. Recording of stereo sound via an external microphone is also supported.



Other functions and features new to the D7000

A glass pentaprism for viewfinder frame coverage of approximately 100% and magnification of approximately 0.94x

High-speed continuous shooting of up to 100 shots at approximately 6 fps, and a very precise and durable shutter unit that has passed testing for 150,000 cycles

New U1 and U2 settings on the mode dial allow users to assign frequently used settings including ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation, for instant recall, by simply rotating the mode dial

Live view function that can be smoothly enabled with the dedicated live view switch

Double SD memory card slot that enable use of two SD memory cards (SDHC, SDXC also supported)

The Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL15, which enables capture of 1,050 shots, when fully charged

Support for the new Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D11 (sold separately), which holds not only Rechargeable Li-ion Batteries EN-EL15, but also AA batteries

does every nikon model really need a thread of its own?

Erm, yea? Perhaps cause Nikon has toooo many model and toooo many diff discussions and priority?

I see D90 used to have a standalone thread, so I just open a new thread for discussion =) I think there will be a lot of D7k user around soon, the boxes are vaporizing from the shelves like there is no tomorrow.

Hey kent thanks for adding me into the list... Proud to join u guys... Cheers... Hope more members will join =)

congratz kent... got urself d7k already ooo. nice...

Seriously, isn't it better mod/staff or anyone start a poll to see whether D7000 should merge into D90 thread or D300/D3 thread?

We already have D3000/d5000 thread, a D90 thread and a D300/D3 thread, now the 4th thread is making this subforum very messy...

True. Merge with D90! Easier to discuss, share, etc

Merge, merge, merge.. thread reported

o0o.. Canon got bigger fan base but didn't need such many thread.. Sony got more cameras than Nikon but not needed so much thread too

have u been to the threads?
u go to d90 thread, they're talking about d7k, d300s and d3..
the same goes to d5000/d40 thread..
only a few talk about the respective model..
mostly are talking about accessories, talking about comparisons, etc..
go and read the last 5 post from each thread, and u'll see what i mean..

+1 here..
look at Sony, they have 3 different camera, the alpha SLR, the NEX, and the SLT..
but they just recently (after quite some time being released) broken into alpha and NEX thread..
but the SLT is still in the SLR thread discussion..

mod should have a look at this phenomenon..

random citations taken from the thread..

so.. what priority does that shows?

I agree to merge all NIKON thread together. Mod please take a look. After all, most of the thingy are the same !

sometimes i got confused also, forgot which thread i post the info on.. hahaha

So should I start the thread to have all in one ?

hahaha make a poll first loh..
so everyone can share mah..
like u & me & few others posting about d90 in d40 thread, or d300 in d90 thread, d7000 in d300 thread etc etc..
it kind of cumbersome to track..
