Nikon D7000 Camera
Well
the wait is just about over. If you've been looking for the latest
addition from Nikon then the wait to order is over. If you are a D90
user or a D5000 user this is the upgrade for you. This is also what
Nikon refers to a mid-class DSLR, for those looking to get more out of
your photos but still on a little of a budget.
To start off the Nikon D7000 is going to give you a more aggressive feel do to it's magnesium alloy body shell and thicker rubber coating on the hand grip and rear of the camera. If your familar with the D300's then you will notice right away that the Nikon D7000 packs a lot more bang. As a matter of fact with 16.2mp it offers the second highest resolution of any Nikon DSLR camera. The D3X is the highest. This model also offers a newly designed and developed CMOS sensor that pumps straight into every single pixel the D7000 has. In addition to the extra resolution the sensor also offers a higher ISO span of 100-6400. This is expandable up to the equivalent of ISO 25,600.
Another Nikon D7000 Feature is a completely redesigned metering and AF system. A significant improvement to those used in the D90. With the Nikon D7000's 39-point AF array with 9 cross-type AF points, a new 2016-pixel RGB metering sensor to allow 30 AF tracking, this camera will be sure to distinguish subjects' shape and position for improved exposure and focus accuracy.
Some other changes include a significantly upgraded moive specifications. Up to 'full HD' (1920x1080) resolution at 24 frames per second. As if that weren't enough you also get 'full time' AF mode which allows you to maintain AF during live view and movie shooting. This is another upgrade from the D90.
Some other highlighted features to mention are, 6 frame per second shooting up to 100 images at 14-bit and 12-bit conversion, improved quality in highlight and shadow (check out these pictures taken with the D7000), informed auto white balance, approx. 100% frame coverage veiwfinder, 150,000 cycle tested shutter unit, twin SD card slots, Intelligent power management, and the optional multi-power battery pack. So it's apparent that Nikon has put thought and research into the improvements of it's latest camera the, Nikon D7000.

Nikon D7000 Unrivaled Technologies
With the Nikon D7000's
new
16.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor and it's new
EXPEED 2 image processing system, the Nikon
D7000 Digital SLR delivers superior
image quality with low noise. The EXPEED 2 image processing engine
combined with a 14 -bit Analog/Digital conversion bring a new level of
tanol gradations while managing color, contrast, exposure, and noise
resulting in brilliant image quality. And when it come to shutter speed
the EXPEED 2 manages this at a 50-millisecond response,
blazing AF speed, and rapid six frame-per-second burst speed for up to
100 images.
The D7000 D-SLR features an all-new 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.
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 3D Color Matrix Meter RGB 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 new sensor allows for a new “Ambient” white balance setting which can be activated to allow warm rendering in Automatic White Balance.
