very good seller A+++++++

The good: Excellent performance for its class; great viewfinder; control locations and operations streamlined over previous Nikon dSLRs; double SDXC-compatible card slots.

The bad: No 1080/30p video.

The bottom line: An excellent dSLR for experienced shooters or Nikon professionals looking for a relatively cheap option, the Nikon D7000 delivers on almost all counts, including the company's best shooting design to date.

Nikon D7000

When it comes to mid-to-high-end dSLRs, it takes quite a bit to float my boat these days. I'm not looking for whizzy new features, bold redesigns, or insane burst rates for either myself or the shoppers I advise; to me, the perfect camera just gets out of the way between my eye and the final photograph (and perhaps video). That's a lot more elusive than you'd expect.

The D7000 is best non-professional camera system I've ever used or owned.

My wife & I recently bought a pair of D7000 cameras.
We've found that the external dedicated buttons for functions are far better than having to access menu's to activate them! We especially like being able to select the release modes this way.
I'm fond of the MB-D11 extended battery/grip, and the increased functionality it gives me. I can shoot all day, even flash mode settings, and I don't worry about having to replace the battery.

If that weren't enough, a 2nd SD card slot is built in! Now you're truly free from carrying extra batteries and cards that steal your attention and time from shooting pictures.

Of particular interest to me, is the D7000's ability to allow the user to push the camera to an astounding 6400 (up to 25600 in H2.0 setting), which allows you to shoot in extremely low light settings. Couple this with the ability to capture fast moving action, with up to 1/8000 sec. shutter speed!

Of the thousands of pictures I've taken with the D7000, I've never been disappointed with the results. If there were problems, it's been proven to have been mine, not the D7000.

The 16.2 Megapixel image sensor is large enough to allow very large image files to be captured and cropped to the users satisfaction.

There are quite a few pre-loaded settings the user can call upon in Scene mode. They are literally point and shoot, freeing up the user to concentrate on composition and quality.
If a user feels confident about trying to fly on their own, full manual mode can be used. Then, just set the aperture and the shutter speed to achieve the exposure you desire. Of course, the old standby's, Program, Aperture and Shutter priority modes can be utilized.
I know I've barely scratched the surface of this camera's features and strengths. They're just the one's I've found to be the most beneficial to me.

Of all the features the D7000 offers the user, I find it impossible to pick a single feature I'd call my single favorite.
If I had to pick, it would be the "Scene" mode. This allows users with minimal experience to obtain results seasoned professionals could obtain. That is a significant edge for anyone serious about obtaining the best photo's they can, with minimum effort, or experience. The only thing easier, would be if someone else took the pictures, and you were given credit for it.
The D7000 is a composite of it's parts, and all the parts work extremely well together.

Buy it. You won't regret it.

I've been taking pictures since I can remember myself, if it's with a Film in the 90's or Polaroid, or the Camera phones I had in the last few years. But I always wanted to "Go pro" and start shooting those amazing quality pictures you all probably see everyday in the news or on the Internet.

I chose the D7000 as my first professional camera because the D90 (which is awesome), is too out-dated and this one is Fresh and Inexpensive. The D7000 is not the cheapest camera you can buy, but after reading many many reviews and doing quite a big research, I came to the conclusion that I will not settle for less.

This camera has Many Many of the brilliant pro features you will find on a much more expensive camera. The technology is unbelievable, and the quality of the pictures is outstanding!, I do not think there is a better camera that you will get for this ones price, and why settle for less, when you can have a tool that will serve you for years.

I have it for a few months now, and I've used a few lenses, and many different shooting techniques and equipment. This camera kept surprising me with it's features, it simply has everything on the tip of your fingers, it's easy to change: Aperture, Shutter speed, ISO, White balance, Auto Focus setting and many more, with the quick-buttons you have preset on it's body.

It's a little bit heavy, but not too heavy. The weight keeps the camera more balanced in your hands. Even the front built-in Flash is quite alright, and you can take a decent photo with it (something you don't really get in every camera). It has a built-in Focus engine, which is very very important if you want to use manual or old lenses.

I have to thank Nikon for being brilliant and I thank myself for taking this step into the Pro world of photography.

Good luck.

Fabulous camera with perfect balance of quality, features, size and price

As a serious amateur photographer, I have been using a Nikon D3 but was looking for a smaller, lighter camera for travel that would accept Nikon AIS manual focus lenses (I use them a lot). I am more than happy with the D7000. It takes wonderful photos -- almost as good as the D3 (which remains still better in low-light) and has every feature most of us could ask for. It is a very well-built camera (mine dropped onto the floor the first day I had it and suffered no damage or malfunction at all-- thank goodness!), and designed with all the good ergonomics Nikon is famous for. It's not the cheapest camera, but it's a great value for what you get.

Moving up to the big leagues!!!

This camera takes excellent pictures. The picture quality is outstanding. The features are top notch, although it does take some learning on how to navigate around all the features. I would definitely say that this is a semi pro (if not pro) peace of gear. After owning a D7000 and learning how to use it, you will not want to own a camera lower then this, you will definitely notice the difference in picture quality of this compared to another camera. When used right, you will get professional results.
