Nikon D7000 review: Nikon D7000

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. Editors' note, May 12, 2015: I've updated the ratings to more accurately reflect how this older model fits into the current market at its lower price and with respect to its subsequent replacements. Additionally, I've revoked the Editors' Choice, originally conferred in November 2010, to make way for newer models.
Pros:
  • Excellent performance for its class
  • great viewfinder
  • control locations and operations streamlined over previous Nikon dSLRs
  • double SDXC-compatible card slots.
Cons:
  • No 1080/30p video.

Generally camera manufacturers tend to follow a well-defined update path and it's usually pretty clear which model is meant to be replaced by a new one. With the announcement of the D7000 Nikon has - to a degree - broken with this pattern.
Pros:
  • Good detail and dynamic range (even better in RAW
  • Exceptionally low shadow noise in RAW files
  • Arguably the best high ISO performance of any current APS-C DSLR
  • Good build quality and handling
  • Maximum ISO of 25,600 st full resolution
  • 1080p HD video mode with basic editing built-in
  • Efficient...
Cons:
  • Tendency to overexpose in bright sunshine/high contrast situations
  • ISO button is poorly positioned
  • and cannot be assigned to any other control point
  • Ditto white balance: poorly positioned
  • cannot be re-assigned
  • Exposure mode dial slightly loose
  • and easily knocked
  • Shooting mode dial can be...

The Nikon D7000 combines good usability and handling with excellent image quality in addition to a versatile ISO range.

Hands-on Report: Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera Review

Prior to launching the D7000, Nikon had some big shoes to fill in its prosumer/semi-pro line of cameras.

D7000 photo and video quality

I bought the D7000 as a second body to my D3 and after 3 weeks sold my D3. The photo quality of the D7000 matched that of the D3 after testing the two side by side. But what I really love about this camera is the video quality. Here is what I've filmed with it.

Nikon D7000 DSLR Review

If you've moved beyond point-and-shoots but aren't quite ready to make the jump to a pro-level DSLR, Nikon's impressive new D7000 wants to be your go-to shooter. The D7000 takes over for the old D90, but it also manages to compete well with the D300S, the next model up.
