Nikon D7000 body (VBA290AE)

Nikon has decided to cement the DSLR generation on the market by releasing a reciprocal camera that will compete with the Canon 7D. It is impossible to call the D7000 a fundamentally innovative camera, since it is, most of all, an updated D90 with wide functionality and the ability to shoot HD video and something that almost reached the professional D300s.

The Nikon D7000 DSLR is aimed at the serious amateur photographer and offers a complete package for creative photography.

Camera:
The camera is equipped with a new, specially designed 16-bit DX-format CMOS sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels, which allows you to take pictures with a maximum resolution of 4928x3264 Px. The sensor sensitivity is now 100-6400 IS0, upgradable to an incredible 25600 IS0.

Nikon also rewarded it with a powerful EXPEED 2 processor with precision detail processing technology, which ensures high detail and sharpness of images. Thanks to this power, the camera works quickly with 39-point TTL autofocus (9 of which are cross points). Accordingly, the rate of fire of the device is now at a very decent level, which is 6 frames per second.

Video:
The new powerful processor allows not only high-quality and fast processing of images, but also supports the ability to shoot video in Full HD 1080p (1920x1080 pixels) at 60 fps. using the AF-F continuous focus mode of the camera. Video packets are recorded in compressed MPEG4 H.264 format. At the same time, Nikon designers equipped the device with a mini-HDMI port to synchronize it with external display sources. There is also an audio output port for accompanying a stereo sound track. The downside here can be noted — the video recording time limit is 20 minutes. To save footage, the Nikon D7000 supports SD, SDHC and the latest generation of SDXC cards. The device has 2 parallel slots for 2 cards. The Nikon D7000 DSLR has an excellent set of built-in photo/video editing options.

The camera has a 3-inch 921,000-dot LCD monitor that was inherited from the D90 and D300s. The viewing angle is up to 170 degrees, and it is convenient for the photographer to check the sharpness of pictures at a magnification of 1:1 or higher.
