## Description

Product Description          Nikon’s D7000 has the features you need in a size you want including a high resolution 16.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor for large prints and tight cropping, high speed 6 frames per second continuous shooting up to 100 shots, breathtaking Full 1080p HD Movies of up to 20 minutes with full time autofocus and a low-noise ISO range of 100-6400, expandable to 25,600 (Hi 2) lets you shoot in near darkness or slow down the action. The 39 Point autofocus features nine cross-type sensors which can be configured in combinations of 9, 21 or 39 points including a 21 point ring so you can concentrate on composition.What’s in the box: Nikon D7000 DSLR Camera with NIKKOR 18-200mm DX VR II Lens and Accessory Bundle, AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II Zoom Lens, EN-EL15 Lithium-Ion Battery (1900mAh), MH-25 Quick Charger for EN-EL15 Battery, AN-DC1 Camera Strap, UC-E4 USB Cable for Nikon SLR Digital Cameras, EG-D2 A/V Cable, DK-5 Eyepiece Shield (Replacement), DK-21 Rubber Eyecup for Nikon D80, D90, D200 & D7000 Digital Cameras, BM-11 LCD Cover for D7000, HB-35 Lens Hood, BF-1B Body Cap, BS-1 Hot-Shoe Cover, 16 GB SD Memory Card, ViewNX 2 Software CD-ROM, Nikon Carrying Case, Nikon School Fast, Fun & Easy DVD, Nikon Guide to SLR Photography and Limited 1-Year Warranty.             From the Manufacturer           D7000 Meet the new Nikon D7000, a camera ready to go wherever your photography or cinematography takes you. Experience stunning images with sharp resolution and smooth tonal gradation, thanks to the 16-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor and a powerful EXPEED 2 image processing engine. Take advantage of its wide ISO range of 100 to 6400 (expandable to 25,600) and its incredibly low levels of noise. Expect your images tack-sharp and accurately exposed, thanks to the camera’s 39-point AF and Scene Recognition System using a 2,016-pixel RGB matrix metering sensor. And with an approx. 0.052-second release time lag and approx. 6 frames-per-second shooting, you won’t miss a moment.  You’ll see exactly what you’re capturing with the approx. 100% frame coverage viewfinder, and for those who want to shoot both stills and movies, the D7000’s D-Movie capabilities now include Full HD 1080p capture with full-time autofocus and manual exposure. All of this advanced imaging technology is kept safe beneath the magnesium alloy covering the top and rear chassis of a compact body, whose sealing has been severely tested against moisture and dust. The D7000 is ready to shoot indoors and out, and at 150,000 cycles tested, the camera’s durable shutter unit helps you keep shooting. Combine all this with the unmatched NIKKOR lens lineup and Creative Lighting System and you have everything you need to explore your imagination to its fullest. Where can creative freedom like this take you? Find out, with the D7000.  D7000 Highlights  Stunning image details: 16.2 effective megapixels  Whether you want to make large prints or crop tightly in an image, the D7000 delivers the resolution you need. At its heart is a DX-format CMOS image sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels, optimally engineered to gather more quality light through sharp NIKKOR lenses. Coupled with 14-bit A/D conversion (12-bit selectable), the D7000 produces stunning images that are richer in tone and detail than previously possible in DX format. The A/D conversion happens within the sensor, thereby maintaining exceptional image integrity without sacrificing shooting speed or energy efficiency. Combine these with the agile DX format and its signature 1.5x focal length telephoto potential and you can begin to see where this kind of shooting power can take you.  Improved image quality and speed: EXPEED 2 image processing engine Sometimes you want to capture the subtle tones of a sunset. Other times you want to freeze the action. The D7000 delivers both, thanks to the newest generation of image processing engine, EXPEED 2, which performs multiple tasks with more speed and power. Expect smoother tonal gradations, even in difficult shadows and highlights, for a greater sense of depth in your images. Shoot continuously at 6 frames per second so you can capture the action you’ve been missing. Focusing performance such as face recognition in Live View mode is also further improved, letting you concentrate on your composition.   Standard ISO 100 to 6400, expandable to ISO 25600 equivalent With improved pixel quality of the image sensor comes a wider ISO range from the DX-format — ISO 100 to 6400 has now become standard with the D7000, enabling you to handle a wider range of lighting situations: from the bright and sunny outdoors to low-lit evenings and interiors. Nikon’s renowned noise reduction technology has been upgraded even further. Throughout the range, the D7000 delivers sharp images with minimized color noise. And thanks to the higher processing speed, even when High ISO noise reduction is activated, you can keep shooting continuously without stress. Quality high-ISO performance can also enhance a lot for movie shooting, allowing you to capture the mood of a scene using only available light.  Capture Full HD 1080p D-Movie with full-time autofocus and manual exposure The D7000 welcomes in a new era of movie capture: Full HD 1080p and movie editing functions for exceptional cinematic reproduction and quality. In addition to smooth-moving images, the camera can compensate for distortion and other image-degrading problems. Besides auto exposure mode, the D7000 offers manual exposure mode, which locks in the exposure value when shooting scenes with varying contrast levels, such as when panning from a bright window to a dark interior. Aside from a built-in monaural microphone, the D7000 incorporates an external microphone jack for high-quality stereo sound recording options.  Improved quality in highlight and shadow: Active D-Lighting  Nikon’s exclusive Active D-Lighting offers the ability to preserve details in the highlights and shadowy areas of images shot in high-contrast scenes.   Whether you’re dealing with bright skies and a dark foreground or deep shadows where you can’t use a flash, the EXPEED 2 image processing engine renders those scenes with smoother tones — even at its highest settings. Simply select Auto in Active D-Lighting mode and the camera can adjust to the scene’s contrast levels or bracket them into three frames of varying strength levels. Even when Active D-Lighting is activated, you can still maintain the continuous shooting rate.  Now even more precise: The Scene Recognition System The D7000 incorporates a built-in exposure-metering sensor with a far larger pixel count than any other D-SLR camera before it. The 2,016-pixel RGB sensor reads the scene’s brightness and colors more accurately, and then applies this reading to optimize not only exposure, but also autofocus, white balance and i-TTL flash calculations — all in mere milliseconds prior to the actual exposure. With more pixels, the D7000 can recognize even smaller subjects — both moving and stationary. The newly improved Scene Recognition System delivers better photographs in every way.  Wide-area coverage, powerful 39-point AF The D7000’s strategically positioned 39 AF points cover a significantly wide area of the frame, giving you flexible compositional possibilities. The nine AF points in the center utilize powerful cross-type sensors — especially useful when you need tack-sharp focus such as with portraits and macro work. And unlike other manufacturers’ systems, the D7000’s nine cross-type sensors work with all AF NIKKOR lenses f/5.6 or faster. The D7000 offers a variety of AF area modes, including dynamic-area AF using 9, 21, 39 points. Switch between the three, depending on the predictability of your subjects’ movement, and the selected AF point and surrounding points will track your intended subject automatically.   There is also 3D tracking, which continuously follows moving subjects within the 39 AF points, indicating the activated AF point in the viewfinder. Utilizing Nikon’s Scene Recognition System, Auto-area AF properly judges the main subject within 39 AF points and focuses on it. Therefore, no matter what the situation or composition calls for, the D7000’s autofocus system will be ready to meet your focus needs.  39-point AF & 2,016-pixel RGB sensor Stay focused on what matters most.  Sophisticated AE with highlight analysis After the incredibly accurate 2016-pixel RGB sensor reads a scene’s lighting information such as brightness and colors, the D7000 cross-references what it sees with imaging data from 30,000 real-world shooting situations. This way, the renowned 3D Color Matrix Metering II delivers exposure results that are faithful to how you see light and shadow interplay, even in difficult lighting situations. This intelligent metering technique also delivers exceptionally accurate i-TTL flash exposures, and it all happens within milliseconds for both speed and precision.  Informed auto white balance (AWB) Based on its massive collection of shooting data compiled from various light sources, the D7000’s intelligent AWB algorithm renders white as truly white — even when shot under a wide range of light sources, including the difficult mercury vapor lighting. The D7000 also carries another AWB mode that maintains incandescent warmth in your images.  Contrast AF for live view and D-Movie Live View and D-Movie users can rejoice, because with the D7000, face-priority AF is now faster and more powerful than ever. Up to 35 people can be. For moving subjects such as pets, subject-tracking AF keeps them in focus. Normal-area AF is recommended for pinpoint focus and wide-area AF for handheld shooting. All are effective both for Live View shooting and movie recording.  6 Frames Per Second Shooting up to 100 Images  Say farewell to missed opportunities. The D7000 incorporates a new driving mechanism to conduct its remarkably fast and precise mirror movements, giving you an approx. 0.052 second release time lag and an approx. 0.13 second start-up time. What’s more, you can continuously shoot at approx. 6 frames per second at both 14-bit and 12-bit A/D conversion for RAW shooting.        Rugged and protected: compact magnesium alloy body and sealing against dust and moisture With a top and rear cover of durable magnesium alloy, the D7000 is ready for the outdoors. Nikon engineers paid meticulous attention to where exterior parts join by employing durable sealing against moisture and dust. The compact body has also undergone severe environmental tests to prove its rugged reliability.       Approx. 100% frame coverage viewfinder With approximately 100% frame coverage in the viewfinder, what you see is what you exactly capture. The specially coated glass pentagonal prism and precision-crafted finder screen offer not only a bright viewfinder image, but also enable you to easily confirm when a subject is in focus.       Precision and durability: 150,000 cycles tested shutter unit The D7000 has a shutter speed range of 1/8000 to 30 seconds, with a top flash synchronization speed of 1/250 second. And just like with professional models, the shutter unit is tested for 150,000 cycles in severe conditions, proving precision and durability.      Intuitive operation: strategically located dials, buttons and switches Each and every control on the D7000 has been strategically placed for streamlined operation. The exposure mode dial and release mode dial are stacked on the same axis for easier access. Two new user settings can be assigned to the exposure mode dial. The release mode dial now offers a quiet shutter release mode for near-silent operation and one-touch Live View and movie recording are now possible, thanks to a newly designed switch and button structure.  921k-dots, 170-degree viewing angle, 3-inch LCD monitor The D7000 features an expansive 3-inch VGA LCD monitor with reinforced glass. Its approx. 921k-dot resolution assures clear, detailed display of images, which proves invaluable when confirming focus or assessing image sharpness. The wide 170° viewing angle and bright display make it easy to review images or confirm menu settings when shooting outdoors.   Electronic Virtual Horizon Especially useful for landscape shooting, the virtual horizon indicated in the LCD lets you know when the camera is level. The virtual horizon can also be displayed during Live View shooting.  Twin SD card slots (cards not included) Two memory card slots offer a number of advantages: sequential recording; recording the same images simultaneously on two cards; recording RAW and JPEG separately onto two different cards; and duplicating images from one card to another. It’s also possible to designate a specific card with more memory for use at the time of movie recording.    Intelligent power management After carefully scrutinizing every aspect of the camera’s circuitry, Nikon engineers have designed the D7000 for maximum performance with minimized power usage. With the newly designed Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL15, 1,050 frames* can be taken on a single charge. *With EN-EL15, based on CIPA standards.     Nikon Creative Lighting System The D7000 has a built-in pop-up flash that covers a 16mm lens perspective without vignetting. The flash is fully compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and delivers well-balanced flash exposures thanks to the innovative i-TTL flash control. The built-in flash also offers Commander mode to trigger remote flash units when using Advanced Wireless Lighting. The dual advantages for i-TTL technology and wireless capability make sophisticated remote flash control simple and inspiring. One simple remote flash from the side using the SB-900, SB-700 or SB-600 creates more texture, dimension and mood in ways that available light cannot. For more sophisticated creative effects, the small and intelligent SB-700 has been designed to make the control of remote multiple flashes even easier.  Picture Control: Portrait You can transform the look of an image simply by selecting from the camera’s Picture Control menu. Choose from the following settings: Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Landscape, and Portrait. You can even adjust parameters such as sharpness and saturation and then save them as Custom Picture Controls.  Optional Multi-Power Battery Pack MB-D11 The dedicated battery pack MB-D11 ensures longer battery power. You can expect more than 2,010 shots*. The MB-D11 is equipped with a shutter release button, command dials and a multi-selector useful for vertical composition shooting. It also provides better camera balance when a long telephoto lens is used.  *With two EN-EL15 (one in camera and one in MB-D11), based on CIPA standards  ViewNX 2 — Your imaging toolbox Browse and organize images easily and efficiently with ViewNX 2. This bundled, all-in-one software helps you view, edit, store, and share both photos and movies.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First DSLR
*by R***M on January 16, 2013*

First I would like to say this is my first DSLR. I decided to go big so I'm not limited by options in the future. I know some people say not to because it's dumb to do, I beg to differ. I learn stuff really quick. In the few hours I played with it I was getting close to pro shots with it. I did however spend my days on YouTube watching tutorial videos until it came of course.This camera is great, heavy (A little over 3 pounds with lens on it), but great. The D7000 does everything I need to do, although I find myself needing a macro lens because the 18-200mm is not good enough for close up shots, I mainly do landscape anyway. Though I like to do a lot of close up photography was wishing I had a macro lens the whole time. So if that is what you like to do then look into the Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SLD DG Macro Lens with built in motor for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras for a cheaper alliterative.This camera is also weather sealed. But NOT waterproof. So this means DO NOT GET IT WET!To keep this review short: I really love this camera, but you will find yourself wanting to spend more on lenses. If you can afford this camera than get it.I wouldn't bother with buying an ESC for your camera either. You can get your homeowner's insurance to cover it and you're protected against more than you would be with an ESC.As for how many photos you can take:I always take my images on the highest setting.With 32GB of memory you can get 1,000 photos.With JPEG+RAW you can get about 400.Maybe get two 128GB SD cards and put them into the camera. That should have you set for a long time.You should have maybe 2-3 extra batteries also if you're taking this places also where you're unable to charge.You should be able to get around 800 shots per battery.

### ⭐ Cant use Auto mode Too much while balance issues
*by D***V on May 30, 2013*

I wanted to buy a one time DSLR camera for at least couple of years.This is my first DSLR,but i used canon T3i and Nikon D5100 from brother and friends.Initially i wanted to buy first Nikon D5100 and after seeing lots of positive reviews of Nikon D7000 I bought this package..I was very enthusiastic after receiving it and wanted to use in my all trips.Photos taken in Auto mode are too bad, all photos had more white shades.I am not sure after paying $14++ how come Nikon could not even make right Auto mode .However, I stopped using auto mode and tried Manual mode,but after trying all White balance settings ..Photos are still worst...My Canon SD450 small camera photos are far much better than this DSLR..I am not sure its defective one which i have received or its camera problem..I am very unhappy after buying this camera...At least in D7000 case,I learnt that sometime quality doesn't come by paying more money for camera..I need to be more careful what it deserves for that prize.....I have to look for another camera now after some months..i stopped using this and will use my canon SD500 now onwards...Atleast i can take decent photos in auto mode.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything I expected, and more, except the memory card (hopefully)
*by N***Y on February 9, 2013*

I purchased this camera bundle in anticipation of a big European excursion, which I would like to document photographically. I enjoy shooting landscapes, architecture, and wildlife. After a lot of research, I decided on the D7000 as an upper level consumer camera, and the 18-200mm lens as a versatile lens solution for all the situations I anticipated.The camera itself is phenomenal. The viewfinder is vivid and clear, everything responds nicely, and it's solid. It's weighty, but not too much, which makes sense with the metal body. The built-in flash works well, even with the long lens (though I haven't tested how it casts shadows at the largest zoom). The only issue I've had is probably more an issue of getting used to a couple nuances of the camera. There are settings for being able to shoot without focus for two of the autofocus modes, but not for AF-A, so you have to fiddle with a button or tweak the focus ring slightly before the camera will respond to the shutter button.Thus far, the lens has been great as well. I was expecting it to be bigger than it is. It extends to a reasonable length, but still not that big, and at 18mm, it's a very manageable size. Some reviews show pincushion and barrel distortion from 150-200mm or so, which is visible when shooting architectural targets with many parallel or perpendicular lines. I haven't shot such scenes yet, and haven't noticed it in other shots, but there are software updates of some kind out for the lens/nikon software things that will automatically correct it, apparently.I haven't gotten to use the instructional booklets (other than the manual) yet, so I can't comment on those.The only issue that's at all concerning is with the supplied memory card. It's a SanDisk class 10 16 gig stick, which I have paired with an equivalent Team Group card. I have been shooting RAW+JPEG, which writes raw to one card and jpeg to the other. Two or three times, the camera has stopped me during shooting (flashing error in the viewfinder, card error or something on the little display lcd), saying that the first memory card (SanDisk) has errored. Sometimes it'll be fixed by turning the camera off and on, sometimes it'll quit complaining and just show the second memory card as being inserted. If I take the card out and put it back in, it'll read it and continue. I'm hoping it's just some weird thing with the memory card, not with the memory slot in the camera.*update* As I've shot a greater variety of photos, I've noticed several gradiations of grey spots in the upper area of my pictures. They are only really obvious when shooting solid background colors, such as a blue sky. A number of reviews at various places indicated they'd had to send the body back to nikon for cleaning, because the sensor had oil spots or something similar from manufacturing that wouldn't go away with an in-camera sensor clean. I tried a series of cleans and test shots and found they went away, or I thought they did, until they showed up again later. It could also be in the inner pieces of glass in the lens for me, though I'm not sure, as I don't have multiple lenses to try. It's a bit late to send in for repairs now, since I have a trip upcoming, but that's something to keep in mind--test with various types of shots and send it in while you can if you need to.
