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 Nikon D7000 is 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 Nikon D7000 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.

I wouldn’t normally post a review on another company’s site where I didn’t buy the item, but in this case I wanted to make people aware that even though the camera shows up as backordered on Best Buy, I still got mine within a week of ordering it. I’m upgrading from a D90 and from what I’ve seen so far, I’m glad I went with the Nikon D7000 as my new main camera (plan to use the D90 as my backup).

Pros: Faster shutter speed, quiet shutter-release option, bigger buttons, smoother command dial rotation, 39-points of AF, 100% viewfinder, auto focus locks in quicker when using live view (over the D90), dual SD card slots, continuous auto focus in video mode, can save customized shooting settings.

Cons: Different battery and battery grip required (from that of the D90)

I plan to write more as I use Nikon D7000 camera more…but definitely wanted to make people aware that Best Buy is a good option to get this camera and avoid the greedy sellers on Amazon who are advertising marked up used ones. Unfortunately Best Buy doesn’t sell the body only, but you can always try to sell the lens if you don’t want it. Oh, and I haven’t seen a problem with dead pixels either…yet!
