From the Manufacturer
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 co
mpact
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 i
mproved, letting you concentrate on your co
mposition.
Standard ISO 100 to 6400, expandable to ISO 25600 equivalent
With i
mproved
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 co
mpensate
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.
