Sleek, Brilliant, and Powerful. This is how the new Nikon D7000 is described; a camera that doesn't take photographs but captures reality in its purest and truest form. The D7000 redefines photography with an added touch of perfection.
Nikon's D7000 boasts a wide variety of features. It comes in a shiny black encasing which is comfortable to hold. It also has a 23.6x15.6 mm CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semi Conductor) Sensor and can capture photographs at a resolution of 16.2 Mega Pixels (which is about 16.2 million pixels). The camera is a Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera (DSLR) hence allowing a more accurate photo with depth and detail. It comes both with and without a 18-105mm VR lens (prices increase with the VR lens). However what makes this camera better than others is the Image Sensor Cleaning System and the Image Dust off from the Reference Frame. These two features are the Camera's primary anti-dust measures, thus preventing dust from ruining the camera or image.
The Photos clicked are high definition photos with resolutions going from 2464 x 1632 to 4928 x 3264 pixels. Such high quality has been developed for the first time in Nikon's DSLR cameras and thus making photography only even much more exciting and better. The camera can be also used to record HD movies with a resolution as high as 1920 x 1080 pixels at 24 frames per second. The camera features both an autofocus and a manual focus. The camera also has a 3 inch TFT LCD screen with a high resolution as well as a 170 degree ultra wide viewing angle.
D7000 consists of several shooting modes. Some modes are found in other cameras, and some modes have developed for the first time with the release of the D7000. There is the Pet Portrait, Candlight, Blossom, Autumn Colors, Food, Silhouette, High Key and Low Key. The white balance of the camera has several modes including the Incandescent, Fluorescent, Direct Sunlight, Flash, Cloudy and Shade. The Fluorescent mode offers even more specific tunings such as Sodium Vapor Lamps, White Fluorescent, Daylight Fluorescent, Cool White Fluorescent, Warm-White Fluorescent etc.
The D7000 is however quite heavy. Unlike other DSLR cameras of Nikon, the D7000 weighs 680 grams without the battery and 780 grams with the battery. That is almost near one kilogram. Hence the Camera does not necessarily add to the flexibility of the taking photographs. The chances of dropping it while taking photographs are quite likely due how heavy it is.
Nikon has also restricted the functions of the camera in many ways. One such limitation that the developers of this camera have included is the number of the photos that can be clicked in burst mode. However all these cons are ignored by many non-professional consumers because of the price. The Camera is much better than the other cameras such as the Nikon D90 and the Nikon D3000s, but cheaper. Hence the D7000 is the perfect camera for anyone looking for a high quality camera for either, personal use or professional use.
