This produces a halfway house between extra sturdiness and more standard construction, so it isn’t quite as weighty, sturdy or fully weather-sealed as a pro-spec camera would be, but it’s a tougher build than many others, including its clear-cut competitor, the Canon EOS 60D.Ī 3-inch screen on the rear has a 920k-dot resolution, and a 100 per cent field-of-view optical viewfinder is located above this. The D7000’s body is an amalgamation of part magnesium alloy on the top and base, and part polycarbonate for the rest of the body. It’s clear that low light shooting needn’t be a worry. With a high-resolution 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor at its heart, the latest EXPEED 2 image processing engine can render images from ISO 100-6400 as standard, and two “Hi” settings produce equivalent ISO 12,800-25,600 at full resolution too. The first, the D3100, amped up consumer expectation of what an entry-level DSLR could bring to the table and the D7000’s impressive specification looks to hold a similar stance for what Nikon describes as the consumer-level category. The D7000 is one of a pair of DSLR cameras to appear from Nikon this year. But just how good is this new tech and is the D7000 the true next generation DSLR?
BRAND NEW NIKON D7000 PRICE 1080P
A lot is new: a brand new 16.2-megapixel sensor can capture stills and 1080p HD movies, while a new 39-point autofocus system and 2106 pixel RGB metering sensor show there’s a lot going on under the hood. (Pocket-lint) - The Nikon D7000 is a new DSLR sandwiched between both the consumer and semi-pro categories.
