The D7000 is a new mid-class DX-format camera with a compact body loaded with a number of advanced functions. As the D-SLR market expands, D-SLR users are becoming more diverse to include those who demand the ability to capture images with greater definition and image quality, those looking for more advanced shooting functions, and those looking for the ability to record movies with the rich power of expression that is only possible with SLR cameras. The D7000 is a high-quality mid-class D-SLR that responds to user demands with a variety of the latest camera technologies and functions for high-quality, high-definition shooting, all in a durable, high-performance, yet compact body. Among its features are a new DX-format CMOS image sensor, Nikon's latest image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, a new 2,016-pixel metering sensor, a new AF system that utilizes 39 focus points, and the D-Movie function that enables recording of full HD movies.
D7000 primary features
1. A new DX-format CMOS image sensor and new image-processing engine,
EXPEED 2, both developed by Nikon enable capture of high-definition images
with superior image quality
The D7000 is equipped with a new Nikon DX-format CMOS image sensor and
a new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2. The camera offers an effective
pixel count of 16.2-million pixels and enables capture of high-definition
images exhibiting superior image quality with extremely detailed rendering
and rich tones with smooth gradations. With standard sensitivity range of
ISO100 - 6400 and additional increases up to Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent),
the camera offers improved capability with shooting under dim lighting,
such as in the evening or indoors, and also expands possibilities for expression
with rapidly moving subjects.
EXPEED 2 is Nikon's latest image-processing engine developed with the ideas,
know-how and technologies regarding digital images that Nikon has cultivated
over the years. EXPEED 2 enables faster image processing, a high level of
noise reduction, better color reproduction characteristics, and reduced
power consumption.
2. A compact, elegant body that offers both authenticity and flexibility
A magnesium alloy has been adopted for the top and rear covers for increased
durability in a size equivalent to that of the D90. All joints on the camera
body have also been sealed to ensure a greater level of water and dust resistance.
3. A new 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor
With 2,016 pixels, the new metering sensor developed for the D7000 offers
twice the metering pixels as our previous high-end metering sensor. Prior
to shooting, the 2,016-pixel RGB sensor acquires accurate information regarding
the scene. That information is then reflected in autofocusing, automatic
exposure, i-TTL balanced fill-flash, and auto white balance control for
extremely faithful images.
4. A new 39-point AF system
An AF sensor module with 39 effective focus points
Adoption of the new Multi-CAM4800DX autofocus sensor module enables certain
acquisition and tracking of the intended subject with 39 focus points.
Nine cross-type sensors at the most frequently used center of the frame
allow for certain acquisition of the intended subject.
In addition, the
number of active focus points can also be limited to 11.
Superior subject acquisition and tracking performance
Depending upon the scene or subject, the AF-area mode can be selected
from Single-point AF, Dynamic-area AF, 3D-tracking and Auto-area AF.
Wide focus areas containing a large number of focus points work together
to accurately acquire and track the subject
5. D-Movie for recording and
editing of full HD movies
The D7000 is equipped with the D-Movie function that enables recording
of high-definition movies (1920 × 1080p, 24 fps) exhibiting superior
video quality. Autofocusing during movie recording is possible using contrast-detect
AF. When the focus mode is set to Full time-servo AF (AF-F) and the AF-area
mode to Subject-tracking AF, the camera automatically maintains focus on
a subject moving throughout the frame in three dimensions. The D7000 also
offers in-camera movie editing functions that allow users to save a single
frame as a still JPEG image or delete unnecessary portions from the beginning
or end of movie files.
Recording of stereo sound via an external microphone is also supported.
