D7000 preview by Chase Jarvis

D7000: First Impressions at Pixiq
"The D7000 promises much and on first showing has the potential to meet the high expectations many will place upon it. Of course only time spent with a full production example, shooting in real world conditions will confirm this, so we will all just have to be patient and wait until later October, when the camera is due to be released." |
D7000 First Impressions by Terry White
"This is going to be an easy one! First off I've been waiting for this camera for a long time. I was waiting for it before I even knew it existed. What I was waiting for was a camera that met the specs I wanted for a second body that I would use primarily for travel and DSLR video." |

Nikon D7000 vs Nikon D90 and Canon EOS 60D High ISO Noise at CameraLabs
"At 3200 ISO, both cameras are exhibiting higher noise levels, but the D7000 has taken a visible lead in detail retention, while the EOS 60D has become relatively muddy and ill-defined." |

Nikon D7000 vs. Canon 60D at PhotoRadar
"A keen sports and action photographer who can afford to buy fast lenses is likely to be best served by the D7000 because of its more customisable and versatile AF system. Meanwhile the photographer who likes to explore the world from a range of angles will find the Canon EOS 60D a better choice." |
And The Winner Is....My unscientific conclusion on the Sony NEX VG 10 versus HDSLR by Bob Krist
"So despite the fact that I have to stick on an auxiliary LCD loupe, an auxiliary mic and a sound recorder, and a wacky shoulder stabilizer to get the same ergonomic ease that the Sony gives you with no after-market chatchkas hanging off it, the nod goes to the DSLR...in this case, the D7000, but I have a feeling it will eventually be the D5100 (because of the articulating screen)." |
The Great Camera Shootout 2011 - Zacuto's review of DSLR video quality, including the D7000

D7000 review at ePhotozine
"At first glance, the D7000 is difficult to pigeon hole in Nikon's current range of cameras. Although it is marketed as a consumer DSLR, it offers many features you'd expect to find on professional models, such as weather sealing, a fast continuous shooting rate and magnesium build. After using the camera for some time, I can see what Nikon are doing here. It is aimed squarely at those who may look towards the company's professional offerings, and maybe don't need the extra ruggedness, but do require a camera they can grow with whatever their level of photography." |
D7000 first impressions by Brad Hill
"OK - time to summarize: Here's a relatively low-priced DSLR with 50% gain in effective magnifcation (crop factor) that can produce reasonably high resolution images at even quite high ISO's (with noise reduction). The camera's controls and operations, including autofocus seem to work very well in the field. My own list of likes is longer than my list of dislikes (and which are, admittedly, quite nit-picky). Does Nikon have a winner here? I think so." |
D7000 review at PhotographyBLOG
"For D90 owners, the D7000 is a great upgrade and even a real alternative to the more expensive D300s. The Nikon D7000 is a fantastic addition to Nikon's DSLR lineup and is a well-deserved recipient of our Highly Recommended award." |
D7000 review at PhotoRadar
"Our tests reveal that the Nikon D7000 is an excellent camera that is capable of capturing a high level of detail across the full sensitivity range...With a professional-level lens mounted the D7000 proves itself to have an excellent AF system capable of accurate results in very difficult situations." |
Secrets of the Nikon D7000 by Bob Krist
"I don't normally get too excited about gear upgrades anymore, but the new video function in this camera is bringing back the fanboy in me. There are, however, a couple of other features in the camera that might be confusing, even to longtime Nikon users." |
D7000 review at NikonGlass blog
"At the moment, the D7000 is the best camera for the student or serious amateur who needs a camera that can do lots without weighing or costing the same as a pro model. Even pro’s will be attracted to this camera, but a word of caution: Make sure you understand my comments regarding “The sharpness issue”." |
D7000 review at DPReview
"In the final analysis, the Nikon D7000 is a very good DSLR which only just falls short of greatness. Nevertheless, the Nikon D7000 earns our second highest award and will make a great addition to the kit bags of current D90 users, D300(S) users and ambitious photographers that are new to the Nikon brand alike." |
First Hands-On With Nikon D7000 by David Schloss
"For the enthusiast who wants world-class performance from a camera without paying the same entry-level price as one of the full-frame models, the D7000 is the current champ." |
D7000 review (Part 1) by Gordon Lewis - Party II of review
"So in the end I’m still on the fence about the D7000. It’s an excellent camera but not so wonderful that I’m willing to invest in hundreds of dollars of large, heavy Nikkor lenses, especially when rentals are so readily available." |
D7000 review at CameraLabs
"So overall the D7000 is undoubtedly an impressive DSLR, although one where almost all the features come with conditions you should be aware of...Don't get us wrong, the D7000 is very good, but it's no semi-pro DSLR." |
D7000 review at PDNOnline
"The Nikon D7000 isn’t a pro body but it is sturdy and weather resistant and has enough speed and features to appeal to some pros. The headline with this camera is that it follows up on the pioneering legacy of the D90, the world’s first HD-DSLR, by adding the ability to shoot 1080p video with continuous autofocus. But let me add another headline here, the D7000 is not only a versatile and fun DSLR to use, it’s the best camera of the year." |
D7000 review at DigitalCameraInfo
"We found that the D7000 performed very well in our tests, achieving high scores for color accuracy, noise, low light shooting and dynamic range. The only test that it struggled with was resolution, where we found that the images it captured were not as sharp as cameras such as the Canon 60D or 7D." |
D7000 review by Thom Hogan
"Bottom line: the D7000 an excellent consumer camera. Nikon has upped the ante with the D7000 and produced a real winner. It's very hard not to like the camera, and it takes images that ought to be good enough for just about anyone." |
D7000 review at DigitalCameraReview
"Still image quality is excellent and high ISO noise performance is the best in the Nikon cropped sensor fleet by a fair margin. The new AF system is quick, accurate, and doesn't want to let go of the track on a moving subject once it acquires. If you've got old Nikon lenses, welcome aboard - the D7000 responds to legacy glass like any Nikon pro body." |
D7000 review at PhotoReview
"Subjectively we feel the D7000 may be one of the most responsive cameras for taking photographs that Nikon has produced thus far. For shooting stills, the AF system was quick, quiet and accurate under most lighting conditions and hunting was almost negligible in very low light levels. The viewfinder showed minimal mirror blackout in the continuous shooting mode." |
D7000 review at TrustedReviews
"The D7000 is a fantastic step up camera for those who have outgrown entry level digital SLRs or for those who want to upgrade from older mid-range models, with the advantage this time around of a bang up-to-date feature set for the Nikon range; the obvious advantages of Full HD video and optional extras such as GPS making it a true tool for the multimedia age. It's also a sensible option for those amateur enthusiasts who land the odd paid job now and again, but who wouldn't want (or necessarily need) all the extras, nor expense, of an actual pro DSLR." |
D7000 review at PopPhoto
"The Nikon D7000 is a pleasure to use, and it carries on the tradition of the company’s very impressive advanced midrange DSLRs. If you have Nikon glass and are ready to upgrade, you won’t regret it. However, if you are looking to enter the DSLR world at this level and are not yet committed to a particular brand, you should read our Canon 60D test to learn about a model that’s very competitive with the D7000 in performance and features." |
D7000 review at Steve's Digicams
"Bottom line - Nikon has hit a home run with their latest D-series model. The D7000 exceeded almost all of my expectations, with only a few "issues", such as the strong exposures it created outdoors. Its high ISO capabilities are almost unmatched in my opinion, and the camera's shooting performance in both single and bursts modes is smoking fast." |
D7000 review by Simon Stafford
"In general the D7000 is an excellent all-round performer that delivers very high image quality, ample resolution, much better low light capabilities than any previous Nikon DX D-SLR camera, and quick accurate AF, combined with highly functional and practical HD video." |
D7000 review by the Mansurovs
"... the Nikon D7000 is a winner in pretty much every other category."
- D7000 follow-up review by the Mansurovs
"Ever since I published the review, I have been getting a ton of feedback on this camera. While most of the feedback is great, some photographers complain about focusing and other issues on the D7000. Some end up returning the camera back to Nikon, while others send it to Nikon for repair. I have been carefully tracking most of the complaints and I have some interesting data to share."

D7000 review at BJP-Online
"As a backup to a medium-format or D3x setup, it’s a bargain; as an introduction to Nikon’s pro range, it’s perfect." |
D7000 review at Imaging-Resource
"The Nikon D7000 is an excellent digital SLR, and an important player in Nikon's digital camera lineup. It's my first choice for anyone serious about getting great shots of their family, a great choice for the enthusiast photographer, and a great starter camera for anyone wanting to get more serious about still or video photography." |
D7000 review at PhotographyReview
"The D7000 is an awesome camera. In spite of my quibbles about image quality, it’s as good as any other crop-sensor digital SLR on the market and I was always happy to have it in my hands. The auto focus and six FPS burst rate are great for action subjects and the low-light image quality is very good. Video performance is also great." |
D7000 review at DCResource
"The D7000 is one of those cameras that doesn't require that extra paragraph of "issues that don't fit anywhere else". In other words, it's pretty darn good. Its combination of photo quality (once you get used to its love of overexposure), performance, build quality, and manual features make it a camera that enthusiasts will really enjoy. As always, I advise you to take a close look at the competition, but if you don't, rest assured that the Nikon D7000 has earned my recommendation." |
D7000 review at the Phoblographer
"The D7000 is not considered a pro camera like the D300S, D700 or the D3S buts its great image quality says otherwise. You can shoot a wedding, film, portraits and anything else you can think of with this camera. The camera is ultra-versatile and perfect for events. If you are looking for a full frame camera, wait, there should be one in the pipeline from Nikon." |
D7000 review at NeoCamera
"Without a doubt, the Nikon D7000 actually surpasses most cameras with the our Excellent rating. It an excellent DSLR camera with a complete set of professional features that delivers outstanding image quality and speedy performance while giving access to the flexibility of Nikon's substantial lens line-up." |
D7000 review at Shutterbug
"In all, the D7000 was a pleasure to use, especially considering all the interesting and useful lenses Nikon has introduced of late. At about $1200 body only it seems a bit high for a DX-format camera, but the results I got, the body build, and the flexibility it offers in the field made it seem like more of a reasonable price for the quality and features it offers." |
D7000 review by Richard Peters
"So would I recommend it? Without hesitation, in fact 3 of my wildlife photographer friends have purchased them as backups after me raving about it to them! I myself sold my D300 soon after getting this loaner, and I certainly didn’t pester the good folk at Nikon to take it back from me in a hurry!" |
D7000 review by Todd Owyoung
"After testing the performance of the new Nikon D7000 and using this camera in my professional work, I have to declare this camera Nikon’s best DX format DSLR currently in production. Even at 16mp, second only to the Nikon D3x in Nikon’s stable, the D7000 delivers very clean files at high ISO. In testing, the D7000 was only about a stop behind the big-sensored Nikon D700, which is impressive considering the tight pixel pitch of the new DX sensor." |
D7000 mini review by Jonathan Valin (a noted author and audiophile reviewer for TAS)
"The Nikon D7000 is the best digital camera I’ve ever used. It is so good—and so versatile—that I’m beginning to waver about my full-time commitment to film. The thing actually makes images that look more like film." |
