For those passionate about photography, the search for your next favorite camera ends with Nikon's D7000. Never ones to skimp on features, Nikon has packed the D7000 with its most advanced and useful options and a few fun extras. Capture images in crisp, vivid 16.2 megapixel resolution through the ground-breaking 2016-pixel RGB CMOS sensor. Customize to your heart's content with two user definable settings (U1 and U2), which let you set and store your favorite camera settings so you can get back to them at any time. Twin SD card slots expand your memory capacity or let you separate your files by type. Don't miss a second of the action with 6 frames per second continuous shooting. And because it's a truly versatile camera, the D7000 can record up to 20 minutes of full 1080p HD movies using full time autofocus. The included 18-105mm DX VR lens is compact and versatile, perfect for your everday needs. With its extra-low dispersion glass element and super integrated coating, you'll notice superior optical performance and color consistency. All in all, everything you need for outstanding digital still and HD video is captured in this camera kit.
A setting for every style
Easy to use, even for a relative novice, the D7000 also provides a slew of customizable and manual options for those who want more freedom. Starting with the User 1 and User 2 settings right on the mode selector dial, you can determine which combination of settings you use most often and save them for easy access later. Looking to be a little more artistic or a little more precise? Set your shutter speed, your exposure, your ISO, your focus, and your flash to capture the image as you want it seen. And when you want to shoot without having to think about all those settings, rely comfortably on the extensive selection of auto modes to get a great picture every time. Going beyond the standard, the D7000 even includes pet portrait, autumn colors, and food modes.
The excellence that is EXPEED
The result of Nikon's relentless pursuit of excellence and years of know-how, EXPEED image processing system delivers stunning images while maximizing camera performance. This version of EXPEED works in tandem with the 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor to produce finely detailed images that exhibit superb color reproduction and rich tonal gradation with minimal noise. Moreover, fast processing makes short work of power-hungry tasks like high-speed continuous shooting, Live View shooting, and Active D-Lighting, providing fast handling that many digital SLRs lack.
Fast motion in two forms
You've got two options for capturing images quickly. You can use the high speed continuous shooting to capture 6 frames per second for up to 100 shots. Even the most fleeting of movements will come alive in a series of still images. Your other alternative is to record to your camera in full 1080p HD video. Record up to 20 minutes of video, and transfer it to your TV or computer via HDMI. Use the built-in monoaural microphone, or external stereo microphone to record audio. And if full 1080p is a little more than you were looking for, choose from four other video settings to get just the right resolution.
A legacy of superior lenses
A camera's lens is your eye on the world, and the quality of that lens will directly affect the quality of your pictures. That's why every Nikkor lens is developed and designed by Nikon's passionate, uncompromising engineers. They start by choosing the most appropriate materials and then create the glass in their own glassworks, which is an increasingly unusual trait among camera manufacturers. Some of the world's most sophisticated technologies help Nikon's experienced lens designers make the world's finest quality lenses, so that by the time any given Nikkor lens reaches your camera, it has been individually tested, inspected, and fine-tuned to perform at its best. With this truth in mind, it's no wonder so many professional photographers around the world have relied on Nikkor lenses for decades. This same level of lens performance can be yours, too. The AF-S DX 18-105mm VR lens comes stock with the D7000. It serves as an example of the quality Nikkor is know for; compact and affordable, it delivers tack-sharp pictures with accurate colors and dramatic contrast. Quick, quiet, and precise automatic focusing assures sharp pictures for every scene you capture. Best of all, Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) technology located in the lens, assures you can count on more consistently sharp handheld pictures.
Vibration Reduction
Even a small amount of camera shake could blur your pictures, turning a great image into a disappointment. Shooting in low light or with telephoto lenses that amplify small camera movements are just two examples of conditions that cause problems for those not armed with Nikon VR technology. With Nikon's VR (Vibration Reduction) lenses, you can shoot in these situations and remain confident that your pictures will be sharper than ever before. Every VR Nikkor lens has its own specialized Vibration Reduction system built right inside. Unlike similar systems that are built into the camera body, each of Nikkor's lens-integrated systems uses specialized technologies that are optimized to match the optical design and common subject matter for a specific lens model. Not only does this minimize blurriness related to camera-shake more accurately and effectively, VR built into the lens has another significant benefit: a visibly steadier image through the viewfinder — something that in-camera systems simply cannot offer. A stable viewfinder image makes composing easier and substantially more comfortable. An extensive selection of AF-S and AF-I Nikkor lenses are engineered to make the most out of the D7000's exceptional performance.
