Like the D90 before it, Nikon has deployed the latest technologies on the D7000 without losing sight of the desires of traditional photographers. The resolution has been increased from 12.3 to 16.2 Megapixels, while the movie mode now captures Full HD 1080p at 24fps with support for autofocus while filming. Continuous shooting has accelerated from 4.5 to 6fps and the viewfinder coverage increased to 100% over the previous 96%.
The D90's 11 point AF system has been boosted to a new
39-point system, while the metering now employs a 2016 pixel RGB sensor
instead of the previous 420 pixel system. Nikon's also toughened-up the
D7000 by using magnesium alloy on the upper and rear plates, whereas
the D90 was all plastic, and there are now dual SD memory card slots.It's an impressive specification which provides a big step-up from upper entry-level models like the D5000 and Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i, but the big change from the D90's era is Canon now has a new rival directly positioned against the D7000 in the form of the EOS 60D. In our full review we'll directly compare the design, features, performance and quality of the new D7000 against both the EOS 60D and its predecessor the D90.
In a temporary departure from our traditional review style, we've replaced our Design and Features pages here with a in-depth demonstration of the D7000 which you can find below. We strongly believe a video-based demo provides a better feel of how a camera performs in practice, and judging by your requests, most of the visitors to Cameralabs feel the same way. So as a test, we've extended our D7000 video coverage way beyond previous tours at Cameralabs to a 51 minute presentation split across four sections - we believe it's one of the most detailed videos made about a camera and we'd love to hear what you think of this approach in the Cameralabs forum. If it proves popular we'll consider implementing it for other major launches.
