The Nikon D7000 is a 16.2 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) model announced by Nikon on September 15, 2010. It is a new class of camera placed between the semi-professional D300S and the 'prosumer' D90.[2][3][4][5] The D7000 offers numerous professional-style features over the D90, such as magnesium alloy body construction, weather and moisture sealing, a 2,016-segment color exposure meter, built-in timed interval exposure features, 39 rather than 11 focus points, dual SD memory card slots, virtual horizon (in live view and viewfinder) and compatibility with older non-CPU autofocus and manual-focus AI and AI-S Nikon F-mount lenses (including an electronic rangefinder with three-segment viewfinder manual focus indication) as well as tilt-shift PC-E lenses. At introduction the only Nikon DSLR with higher sensor resolution than the D7000 was the 24-megapixel Nikon D3X.
In 2011, the D7000 has received three awards, the Red Dot product design, TIPA's "Best D-SLR Advanced" category and the CameraGP Japan 2011 Readers Award.[6][7][8]

Reception
Reviews
Since its release, the D7000 has received many reviews.[19][20] Many reviews have been favourable, with some commenting that the D7000 is a viable alternative to the more expensive D300S and an upgrade over the D90.[21][22][23] Digital Photography Review awarded the camera an overall score of 80%, praising its feature set and image quality.[22] The D7000 received 4 out of 5 stars and the Editor's choice award in CNET's review.[23]
DxO Labs awarded its sensor an overall score of 80%,[24] above much more expensive competitors.[25]
There are image comparisons with many cameras at all ISO speeds in JPEG[26] and RAW.[27]
User Response
The D7000 was very much anticipated by Nikon consumers. The hype around its release made it very hard to find during the first months it was on the market.[28][29]
