Image quality
Weakness:
I do prefer CF cards over SD,
Bought the D7000 with extras (lens,grip extra battery, extras) Just moved away from shooting Sony for about 6 years. I wanted a system that I could build with felt like Nikon is it. SO far I have not been disappointed.

Strength:
I have a number of non-autofocus quality Nikon lenses, and the D7000 makes it easy to store their details of focal length and maximum lens opening. It allows nine different lenses!
Weakness:
Flash "thinking" - The one area I found that a time lag existed was when it was calculating and preparing flash for complex lighting situations.
I purchased a Nikon D7000 (ever so lightly used) on Ebay, to supplement my Nikon D2X I had bought about 7 years ago. the D7000 immediately became my favorite of the two. First, the autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate. Secondly, the lag time is very, very short. I work in Atlantic salmon restoration, and in late June was taking photos of leaping salmon - often they are out of the water 1 sec. or less. I achieved a great number of successes due to the fast reaction time of the camera.
Customer Service This Nikon D7000 has required no attention subsequent to purchase. Similar Products Used: D2X - Used for about seven years

Strength:
Good sensor
Weakness:
- Not enough buffer space for continious mode shooting. So if you need more then 10 frames/ 2 seconds continuous shooting don't buy this camera.
I was looking for my first DSLR. Canon did not feel good in my hands at all, Nikon felt perfect. Had to choose between nikon D90 and D7000. Chose the D7000 because of the better sensor.
Similar Products Used: Its my fiest DSLR, Only had a Canon G9 before and that one was out of focus all the time. |

Low noise up to ISO-1600 The Nikon D7000 has low noise in higher ISO for the price of camera for 16.2MP clean up to ISO-1600. Like the custom pre-set dial of U1 and U2. Similar Products Used: Nikon D-90 |

Strength:
Build
Weakness:
iso noise over 12500 looks crappy and yes there are times that you would want to use it
I love this camera. There are a few things that I am disappointed with but overall I do love this camera and is a huge jump from the d70 we were using. We use it for photographing people, in outdoor sessions. I think it's a perfect camera for that. |

Strength:
The new automation is very handy, almost all of the time, and the dark behavior of the sensor is much nicer than my D200. In addition, upconverting this to costco 20x30 format for digital printing is noticably sharper than the D200 images. I'm not sure this is only the result of the additional pixels, because I've also recently got two VR lenses (that work fine on either 200 or 7000) and that may also be involved.
Weakness:
Requires CPU (i.e. type D) lenses.
Nice step up for Nikon. Requires type D or later lenses. Automation less cranky than D200. Focus sometimes surprises you, keep an eye on it. Customer Service Haven't required any. Similar Products Used: D200

I get this camera as first my SLR camera. Picture quality, handling, video and battery life are excellent. Location for buttons and menus are very user friendly. I learn work with it about one week. Get Nikon D7000 and enjoy. |

Strength:
16 MP
Weakness:
Limited number of frames can be shot using interval shooting. From the moment I heard about this camera's release, I was very excited and immediately began the process of justifying its purchase. Once I was able to drop the $1200 all I could find was the kits and I really didn't want the lens that came with it so I waited. And waited. And waited some more. It took almost 3 months for me to find just the body, and I must admit that it was well worth the wait.

In a realistic sense, this camera is not a revolutionary model, or the perfect camera, however it's a very well rounded and capable camera. Currently, compared to most other models, this is one of the best cameras available.
