The D7000’s Live View is certainly quite functional as a basic means of framing for stills and video shooting, as long as you understand its limitations"
The D7000 is very similar to the D90. This makes it an easy upgrade for D90 users that want a more’serious’ camera, but don’t have the inclination to relearn a whole new ergonomics
Shutter Speed: 1/8000 ready, and still excellent burst rates if u r for that sporty kind.
Reasons to buy the Nikon D7000
Overall image quality
5/5: Great image quality
Live View
5/5 The D7000’s Live View is simply awesome! with 100% view-ability!
Color depth
5/5 Great color depth. The make believe 23.5 bits of unbiased, unadulterated color.
Dynamic range
5/5 Wide dynamic range 13.9 EV
Weather sealed
4/5 Reasonably Weather sealed: Shoot in extreme weather - I’ve used it in extreme Cold, and extreme hot conditions, but this is a Military grade calibre to survive the hard side of a shooter(Rain, Water, muddy, snowy and even sweaty hot weather). Reasonably Weather sealed means you ain’t goin’ to pump water jet on its body to learn about odds!
Movie continuous focus.
5/5 Movie continuous focus Makes it easy to get in-focus movies - Amazing!
Those who complain about backlags and focus fails please learn two things. 1) To make sure you set the movie continuous focus setting. 2) What more do you expect from a Camera this cheap? You need functionality of a’RED’ from this little achiever?
Focus points
5/5 Many focus points 39 Too good for a camera of this class.
Comparing with the closest Rival Camera, the D7000 is really worth for your money. Especially for Longer battery life, more storage slots(2), more lens options offered by Nikon and third parties(I use Nikon 18-105mm VR Kit Lens, Multi Flash Command mode(Wireless).fISO
50mm Prime from Nikon, 70-200mm VR I from Nikon, Rokinon 8mm Fish Eye(Manual) and the Sigma 70-300mm(non CPU).
With the Nikon SB 800 and SB 700 Speedlites.
Some Amateur Softboxes, Nikon Remotes, A Manfrotto Tripod(must have).
