They were cool and generous, and I’m thankful for the opportunity. They did pay for me to go out and make pictures and make a short film – and I had a blast doing it. They didn’t pay me for a technical analysis. Nikon didn’t review this post and they didn’t tell me what to shoot.

I’m an opinionated photographer and a filmmaker, and these are my gut responses. Reminder, if you’re looking for official specs or 3rd party “testing”, I’m not your guy. Given that the top of the line flagship Nikon cameras I use everyday for my commercial work are several times that price, this is a sweet spot. = It’s not confirmable yet, but it will be around $1000 USD.
Nikon d7000 pro#
I used it almost entirely with the optional vertical grip because it feels more pro in my hand and the extra battery life is important for video.ĥ.

Nikon usually does great in this department, and this is on the mark. Personally I think ergonomics are waaay underrated on cameras in general. The photojournalist, the wedding shooter, the pro-sumer, the video crowd, backup body for pros. It was effortless to make great pictures.Ģ. I hope you dig some of the results.Ĭlick here to see a gallery of sample images I shot with the Nikon D7000.Ĭlick here to see a gallery of product shots of the Nikon D7000 camera, displays, buttons, dials, ports, etc.ġ. Nikon gave me several cameras, creative freedom, and a budget to rally my staff and a handful of friends out on the road to make some images for my portfolio, as well as a short film I’ve had in my mind for quite some time. There was no bloated production, no official script, not even a definitive shot list to be honest. In fact, I carried this concept throughout my experience.
Nikon d7000 full#
Sample photos from our shoot, images of the camera from every angle you can imagine, a full feature list, and some other links after the jump (click ‘more’ or ‘continue reading’…)īeyond what you see herein, there was nothing formal about my road test.
Nikon d7000 1080p#
This behind the scenes video (above), this short film Benevolent Mischief I got to make with the new 1080p HD video (below), and the still photos I shot after the jump tell my story of getting to play with this cool new camera. In the very same way, I got to “road test” the Nikon D7000. In reality they don’t care about that stuff.
Nikon d7000 drivers#
They’re armed with the basic tech specs, but the drivers aren’t overly saddled with capturing data and providing computer-style analysis.
Nikon d7000 driver#
When an automaker rolls a new car off the assembly line, the first thing they do is call in a professional driver to “road test” that car. _Magnesium alloy construction (read “pro quality”) There’s a feature list a mile long after the jump below, but the only data I cared about heading into this can be summed up in 4 lines: And so today I’m again excited to share with you another new camera that will get its moment in the spotlight next week at Photokina: the Nikon D7000. We have a new camera…” I love those calls. Well…low and behold, a few months ago I got another one of those calls from Nikon. That little camera kicked off this whole craze of photo and video convergence that we’re swimming in today. So sometimes mistaken when pressed.A while back I got call from the Nikon mothership which put the very first HDdSLR–the Nikon D90–into my hands months before the world had seen that technology. Unfortunately, the screen is not equipped with the touch feature, while the location of the button is too close.

The Display is surrounded by a variety of functions, such as menu buttons, image settings, ISO, navigation, preview, records, and more. The second slot can be used as backup storage media or to place a copy of the pictures stored in the main memory card. In the back there is a 3-inch LCD screen with 921,000 dots. Image source: įor those who require a large storage capacity, Nikon provides a dual memory card slot type SD, SDHC, and SDXC on the right side. But if you do not adjust, Active D-Lighting directly active. Actually, this feature can be set in accordance with the wishes, ie Automatic, High, Normal, Low, and Off. Only, in low light conditions where the feature is automatically activated slightly annoying if used to target people as objects of an image. The reason is quite blinding fluorescent light for an image object. Quoting from the review site Dpreview, the secret speed performance of the camera is located on the EXPEED 2 processor embedded in this camera. The chip makes the camera able to work faster, reduce image noise when shooting, and improving color reproduction. Active D-Lighting feature also helps that the shots are not too dark, especially in a room that is dimly lit conditions.
