Nikon’s D7000 is packed with
features; so much so, that in many ways it’s better than the ageing D300S that
sits just above it in the Nikon DSLR line-up. The 16.2MP CMOS sensor dilivers
nice, sharp images. Image noise is handled very well, while the ability to push
the ISO range to an ISO equivalent of 25,600 will be a handy feature, though
should only be used as a last resort.
There’s range of controls dotted
around the (predominantly) magnesium alloy body of the D7000, so rather than
having to dive into camera menus and modes, you can quickly change sttings and
carry on shooting, while there’s also a dual SD card slot.
6fps will provide you with a
solid frame rate, and you’ll be able to shoot continuously for 35 frames in
JPEG format ( 10 in Raw ) before the buffer slows – possibly a litle more
restrictive than we’d like, but still a decent amount.
The AF is one of the most
impressive aspects of the D7000. The Multi-CAM 4800DX 39-point AF system isn’t
that far off that found on the top-flight D3S, which uses a 51-point AF system.
Of the 39points, nine are cross-type, and there’s a decent spread from
left-to-right in the viewfinder. The AF tracking offer a range of option,
including 3D Tracking - the AF system
will track your subject from point-to-point and is handy for unpredictable
situations. All-in-all, it’s a cracking system that works a treat.
