Nikon D7000 review

For the opportunity Nikon D7000 Review many thanks to Igor

Review of the Nikon D7000 body. Near Vega-11U.

Review of the Nikon D7000 body. Near Vega-11U.

Nikon D7000 is a very unusual digital SLR camera. On the one hand, it has some indicators better than professional cameras Nikon D300, D300s, on the other hand: Nikon D7000 does not reach the professional level. Historically, the Nikon D7000 is difficult to attribute to one of two categories, therefore, I will dwell on this in more detail.

Signs of a Nikon D7000 indicating a professional level:

  • Compatible with old manual (non-studded) lenses AI-S. The camera works perfectly with any manual lens, even with non-native AI compatible.
  • The presence of two slots for memory cards
  • Save option 14-bit RAW File
  • Dustproof and waterproof
  • 100% frame coverage in the viewfinder, a clean viewfinder
  • The presence of over short excerptsequal to 1 / 8000s.

Signs indicating that the Nikon D7000 refers to amateur (amateur cameras)

  • At the camera part of the body is made of plastic. The case is not all made of metal alloy, as in older models D200, D300, D300s.
  • The camera does not support quick cards CF
  • Frame buffer total 9 (maybe 10) RAW shots
  • The burst speed is fixed and does not expand with the booster
  • Well, of course, the presence of automatic modes of use, as in a number of models Nikon D80, D90.
  • Camera does not allow saving uncompressed RAW file

I stand in solidarity with Nikon, which classifies the Nikon D7000 as an amateur camera. It so happened that the line of professional cameras is Nikon D100, D200, D300, D300s, D500. In turn, the range of cameras Nikon D70, D70s, D80, D90 has been improved and supplemented by Nikon D7000 cameras, D7100, D7200, D7500. You can see for yourself composed by me Nikon camera geneology chart. Therefore, the Nikon D7000 is simply an improved level of advanced amateur cameras, but not a professional line.

The most important thing in the Nikon D7000 for the photographer:

1. CMOS sensor in 16.2 megapixels DX format with crop factor 1.5x. The same matrix is ​​in Nikon D5100. The same number of megapixels in the flagship Nikon D4. The number of megapixels is not so importantbut the working range of ISO is 100-6400 and expands to 25.600. Believe the range ISO 100-25.600 - this is already serious. Moreover, we can say that at ISO 3200 you can very often get a satisfactory result. Funny, but Nikon released an amateur Nikon D3200which has as much as 24MP. True, the quality of pictures at high ISOs is much worse than full-frame cameras, such as D700, D3 etc.

Very similar to the fact that Nikon D7000 uses a matrix that Sony produces, the same matrix is ​​available in cameras

2. Burst speed 6 fps. It is worth noting that the D7000 did realize fast shooting with 14 bit RAW without losing the shooting speed. D300(s) loses shooting speed at 14 bit RAW, in fact D300(s) speed with 14 bit RAW is poor 2.5 fps. 6 fps for the Nikon D7000 is very good. I do not recommend chasing a rapid-fire camera, very often the rate of fire is not important at all. For example, in a studio, flashes are sometimes recharged within one second, and few people shoot faster than 2 fps. For home and leisurely photography I have enough Nikon D40 and 2.5 fps. But high shooting speed is important for reporting, unfortunately high speed requires a good buffer size. The buffer is where pictures are stored in the camera before being written to the memory card. An analogy can be drawn that the buffer is the camera's RAM, and the card is its hard drive. The Nikon D7000 has a small buffer, see below.

3. The number of frames in the buffer depends on the image recording format. What interests me most is the buffer when shooting in RAW format, and for maximum 14bit RAW quality with lossless compressionhe makes up 9 frames. With a shooting speed of 6 fps, the camera starts to slow down after the second second of shooting. You immediately understand that the D7000 is far from a professional camera. Here are other buffer metrics:

  1. JPEG maximum quality, quality priority with disabled ADL, Noise reduction, High ISO Noise reduction, etc. - 15 frames.
  2. JPEG maximum quality, quality priority with ADL, Noise reduction, High ISO Noise reduction, etc. - 11 frames.
  3. RAW 12bit lossless compression - 9 frames, the file weighs about 12MB
  4. RAW 12bit normal compression - 9 frames, the file weighs about 11MB
  5. RAW 14bit lossless compression (the absolute maximum quality for Nikon D7000) - 9 frames, the file weighs about 20MB
  6. RAW 14bit normal compression - 9 frames, the file weighs about 15MB

Frame buffer is one of the most important indicators of camera speed... Even my old lady Nikon D200 squeezes 21 frames of continuous shooting and gives as much as 4 seconds of shooting without brakes in a series of 5 fps. The camera buffer of the Nikon D7000 in RAW mode greatly disappointed, I don’t know what those who say about the professionalism of Nikon D7000 think.

4. Nikon D7000 has convenient help with tips, different shooting modes like “night portrait” or “sports”. The camera has a convenient photo editing system. For those who are too lazy to mess around with editing programs on a computer, the Nikon D7000 has an excellent image editor built in. Also, in addition to JPEG processing, the Nikon D7000 camera supports RAW processing.

5. The display of the camera is excellent, with 920.000 pixels. The display is very large and bright. Viewing images on the display is a pleasure. The same display is on Nikon D90, D300, D300s, D700, D3 etc.

6. The ergonomics of the camera is excellent. The additional display helps a lot. It is very convenient to configure the basic parameters for an external monochrome display. The external monochrome display has a backlight. U1, U2 modes allow you to save all the necessary settings and quickly switch between the settings of the camera U1 and U2.

7. Nikon D7000 supports AF lenses without built-in focus motor. For example, Nikon D7000 will work fine without motor cheap and high quality lenses. Nikon 50mm F1.8D, Nikon 85mm F1.8D, Nikon 70-210mm F4.0AF etc. And also, Nikon D7000 gives the chance to work with AI, AI-S and any other old lenses. For example, the camera can easily make friends with manual lenses Nikon 50mm f / 1.2 AI-s Nikkor, Helios-81H, and Nikon 100mm F / 2.8 Series E etc .. If you specify the parameters of the manual lens in the camera menu, then matrix metering will be available exposure... The camera can store 9 'non-CPU' lenses (the same number in the more serious D300s / D3s / D3X). Only the following DX cameras could work with old lenses: Nikon D200, D300, D300s. Nikon D7000 uses a unique focus module Multi-CAM 4800DX with 39 sensors (9 cruciform)which is the same as a full-frame camera Nikon D600... 39 focus points are enough for any kind of photography. Focusing accuracy and speed are highly dependent on the lens rather than the focusing system. And the camera has a new one 2016 pixel RGB sensor measuring exposure.

9. Viewfinder 100%. This means the following: what you see in the viewfinder when you zoom in is fully consistent with what will be in the photo. Typically, coverage is 95% of the frame. For example, Nikon D90 also 95% and often at the edges of the photo extra details appear, since they are not visible in the viewfinder. A trifle, but very nice.

Example photo on Nikon D7000

10. The camera can shoot video with a maximum quality of Full HD 1,920 X 1,080 (24p), while using a mono microphone (for stereo sound, you should buy a separate stereo microphone). The camera has automatic focus when shooting video, which they could not Nikon D90, D5000. The video is of sufficient quality (according to the reviews of my colleagues, I myself am not strong in video analysis). The maximum length of a video is 20 minutes. Of course, the camera has a Live View mode. In this mode, focusing is performed in contrast and is much slower in speed than normal focusing using the optical viewfinder and phase sensors. The Live View button is combined with the video recording button. In focus mode AF-C and with Live View turned on, the camera automatically monitors focus, even if the shutter button is not pressed.

11. The flash can work in command mode on system Nikon CLS. When using external flash units SB-600, SB-700, SB-800, SB-900, SB-910 (or from third-party manufacturers) quick synchronization with shutter speeds up to 1/8000 is possible, this is very important when photographing with flash at slow shutter speeds.

12. A bunch of pleasant things: the shutter withstands at least 150.000 operations, the camera has a gyroscope, the ability to shoot at intervals, alignment (adjustment) of precise focusing and many others.

Personal impressions:

The camera is very good. The camera menu is very large, it is not so easy to figure it out. In the review, I touched only on vital points for the photographer, if you need to find some trifle in the settings, then the instructions will help.

In many ways, the Nikon D7000 is one of the best DX-format cameras. When they ask me which advanced camera I recommend, then Nikon D7000 is the best option.if the issue price does not play a role. In my hands, in my opinion, the camera looks more like Nikon D90than on Nikon D300s. Image quality: at a high level, however, you can only talk about matrix noise, color reproduction, etc., since the image itself forms the lens and at low distinguish one camera from another. Some of my colleagues video operators shoot video on the Nikon D7000, and it is for the sake of video that they take this camera. Also, very often the Nikon D7000 is very popular as a second camera with professional photographers.

Comparison with other, similar in functionality, cameras from Nikon

Nikon D90 VS Nikon D7000

The Nikon D7000 has a step higher ISO, and two steps higher maximum (extended) ISO. 4MP added. The viewfinder covers 100%. Support for manual lenses has been added, autofocus has appeared when shooting video, video quality has reached Full HD, and the shooting speed has increased by 1.5 fps. Another slot for memory cards has been added; the Nikon D7000 can use more capacious ones SD XC cards. The number of focus points has increased, exposure metering has improved, and a virtual horizon has been added. All in all, D7000 all better for the Nikon D90. Ergonomics and overall functionality are very similar. I do not recommend changing Nikon D90 to D7000.

Nikon D7000 VS Nikon D300, D300s

The D7000 beats the D300s at 6 fps in 14-bit RAW mode versus 2.5 fps in 14-bit RAW mode on the D300s. Also, the D7000 has 1 stop higher ISO sensitivity, better video with autofocus. But the D300s has a more robust body, more focus points (51 versus 39), support CF memory cards, higher burst speed, larger buffer and professional ergonomics. Nikon D300 performance is better for Nikon D7000. I do not recommend changing D300, D300s to Nikon D7000, and vice versa, D7000 to D300s.

Nikon D7000 has a younger brother, the continuation of the line - Nikon D7100.

In general, a review about Nikon D7000 can be written endlessly, the camera is simply full of different functions and settings. There are few photos in this review, since while I was testing and delving into the settings, the battery ran out and the charging was not given to me. Please note that the quality of photos depends very much on the lens and other important things when shooting.

  • Vladimir

    Arkady hello.
    and such a question torments me is it worth buying a d7000 after 5100 or is it better to find a d300s?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      For amateur shooting you do not need to change.

  • Vladimir

    Should I change my old D60?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      If something does not suit you, then you can change it.

  • Andrii

    Good day. Recently, having bought a unit and an aid, when turned over, an ice-cold knock is announced. Tse norm chi incomparability ???

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Most likely it flashes the flash in the closed position. This is the norm.

  • Andrii

    We did not sleep. Knowing the obktiv, it appeared that the tse vin ...

  • Andrii

    I didn’t need a license for portraiture. I wanted to buy a good plan. I thought about buying Nikon AF 85mm f 1.8D (3700 UAH) and Nikon AF 50mm f 1.8D (1000 UAH) I’m going to pay $ 2700 for 85mm for your thought Is the sacred picture in the suttural photo?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, the difference will be significant, it’s worth overpaying. You can take used Nikon AF 85mm f 1.8D

      • Andrii

        In what will tsya rznitsya manifest itself?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          To understand the difference, look at the focal length section.

  • Andrii

    Crazy! A knock on a rakhunok in obuktivі ???

  • Sergei

    Hi, I bought today the D7000 has a red pixel present. What to do with him? And another question I fotkal on someone else's memory card, it was all normal, I inserted my own writes card error, tomorrow I'll take it from a friend I'll try, maybe the camera down already covered ?.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Maybe covered. Afraid of the red dot is not worth it.

  • Ivan

    Good evening Arkady. Tell me there is a choice of D7000 from 18-105 and D7000 from 18-200. It makes sense to overpay 1600 UAH. for this lens?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, it makes sense. Focal length is twice as long.

  • Dmitriy

    I just don’t understand why he is better than Petaks, for example? What are so many lovers for? For me, the money thrown out is not started. Use the pentax and you will be happy

    • Arkady Shapoval

      A counter question - where to go from Petax to-r with professional growth?

  • Dmitriy

    And we are not discussing the full format, remember? And the counter question, why move on? And again, in the event of a transition, if it happens, then the previous device still loses its charms, so if you change it, then why initially pay more money for the worst quality? Well, since it started, then what is this unit better than for?

  • Dmitriy

    I looked and fell in love with Pentax even more, it loses in terms of the parameters - battery capacity and the number of pixels, and in video, but this is a camera, not a video camera, but in terms of the main photo parameters, the Pentax is in front, which was required to be proved, but please note that the price 7000 is twice as much. What is the meaning? And besides, I forgot completely more lenses, but hardly any of the professionals, and most importantly amateurs, will buy 190 lenses for themselves, right?

  • Arkady Shapoval

    I’ll translate the abandoned link a little. Nikon D7000 wins Pentax Kr camera by:
    1. The noise level at high ISO, which is a very important indicator. This is one of the main parameters.
    2. By the number of focusing points, more than three times. Surely focusing is very important, isn't it?
    3. Weatherproof
    4. Effective megapixels
    5. The dynamic range, since this is a camera, then it should have the widest possible DD, which is a very, very important indicator. This is also one of the main indicators.
    6. A large viewfinder for convenient operation, including the Pentaprism, which pulls light a few percent less than the Pentax Mirror
    7. Shutter speed
    8. An additional display for greater convenience with the camera

    Understand correctly, I don’t care what anyone likes, speaking objectively for these two models, then the Pentax Kr model loses a lot to the Nikon D7000.

  • Dmitriy

    Again I do not agree, then we’ll go over the points too.
    1. Noise level at high ISOs, which professional will shoot on ISO 12800 (especially Nikon only 6400)? most likely will use additional light and high-aperture optics, right? Doubtful and not necessary indicator. By the way, compare their noise at 6400 nikon in the loser.
    2. Which professional uses 39 focus points (a little more than three times)? But the manual mode, yes. At which these points are not needed, again the parameter is doubtful.
    3. Weather resistance, have you ever shot in heavy rain without creating protection for yourself, at least in the form of an ordinary umbrella? Hardly with a camera for 100 kilo rubles, shoot under direct streams of water, and the rest also holds the Pentax, the parameter is again dubious, and can be useful in the best case once for the whole practice, or even not once. Maybe, I repeat, maybe this will be used only by those who shoot extreme sports, but such units.
    4. Megapixels: dubious superiority, especially such an amount for a full frame
    5. Dynamic range in relation to photography is the ability of a material (film, photographic paper) or device (matrix of a digital camera) to capture and transmit without distortion the entire spectrum of brightness and colors of the surrounding world. At least that part of brightness and color that the human eye perceives. In addition, the camera is not capable of simultaneously correctly transferring both bright and dark objects. The matrix of a modern digital camera is capable of perceiving a very narrow range of light from the real world. Accordingly, the question arises, how was it determined that Nikon's dynamic range is better? And what is better when shooting? Even if this is one of the main indicators, if you answer me these questions, I will agree that Nikon is better, but I look at your photos and see that the colors are clearly inferior to Pentax. And I compare the photos without processing and on the same monitor. Even the size made a lonely one.
    6. The Pentax video finder captures 96%, your 100% and this is not a significant difference, and why do you need a video finder, if you use autofocus, as follows from point 2
    7. The shutter speed is also a dubious indicator, the more the difference is not perceptible. Have you ever shot at 1/8000 shutter speed? It is very interesting what and with what kind of lighting? And what's the difference between 1/6000?
    8. An undoubted plus ??? What for???
    But the point is not what someone likes, but that it is advisable to use. Moreover, an intellectual debate has begun.
    And it seems to me that Nikon’s obvious loss is on his face.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      1. Working at high ISO means not only using the camera at extreme values, but also at values ​​around ISO 640, where Pentax is clearly inferior. There are a lot of situations where you need to raise the ISO level without using flashes. Moreover, these two cameras are amateur cameras, because their owners cannot always afford to use additional lighting. Professionals usually take more adequate cameras than D7000 and Pentax K-r. This price range is more suitable for amateurs and advanced amateurs, especially since these two cameras correspond exactly to the amateur segment. Also, working at high ISO values ​​suggests that it will be easier to fit the image in a graphics editor, and the resulting effect will be less noisy at any ISO value, which is very important for a professional. The fact that you manipulate ISO like 12.800 is not a necessary extreme.
      2. I work as a professional photographer and I use 51 focus points. In the manual focus mode, these points are just as necessary for Nikon and focus is performed on them. If we take a professional, for example, in a report, then maintaining the object will be much more accurate using more focus points.
      3. I shoot in winter, summer, in heavy rain. Professionals do not always choose the weather. I shoot every day and I know that the level of load on the camera is very high.
      4. We are just talking about Crop. In some rare situations, megapixels help out. For example, when cropping in post processing. It is a fact.
      5. It is quite simple to define, D7000 is one of the best in this matter http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Cameras/Camera-Sensor-Ratings/%28type%29/usecase_landscape . Also, DD means that it will be easier to pull the image in program editors. Unfortunately, it is very strange that you do not know this. You are not comparing paired shots, so here criticism of one or the other is better not at all appropriate.
      6. The viewfinder on the Pentax captures details that cannot be seen in it, this is a serious flaw.
      7. Yes, I shoot at shutter speeds of the order of 1 \ 8000, for example, a photograph http://500px.com/photo/13628907 was made at 1 \ 8000 and became the cover of a magazine, the difference between 1 \ 6000 and 1 \ 8000 is a third of a stop, and a third of a stop is a huge indicator for correct exposure correction.
      8. It is very strange that you do not consider the additional display an advantage. When working as a photographer, you immediately feel the advantages of control using the additional display - the camera does not need to be turned over when changing settings, you do not need to bring it up to face level or turn it in different directions to avoid glare on the display on a sunny day. The monochrome display does not consume the battery, it is always visible - both in bright sun and backlit in the dark, speeds up and simplifies work.

      Once again, I absolutely do not care which camera anyone likes. In the face of the struggle between the D7000 And K-P, there are many serious advantages over the D7000. Of course, if we were to compare the D7000 and Pentak K5, then the conversation would be completely different. With experience comes the understanding of the importance of certain parameters, which I sincerely wish you.

  • Dmitriy

    Now convinced. Thanks for your time on me

    • Arkady Shapoval

      It's my pleasure. Undoubtedly, Pentak Kr also has its own strengths.

  • Eugene

    I bought a 7000 carcass and a 24-70 lens. 2.8.photo turns out a little bland tell me what to do

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Describe in more detail the essence of your problem.

  • Eugene

    I shoot on the street, shoots well, but in a room with a flash of sb, 800 faces lathers, you may need to make adjustment in the box or how to configure it so that the box and lens

    • Arkady Shapoval

      D7000 supports alignment, check the camera \ lens for focus errors.

  • Eugene

    can advise how to correctly adjust autofocus in picture control add sharpness
    can?

  • Elvira

    I am an amateur photographer and owner of a nikon d60 camera for 3 years. I want, on the advice of a friend, to try to rent a wedding. But it’s very important for me to have a good camera that will take bright, clear photos. I can’t decide on the choice of camera, I wanted a full-matrix one, the choice between the D700, D600, and so I decided to compare the D7000 again. I would like a great working ISO as my old d60 in this regard disappoints me when shooting indoors. I’m completely confused and would like to hear your opinion.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I definitely recommend a full frame for weddings, anyway, sooner or later you have to go over, so it's better sooner rather than later.

  • Ivan

    Good afternoon Arkady. The wish came true; they delivered my D7000 + 18-200VRII to me. I gave 9000 hard-earned money, I hope I did not overpay. It is interesting that at first I ordered, and after I read and saw enough horror stories (reviews) about the lens. And the mediocre quality and spontaneous zooming when lowering the camera with the lens to the bottom, and the loud operation of the stabilizer. And much, much more. I don’t know, I am very pleased (AS AN ELEPHANT).
    And I have a question for you. Next year, a child will have to take off school graduation. Tell me which lens to look at or enough 18-200?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      18-200 is enough with your head :), if you want to buy something else, then an external flash will be the best addition to your bundle.

  • Ivan

    Thank you so much. Just delighted with your project. Every day I go and read.

  • Maksim

    Hello, Arkady, please tell me I'm going to buy a D7000, how to check the camera? And what to look for when buying a new device! Thanks for the answer !!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      If you have not worked with a SLR camera before, then it will be difficult to check, since the camera has a lot of functions and it will be very difficult to check everything. The main point to pay attention to is the presence of broken and hot pixels on the display and the matrix. They can be seen immediately on the display. Checking the hot pixels of the matrix is ​​a little more difficult, the easiest way to do this is by examining the picture on a computer.

    Good evening Arkady, I want your advice in choosing a Canon 60D or Nikon D7000? What are the pros and cons of these 2 cameras. I am an amateur, I need a camera for shooting children, nature, portraits. And another question, why do many pros choose Canon?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Professionals and professionals, that they know what they need.
      Nikon D7000 Surpasses Canon 60D in
      1 dynamic range
      2 Less Noise at High ISO
      3 Number of focus points
      4 coated viewfinder
      5 The number of slots for memory cards
      6 Burst Speed
      7 Auto focus when shooting video

      Canon 60D outperforms Nikon D7000 in
      1 megapixels
      2 Existence of the folding display
      3 Lighter

    Please tell me, I bought myself a d7000. now you need memory drives. which are better to take (how many GB and which company to work faster) thanks

    • Arkady Shapoval

      SanDisk is not bad, you need to determine the volume yourself, I don’t know in what format and what (photos or videos) you will shoot. Take a minimum of class 10 SDHC, SDHX.

  • Dmitriy

    tell d7000 what is the best flash memory (how much and company) thanks

    • Arkady Shapoval

      SanDisc (it is recommended by the manufacturer), the volume of 16GB, class 10 and above.

  • Anatoly

    Hello, Arkady! I have a question for you: I bought a D7000 18-105 VR kit, at the time of purchase and during the consumer period (14 days) there was no way to check the camera down (besides, how to check, then the “amateur-beginner” did not know: - )). He brought home a friend, he took a couple of frames to check the broken and hot pixels and said that I had a lot of them there and urgently needed to change the camera, besides, the backlight of the LCD screen on the bottom left somehow burned brighter. I shot in manual mode at ISO 5000, exposure 10 sec., Aperture 18.
    1. Will it be possible to return to the official store for this official or is it better to immediately go to the service?
    2.How all the same, on the fingers (at what ISO, shutter speed, aperture) to check for broken and hot pixels ???
    PS Respect and respect for creating such a project !!!

      1. I rarely encounter warranty problems, etc., I can’t suggest in this matter.
      2. A more correct test is carried out at low ISO, with the noise suppression functions turned off. Better to shoot in a ditch and look at it on a computer. You need to take 3-5 shots with the lid closed at shutter speeds below 1/60 (second, two seconds). If there are bright pixels in all images in the same place, then most likely they are defective.

        There is a defective product, but there is not a defective one, it is just important for me to find out about the matrix - is it good or not - it makes sense to take the camera if it has something wrong with it?!? Familiar ones, taking Nikon d60 and Cannon 550D, did it in manual mode at ISO 5000 shutter speed 10 sec., Aperture 18, f3.5. several shots (JPG & RAW) they had practically no hot or broken pixels (more precisely 1 on Nikon d60 and 3 on Cannon 550D), but I probably have more than 50 !.
        In the future, these pixels will be able to come out as broken and hot?
        And if so, how soon (probably a rhetorical question :-))?
        Thank you in advance!

          D60 does not have the ability to take pictures on ISO 5000. If they are, then they already affect the quality of the pictures.

            :-) I exaggerated about iso on the d60. And you can drop the picture on 2 iso?

            • Arkady Shapoval

              Can.

            Hello again. I just sent 4 photos to the account of checking for broken pixels, etc. If you have time, then look and tell me about my photos, plzzz !!!

            Shyro dyakoy! Good luck to you and your project (and especially for your patience :-)) !!!
