  • Generally camera manufacturers tend to follow a well-defined update path and it's usually pretty clear which model is meant to be replaced by a new one. With the announcement of the D7000 Nikon has - to a degree - broken with this pattern. The new cam...

  • Wait until the price of the D7000 drops is the best advice we can currently tell you. At the moment is the similarly priced D300s still a big improvement if you intend to use it mainly as a DSLR. The D7000 only gains slight advantage if you shoot a l...

  • Like: The image quality is what we have come to expect, brilliant even up in the high ISO range. In some ways we regard this as a better camera than our more expensive D300. The Active DLighting really does help preserve the detail in shadows and highligh
  • Dislike: The D7000 only has a three exposure auto bracket which is mean compared with the nine exposure set of the D300. Presumably this is a firmware function that could be easily and cheaply changed
