Nikon released a new middle-class digital SLR camera called D7000 . The camera is targeted to replace the D90 which was so popular during the 2 years. The presence of Nikon D7000 is to be expected is the answer of the Nikon over the birth of Canon EOS 60D where both share similar specifications, have the same price and are both classified as semi-professional cameras in the classroom APS-C sensor. Nikon itself since the presence of D5000 seems consistent to give the DSLR’s camera name line with four-digit number that is much better to anticipate naming the camera up to a few generations. 

If on the previous time Nikon has surprised the market by making D3100 the first cam which use EXPEED processor 2, 1080 HD video and AF during the video, is now also carrying the D7000 similar features. Nikon D7000 has been following the trend with the ability to record HD video format movie 1080p 24fps with continuous auto focus and flexibility to adjust the video settings manually. But Nikon D7000 mainstay not only in terms of video only, exactly as semi-pro camera D7000 is more targeted to serious photographers who indulge hobby of photography with a line of upscale features at a price that is still quite affordable.

Here are the basic features of the Nikon D7000:

According to the specifications above appears when there is almost for all aspects of a significant increase compared to the D90, even resembles the features of the D300. So it seemed natural that any D90 owners will be tempted to upgrade to this D7000. This camera body is similar to the D90 at a glance with the difference of a special button for a live-view and the movie (just like the D3100). Nikon D7000 had left button layout which is the same as the D90 which is to access the MENU, WB, ISO, and Quality. But in the D7000 provided the play button to access the scene modes S, CL, CH as in the D300 (the play of this kind does not exist in the D90). On the D7000 mode dial no longer be given a few Scene modes such as Landscape, Macro, etc. Instead, a choice of Scene modes available, two User Profile that can be stored (U1 and U2) to complement the P mode, A, S, M and AUTO.

The presence of this D7000 DSLR camera inevitably led to speculation that Nikon DSLR is likely to finish the story of 'responsibility' of D5000 and also pro DSLR DX class which is due to have the similarity of its features D300s with D7000. If this does happen, then the newbies will be brought to choose D3100, which is more serious in class DX D7000 please to woo this and to just try out the professional grade camera like the D700 or D3/D3x/D3s FX.
