There are many reasons for buying a camera, but here's an unusual one. My daughter, who was visiting me for the week over Easter tripped and fell, banging her Nikon DSLR on the ground which resulted in it only being partially operational. No, I didn't buy her a new one, before anyone asks. However, the fact that she was about to get paid for her very first wedding shoot in four days time did indeed lend a certain urgency to the solution. As she is the one to fall over with an expensive camera only in her hand, not round her neck, I didn't really feel like doing anything except passing on my Nikon D90 to her, and getting its replacement for myself. ...  Read the complete review

The D7000 is an excellent camera, ideal for those bordering on professional level photography who cannot quite justify paying for the totally-professional digital camera system. It will take anyone a good amount of time to fully explore what the D7000 can do and after some getting used to the camera will give you excellent results. While more megapixels does NOT equal better, the D7000's 16.2 MP will be more than you need for just about anything. The design of the camera controls, both on the body and the menu system make the camera very flexible. The 2 SD card slots are particularly useful, especially where you can save 2 different types of files (with ...  Read the complete review

My 1st Digital SLR was a D80 I purchased some time ago. The shutter went down a couple weeks back. Nevertheless I was about to upgrade to the D7000 anyways so this simply hurried things up. I purchased the D7000 kit along with the 18-105 lenses .However I sold them on EBay after sometime. I had been capturing pics using a Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens on the D80. For poor light, this did wonders but more than 50 % of time I required one of my SB-600 flash. The only disadvantage in the Tamron, or mixture of the Tamron with the D80, was that the pictures were rather soft. Therefore I also upgraded my lens to the Nikon 16-85. Even though this is an adjustable lens that maxes out at  Read the complete review

FANTASTIC CAMERA. if you are familiar with cameras you will notice this is very much like the D90 camera, but it's obviously larger. Don't let it fool you though, it is not the same. This has an upgraded sensor that offers the user 16MP image shooting capability, whereas the D90 used a 12.3MP sensor. The battery lasts longer than other older models which means more time for more shooting! the buttons are quite large and, well chuncky, which means they won't break easy, they can handle some abuse, but don't go around throwing your camera about! When you hold the camera you feel very confident as if you are actually a professional photographer, although ...  Read the complete review

I recently decided to throw in my old camera and purchase a new up to date Nikon D7000. I would say the D7000 is in the middle to high price range for a DSLR camera, I paid 1250 pounds for it, with a few extras. Obliviously there are plenty of better cameras on the market, and you could find one cheaper than the D7000 if you were to shop around, but still this is a good camera and I would say its more geared towards the professional photographer than the amateur. In the box you get the camera, batteries, charger and an extensive and very clear manual. You can include the lens or lenses as an extra. The lens is always cheaper if purchased as part of the ...  Read the complete review
