According to Nikon, the D7000 is engineered as an ideal balance of durability and functionality. It features a host of new enhancements and updated technologies, which results in spectacular photos and gorgeous full HD (1080p) movies. The D7000 contains a new 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with an unprecedented level of low-light ability in a DX-format (APS-C) camera. This is a camera that delivers superior image quality with low noise. The camera’s native ISO range of 100-6400 affords the versatility to photograph in challenging lighting conditions.

The new Expeed 2 image processing engine powers the enhanced performance of the D7000 along with a new 39-point autofocus (AF) system and pioneering 2,016 pixel RGB 3D Matrix Metering System to deliver amazing image quality in a variety of shooting conditions.
