The Nikon D7000 is a digital SLR camera from the Japanese manufacturer Nikon , which was launched in October 2010.

technical features

The 16,2- Megapixel - Image Sensor delivers images with a maximum of 4928 × 3264 pixels. It has a size of 23.6 mm × 15.6 mm (manufacturer designation DX format ). The origin of the image sensor was not disclosed, but there are indications that it comes from the Japanese manufacturer Sony .

The camera's exposure index is ISO 100–6400 and can be expanded to ISO 25,600. It can take up to 6 pictures per second. The shortest possible exposure time is 1/8000 second, the flash sync time 1/250 second.

Two SD memory cards are used in the camera to store the film and image data , and the use of the cards can be configured. A variant is the parallel saving of the images as JPG and NEF files. Another variant is to use the second file as a backup copy. Finally, it is possible to use the second SD card as reserve storage.

The camera also has recording modes U1 and U2: Photographers can save their individual settings (white balance, AF modes, exposure settings etc.) and set them again with a rotary knob.

Lenses without CPU control can be used on the camera in manual mode and with automatic aperture control.

The 3 inch (7.62 cm) LC display has a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels (921,000 subpixels).

The camera also has a splash-proof housing made of a magnesium alloy on the back and top . The light meter has 2016 RGB measuring points. The number of autofocus sensors is 39, nine of which are cross-type.

In addition to other accessories, a battery handle with portrait format release is available for the camera, which can be attached without removing the battery compartment cover.

Video recording

The camera can record videos with a resolution of up to 1920 × 1080 pixels ( Full HD with 24 full frames per second ) and a maximum length of 20 minutes in Quicktime format (file extension .mov). It is also possible to use the autofocus while taking pictures.

equipment

The camera has the manufacturer's own accessory connection. A GPS receiver , for example, can be connected via the MC-35 cable to enable geotagging of the recordings. In addition to position data, the interface also processes compass information ( heading ), although Nikon's own GP-1 receiver does not support it.

criticism

Various features of the camera have been criticized in the trade press: A set (changed) exposure compensation is shown on the LC display by a symbol (+ -) and the value of the exposure compensation is only displayed when the exposure compensation button is pressed. The aperture can not be changed in live view on lenses without an aperture ring (type G ) . The manufacturer also tries to technically prevent the use of third-party batteries in the camera .

Individual evidence

1. ↑ Nikon (among other manufacturers) counts the subpixels of each pixel, i.e. H. the red, green and blue channels of each pixel individually, and therefore specifies the rear display with 307,200 [pixels] × 3 [colors] = 921,600 or approx. 921,000 pixels.
