Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor
At the heart of the D7000 is a DX-format CMOS image sensor with 16.2 effective megapixels, optimally engineered to gather more quality light through sharp NIKKOR lenses. With 14-bit A/D conversion (12-bit selectable) operating within the sensor, the D7000 realizes stunning images that are richer in tone and detail than previously possible in DX format without sacrificing shooting speed or energy efficiency. Combine these with the agility of the DX format and its signature 1.5 x focal length telephotos potential and you can begin to see where this kind of shooting power can take you.
EXPEED2 – The Image Processor
The D7000 employs the new image-processing engine "EXPEED 2". This achieves higher-performance noise reduction, improved colour reproduction, high-speed image processing and enhanced movie-processing performance and efficient energy saving with a smaller engine chip than that of the D90. And there is no reduction in continuous shooting frame rate even when high ISO noise reduction or Active D-Lighting is activated.
The ISO sensitivity range of the D7000 is wide, from ISO 100 to 6400 at normal setting, and it can be raised up to Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent). It delivers sharp images with minimized noise while maintaining resolution even at high ISO setting. The D7000 lets you select a faster shutter speed and expands creative possibilities in lowlight situations and sports scenes without worrying about image-degrading noise.
Active D-Lighting
Nikon's exclusive Active D-Lighting offers the ability to preserve details in the highlights and shadowy areas of images shot in high-contrast scenes such as those that are backlit. ADL levels are selectable from "Auto", "Extra high", "High", "Normal", "Low" and "Off". The D7000 employs a new image-processing system that produces less colour phase shift even when the ADL level is increased. Furthermore, it realizes high-speed, real-time processing with high accuracy within image-processing pipelines. The D7000 also allows you to bracket for up to 3 frames.
Scene Recognition System
Scene Recognition System precisely reads the situation of the subject before shooting and delivers highly accurate auto control. It utilizes a newly developed 2,016-pixel RGB sensor to analyse brightness and colour information of a scene and applies this to autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL flash control and auto white balance for accurate control. Also, the D7000 detects up to 35 human faces utilizing image sensor when using face-priority AF during Live View and movie recording, and playback zoom of people's faces of still images.
Viewfinder with Penta-Prism
With approximately 100% frame coverage in the viewfinder, you see what the D7000's image sensor sees. The specially coated glass pentagonal prism offers not only a bright viewfinder image, but it also enables you to easily confirm a subject.
High-speed continuous shooting
The D7000 incorporates newly developed shutter, aperture and mirror driving mechanisms. Combining with higher image-processing speed, high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 6 fps*, for up to approx. 100 shots** is achieved. Start-up time is only approx. 0.13 s*** and release time lag is approx. 0.052 s***. All this gives you stress-free, comfortable shooting, helping you to capture the decisive moment.
Magnesium alloyed Body
In a compact size of approx. 132 (W) x 105 (H) x 77 (D) mm (5.2 x 4.1 x 3.0 in.), the D7000 employs light and rugged magnesium alloy for top and rear covers for high durability. Furthermore, connected parts and various points are securely sealed, achieving superior weather-resistant and dust prevention performance.
Double SD card slots
The D7000 adopts double SD card slots, enabling you to select from options: "Overflow" recording lets you use the memory capacity of the secondary card when the primary card is full, automatically; "Backup" recording stores the same images on both cards; and "RAW primary, JPEG secondary" recording lets you record RAW data and JPEG data separately to each card. You can also copy images between the two memory cards. Furthermore, when shooting D-Movie clips, it allows you to select the slot according to the remaining capacity. It is also compatible with SDXC.
Extremely accurate, highly durable shutter Unit
The D7000 has a shutter speed range of 1/8,000 to 30 s, with a top flash synchronization speed of 1/250 s. The newly developed shutter unit, that has an equivalent performance to that of the D300S, is tested for 150,000 cycles with the shutter actually loaded to prove its high durability. Furthermore, it employs a self-diagnostic system to ensure precise exposure. This system accurately monitors how long the shutter curtain is open, and if a variance between the designated shutter speed and the actual shutter timing is detected, the camera will automatically maintain shutter speed precision by gradually shifting the timing of the rear curtain movement. If a large variance is detected, the monitor recognizes this as shutter failure and flashes an error message in the viewfinder.
Easier-to-use Live View
The D7000 offers smooth switching from regular shooting to Live View shooting with the dedicated Live View switch. Large, easy-to-view 7.5 cm (3-in.) VGA wide-viewing-angle (170°), approx. 921k-dot TFT LCD monitor with reinforced glass realizes comfortable Live View shooting. The D7000 also allows contrast-detect AF. By selecting AF-F (full-time-servo AF), the camera automatically tracks the subject continuously even if it moves during Live View shooting. There are selectable AF-area modes according to the subject; face-priority AF, wide-area AF, normal-area AF and subject-tracking AF.
Nikon Integrated Dust Reduction System
The D7000 employs Nikon's Integrated Dust Reduction System, which includes the Image Sensor Cleaning function that vibrates the optical low-pass filter with four different resonant frequencies to reduce dust. It prevents unwanted spots from appearing on your images. This function can be set to operate automatically when the camera is turned on or off, or to manual.
Full HD movie-recording function
The D7000 offers high-image-quality full HD movie recording of 1,920 x 1,080/24p. You can shoot creative and beautiful movies taking advantage of shallow depth of field and a variety of interchangeable NIKKOR lenses. As with Live View, contrast-detect AF is possible. And if you set full-time-servo AF (AF-F) for AF servo mode and subject-tracking AF for AF-area mode, AF area tracks even a moving subject continuously and three-dimensionally
In-camera movie editing functions
Easy in-camera movie editing is possible without a PC. You can delete unwanted parts by choosing the start or end point by frame, and save a selected frame as a JPEG image.

Picture Control System
Nikon's Picture Control System allows you to customize sharpness, saturation and other parameters to match your preferences. Picture Control can be adjusted and saved, and also shared with other cameras compatible with Picture Control System.
Nikon Creative Lighting System
In Advanced Wireless Lighting, the built-in flash, featuring a guide number of approx. 12/39 (m/ft., ISO 100, 20°C/68°F) and a wide-angle 16mm lens coverage, works as a wireless commander. It can control a single group or two independent groups containing several remote Speedlight’s. A variety of flash shooting can be achieved by combining with optional Speedlight’s such as the SB-900, SB-800, SB-700, SB-600, SB-400 to expand your creativity.
HDMI supported — enables playback on High-Definition TV
The D7000 supports HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) that enables direct connection to a High-Definition TV for viewing of still images and movies. Type C connector (mini size) is employed and also HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is supported for operation of the D7000 using TV remote control.
