Today we announced that Nikon will release a new model of digital single lens reflex camera "Nikon D 7000" from October 29, 2010.

It is equipped with a newly developed DX format CMOS sensor and a new image processing engine "EXPEED 2", and the sensitivity setting for ordinary ISO sensitivity is ISO 100 to 6400 and Hi2 (equivalent to ISO 25600) is possible. Also,Nikon D90 equipped with the world's first movie shooting function as a digital single lens reflex cameraIt is packed with this high performance compacted in a small body equivalent to the same, making it an indispensable content for intermediate users who want to take real photographs easily.

Details are as below.D7000 | Nikon Imaging

The D7000 is equipped with Nikon's newly developed DX format CMOS sensor and the new image processing engine "EXPEED 2", which is the biggest feature. The number of effective pixels is 16.2 megapixels, enabling high-quality shooting with high-definition rendering and rich gradation representation. In addition, ISO sensitivity is ISO 100 to 6400, and sensitization setting up to Hi 2 (equivalent to ISO 25600) is possible. Activities can be expected to be useful in dark places such as dusk and indoors, and in scenes shooting fast moving objects.

The front is like this. It looks like D90 and D300S, but the specification of the mode dial seems to be slightly changed.


The field of vision of the viewfinder is about 100%, with a magnification of about 0.94 * to be mounted. The body adopts a magnesium alloy for the top and rear covers, while realizing a small body equivalent to the D90, it is further enhanced in robustness. Sealing is applied to each joint part of the camera body to ensure high drip-proof and dustproof performance. (* 50 mm, when using f / 1.4 lens, when ∞, -1.0 m - 1)



Nikon D90 equipped with the world's first movie shooting function as a digital single lens reflex cameraAlthough it is said to be a small body equivalent to the same, the weight of the main body of "D 7000" is about 690 g, which is slightly heavier than 620 g of "D 90". However, because the number of effective pixels and ordinary ISO sensitivity has been improved to a great extent against the increase in weight, it seems that it is a model that is quite suitable for intermediate users who want to challenge full-scale photography.



Also equipped with a newly developed 2016 divided RGB metering sensor that doubled the number of divisions for the RGB sensor, which was conventionally divided up to 1005. Before taking a picture, I grasped the situation of the subject accurately and reflected that information in autofocus, auto exposure, i-TTL-BL dimming, auto white balance control.

In addition, the AF sensor is equipped with a newly developed "multi CAM 4800 DX autofocus sensor module" with 39 focus points. Combined with the 2016 split RGB metering sensor scene recognition system, it accurately grasps even small objects and demonstrates even higher subject tracking and capture performance. In addition, cross type sensors are adopted at nine points in the central part which are used frequently, and the subject can be captured reliably. It is also possible to limit the focus point to 11 points.

The state where the flash has risen.


Moreover, it carries "D movie" which can shoot high-quality movie corresponding to full HD (1920 × 1080, 24 p) and can shoot movies. Focusing can be performed with contrast AF, and when the AF mode is set to AF-F servo (AF-F) at all times and AF area mode is set to target tracking AF, the AF area keeps focusing in three dimensions even for moving subjects can do. In addition, it has a moving image editing function that can cut out part of the movie as a still image of the JPEG image and can delete unnecessary parts from the movie, and it also supports stereo recording with the external microphone.
