Nikon's widely anticipated D7000 slots into the company's range between the popular D90 and D300s models. A tempting upgrade for D90 owners, it features a 16.2-megapixel (effective) sensor, new EXPEED 2 image processor and expanded sensitivity range that reaches up to ISO 25,600. A new AF system uses 39 focus points, including 9 cross-type sensors in the centre, while a new 2016-pixel RGB metering sensor underpins the built-in Scene Recognition System.
When it was announced in September the D7000 took a lot of people by surprise. Although a D90 successor had been on the horizon for some time, what wasn't expected was how close in specification terms the new camera would turn out to be to the D300S. In some respects, in fact, the D7000 actually outguns its (supposedly) semi-pro cousin, and offers a compelling upgrade option to both D90 and D300S owners, whilst nominally sitting between the two in Nikon's current lineup.

The Nikon D7000 follows conventional DSLR design in having a shooting mode dial on the top of the camera, which allows you to select either one of the advanced modes like Manual, Aperture- or Shutter-priority, or 19 different scene modes. The Exposure Compensation button is thoughtfully positioned next to the shutter release. Hold down this button with your right forefinger and spin the control wheel on the top-rear of the camera with your thumb to adjust its settings - simple and intuitive. The other button sitting next to the shutter release is for setting the metering. The D7000 has a similar monochromatic status LCD to the D90, a pro-level feature that indicates who this camera is primarily targeted at. On cheaper cameras, the LCD on the rear usually has to do both jobs, but on this model most of the key settings are visible from above on the smaller panel. This can make the Nikon D7000 quicker to use and it may also extend the battery life, depending on how extensively you use the rear LCD screen.
The D7000 introduces a new AF system with 39 focus points, including 9 cross-type sensors around the centre of the field. It's controlled by a rotating switch just below the lens release button. Rotate the switch to swap between the AF and M modes; press the button in the AF mode and rotate the main command dial to select the focusing mode. The front command dial sets the AF area mode.
Nikon's bundled software is miserly compared with the software bundle Canon provides with even its entry-level DSLRs. The D7000 wouldn't allow us to upload image files directly into folders using our normal card reader and Windows Explorer. According to the user manual, you must upload via Nikon's software - which we prefer not to use because it's caused problems for our computers in the past. You can work around this problem by connecting the camera directly to the computer via a USB cable, although that's a hassle.
