About Canon 7D and Nikon D7000

Nikon SLR D7000

What is the position of this D7000? What are the highlights compared with its predecessors? This article will give you a preliminary understanding through parameter comparison. As for the actual effect, you need to get the prototype to know.

Highlight 1: In addition to D3x, Nikon has the highest pixels among SLRs

With 16.2 million effective pixels, it can stand tall in the Nikon family. Nikon enthusiasts who are not satisfied with pixels have a new choice. The D300s has 12.3 million effective pixels, the D90 has 12.9 million effective pixels, and the D700 has 12.1 million effective pixels.

Highlight 2: The second Nikon SLR equipped with the new EXPEED 2 image processor

EXPEED 2 image processor is a new generation processor, which is the case for all Nikon SLR cameras except the D3100 What it doesn't have is that it may work together with the photosensitive element to directly contribute to the third highlight of the D7000 - Full HD video.

Highlight 3: Among Nikon SLRs, the second model has full HD video shooting function

The video supports 1920x1080 resolution 24FPS or 1280x720 resolution 30FPS video, in MOV format. Others like D300s and even D3s are only HD video. The first one is the D3100.

In addition, AF-F (full-time servo autofocus) mode can be used when shooting videos, which can keep the subject in focus without pressing the shutter button. This is something Nikon’s predecessors other than the D3100 cannot achieve.

Highlight 4: The sensitivity has been greatly improved

The sensitivity of D7000 is ISO 100-6400, which can be expanded to the highest ISO 25600. The sensitivity of the D700 has been reduced to ISO 200-6400, and can be expanded to the highest ISO 25600. Not to mention the ISO 200-3200 of D300s, which can be expanded to the highest ISO 100-6400.

Highlight 5: The new CAM 4800DX autofocus module

Provides 39 autofocus points, 9 cross-type focus points in the center, lower than the 51-point autofocus point of the D300s, 15 cross-type points Focus point. However, the focus module is the new CAM 4800DX. How it performs will not be known until we get the prototype.

Highlight 6: New 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor

The metering sensor of the D7000 camera has 2,016 pixels, which is twice as high as the previously launched high-end metering sensor. Before shooting, this RGB sensor can obtain precise information about the scene. This information is reflected in autofocus, autoexposure, i-TTL balanced fill flash and automatic white balance control, which can theoretically take more realistic pictures. After getting the prototype, we will conduct a comparative evaluation.

Summary:

The D7000’s continuous shooting speed is 6FPS, which is lower than the 7 FPS of the D300s. The number of focus points and cross-focus points is less than that of the D300s, which is slightly weaker. The rest are almost all above the D300s, and many parameters have even surpassed the D700. It is estimated that many users will be moved by this. The overall feeling is that the D7000 is not an upgrade or replacement of a certain product, but a new generation product. The official price of the D7000 body is US$1,200 (RMB 8,085), which is also quite attractive.
