This is the 2nd part of my review of the Nikon D 7000 digital SLR camera.

High Performance

The D700 features Nikon’s latest 16.2 megapixel CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor ) chip which is capable of providing a Live View feed, recording Full HD video and capturing full-resolution stills at 6 frames per second; this sensor can even clean itself using high-frequency vibrations to dislodge any dust that may have settled on it following a lens change! The new image sensor is complemented by the more powerful EXPEED 2 processing engine and a larger buffer enabling the production of highly detailed images containing rich tonal gradations and accurately reproduced colors. This combination assists in producing the beautifully defocused backgrounds which are the hallmark of a superb professional quality digital SLR | DSLR] camera.

Leaving tungsten light warm or giving indoor light a natural look is enabled by the inclusion of two sorts of white balance.

Camera–shake blur is non-existent under most conditions thanks to the fast shutter speeds resulting from the ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 6400 (which can be raised up to ISO 25600 equivalent using Nikon’s advanced Hi 2 setting). It therefore, delivers sharp images with minimized noise while maintaining resolution even at high ISO setting. The Nikon D7000 lets you select a faster shutter speed and expands creative possibilities in lowlight situations and sports scenes without worrying about image-degrading noise.

Twin SD (secure digital) memory card slots, compatible with the new generation SDXC high capacity cards (up to 64GB each) provide the automatic back up that the professional requires as standard.

Full HD movies

The combination of a great quality professional DSLR and the HD video feature makes an enormous difference when shooting movies, giving the user so many more creative possiblilities than a run of the mill camcorder. By utilizing Nikon’s wide selection of NIKKOR lenses you have the marvelous freedom to experiment with different angles and obtain fantastically defocused backgrounds (making the subject(s) stand out) while still having the benefit of the D7000‘s advanced imaging and auto focus | AF] systems which deliver outstanding results . If you are filming action sequences, children performing or a football match for instance, then you will be please to see the new subject-tracking AF (auto focus) which keeps subjects properly focused during the filming.

Once filming has ceased it is possible not only to imediately review your results on the large 7.5cm (3”) LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor but edit the beginning or ends of a film or utilizing the convenient facility to extract still images. HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) compatibility (via HDMI mini-pin connector) makes it possible for you to connect the D3100 to an HDMI CEC (consumer electronics control) compatible HDTV with playback managed by the TV’s remote control.
