Nikon D7000 Review Discussion

[Jim Keenan]

Within the space of about a month's time, Nikon has introduced latest-generation entry and prosumer DSLR models with their DX (APS-C) sensor. The D3100 reached market in mid-September 2010 and was followed by the D7000 in October. Both cameras have upped the resolution for Nikon cropped-sensor cameras past the 12.3 megapixel ceiling of the last generation, but to slightly different levels: 14.2 megapixels in the D3100 and 16.2 in the higher performance D7000. The D3100 is the follow-on to the D3000 while the D7000 will slot, pricewise, into the new lineup about midway between the D90 and D300s.

Still images use phase detection, video is contrast detection, at least according to the manual.
