Solid body, excellent images. Did not have any of the negative experiences that I saw on the many forums. The only complaint that seemed to have any merit was about the mirror slap induced shake at certain shutter speeds. That was easily worked around. Properly set up, the auto focus proved to be much better than I was led to believe. I shot birds and bugs at high speed and had very good luck. I photographed a football game and a basketball game and had almost no misses. The extra resolution, compared to my D 90 & D 80 helps when I have to crop. My favorite set up for wildlife is my D 7000 and the 300 f4 Nikkor with the 1.4 tc. Paired with my 12-24 wide angle, it does a great job with landscape photos as well. I have not tried video. July 16, 2012
It takes great pictures in a variety of conditions. I was a long time Canon/Olympus owner and switched to the Nikon D7000 because of the features and thinking I would get more better pictures on the first try under less than ideal conditions. I was not disappointed. I've had the camera and multiple lenses over a year now and still love the camera. I do mostly outdoor nature photography, but have been very impressed with the low light indoor capabilities and close up garden photos. I've even upgraded my daughters to D5100 cameras and have been impressed with those. July 16, 2012
Amazing! After doing all the research, I have decide to get the D7000 for one particular reason--nothing's much better. The D7000 outshines every competition there is. I especially love it's amazing performance in low-light situation. And, of course, Nikon D7000 simply looks "beautiful", physically. It's a head turner. Whenever I use this camera, people just stares. It's a bonus for me. July 16, 2012
Great! Just got the D7000 last week, what a vast improvement over the D200. Images are much more detailed, viewfinder is much better. July 15, 2012
all round performer this is a serious camera that Nikon has produced amateur friendly yet features pro's will love i give it a 9.2/10 July 14, 2012

The manual seems to indicate on page 85 that only the jpg images are adjusted. Are there any settings that control white balance and contrast on RAW files? Thank you.

Answer: 
White balance is applied to both RAW and JPG files.....just to make sure I tested it, but you will see a slight variation between the two. However, there are many settings such as saturation, sharpening, D-Lighting, etc... that are not applied to RAW files....hence why they are RAW.....they contain the original raw data to be manipulated in post processing.
For more information, see the discussion thread on Digital Photography School

Answer: 
Adjusting for white balance and selecting a picture control be will be reflected in both the jpg and RAW files.

But in the case of jpg file, you won't be able to change this once it is saved.
If you save the picture in RAW file, You will sitll be able to change the photo white balance and the picture control
setting in with software which is able to edit Nikon Raw (eg. ViewNX,Capture NX)

Answer: 
My understanding from what I have researched is that as CPU changes are implemented in new products that there is no guarantee that third party products will continue to work. I realize there are a lot of great third party products out there, but that is always a potential risk. Unfortunately he will probably just have to use manual focus.
I always see many discussions on lens sharpness, compatability, etc.... and the best thing I can recommend is to rent it and decide for yourself. Hope this helps.

hsm lenses should work fine, but since they're third party lenses and the cpu protocol is reverse-engineered, there might be incompatibilities. best advice: get hold of one and try it.

Answer: 
is it "hunting" for focus (meaning it tries to lock on to a subject but fails) or it's not moving at all? for AF to work you have to switch AF to ON on the lens AND on the body as well.

Answer: 
Nope. The P/s is a function of the firmware, the shutter mechanism, the circuits, and the ability for the SD card to uptake the images as they are loaded from the camera, not added amperage/voltage. The max the camera can push to the best SD card under perfect conditions is about 6 P/s. The SD card must be at least a Class 6 (the '6' in "Class 6" has nothing to do with the camera's 6 P/s rate, by the way; it's just a "grade" for the SD cards). If the card is anything lower, it is unlikely it will be able to accept frames at that high speed. The camera matches its loading of the SD card with images with the ability of the card to consume the images. You will note that each time you take a picture with the camera, a green LED on the lower right of the back of the camera lights up. That indicates the camera is pushing the image to the card. In regard to the battery, only use the batteries meant for the camera in the camera or connected to it. If you try anything different, you stand a good chance of frying the electronics and creating a very expensive paperweight. Your owner's manual has a section on what batteries can be used. If the battery you want to use isn't listed there, don't use it.

Answer: 
In RAW it's 14 Bits/channel meaning the 4 color-blocks making up a pixel each individually have 16,384 possible intensities. 2 greens, a blue, and a red means 16384 * 16384 * 16384 * 2 = 8.8 trillion colors per pixel with 16384 levels of intensity between black and white if you just want straight range. Even without Active-D Lighting, the range is pretty high. But an actual HDR effect is not built in; you can get a pretty good HDR from a single RAW but the camera won't do it for you.

Answer: 
Did you really mean D700? This forum is for D7000's. Your camera should have come with paperwork which indicated if it was covered with a warranty. Not all cameras are refurbished at Nikon, so you have to find out who refurbished it, then talk to that company, if you don't have paperwork. I can't speak to extended warranties, but in general terms extended warranties are usually only available at the time of purchase. If your camera was refurbished by Nikon, give them a call.

Camera settings. Which video settings do you recommend? Do video settings over ride photo settings ISO, aperture and exposure? What microphone or type of mic do you recommend? Can you recommend an external monitor or a hood that will let me view the camera monitor in bright day lite--it washes out. I have a Sony stereo mic that works and built a bracket to hold it. I have some issues with wind noise. The built in camera mic picks up servo noise and is almost useless. My bracket has a handle to stabilize the camera but I still have camera shake and it's easy to put camera out of focus on continuous servo . It is also difficult to zoom in and out and get a stable picture. I assume that you have to have the camera on a tripod to get stable video pictures.
I really enjoy the D7000 because it's picture taking capabilities and additional features. It is a large step up from my D80 which is a great camera. Adding video to my still shots in slide shows and on our website is a great feature.

Answer: 
Those questions are hard to answer, since you didn't say what kind of videos you're shooting. Settings for videos for fast-moving objects are different than those for other types. In regard to the question about overrides, the answer is yes, but the camera is sophisticated. The things you set in video mode do not overwrite the still shot settings. Each mode has its own settings. The other responder answered the rest of your questions. The thing to remember about the D7000 is that its primary function is still pictures. The video mode is an added bonus, so the camera's capabilities are focused on still shots. If you surf the web, you can find books on how to shoot videos with DLSRs (well, sections of books, anyway). A book I just bought, which is REALLY good for someone who is more than a beginning photographer, but not a pro, is David Busch's book about the D7000. There's a good-sized section on how to use the video mode.

Answer: 
you need: tripods (the sturdier the better), either good prime lenses or a constant-bright zoom in the lower and higher focus lengths; if you can have lenses with VR, good, since video turns on VR as well. external mic: use something that has a windstopper (like a rode videomic with a deadkitten muffler). use any external HDMI field monitor or an LCDVF (a loupe essentially). don't use autofocus (it's useless), get ready to rack focus manually (you may want to get a 15mm rod kit with a follow focus on it, if you're serious about video).

The D7000 has an automatic sensor cleaner that operates each time you use the camera. Under normal circumstances you should not have to clean the sensor yourself. Check your user manual pages 284 and 285 to find out how to set personal preferences.

Answer: 
You didn't really give enough information about what is not working. If you take several pictures of the same subject in the same light, does the unit flash or not flash consistently, or is the flash intermittent, even if no conditions have changed? Remember that both the flash and the camera take light readings as you press the button, and adjust the flash based upon those readings. How do you have your camera and flash set up? What mode is the camera in (AUTO, P, A, S, M). What mode is the flash in?

However, I seem to remember if you have the camera on "AUTO" mode, and there is enough light for the photo, the flash will not operate. This is not a malfunction. Try putting the camera in P or some other mode. Also, sometimes the flash is very brief.....And if you take a series of shots in quick succession, or the batteries are low in the flash, the flash may not have had time to recycle and for the next flash shot.

Answer: 
Nikon cameras are manufactured in several places around the world. Look at the bottom of your camera body. It says the place of manufacture there. Mine was built in Indonesia. It works perfectly well, as you would expect a Nikon to operate. Remember, Nikon doesn't just hand off to factories. They carefully watch the quality and processes to assure that the equipment produced anywhere in the world meet their standards for that particular piece of equipment. Your warranty would be different between pieces of equipment manufactured in various places if Nikon didn't have complete confidence in their manufacturing facilities.

It should not be an issue. Based on this link: http://nikonasia-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6938/~/nikon-d7000-firmware-ver-1.01-download-(windows)

Windows 2000 is supported. You may need the firmware upgrade.

However, we find it much faster and more convenient to use the SD port on our PC, and just take the card out of the camera. If this is an older PC that you don't have an SD port on, you can probably buy one very cheap.

Answer: 
It is likely that your D7000 is too new for Windows 2000. Unlike newer OS's that will recognize and configure themselves for new equipment, Windows 2000 generally requires that you have software you can load which will allow the connection. It is unlikely that this software exists, since Windows 2000 is no longer supported by Microsoft, and Nikon probably doesn't write software for unsupported OSs. An alternative to getting your photos loaded would be to buy a card reader (they run anywhere from $10.00 to $20.00 USD). Plug that into your PC's USB port with the cards from the D7000 plugged into it. This MAY work (no guarantees). The best thing to do would be to upgrade to at least Windows XP or higher.

Answer: 
good news: apart from some very exotic nikon lenses (old fisheyes that protrude in the back so much they'd clash with the mirror) you can use ALL f-mount lenses with the d7000. the ones designated AF will autofocus with the body focus motor, the AF-S ones have their own focus motors, and AI lenses have no AF at all. light metering (and thus A (and possibly S and P) modes will become usable, not only M) is possible even with non-CPU (AI, AI-S) lenses, you just have to "register" such lenses in the Non-CPU Lens Data menu option.

Answer: 
If you buy the camera from Nikon, the price is for the body only. Some vendors offer "kits", which will include compatible lenses, for additional costs. Your question about which lenses are compatible has a lot of answers, but the best way to answer it is to say that any lens from Nikon that has the Nikkor "DX" designation will be compatible. There are other compatible lenses, both from Nikon and from other manufacturers, but a DX lens is specifically intended for DX cameras (the D7000 is a DX camera). If you are just getting into DLSRs a good lens to start with might be the AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G VR. Though it is a "kit" lens, it is a good "do all" lens with pretty good glass and a middle of the road zoom focal length that will let you experiment with various types of photography until you decide what you are interested in. Once you've decided, then you can spend the big bucks on lenses that are best suited for your area of interest. You will get a lot of advice as to which lenses to buy, so read reviews and make your own decisions based on what you know you like to take pictures of.

Answer: 
Press the Focus Mode Selector button (this is the button to the lower right of the lens on the camera body as viewed from the front). This button is part of the lever which switches the camera from AF to M. Hold this button down while spinning the sub-command wheel (just below the shutter button, on the top left of the front of the camera when viewed from the front). This will change the number of focal points from 39 through a series of lesser configurations until you reach a single focus point. If you watch the LCD screen on top of the camera as you do this, you will see the number of focus points change until you get what you want.

Answer: 
Class 10 - 8gb are the most reasonable, fastest and biggest storage capacity available. Lexar makes great ones and very reasonable in price. You certainly can tether the camera to your laptop. Bigger faster is better but I would think a minimum would be the Core I3 series laptop with minimum 4G ram and a 500gb hardrive.

Answer: 
Comparing storage between a D7000 and a D5100 is apples and oranges. The D7000 has TWO data slots that can be configured in various ways for your personal needs. The D5100 has only one data card slot. So, logically, for any card type or size, the storage capacity for a D7000 would be twice that of the D5100, if you configured the D7000 that way. According to the D7000 Owner's Manual, the largest capacity card the camera can use is a 64GB card, times two for two cards, which means you'd have a total capacity of 128GB. Of course the class you'd want to get is as high as possible (Class 10). If you're wondering if the cards can accept real time video at lower classes, I have used Class 6 for videos with no problems. As far as connecting your camera to a PC/Mac to have live movie images viewable there in real time, you'll have to check with Nikon. I am not aware of software from Nikon that can do this (but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist). There IS camera control software, but I am not familiar with what it can or can't do.

Answer: 
"Refurbished" means that a product was returned to Nikon (or another company), or used as a demo unit, and then brought back to factory specifications (like new). Each product has a serial number, so it can only legally be sold as new one time. If it has been refurbished, then it must be sold as such. Refurbished products work just like new, but you might expect a small mar or scratch here and there that does not affect the performance of the product. I believe the Nikon warranty on refurbished equipment is usually 3 months, but it can vary. If the product is refurbished by someone other than Nikon, you would have to check with that company for their warranty policy, and understand that if something goes wrong with the device during that warranty period, that company, not Nikon, would cover repairs or compensation.

Answer: 
Not sure what you're asking. I'll take a stab at it, though. If you're trying to save user settings, get the camera set up the way you want, then press the "MENU" button on the back of the camera to bring up the menu in the LCD screen. Scroll down to the "Setup Menu" (it's the one with the icon that looks like a wrench). When you are in that menu, one of the settings is "Save User Settings". Get into that area, and you can save the way you've set the camera up into either U1 or U2. To use the settings, just rotate the knob on the top left side of the camera (when viewed from the back) to U1 or U2, and the settings you saved are recalled. Details on saving and using user settings start on Page 75 of the Owner's Manual.

Answer: 
FX lenses work perfectly on the D7000. In fact all of my Micro lenses are FX format and they all work just fine with this camera. There is no difference in the quality that I can detect. The FX lenses produce far less of what is called "vignetting" or darkening around the edges of the frame.when used on a DX camera.

Answer: 
It matters not whether you put a FX lens on a DX body, the other way round is slightly different though. Generally speaking entry level lenses are not the same build quality as pro spec lenses, however, there are plenty of high quality DX lenses, 17-55 for example, and there is not much between them apart from cost.

Answer: 
They have been available for some time. They're easily-ordered from on-line businesses. Be careful, however. Some of the on-line stores are selling knock-off copies as "Nikon" batteries. There are issues with the cheaper non-Nikon batteries both in longevity and fit (I have seen more than one instance of someone complaining that their discount battery doesn't fit their Nikon camera). I just bought one of the Nikon EN-EL15 batteries a couple of weeks ago from an on-line business. No problems.

Answer: 
Yes. Addtionally, unlike some other DX bodies, the D7000 has lens focus motor in the body (most DX cameras depend upon the motor in a DX AF-S lens itself to focus the lens) , so it can use some FX lenses that are AF (any made since 1986) and auto focus them. This is not called out in the User's Manual for some reason, but it is there, and a good number of camera review sites discuss it.

One thing to remember is that because the sensor on a D7000 is smaller than a "full frame" FX camera, there is an inherent magnification factor of about 1.5x with any lens. What that means is that if you use a 35mm lens on the DX, it will behave as about a 50mm lens (35 x 1.5=52.5).

Answer: 
Press the small button on the top left rear of the camera and rotate the release mode dial until the letters Cl or CH line up with the white index mark at the rear base of the dial. The camera will be placed in continous shooting mode. The shutter will fire as long as the shutter button is pressed. This answer is specific to the D7000 and will be slightly different for other Nikons.
