Best DX Camera ever I love the U1 & U2 settings that you can make custom settings. Very fast focusing and metering. This camera takes wonderful night shots with long exposures. I like to use F8 or F10 at ISO 100 for about 20 to 30 seconds and get great pictures. The duel SD memory slots is a must for saving Raw and JPG files. Us slot 1 for Raw and slot 2 for JPG, just make sure that the memory card in slot 1 is larger than slot 2. One of the other items I found out was that you will need a very fast SD card if you shoot continuous for more than 8 to 10 shots. I use a 45 MB/sec card and found that it works fine. June 6, 2012
Overall Exceptional Camera I purchased this camera nearly 4 months ago and it has been a great camera. The spee of the camera is remarkable. The focus is very quick and at 6 fps. there isn't much more to ask for. My only issue is(and why i gave it four stars) that I am having a terrible focus issue all of a sudden, My camera is not producing Tack Sharp Images like I would expect from the amount of money paid for this machine. I'm hoping i can get this resolved seeing on the extended warranty i purchased through best buy. Once i get this issue fixed, the camera will be a five out of five in my opinion. June 6, 2012
Good travel camera where FX pictures are not required I was looking for a camera to function along side my D700. This camera has all the functionality needed and unfortunately, it has a movie feature I will never use. I am sorry Nikon chose to put this Movie feature in everything except the high-end camera. June 5, 2012
Great images, poor construction. I purchased my D7000 in the middle of April and was excited to try out its low light capabilities. I am impressed with the images I get from the camera. I gave the camera its first real test on a shoot last weekend. It did well for two days, and then I took it to a family cookout and it failed to shoot. The mirror flips up but the shutter will not function. I took it in to the place of purchase and have been informed that it looks bad and I need to return it to Nikon. Now I have to purchase a new camera to cover for my failed new camera, or buy my D300 back which I sold when buying the D7000, because I have a shoot at the end of the week. Very disappointed I have to go through all of this. I should have followed my gut and got a D700 instead! I still feel this is a very good camera and that I must of just been unlucky with this one. This is my second Nikon body to fail in 7 years. (D70S) also. June 5, 2012
Great camera Great camera that is almost professional without the same cost. Very responsive and great shutter speed. June 4, 2012
Great Camera It has all the features a pro camera has for under $1500. Thanks Nikon. June 3, 2012
Professional camera with bells and whistles at a reasonable price This is a camera that gets better the more you learn to use it. I did extensive research and read many on line evaluations and bench tests on cameras before deciding on the Nikon D7000 over the Nikon D300 and D700. I have owned models of Nikons (D70) so the learning curve was easier to adjust to. I am a semi-professional photographer and shoot some 8-10.000 frames a year. I have owned the camera for a year now and am happy with its performance. I still have not learned all the features and there is a steep learning curve, so unless you are a passionate and tech savy amateur this would not be a good starter camera. I find that I use the camera at my best and its best when I am fully concentrating on the features of the camera and can plan my shots... It is a complex instrument, can be used quickly on the automatic settings, but is best when used with some thinking and analysis of subject, light and motion etc...I seldom use the built in editing software and actually think it a waste...since there are so many excellent programs for computers available. The automatic programs are great, although i seldom use them, as I use generally manual and semi manual settings. I have shot some short movies with the NIkon D 7000 and I am the one who needs improving... I love using the quick repeat shutter settings for fast moving wildlive. One thing I miss terribly: a fully rotating and swiveling viewer. The NIkon has a live viewer but I seldon use it--unless shooting in movie mode. The double card feature is superb and I find the battery power very adequate as well...provided you are not using a lot of flash. The built in flash is not great...it has little reach but the color shift is perfectly acceptable and can be improved with editing. I love the high ISO settings with unusually low noise compared to the competition...that is a great asset in low light situations and the camera performs well in night setting with bright lights or christmas street lights ...etc. The 16 megapixel resolution is optimal for cropping and editing. The tulip on my 18-300mm lens however is a bit shotty and I needed to replace it once already as the bearings broke. This is a great camera for traveling, wild life and tri pod shooting. I travel a lot and walk and hike often many hours with my camera...so it gets knocked about a bit.... and it holds up well enough to that. It is heavy--the heft of a professional camera--and this can be tiring when walking and carrying it all day long in a tourist type situation. However, if I take one of my other cameras, smaller Canons or Nikons--I always regret it when later analyzing the results of my shots... so it is worth the trouble and fatigue to carry it with you at all times...! Best to find a longer strap than the NIkon provided one, wich is not long enough to slip the camera comfortably across the shoulder and shoot without removing it.... This it is a high quality camera with many professional features and I am very happy with it. June 3, 2012
Great Camera This camera is loaded w/ great features like more "real' ISO speeds ie; 125, 160, 250, 320, 500, 640 It is lightning fast - 6 FPS. I really like the way Nikon laid-out command & control on this camera Having a thumb-wheel and index-finger-wheel to quickly easily adjust 2 elements of the exposure triangle while looking thru the viewfinder. Its still alittle to early for me to evaluate the camera's durabilty and how long it will last. but so far, ~ I absolutely love it!!! June 3, 2012
Great Camera for a Consumer Level Having owned many Nikon bodies: D90, D5000, D3100, D700, D800. I would say in the consumer range this camera is the best I have own. Having been using the D700/D800 you appreciate the professional grade bodies but then you notice the weakness of the consumer grade bodies. While the color/clarity/contrast SOOC is superb on the D7000. I would say my particular model has a weakness - it tends to back focus or miss focus altogether sometimes. At first I thought it could be the glass I was using but I have the trinity and a bunch of primes it still has the issue every now and then. Bottom line for the money the D7000 is a great camera but it can not compare to the focusing accuracy on the pro bodies. June 3, 2012
Love my Nikon D7000 I bought my camera while I was taking photography classes. It's a bit much for a beginner but if you hang in there and read the manual a daunting task but just play with it and you'll have the camera down pat. And if you get in a bind there is always the auto button. It has a GPS so I was told so if you get lost I guess they can find you. I'm getting better with the different settings and lets just say I'm glad it's digital and not film becase there are a lot of delets in the beginning. Very nice camera June 2, 2012
D7000 is a GREAT camera!! I have had my D7000 plus 4 lens' and Speedlight 900 for about a year and a half now and just lover the camera! I shoot mostly flower close-ups’ with the 105mm Micro lens and landscapes with the 10-24mm zoom. The camera is fast, sharp focusing, batteries last long on a charge, color and resolution are spectacular and its very easy to use. I'm from the old school having started with the Pentax Spotmatic Leica M and R systems. So having control is important plus i wanted the sharp focusing capability and depth of feild control the Nikkor lens' provide. I would recommend the D7000 to any Pro or serious Amateur photo enthusiast... June 2, 2012
Exceeds expectations Just getting back into photography after being away from it for a number of years, last serious cameras were Olympus film slrs. Tried an Olympus compact but had trouble figuring out how to get it to do all it was supposed to do. Tried the D7000 and wow great pictures and very easy to use. Love the dual SD cards, big screen and variety of options. I'm back. May 30, 2012
Great Value Being a former wedding photographer, with 2 1/4 film format, I bought my D7000 for my general photo needs, (Vacations, car shows and such). Photo results have been fantastic, brilliant sunsets and great details. The dual cards come in handy allowing me to take both raw and jpeg files at the same time. I would recommend this to camera to anyone looking for fantastic results whether going full auto or manual settings. May 29, 2012
As simple or as sophisticated as you want it to be...excellence is the common denominator. Outstanding achievement by Nikon. This camera is power packed with features and delivers outstanding results every time. I found almost all of the features to be intuitively accessible and relevant to my photographing needs. I love the D7000's ability to marry the latest in technology with my old MF Nikkors. May 29, 2012
Something for everybody I have D 7000 for 1 yr. I initially struggled to get my hold on the camera setting.But after reading and experimenting, I am getting to know the camera more.It is well built,very responsive camera.I have taken some amazing and some not so good pictures.It does the job well but I actually boils down to the photographer.It is a good camera in capable hands. I love it and would recommend it strongly. May 27, 2012
Great camera for the money! I have had my d7000 for about a year now, and i really like it. It shoots great video, but it is limited in frame rate and resolution. Picture quality is awsome and its not really hard to use. Over all its a great beginner camera with great quality May 26, 2012
Great camera for the money Great in low light, fast, love the autofocus fine tune, a bit uncomfortable to hold all day but otherwise a fantastic camera for the money. May 26, 2012
Great camera. I believe D7000 is a great starter camera. Good quality and great operation system. Will get higher level Nikon again. if I need to upgrade. May 24, 2012
Best amateur camera! I have owned Nikon D70, D80, D90 and finally the D7000 which incorporates all the features I need and is compatible with all the Nikon lenses I own. Perfect camera for the advanced amateur! May 24, 2012
Having issues after 14 months This is my first Nikon camera and I am quite disappointed. I was aware when I purchased it that it was rated inferior in low light conditions and that it has a low burst speed, but I was in need of a camera and many of my friends had Nikons that they loved. To be fair, I've gotten some of my best pictures with this camera. 99% of the time I shoot on ISO 100 and I'm very tired of having to fix the noise issues. I'm also frustrated with the burst speed as I was spoiled in that area with my Sony A700. As for low light situations, I rarely bother. It is too frustrating to have to delete everything I shot. AND, the aperture will not stay set when I shoot in aperture priority. UGH! The biggest problem is that after 14 months the camera isn't focusing properly. Well, that is how it seems to me since most of the time I cannot see it focus in the viewfinder. Naturally this happened on a long-awaited trip to Yellowstone. After a few shots, I picked up my camera to take a photo and it wouldn't focus automatically. I tried to focus manually and it wouldn't do that either. I shot a few photos with it and then put it away for the rest of my visit to the park. VERY disappointing! Once I downloaded the photos, I found that many of them were actually in focus, but not necessarily where I would have chosen to put the focus. Next I traded lenses with another Nikon user for a few minutes. She was able to focus using my lens and I could not focus using her lens which led me to believe the problem is with the camera and not the lens. When I contacted Nikon support, I was told to send them two photos to view. I asked what that would prove since the photos have sharp areas but I can't see those areas in the viewfinder. I was then told to send the camera in for repairs. I asked what a minimum charge is for repairs and whether I would be notified of total charges before repairs are made. I have not had a response to those questions which were asked a week or so ago. Now I'm debating whether to update my Sony, to send the Nikon in for repairs not knowing what it might cost me, or to switch to another brand...none of which is in my budget for the next few years. In the meantime, I'm not very excited about taking pictures although the camera occasionally focuses when I look through the viewfinder. May 21, 2012
Good features for the price I've had a D7000 for a little over a year, doing about 80% stills and 20% video. Generally, I like the camera very much -- great features and feel (I have the battery grip). Very intuitive ergonomics and navigation of the menus and buttons. Very solidly built. Slightly small form factor, especially in width from side to side (moving from a D100/D200). Beautiful LCD display, and the ability to enlarge the settings display with the Info button is fantastic. Great dynamic range; and the ability to push ISO to 1600 to 3200 without hesitation is absolutely worth the money of upgrading alone. Only drawbacks I've experienced are: 1) the buffer is way too small. I shoot a fair amount of action and wildlife, and I hit the buffer after about 6-7 frames. 2) I wish the bracketing would have a greater range than 3 frames at +/-2 EV. Other than those two things, very happy with the camera. May 21, 2012
Semi-Pro level camera that yields Pro Results The D-7000 camera is a spectacular semi-pro level camera that has all the controls that a photographer needs. This camera takes great pictures with nikon lenses and the camera controls and menu are very easy to use. I have not used the video function on the camera because I just feel a camera should be a photo camera and video should be left up to video devices, but in the near future, I am sure that I will give it a try. May 21, 2012
Great ISO Range I have a D80, D90 and have upgraded to D7000 because of the ISO Range and it was well worth it to me to be able to take the shot without a flash. May 21, 2012
Great Camera I am really satisfied with my D7000. I have been an "advanced" photographer for 40 years. I own a Nikon F2 Photomic body, a Nikkormat EL body, 4 prime lenses, and one zoom (all Nikkor). All of these were bought in the 1970s. I did some pro work, lots of family pics, and church festivals on mostly slide film until last year. We have owned 3 point and shoot digital cameras. Finally I decided to buy a digital SLR, the D7000. I have found the learning curve to switch to digital to be fairly steep. While I did not have to relearn composition and camera settings for aperture and shutter speed, I have had to study hard and experiment with the technical side of digital photography. After much review and study I have come to the conclusion that I bought the very best camera for me on the market. While I wish I could have afforded a Nikon body with a full frame sensor, the D7000 is ideal for me. It has the ability to use all my older Nikkor-AI glass and has the features needed for advanced photographers. I also believe the camera is built with great quality and I would not change my selection (unless I could afford the new D800). I highly recommend the camera to anyone who can afford it. My current kit: D7000, 18-105 Nikkor, 70-300 Nikkor, 50mm f1.8, all autofocus. Older glass: 24mm f2.8, 35mm f2.8, 50mm f1.4, 105mm f2.5, and 43-86zoom, all AI. SB-900 flash. I also recommend becoming a member of the Nikonians computer forum, N-Photo magazine, and buying Adobe Lightroom. Thanks for letting me ramble on about my photo hobby. May 21, 2012
Great entry-level dslr with room to grow! When I was researching what dslr I wanted to purchase, I was looking for something that I could use at my beginner level, but left room for me to grow into as my knowledge and level grew. I used a friend’s D5000 off and on for about a 6 month period and and found that I out-grew the features it had to offer. I was considering waiting for the D5100 to come to market, but I was getting inpatient. My sights turned to the D7000 and I made my purchase. After the D5100 came out and I got to play with it in the stores, I was very happy to have purchased the D7000. I have since taken many photos of varying subjects and have been very happy with all of them. I am still learning many of the features and foresee that it will be a while before I would need to even think about upgrading. May 21, 2012
Best for the price!! I am still enjoying this camera. I really have not outgrown it yet. I keep discovering all the fuctions available to in producing great shots. It has not disappoint me one bit yet! Just a beautiful work of art. May 21, 2012
D7000 My D7000 usually sits on the end of a 400 2.8 mounted on a tripod w/ ball head. It performs flawlessly. There's a bit of a learning curve, not too steep, before using the camera becomes second nature. The controls for the setup I usually use are well placed ergonomically. The D7000 is much more camera than the average shooter needs. I've used the body in rain, snow and wind, minimal protection, usually just a trash bag attached with clothes pins. No complaints. In below zero weather I have shot for a couple of hours with no noticeable slowing of camera functions. On my old F's, 1 through 4, I used the cold weather pack. I haven't noticed a need for battery swapping yet as I no longer go out in minus -20 and -30 temps any more. Too old, blood too thin I guess. Not as much fun any more. The heft of the unit with battery pack attached make for a heavy, stable package when hand holding. Granted it's a pain when in the field sometimes, particularly late in the day, but in the wind weight is a plus, even when mounted on the tripod. Focus is quick, write speed adequate shooting RAW and frames per second acceptable. The built-in flash is certainly adequate for around the house snap shots etc. just remember the limitations. I've shot a bit of video just to see the result. I'm not a big video shooter but, the results seem very good. The D7000 is a great performer. A great body for the serious amateur photographer and the pro. It has a more than adequate internal program for in-camera editing if required. There are more shooting settings than a serious shooter needs but . . . they do not get in the way. And, who knows when you might want to let the camera determine the settings. One last word. I never shot in the Program mode. No need for it. Still, I played around with it and I'm impressed. I now keep the camera in the program mode for the unexpected grab shot. It's uncanny how ofter the camera gets it right or at least close enough when there isn't time to set up. If the subject permits I can switch to S or A and get the exposure and composition I want. If not, I have something I can probably to salvage. Faster processing to allow for more frames per second and this would rate as a near perfect body for sports and wildlife. May 20, 2012
The best in it's price range.... I bought the D-7000 about a year ago and find that it does everything I expected it to do. I also own a D-80 and I upgraded to the 7000. I do not regret my decision to do so. I attend a few art shows in the summer months as an artist and find that all the comments on my photos are positive and the customers always ask what I have for equipment. Nikon of course! May 20, 2012
Great features in a smart package This is truly a mid-range camera designed with a serious photographer in mind. May 20, 2012
Nikon 7000 The best digital camera for the MONEY!!!! I almost purchase the Nikon D300s but I took a close look at the D7000 and fell in love with all the features of the camera. With this camera it goes to the next level on being creative. I learn something new each time I explore my camera features or watch the new blogs that come out. I have own my D7000 for a year and I know I will be excited with my Nikon D7000 for many years to come. Love the Nikon family of cameras. I also own the D50 and D80. Thanks to Nikon for making wonderful Cameras. May 20, 2012

Incompatible file format. Just spent $1200 on the camera body, should be able to open the raw files. What is going on here? Is there a plug-in I can download to make this happen so I can edit the files?

I just went through this with Nikon Support. Make sure you have the latest version of Capture NX2 to open and edit your NEF RAW images from your D7000.

Answer: 
I don't know what you will need to import NEF files into Photoshop. However, the software that comes with the D7000 can save the files into a different format which you can then import into Photoshop, which is what I did originally rather than trying to bring them directly into CS2. In the end I bought Corel's product for under $100 (rather than over $1000 for CS5) which allows me to edit the NEF files directly. I would imagine the question should be directed to Adobe as to how to import NEF files into Photoshop.

Answer: 
Check to make sure you have Bridge installed with your Photoshop. Bridge is what reads the RAW file format, opens a separate window and gives you the option to continue to open in photoshop. The other thing to do is make sure you have all the updates to PS.

Answer: 
I recently purchased the D7000 along with this lens, and I can say, not only is it compatible, it is fan-tas-tic! I love its versatility. No, it's not a 2.8, but for carrying one lens, this cannot be beat.

Answer: 
All DX lenses are compatible. That does not mean that pictures will come sharp in all of them, even if the lenses are the high end ones. It's a very common issue that cameras might need to get calibrated for different specific lenses, and it's something that drive many photographers nuts because some pictures come out good and some not!
So if you are getting soft focus in some pictures don't blame yourself, blame Nikon for not explaining this issue clearly and not offering easy-to-find resources to corrected.
My opinion based on my professional experience.

Answer: 
I bought both together and I don't see any incompatibliies. The range is fantastic - no more switching lenses (between wide and tele) in regular shooting. I wish the lens were a little faster (like 3.5 to 4.5 instead of 3.5 to 5.6) but otherwise it's great and pictures are sharp.

If you're just getting started, though, the D7000 is a bit of an overachiever. It's a great piece of equipment, but not for the faint of heart. Buy the lens but look at the D5000 (or even a comparable Canon or Sony) instead.

Answer: 
I have shot similar images of wine bottles and glasses with the 105mm nikkor micro and it works very well. Any of the nikkor micro lenses should give your great control of DOF, it all depends on the angle of view you want to include, in other words how much of a background do you want in your image? If lots then, use a wider micro, if you want the least background (i.e. tight compression) then the that extreme would be best served wit the 200mm micro nikkor. The 105 is a great all around micro and you can get extreme blur/bokeh to reduce the attention to a background if you have more than you like.

If you need to get extremely creative and tricky with DOF and have a larger lens budget then consider a tilt shift models.

Answer: 
if you need a limited DOF, you'll need a slight tele. you'll also need brightness, so an f/2.8 is a must. i'd suggest looking around used 90-180mm primes with at least f/2.8. micro-nikkors are also known for their sharpness, so maybe a 90mm f/2.8 micro-nikkor, using manual focus, would be the best, IMHO.

Answer: 
Don't underestimate the 18-55 f/3.5- kit lens. You could also consider a prime lens, like the 35 or 50mm f/1.8G or even wait for the new affordable macro lens that Nikon is suppose to be releasing soon, just in case you really want to get some of the details.

Answer: 
You'll probably get as many opinions as there are lenses. F22 will give you a very DEEP depth of field. You can control the depth of field yourself. Rule of Thumb: "Higher number on the Fstop equals deeper DOF". You didn't specify how close you want to be, or how the shots are going to be composed, or if you're going to be in a tightly-controlled studio setting with multiple flashes arranged around the subject, so it's a little hard to say. My go to lens is the Nikkor F2.8 17-55. It's crisp, tough, and versatile. With the F2.8 that remains constant across the zoom range, you don't have to worry about your DOF changing as you zoom in and out, like you do on other lenses. The next best lens would be a "prime" lens of 35mm or 24mm. If you're in a studio environment this can be a bit challenging for framing the shot because without the zoom you need to move the table/armature or your camera's tripod (unless you have one of those cool studio tripods that lets you move the camera in the horizontal plane) to frame the shot appropriately.

Does anyone know what this issue is?
Does Nikon Pay for the shipping?
Is Nikon quick and fixing the problem?
Pictures are showing up with the brightest colors in the pic over enhanced, for instants the yellows, blues and greens look like smears of magic marker and download that way too. I've been told it's the sensor. Just bought the camera a few month ago. I guess I have to send it in. How quick is Nikon? I need my camera and will they pay for the shipping? Has anyone had this problem with the D7000 and dealt with repairs? Thanks!

Answer: 
I agree, reset the camera or re-adjust the colors. It sounds like you may have inadvertantly changed the color settings from within the camera. I just purchased this camera and I have to tell you, I love it. Plane and simple... The menus are at first confusing but once you start playing around and learning all the features, it will be like second nature. You can remove the battery and let the camera sit for a period of time to discharge the onboard memory. This may reset the camera for you. Good Luck and keep on shooting!

Answer: 
Depends on where the nikon service repair is.
If you have a technical support in your town, you should probably get it there, in that case, no shipping costs. I had once to bring my old d200 to repair service and got it back in 5 days. Depends also what the problem is.
Nikon is a trustworthy company, but if you have a problem, you should ask your reseller first.

Answer: 
The 20 minute time limit is because of double tax increases in europe. they count the camera as a video camera and still image camera after a certain mbps on video with a time limit.

Canon cameras are only 12min. but they have different Frames per second.

this is really not a big deal unless you are doing intervews, but, time your shots inbetween questions. I can't imagine someone answering a question for 20 min.

Answer: 
I have not received a direct answer as to why the Nikon D7000 has a 20 minute video recording cap. I did find the following answers but, I could not find any documentation to prove their validity:

1- The 20 minute cap was set in place to prevent the camera's sensor from overheating (no proof of this)
2- The 20 minute cap was set in place to prevent higher taxes incurred. If the camera recorded longer, it would be categorized as a camcorder thus increasing taxes.
(no proof of this)

This 20 minute limitation may not hinder a person from creating feature films and short films but, this limitation does pose a problem for applications that require interviews. It would seem rude to stop a person in the middle of their story to tell them that they need to wait for you to press the record button again.

Hopefully, there will be a firmware update to remove this limitation.

Answer: 
Yes, there is a 20 minute limit per shot, but the camera lets you take as many of those 20 minute shots until the SD card is full. While I don't agree with Nikon's time limit, most professionals will not record for more than 10 seconds at a time anyways. Next time you're in a movie theater or watching TV, check it out. Camera angles switch every 5-10 seconds to keep the audience's interest.

Answer: 
By default, there is a setting in the camera's menus which prevent the camera from taking a picture if the picture is out of focus. In some lighting conditions the camera will not be able to use the auto focus function and will not fire. You can overcome this in several ways. 1. Putting the camera in "M" and using the focus ring on the lens. 2. Changing the setting in the menu so that it will allow the camera to fire, even if it is not in focus (not recommended), turn off the auto focus function on the lens (if it has it) and on the camera (switch on the side of the lens, and a switch on the body of the camera, to the lower right of the lens as you face the front of the camera. Note: BOTH switches must be turned off at the same time to prevent damage to the lens or the camera. You should also check your metering to see if it's set correctly. There are several different metering modes which will affect your picture. Also, if memory serves me, the camera will not take a picture in M mode if the picture is going to be severely over-exposed. If, for instance, you set the photo up for a shutter speed of 1/30 and an aperture of f3.5, the camera won't fire. I have experienced this myself, and though there is nothing in the user's manual about it that I can find, I assume it's to protect the sensor and other equipment from damage.

Answer: 
yup, use either shutter speed (faster for underexposure, slower for overexposure), or if DOF is not an issue, change the aperture. or, change the ISO. in manual mode exposure correction is not a valid option as nothing is automatic so it's entirely up to you what settings you use.

Answer: 
R-10 refers to the amount of shots remaining in the buffer and has no relevance to whether the camera releases the shutter or not. If you are shooting in manual then you under expose by altering the shutter speed, the only thing that would stop the camera from firing would be if focus has not been achieved, try focusing manually.

Answer: 
You have it on [M] and it won't take the picture? The only thing that should stop it from exposing under full manual is insufficient battery to complete the exposure, full memory card, or it being out-of-focus and set to require focus to expose and in auto-focus. Meter shouldn't play into it.

Answer: 
yup, use picture control. however, i'd advise against it -- you don't get to select the channel mix. my advice: shoot in color and aim for best contrast range, then use a decent video editing software and use a filter to do the b&w conversion. remember: if you shoot b&w, you can't go back and adjust the channel mix, neither can you change your mind afterwards if you wanted that shot in color. so: use neutral picture controls, shoot the video in color with a decent dynamic range, then mess it up later in post-prod. :)

All Nikon single lens reflex camera lenses since the first one was made are compatible. If you use an older lens on a new (digital) body you will have to use manual mode to find the correct exposure and you will have to manually focus the lens.

Answer: 
The D7000 uses TWO SD card slots, which can be configured to store photo data in various ways. For best results, get Class 6 SD cards. Size doesn't really matter. It's a matter of personal preference. Some photographers use smaller cards so they won't lose as much data if a card fails, others use larger cards because they shoot a lot of pictures. Look in your owner's manual. There's a page there that tells you all the recommended cards and sizes.
