User Reviews for Nikon D7000 (Body) SLR Camera

After using both the Canon 60d and Nikon D7000 for about 2 weeks each, I must admit, it is increasingly difficult to distinguish between the two. Similarly priced with a difference of about 4k with the Canon 60D and 18-135 IS lens, and a similar specs sheet. Ergonomically feels the same as well. But, it is worth noting, that the D7000 does have a few flaws, compared to the Canon 60D.nn1. The 60D has an articulated screen. Simply, it can tilt and swivel, much like a handycam. Also, I felt that the 60D had a slightly brighter screen as well, and the screen has a higher resolution - 1,040k dots vs 920k in the D7000. So, if you're into a lot of experimental and creative photography, the 60D clearly beats the D7000 is that aspect. The tilt-y screen does come is handy.nn2. The Nikon d7000 oddly drained its battery a lot faster than the 60D! Even though, the specs sheet given by Nikon says it can pump about 1000 shots in a single charge, it doesn't give more than 800, in ideal conditions - with VR switched off in the lens, no use of flash, and minimal change in settings. The canon never fails to deliver anything below 1100 shots. More on this - the canon does switch on after getting off, so, you can manage about 20 clicks after that! but, Nikon, sadly, doesn't. nn3. Video Quality. We know it. You know it. Canon will forever beat Nikon in this segment. The continuous Autofocus somehow seems a little inefficient. Though i didn't really get much time to test the video mode much, but, take my word, search up Youtube - Canon 60D delivers a way more warmer and richer Video, than the D7000. Period.nn4. For those who suck on megapixels, the 60D has 18 MP, while the D7000 is 16.1 MP. I wouldn't say it necessarily makes a difference, but, when it comes to using wide angle lens, or when you don't have a good telephoto lens, those extra MPs do help in delivering more detail. Nikon fans argue that the higher MP count in canon is the reason for lower image quality, specially a lot noise at higher ISO. Well, I'd suggest you try either the 550D or the 60D at a 12 or 14 MP resolution, lowering it in the camera, trust me, in my old 550D, i got results which rival the Nikon d90 and even the d7000.nn5. Even though the Nikon D7000 delivers excellent image quality, beyond all doubts, it still think, its not the same..err..type as the 60D. As in, the Canon delivers images which have a different warmth factor in them. And, to be honest, it somehow matches with most street/abstract/landscape scenes in India. The warmth and the colour tones delivered by the Canon, with identical settings, just seem to compliment the Indian eye better. Ask a friend to click two photos with the same scene, with both the cameras and look at them without knowing which belongs to which. 7/10 times, you'll prefer canon. It might just be my personal experience/feeling, but, somehow canon seems more suited to Indian photography, where most photographs have a sort of dry and warm feel. Nikon never really has tried to improve on this, and hence keeps competing with themselves.nnBoth the 60D and D7000 are excellent cameras. If you a want to be serious about what you buy, i'd suggest renting them for a day/getting it from a friend and choosing for your preference. Mind you, the d7000 is a tad costlier, but offers you a slightly(5.3 vs 6fps) higher burst rate and a stop more if ISO (upto 25600). Think and buy. happy clicking. Cheers.

Nikon D7000 SLR is at the pinnacle of semi-pro cameras! It delivers like a pro and at the cost you get it here, it is unbeatable! If you are going for D90, stretch a bit, use the EMI option...and make your dreams come true! PS: Not to mention the delivery service went flawless...Thanks!

Thanks to flipkart for fast service. I was worry to buy this camera from flipkart because i saw in nikon website that flipkart was not their distributor. Flipkart is the way where people buy their product from their distributor like WS retail and others. I got confuse and called to NIKON, they said you can buy the product any where but the product number has to match with their data base. if not then it is not a right product then i bought the camera from fliptkart and got crosscheck with customer care of NIKON and the product number is matching with NIKON database. So people should not fear to buy Nikon from Flipkart. Eventhough they are buying from Distributor need to cross check with NIKON...

I ordered this camera from flipkart and got it delivered in 2 days , all well packed brand new. This is possibly the best semi prof slr body. The kit lens is also reasonably good. The night photos are class leading , real gem of a camera.

I ve purchased it in the month of Sep 2011 from Flipkart. The best deal @ this price range specially compared with Cannon. Cannon cannot stand at this price range with all this features. About performance - it's just awesome. It's AF motor, AF points, low light shooting (excellent), wide range of "scene mode" function for the beginners, heavy weight gives extra stable shooting, magnesium alloy body (for dust protection), for professionals manual mode with LCD preview is greatly helpful for getting a perfect shot. I am still doing new things daily with my cam and it's endless qualities giving new surprises and satisfaction with every shots.nnI ve just one word to say...nnIf U are planning for a cam to experience some great shots, and if you are hesitating by it's high price - I would say GO 4 it if U ve craze on photography.
