The Nikon D7000

In late September Nikon released new camera the Nikon D7000. The Nikon D7000 is another model mid-class Nikon DX-format Digital-SLR camera the update to combined the features of the D300 and the D90, adding newer features like full high definition Video recording to 1080p, and its auto focus feature while capturing video. Nikon was the first to release a DLSR with video recording capabilities with the model Nikon D90, after that competitors such as canon released cameras the Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 7D that help dominate the market with there feature of full HD, Nikon counters with the Nikon D3000, and now the Nikon D7000 adding a continuous auto focusing system while recording video. The Nikon D7000 Camera body currently sold out is $1,199.95 at B&H Photo and the D7000 Competitor the Canon 60D is $100 cheaper. The cost extra cost is buying you 30 more point focus to the D7000 39-point auto focus system, an extra SD slot for twice the memory, and I shot .7 seconds faster for a grand total of 6fps.
