Berbagai macam kecanggihan yang dimiliki oleh Nikon D7000 merupakan hal yang pastinya mampu menarik peminat fotografi untuk menjajal kecanggihan yang dimiliki kamera ini. Dengan menggunakan prosesor gambar EXPEED 2 yang merupakan pengembangan terbaru dari Nikon, dan sesuatu yang menarik lainnya adalah kamera ini mampu merekam gambar video dengan tampilan Full HD 1080p. Selain itu hal yang lebih mengesankan lagi adalah berbagai macam fitur yang ditanamkan dalam kamera ini mampu memanjakan pengguna dengan pengoperasian yang mudah dan tentunya dengan harga yang sangat terjangkau. Dan berikut ini adalah beberapa keunggulan yang dimiliki oleh Nikon D7000.




Nikon DX-format CMOS sensor

Jantung dari kaera DSLR nikon D7000 adalah Sebuah sensor gambar DX-format CMOS dengan 16,2 megapixel efektif, direkayasa untuk mengoptimalkan kamera dalam mengumpulkan cahaya yang lebih berkualitas melalui lensa Nikkor yang tajam. Dengan konversi 14-bit A/d yang beroperasi di dalam sensor, Nikon D7000 merealisasikan gambar yang menakjubkan yang kaya dengan tone dan detail yang lebih cepat dari yang sebelumnya dalam format DX tanpa mengorbankan kecepatan pengambilan gambar atau efisiensi energi.

Rentang Sensitivitas Wide ISO 100 hingga 6400
Kisaran atau rentang sensitivitas ISO yang di usung oleh Nikon D7000 yaitu antara 100 hingga 6400 pada pengaturan normal dan dapat dinaik kan hingga Hi 2 (ISO yang stara dengan 25600). Hal ini akan mampu memberikan gambar yang tajam dengan noise yang diminimalisir dengan tetap menjaga resolusi tinggi bahkan pada saat pengaturan ISO tinggi. Kamera ini memungkinkan anda untuk memilih kecepatan rana yang lebih cepat dan memungkinkan anda memperluas kreativitas dalam situasi yang lowlight dan adegan olahraga tanpa khawatir image-degrading noise. 

Magnesium Alloy Untuk Body memberi keunggulan tahan cuaca dan anti debu

Di dalam ukuran kamera yang ringkas dengan dimensi 132 (W) x 105 (H) x 77 (D), Nikon D7000 menggunakanmagnesium alloy yang halus dan yang kasar untuk body bagian atas dan bagian belakang cover untuk memberikan daya tahan yang tinggi. Semua bagian tersambung satu sama lain dengan sangat rapat tanpa celah sedikitpun sehingga membuatnya menjadi unggul dalam hal ketahanan terhadap cuaca dan juga memberikan fitur anti debu yang baik.

Scene Recognition Sistem memanfaatkan 2.016-pixel RGB sensor dan sensor gambar

Scene Recognition System secara tepat membaca situasi subjek sebelum menembak dan mengirimkan kontrol otomatis yang sangat akurat. Perangkat ini menggunakan sensor RGB 2.016-pixel yang baru dikembangkan untuk menganalisa kecerahan dan informasi warna adegan serta menerapkan ini untuk autofocus, eksposur otomatis, i-TTL flash control dan auto white balance untuk kontrol yang akurat. Juga, Nikon D7000 mampu mendeteksi hingga 35 wajah manusia memanfaatkan sensor gambar saat menggunakan face-priority AF selama Live View dan perekaman film, dan zoom playback wajah seseorang pada gambar foto.



Beberapa hal di atas merupakan sedikit dari sekian banyak kecanggihan teknologi yang di usung kamera Nikon D7000 sebagai kamera semi profesional. Dan berikut adalah daftar harga kamera DSLR Nikon D7000 dan spesifikasi lengkapnya.
