Review:

The camera offers improved capability with shooting under dim lighting like in the evening or indoors. It also expands possibilities for expression with rapidly moving subjects with standard sensitivity range of ISO100 - 6400 and additional increases up to Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent).

Nikon's latest image-processing engine, EXPEED 2 is developed with the ideas, know-how and technologies regarding digital images that Nikon has cultivated over the years. It enables faster image processing, a high level of noise reduction, better color reproduction characteristics, and reduced power consumption.

D7000 utilizes continuous shooting (CH) mode at approx. 6.0 frames per second and it has an option to do continuous shooting (CL) mode that is selectable from 1-5 frames per second.
