Nikon have a long and successful history in producing both excellent cameras and lenses, but what was probably a defining moment in their history was the introduction of the F range of cameras in 1959 and in particular, the F2 in 1971, which became the dream camera to own. It quickly became the camera of choice by most professionals, with its ruggedness and exquisite attention to detail.
Then in 1982 came the amazing FM2 with a titanium shutter and a flash sync speed of a 250th of a second, and with the addition of an MD12 drive, it could achieve 3.5 frames per second. Although this was a totally manual camera it was the top choice of photojournalists around the world in its day and pretty much set the bar for other manufacturers.
But back to the future. Nikon have a great range of D SLR cameras to choose from and selecting from the range is obviously influenced by many factors including your needs and budget. However, one camera is emerging as having the makings of a classic that will withstand the test of time and the high speed rate of technological advance. Nikon has announced the D7000, a new feature-packed DSLR aimed at enthusiasts. For the technically minded, it incorporates a 16.2 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor. It will sit above Nikon's D90 for the foreseeable future, but in many ways it's more feature-rich than the company's D300s semi-professional DSLR.
The brand new sensor has been coupled with Nikon's new Expeed 2 processor to enable high-speed continuous shooting at six frames per second at sensitivities ranging from ISO 100 to 6400, expandable to an incredible 25600. It also enables the camera to support full HD video recording at 1080p24. The video mode is the same as the one Nikon added to the entry-level D3100, so it includes full-time auto focus, a feature lacking in the D90. All this is housed inside a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body that's not much bigger than the D90. On the rear it has a 921,000-dot 3in LCD, and there's support for twin SDXC cards.
If you want to forget all the technical mumbo jumbo, just pick up and use a D7000 for a while and you'll be hooked. It's lightweight, fast and refined, produces images of extraordinary quality and handles better than any Nikon D SLR, regardless of price. This camera is destined to be one of the greats.
