Nikon D7000 review
If you don't want to hate your current camera, look away now. Nikon's 16 megapixel D7000 as landed into the world of officialdom with a bang, bringing with it an almighty 39-point autofocus system, 100 percent viewfinder coverage, 1080/24p and 720/30p video options, dual SD card slots, 6 frames per second burst rate of up to 100 JPEGs, and magnesium alloy top and back covers for that extra bit of metalised durability.
The continuous video autofocus that debuted in the D3100 is here too, though bear in mind there's a 20 minute cap on uninterrupted recordings. Video nuts might not like that, but at least there's a stereo mic input and an added control dial for adjusting shooting modes.
It's looking like a thorough upgrade from the D90, and has easily beaten Canon's direct competitor - the 60D, in most cases, though it -- costs less than the D7000's $1,200 body-only asking price (or $1,500 with the 18-105 kit lens).

Who should buy this camera?
Everyone, who is interested in photography and have the buck to spend. In my opinion, skip the entry-level DSLR as they have very limited features and you will find that you will need them in no time. So why not get a better one at first? Being the D90 replacement, this camera is actually of a higher-grade than normal amateur cameras.
With the wide range of features available for photography in this camera, it really makes it the only camera that you will need in your life. All the features that you will want to have are already packed into this camera: 39 AF points, 6 frames per second, 16.2mp DX sensor, and even full HD mode for those video freaks out there.
Honestly, I would rate this D7000 as 'on par' with the D300s, or at least the D300s' little brother!
