Contrary to what some believe, the Nikon D7000 is not the successor to the D90. The specifications of this digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera effectively sandwich it between the D90 and D300S to create a new market segment.

The D7000 is equipped with a 16.2-megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor (1.5x crop factor), Nikon's latest Expeed 2 image processor, a 3-inch LCD screen and dual SD card slots (supporting up to SDXC). All these are packed in a magnesium alloy shell that weighs only 780g (including battery).

The D7000 also features a new auto focusing (AF) system with 39-point AF points and nine cross-type sensors in the centre to ensure razor-sharp shots. You can shoot still images up to 6 frames per second (fps) and full 1920x1080p high-definition videos at 24 fps.

The camera will be available in local stores at $2,299 (body with AF-S DX 18-105mm/f3.5-5.6 lens) early next month.
