The camera is targeted to replace the D90 which was so popular during the 2 years of this backward now sold a little more expensive with the price of 12 million body only. The presence of Nikon D7000 is to be expected is the answer to the Nikon over the Canon EOS 60D birth of both of which share similar specifications, have the same price and are both classified as semi-professional cameras in the classroom APS-C sensor. Nikon itself since the presence of D5000 seems consistent to name DSLRnya camera line with four-digit number that is much better to anticipate naming his camera up to a few generations to come.

Judging from the specifications above appears when there is almost for all aspects of a significant increase compared to the D90, even resembles the features of the D300. So it seemed natural that any D90 owners will be tempted to upgrade to this D7000. This camera body is similar to the D90 at a glance with the difference of a special button for a live-view and the movie (just like the D3100). Nikon D7000 had left button layout is the same as the D90 which is to access the MENU, WB, ISO, and Quality. But on the D7000 provided the play button to access the scene modes S, CL, CH as in the D300 (the play of this kind do not exist in the D90). On the mode dial D7000 no longer be given a few Scene modes such as Landscape, Macro, etc.. Instead, a choice of Scene modes available, two User Profile that can be stored (U1 and U2) to accompany the modes P, A, S, M and AUTO.

If this does happen, then the newbies will be brought to choose D3100, which is more serious in class DX please to woo D7000 and to just try out the professional grade camera like the D700 or D3/D3x/D3s FX.
