Nikon D7000: In the face of competitor brands that have higher megapixel counts and superior movie-recording abilities, this is the camera that Nikon-using enthusiasts have been crying out for. And boy, looking at the spec sheets alone, it looks like Nikon has really delivered. This APS-C (with 1.5x FOV crop) camera delivers 16.2-megapixel photographs and records Full HD 1080p/24fps videos in AVCHD format (easily burned to Blu-ray). Recordings can be up to 20 minutes long (a far cry from the 5-minute clips of old) and edited in-camera. Frames can also be extracted from videos to print as photographs; and it’ll be easy to manage photo and video files with the dual SD card slots. With a magnesium alloy body (normally reserved for pro-level cameras such as the D300s, D700 and D3s) and a native ISO range of 100-6400 (extendable to 25600), this camera will sit somewhere between the D90 and the D300s for quality and performance. Pricing, however, is going to have to wait until October, when it’s expected to hit the market. Price not set
