Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dave Bar Fast, refined, and flat-out amazing, that's Nikon's D7000 in a nutshell. This capable SLR delivers amazing, detail-rich photos and vivid HD movies with the ease of a top-end professional model, but at a fraction of the size and cost. You get precise, high-speed autofocus and spot-on exposures thanks to Nikon's newly developed wide-area AF system and advanced metering sensor. Critical shooting controls are strategically placed right at your fingertips for smooth, intuitive operation. The cam's lightweight, magnesium alloy body and grippy, rubberized surfaces make it a pleasure to use and hold, whether you're taking pictures at a marathon family reunion, capturing weddings and sports events, or hiking in the great outdoors. The included Nikon image-stabilizing zoom lens helps keep your pictures looking sharp, even in low-light shooting environments where camera shake can cause images to blur. Stunning 16.2-megapixel image details The D7000's powerful, all-new image sensor provides beautiful high-resolution photos you can crop heavily and still use to make big, crisp prints. Advanced CMOS technology delivers vibrant images with exceptionally wide dynamic range, allowing you to accurately capture subtle photographic detail on both strongly lit and deeply shadowed areas of your picture at the same time. Extended ISO sensitivity settings let you handle the full gamut of lighting situations from the bright and sunny outdoors to low-lit evenings and interiors. 3" high-resolution LCD with live view This camera's bright LCD screen provides a crystal-clear window for reviewing your pics and movie clips. It also boasts three live view modes that let you compose photos and video on-screen in real time. Wide Area AF (autofocus) mode works great for shooting active subjects from tricky high or low angles that make it difficult to use the viewfinder. The Normal Area AF mode gives you ultra-precise focusing for still subjects when using a tripod. Nikon even included a Face Priority AF mode that can detect up to 35 people, and makes it easy to take sharp, in-focus portraits. Shoot up to 6 frames per second Nikon's advanced image processor provides near-instant camera startup and shutter response. It also makes it possible to shoot images continuously at up to 6 frames per second. All that speed is great for capturing high-quality photo sequences, like your young basketball star making a game-winning layup or a horse and rider clearing the fence at a steeplechase. The D7000's dual memory card slots store images on optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and can be configured to store your images in a variety of ways, including separate RAW and JPEG files or movies on one and stills on the other.

Because of their build quality and the physics of good glass and large sensors, even their built-in automatic settings will get you better pictures than most point-and-shoots or mobile devices. But experienced photographers and budding hobbyists can get more creative by manually adjusting settings like aperture and shutter speed. SLRs let you expand your shooting options with additional lenses and flashes to suit just about any situation. If you'd like to record the occasional video, look for a model with high-def movie mode.

"Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value This is a big upgrade from my fixed lens Olympus 8080. Camera and lens feel well balanced, not as heavy as I expected. Easy to set ISO and easy manual use of f/stop and shutter speed. The lens is nice, smooth zoom operation and crisp images, though not the best for low light situations. Pros: Easy to use controls. Good picture quality. Great open box price. Cons: None so far. Was this review helpful?

Starting to take some pictures, the quality is great. The user manual is easy to follow. By the way the Crutchfield has a great service Pros: Perfect for photographer at any stage.

"Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value Friend with a $3,000.00 kit of another brand is envious of the features and menu of my Nikon 7000. Actually in awe of the Nikon. Pros: Ease of use, picture quality. Not too complicated for a 81 year old to learn. Cons: None so far and don't expect to have any problems. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The next step in my photographic evolution Written By Orli, Miami, FL on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value This is an upgrade from the D5000 which I love. Although still a DX, this camera starts to skirt the fringes of a full frame FX camera with the magnesium body and the controls on the outside, without having to go into the menu too much. I can be so much quicker with the settings that I don't miss as many shot opportunities that I used to miss with the D5000. Feels good in the hand. The added weight won't kill you, after a full day of running and gunning. Put a good set of lenses in front of it and you will be rewarded with tack sharp photos. I love it. Hmmm...what model Nikon will I be getting next? 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Outstanding value Written By John, Oklahoma City, OK on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value This product is an excellent value proposition. Viewfinder is large and bright, more than enough focus points for everyday and semi-professional use. The body feels strong, fit and finish is excellent and controls are within easy reach. There may be a newer model but if you don't need the latest and greatest features (some of which will not make a huge difference in picture quality) you will not regret purchasing this model. Pros: Build and image quality, features, battery life. Cons: Weight. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value I have been wanting this camera for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Best purchase ever and Crutchfield had by far the best price!!! I will never buy anything electronic from anyone else! Pros: too many to list Cons: didn't buy it sooner 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Impressive DSLR Written By Don, CC, Texas on Saturday, March 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value So this is my first DSLR, Though I have used various slr cameras as well as point and shoots for 30+ years. I was a bit taken aback after getting this camera and seeing it had just over 1900 shutter actuations, though I did buy the scratch and dent for the savings it gave me. That being said, I couldn't find any sign that this camera had been used. It was in brand new condition upon arrival. I have taken 500+ pics with it and aside from a small learning curve I am very pleased with the cameras performance. The lens is a perfect balance in a wide angle telephoto lens, and I have run it through a series of test shots that pleased me to no end. I really didn't expect a kit lens to be as sweet as this one is. Overall I think this is the best bang for buck DSLR I could find. The deciding factor in going with the D7000 was the weather sealed body, as well as a larger body, as I have very large hands that swallow the entry level models. Though a good size body I may still buy the battery grip for added battery life and extra grip room. Highly recommend this camera to anyone in the market. Crutchfield never disappoints either, with the best customer service out there, btw thanks to Ann for answering my questions before I could ask. Your good! Pros: Weather sealed, larger body, two card readers, and all the features I could want. Oh and takes amazing photographs! Cons: Slight learning curve, but no more than anyone would expect. The fact that it was a used camera kinda irritates, but like new condition placates me. It was scratch and dent so I should have anticipated there was some use. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon! Written By B.

Pros: All the features Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No best camera for the price on the market Written By JohnDM, Fayetteville, AR on Sunday, December 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value After several weeks of reading up on the D7000, I purchased it. Most reviews were very positive and I have to admit, they were right on. The D7000 is as good as many cameras twice or three times it's cost on the market. This is the first digital camera I have owned. For more than three decades, I have shot film. On certain reviews, it stated there was a "learning curve" to the D7000. I read the manual and was able to understand everything about the camera in less than a day. The transition from film to digital was very simple. For the money, you can't beat this camera. Anyone interested in a professional type digital camera, who doesn't want to mortgage their home to get one, should look at this camera. The only thing I was a little disappointed about was the inability to change f-stop during video. I know very little about digital and this may be the norm in most cameras, I don't know. Other than that, it is very easy to navigate the menus and all the functions are at your fingertips and ergonomic. After the first of the year, i plan on getting a lot of accessories for mine. Crutchfield was prompt and had a great price on the camera. Very pleased and they have the most helpful staff around. I will be returning for my next purchase. Pros: easy to use, incredible price for all the camera you get, ergonomic design, lightweight but not "cheap", beautiful photos and quick and reliable focus Cons: none so far 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Nikon D7000 Kit Written By luvgadgets2010, Austin,TX on Monday, May 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value Fantastic camera, excellent features and stunning picture quality. I was looking to replace my D3100 with a more advanced camera at a reasonable pricepoint. I tried the D5100 first and was not completely satisfied. Ended up exchanging it for a D7000. I also purchased a 35mm prime lens which is an excellent addition. I also invested in some kindle books - digital photography 4 volumes from Scott Kelby and D7000 by Darrell Young. Thanks to crutchfield for making the exchange a smooth "no hassle" process. I Pros: Love the speed, fast shutter speed of 6 fps. Value for money. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: This camera can be as versatile & complicated as you choose to make it or as simple as a point & shoot. Cons: A bit bulky. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Great Camera Written By Deann, Guilford,CT on Saturday, November 27, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first SLR Digital Camera and I love it. The scene mode takes great pictures and it's easy to use. I love being able to zoom and focus manually. Looking forward to learning more about the camera as I go. 10 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No This is the camera you want. The Ultimate DX-format camera. Written By Dan, Chicago, IL on Thursday, November 18, 2010 This is Nikon's new flagship DX camera. The resolution and crispness are unsurpassed. "U1 & U2 Presets" (user programmable settings) are something I've been waiting for. It has incredible low-light performance matched only by Nikon's $5000 D3. I've only been playing with it for a few days, but each time I pick it up it surprises me even more. This is the ultimate Nikon DX-format camera. I'm very glad that I pre- ordered it through Crutchfield. Their customer service and delivery time is fantastic. Many thanks to the fine people at Crutchfield for getting the D7000 to me so quickly. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon D7000 Written By JMIG, Louisiana on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I learned that from Nikonians Crutchfield had the D7000 in stock. I have always thought of them as high-end audio and so I didn't even think to look to Crutchfield for a D7000. I am glad I got the heads up from Nikonians. Less than an hour after ordering online, I received a phone call to confirm I had indeed ordered the camera. The young lady told me the camera would go out that evening. Sure enough a few days later UPS delivered it to my door. I have used a D40 for years and love the little camera. However, it missed a few features like depth of field preview which I wanted. Sometimes it had trouble finding the focus with it three AF points. The D7000 has met and exceeded all my expectations. I won't go into boring detail about all the features on the camera. If you are an advanced amateur or pro, you already know what it will do. If you are a casual shooter or an amateur who wants a camera that will provide you with more sophistication and speed, this camera will do so. Learn to use it and it will make you a better photographer. I really like the camera. It is much faster to focus and fire than the D40. The image in the viewfinder is large and clear. I love the ability to shoot RAW on one card and JPG on the second. In this way, I can easily review my shots and only download the keepers in RAW. I know it will take me a while to really learn this camera and its capabilities. I am happy I purchased the D7000. 12 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon D7000 Written By kricha6431, Silsbee, TX on Thursday, October 07, 2010 Nikon D7000, I don't just like it, I LOVE IT. I remember how much love I had when I first got my D90 and found out I couldn't keep it because of Job loss and lack of funds to continue to pay for it. OH MAN, DID I LOVE THAT D90! And man i darn sure would have loved to have kept it, oh well, i guess it wasn't meant to be just yet. Now enter the D7000, and I will make sure I get this one and not miss out this go around around. What I like about it: 1st is the 39 AF points, 2nd is the 100% Viewfinder, 3rd it is faster shooting then D90 at 6FPS vs. 4.5FPS for D90, 4th is the Higher ISO's of 25,600 vs. the D90's ISO6400 tops, 5th is faster AF, 6th AF MicroAdjust, 7th 1/8000 Shutter Speed vs. D90's 1/4000 top Shutter Speed. And I see no need to keep listing it's positives it has going for it over the D90. On a Negative note (a small one at that), I was hoping for a Swivel Monitor, but no biggie, I'll get along without it I guess, of course there is always the Canon 60D I could Buy to go along with it since Canon AE-1 was my first Love 20 out of 37 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The kit also includes a EN-EL15 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery pack and a battery charger. LCD Monitor: The Nikon D7000 has a 3" Super-Density TFT LCD monitor featuring approximately 921,000 dots, a 170-degree viewing angle, and adjustable brightness (-3 to +3). The monitor can display shooting information such as shutter speed, aperture, and number of exposures remaining as well as the settings currently applied. Live View: The camera features One-Touch Live View, which allows you to frame your photographs in the monitor instead of the viewfinder. When the Live View switch is rotated, the mirror is raised and the view through the lens will be displayed in the monitor. The subject will no longer be visible in the viewfinder. The Live View display will show up to 10 items, including shooting, focus, and AF-area modes, along with other status indicators. You can opt to hide many of the indicators, or overlay a framing grid in the monitor. Optical Viewfinder: The D7000 uses a fixed eye-level penta-mirror single-lens reflex viewfinder with a built-in diopter adjustment to set the viewfinder to your personal eyesight (with or without glasses). The viewfinder's coverage area is approximately 100% horizontal and vertical. During self-timer or remote control operation when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cap to cover the eyepiece. Image Sensor: The D7000 features a 23.1mm x 15.4mm CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.9 million pixels and an effective pixel count of approximately 16.2 million. Dust Reduction System: The image sensor is equipped with a low-pass filter to remove dust or dirt on the sensor. You can set the camera to clean the image sensor automatically at startup, or at shut down, or both. It can also be set to turn the auto cleaning function off. The Dust Reduction System also includes Image Dust Off, which allows the camera to acquire reference data to be used with the Image Dust Off application in the optional Capture NX 2 software. Recording Media: The camera records images on Secure Digital (SD) memory cards up to 2 GB in size, SDHC memory cards up to 32 GB, and SDXC cards up to 64 GB. No SD cards are included with the camera. Dual Media Slots: The D7000 has two slots for Secure Digital (SD) media. When two memory cards are inserted in the camera you have the following options: Overflow: The card in slot 2 is used only when the card in slot 1 is full. Backup: Each picture is recorded twice, once to the card in slot 1 and again to the card in slot 2. RAW Slot 1-JPEG Slot 2: Operates like Backup, except when camera is recording NEF/RAW + JPEG images; NEF/RAW images are recorded to the card in slot 1, while the JPEG images are recorded to the card in slot 2. Movies: When shooting movies, you can select which slot is used to record movies. Copy: You can copy image files from one card to another. Still Image Formats: The D7000 records still images in JPEG and NEF (RAW) formats. You can choose from the following Image Quality and Image Size settings: Quality Option (Compression ratio) Available Image Sizes Description NEF (Raw) 4928 x 3264 Raw 12- or 14-bit data from the image sensor is saved directly to the memory card in compressed Nikon Electronic Format (NEF). NEF + JPEG Fine, Normal, or Basic 4928 x 3264 Two images are recorded, one NEF image and one fine-quality JPEG image. Fine (1:4) L: 4928 x 3264 M: 3696 x 2448 S: 2464 x 1632 Fine image quality, suitable for enlargements or high-quality prints. Normal (1:8) Normal image quality, suited to most applications Basic (1:16) Basic image quality, suitable for pictures that will be distributed by e-mail or used in web pages. Movie Recording: The D7000 records movies in High Definition in 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition in 3:2. Movies are recorded in MOV file format, with H.264/MPEG-4 advanced video coding, and Linear PCM audio, recorded by the built-in monaural microphone or an external stereo microphone. You can choose between normal and high quality recording. The maximum clip length is 20 minutes. The only metering method available is Matrix. Movies can be recorded in the following frame sizes and rates (NTSC): Frame Size (pixels) Frame Rate (frames per second) 1920 x 1080 (16:9) 24 fps (actually 23.976) 1280 x 720 (16:9) 30 fps (29.97) 1280 x 720 (16:9) 24 fps (23.976) 640 x 424 (3:2) 30 fps (29.97) Focus Modes: The D7000's lets you choose from the following autofocus and manual focus modes: Auto-servo Autofocus (AF-A): The camera automatically selects single-servo AF if the subject is stationary, or continuous-servo AF if the subject is moving. Single-servo Autofocus (AF-S): For stationary subjects. Focus locks when shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Continuous-servo Autofocus (AF-C): For moving subjects. Camera focuses continuously while shutter release button is pressed halfway. Manual (M): Manual focus is available for lenses that do not support autofocus (non-AF Nikkor lenses) or when autofocus does not produce the desired results. AF Assist Illuminator: The built-in AF assist illuminator enables the camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. This feature will light automatically to assist the autofocus operation when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. It has an operating range of 1'-8" to 9'-10". AF-Area Modes: The D7000 offers a choice of focus areas that together cover a wide area of the frame. The AF-area mode determines how the focus area is selected and what happens if the subject moves out of the selected focus area while the camera is still focusing. You can choose one of the following AF-area modes: Single Point: You select the focus area manually and the camera focuses on the subject in the selected focus area only. The selection can be made from any one of the eleven AF spot sensors. Dynamic Area: In AF-A and AF-C modes, user selects focus point manually but camera will focus based on information from surrounding focus points if subject briefly leaves the selected point. In AF-S focus mode, you select the focus point manually. The number of focus points varies with the mode selected: 9, 21, or 39-point dynamic area AF. 3D-Tracking (11 points): In AF-A and AF-C focus modes, you select the focus point using the multi-selector. If subject moves after camera has focused, the camera selects new focus points and keep focus locked on original subject while shutter release pressed halfway. If subject leaves viewfinder, you will need to remove finger from shutter release button and recompose photo with subject in the selected focus point. Focus Lock: Focus Lock can be used to change the composition after focusing, making it possible to focus on a subject that will not be in one of the focus points in the final composition. Release Modes: The camera can take pictures one at a time, or continuously as long as the shutter release button is pressed. You can also take photos using the self-timer or with an optional remote control. The camera allows you to choose from the following Release Modes: Single Frame: The camera takes one photograph each time the shutter release button is pressed Continuous Low Speed: The camera records photographs up to 1-3 frames per second while the shutter release button is held down. Continuous High Speed: While the shutter release button is held down, the camera records up to 6 frames per second. Quiet Shutter Release: The camera takes a single photograph, as in Single Frame mode, except that the camera makes no shutter sound when shooting or beep when focusing. Self-timer: This mode can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits. The shutter is released about 10 or 2 seconds after shutter-release button is pressed depending on setting. Remote Control: The shutter is controlled using the shutter release button on the optional ML-L3 remote control (item # 054MLL3, sold separately). Mirror Up: This mode helps minimize camera shake by raising the mirror prior to the shot being taken. Use of a tripod is recommended. Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II: The D7000's 3D Color Matrix Metering II evaluates each scene for brightness, color, contrast, size and position of shadows and highlights, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, comparing that information against an onboard database of more than 30,000 actual photographic scenes. The result delivers instantly and precisely determined exposures for each scene, even in challenging lighting conditions. Metering: You can choose from the following Metering Modes to determine how the camera sets exposure: Matrix: Produces natural results in most situations. Camera uses 420-pixel RGB sensor to meter a wide area of the frame and set exposure according to tone distribution, color, composition, and with type G or D lenses, range information. (See 3D Color Matrix Metering II above). With other CPU lenses, the camera uses color matrix metering II, which does not include 3D range information. Center-weighted: The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest weight to center area. The diameter of the circle can be set to 6, 8, 10, or 13mm. Spot: The camera meters exposure in active focus point only. This ensures that the subject will be correctly exposed, even when background is much brighter or darker. Shooting Modes: The Mode Dial on the top of the camera offers a choice of shooting modes: Auto Modes: Auto: The camera handles exposure, shutter-speed, ISO sensitivity and White balance so you can just point and shoot. Auto Flash Off: Captures scenes using only available lighting. Ideal for museums, weddings or any situation where a flash is prohibited or inappropriate. P, S, A, and M Modes: Programmed Auto: Choose from one of the automatically selected shutter speed/aperture combinations and allows control over exposure compensation, metering and other features. Shutter-Priority Auto: You determine the shutter speed to freeze or blur motion, while the camera decides the ideal aperture. Aperture-Priority Auto: Simply select the aperture to control the depth-of-field and the camera determines the ideal shutter speed. Manual: Choose both the shutter speed and the aperture on your own. You can refer to the electronic analog exposure display of the camera for help with appropriate exposures. User-defined Modes (U1 and U2): You can store most camera settings in U1 or U2 so you can recall them at any time without having to enter the menu. Scene Modes: Portrait: Keeps your main subject in sharp focus with a soft background for more pleasing portraits. Child: Delivers fresh, natural skin tones for stunning shots of children. Clothing also vividly rendered. Landscape: Ideal for beautiful scenery with great perspectives and optimized greens and blues. Sports: Freezes fast-moving subjects easily. Close Up: Find beauty in small details by focusing sharply on a small area with a softly blurred background. Ideal for flowers and coins or other small treasures. Night Landscape: Night Portrait: Capture your main subject in low light while retaining a natural looking background exposure. Party/Indoor: Captures the effects of indoor background lighting. Beach/Snow: Captures the brightness of sunlit expanses of water, snow, or sand. Dusk/Dawn: Preserves the colors seen before dawn or after sunset. Sunset: Preserves the deep hues seen in sunsets or sunrises. Pet Portrait: Use for portraits of active pets. Candlelight: For photos taken by candlelight, without flash. (Tripod recommended) Autumn Colors: Captures the brilliant reds and yellows of autumn leaves. Blossom: Use for fields of flowers, orchards in bloom, or other landscapes featuring expanses of blossoms. Food: For taking vivid photographs of food. Silhouette: Silhouette subjects against bright backgrounds. Low Key: For shooting dark scenes to create dark, somber images that bright out highlights. High Key: For shooting bright scenes to create bright images. AE/AF Lock: If your subject is off-centered in the frame, it can become difficult to achieve proper exposure and focus. By engaging the AE/AF Lock feature, you can focus and meter on your subject, lock the exposure and focus by pressing the shutter release button halfway, then recompose your shot before taking the picture. You can choose from the following AE/AF Lock settings. AE/AF Lock: both focus and exposure lock while the AE/AF lock button is pressed AE Lock: exposure locks while the AE/AF lock button is pressed while the focus is unaffected AF Lock: focus locks while the AE/AF lock button is pressed while the exposure is unaffected AE Lock Hold: exposure locks when the AE/AF lock button is pressed and remains locked until the button is pressed again AF-On: the AE/AF button initiates autofocus while the shutter-release button cannot be used to focus FV Lock: When using flash, press the AE-L/AF-L button to lock flash value. Works with built-in flash and many SB-series external flash models. Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -5.0 to +5.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. Long Exposure Noise Reduction: This option controls whether photographs taken at high sensitivities (over ISO 400) or shutter speeds slower than 8 seconds are processed to reduce noise before being recorded to the memory card. Noise reduction can be set to High, Normal, Low, or Off. White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. When the camera is set to one of the exposure modes, you can choose one of the following white balance options: Auto: The white balance is automatically adjusted to suit the lighting conditions. Incandescent: This is used under incandescent lighting situations. Fluorescent: This is used for most fluorescent lighting conditions. Direct Sunlight: This is for use with subjects that are under direct sunlight. Flash: This is for use with built-in Speedlight or optional Nikon Speedlights are used. Cloudy: This is used when taking pictures under overcast skies. Shade: This is used under sunny skies when subject is in shade. Preset: A white object is used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions. Note: In addition to the the basic White Balance options, the camera features advanced White Balance (color temperature) settings for specific types of lighting. You can choose from Sodium-vapor lamps, Incandescent/Warm-white fluorescent, White fluorescent, Cool-white fluorescent, Day white fluorescent, Daylight fluorescent, and Mercury-vapor lamps. ISO Sensitivity: ISO Sensitivity is the digital equivalent of film speed. When lighting is poor, the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures, and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement, up to a maximum equivalent of ISO 6400. Using the ISO button and main command dial, you can manually select from ISO settings 100 to 6400, with incremental steps of 1/3 EV. You can also choose HI 1 (ISO 12800 equivalent) or HI 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent) for even higher sensitivity. Active D-Lighting: Nikon's Active D-Lighting can correct exposure issues due to difficult lighting conditions instantly and automatically while you shoot. Active D-Lighting preserves details in highlights and shadows, creating photographs with natural contrast. Flash: The D7000 has a built-in pop-up flash for illuminating poorly lit scenes or to fill in shadows and backlit subjects. There are several flash modes available, which vary depending upon the shooting mode selected: Off: flash does not fire even when lighting is poor or subject is backlit Auto: When lighting is poor or the subject is back lit, flash pops up automatically when shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Red-eye Reduction: reduces the red-eye effect sometimes caused by flash. Slow Sync: flash is combined with slow shutter speeds to capture both subject and background at night or under dim light Rear-curtain Sync: The flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating effect of stream of light following moving subjects Fill Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken Accessory Shoe: The camera has an accessory shoe for mounting optional SB-series Speedlights. The camera supports the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS) and can be used with CLS-compatible flash units. Flash Exposure Compensation: In P, S, A, and M modes, the flash exposure compensation can be used to increase or reduce flash output from the level chosen by the camera's flash control system. The flash exposure compensation can be set to values between -3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in increments of 1/3 or 1/2 EV. Virtual Horizon: The camera can display a virtual horizon based on information from the camera tilt sensor. This can be displayed in the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor in Live View. Histogram: The D7000 features the ability to view a histogram on the LCD monitor screen. A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Image Enhancement: When the camera is set to one of the P, S, A, or M modes, you can choose from the following image enhancement options: Standard: Standard processing for balanced results--recommended for most situations. Neutral: Minimal processing for natural results. Choose for photos that will later be extensively processed or retouched. Vivid: Pictures are enhanced for a vivid photoprint effect. Choose for photographs that emphasize primary colors. Monochrome: takes photos in black and white Portrait: lowers contrast while lending natural texture and rounded feel Landscape: produces vibrant landscapes and cityscapes Optional GPS: The GP-1 GPS unit (sold separately) can be connected to the camera's accessory terminal to allow information on the camera's current position to be recorded when photographs are taken. Multi-Language Menu: You can choose from one of 22 languages for display of the camera menus and messages including English, French and Spanish.

chicken broth
1 clove

1/4 teaspoon

2 tablespoons
2 cups
uncooked instant rice
Easy and delicious recipe. This would also work well with pork. Had frozen, boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins on hand so that is what I used and will use again, they came out tender and moist. It needs more seasoning which I will experiment with the next time I make it. I used brown rice because we cannot have the white. Maybe that took away from the flavor. It took 3 1/2 fresh, squeezed limes to make the 1/3c needed. Will make this often. Thank you Lisa D for a great recipe.
If you want to use regular rice rather than instant, put the rice in for much longer, maybe even at the start.

I thought this recipe had potential, plus it's a slow cooker recipe that doesn't involve a can of cream soup! As written, I give it 3 stars, but with my changes, I think it's a 4 star recipe. I added a handful of fresh cilantro and 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper for some kick. I used low-sodium chicken broth and then added salt to taste (about 3/4 tsp). I didn't have instant rice, so I added 1 cup regular rice about 1 hour before the chicken was supposed to be done. I then served it with fresh chopped cilantro on top. We loved the rice, but the chicken was DRY. I think chicken thighs would be a much better option for this recipe. The dark meat would stay more moist. I will make this again with my changes and using chicken thighs!
My family really liked this recipe! We cut the chicken up into large chunks before cooking so that we could serve it easier! And we added fresh tomatoes, cilantro and jack cheese on top. We served it with black beans (canned) and a green salad! Great summer dinner!
YUM!! I only gave it four stars because I changed a bunch of stuff, but it was delicious! The things I changed were: chicken thighs, brown rice, homemade seasoned chicken stock, and fresh thyme. I added to the recipe: diced peppers and onions, and one can of diced tomatoes. The rice was really creamy and the flavor was great!
Delicious recipe! I made this using one an older model crock pot that cooks slower than the newer models but I still found 8 hours on low to be a bit too long (chicken was a bit dry). Other than that, we thought the flavor was excellent! I resisted the urge to kick it up a bit because I knew my kids wouldn't eat it if I did but I bet this would be good with a can of Rotel or other spices added. It also seems like it would work well with pork. Yummy!
This recipe was really good with a little tweaks. I added extra garlic about 4 cloves, extra lime juice, and a can of mild rotel. I also salted the chicken because my family likes their food with salt. They loved it. The kids gobbled it up and my boyfriend didn't even get any.
We liked it but it was a bit bland for us so I did add a bit more of the spices to it and I used brown rice instead of white. It is one we will add to our recipe book.

(Bloomberg) The U.S. House voted to temporarily suspend the nations borrowing limit, removing the debt ceiling for now as a tool for seeking deeper spending cuts.
The measure, passed 285-144, lifts the governments $16.4 trillion borrowing limit until May 19. It goes to the Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid said lawmakers will pass the measure unchanged and send it to President Barack Obama.
The premise here is pretty simple; it says that there should be no long-term increase in the debt limit until theres a long-term plan to deal with the fiscal crisis that faces our country, House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said during floor debate. This is the first step in an effort to bring real fiscal responsibility to Washington.
The revised strategy eliminates the risk that House Republicans would be blamed for a default in the short term. Republicans plan to focus on other fiscal deadlines and say they arent giving up their fight for cuts to federal programs.
Republicans plan to use two other approaching deadlines -- the March 1 start of automatic spending cuts and the need to pass a bill to fund the government by the end of March -- to extract spending reductions from Obama and congressional Democrats.
The measure passed today, H.R. 325, would allow the nations borrowing authority to automatically rise May 19 to accommodate the amount the U.S. Treasury borrowed during the three months that the limit is suspended.
They Blinked
New York Senator Charles Schumer said at a news conference that while Democrats would prefer a longer debt limit increase, House Republicans decision shows that the Republicans are in full-on retreat on fiscal policy.
They blinked, Schumer said. Gambling with default was never a sound plan by the Republicans.
Still, second-ranking House Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland called the measure a political gimmick that puts off the debt-limit issue for three months so House Republicans can continue to roil the Congress, roil our people and roil our country with fiscal uncertainty.
Richard Durbin of Illinois, the Senates second-ranking Democrat, said the chamber probably wont act before next week on the House measure.
Adopting a Budget
The House debt-ceiling plan is accompanied by a prod to lawmakers on the budget. It says the House and the Senate each must adopt a budget resolution for the next fiscal year by April 15. If not, the pay for members of the chamber that doesnt act will be withheld and placed in an escrow account until they adopt one -- or, at the latest, until the end of the 113th Congress.
Reid said the Senate plans to pass a budget this year.
The Obama administration said yesterday it welcomed the House measure as a de-escalation of the fiscal debate.
The debt limit has been raised periodically since its creation in 1917, with Congress increasing or revising it 79 times, including 49 times under Republican presidents, since 1960.
Enactment of the legislation could allow the Treasury to continue borrowing for several months and delay the need for a permanent increase in the debt ceiling until late summer.
Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP LLC in Jersey City, New Jersey, told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail that our very tentative estimates suggest that the Treasury might not need another permanent increase until August. Analysts at New York-based RBC Capital Markets LLC concurred, telling clients in a daily research note that under this deal the drop-dead date might slide until August.
Emergency Measures
The Treasury Department has said it expects to run out of emergency measures to prevent a breach of the current debt limit between mid-February and early March.
Investors in U.S. Treasury bonds, who most directly bear the risk of a government default, havent shown alarm. The 10- year yield fell almost two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.82 percent at 12:35 p.m. in New York today, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices.
The vote on the debt ceiling would clear the way for House Republicans to focus on the debate to replace about $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts, half of which would come from defense. Congress delayed the start date of the automatic cuts to March 1.
Republicans are prepared to let the automatic cuts go forward even if Democrats dont agree to restructure them to fall less heavily on defense, said Representative Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican.
Something Different
We hope we can negotiate something different but we would let them go ahead and happen, Cole said in an interview yesterday.
After dealing with the automatic cuts, the House is expected to take up its budget resolution and then turn to a bill to fund the government through Sept. 30, according to Representative John Fleming, a Louisiana Republican. The government is being funded through a stopgap measure that expires March 27.
Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin said earlier today that Republicans want to force a big down payment on the debt crisis during the debate on spending cuts and extending the governments borrowing authority.
We have to set our expectations accordingly and fight for those things Republicans stand for in a realistic way, Ryan the Republican vice presidential nominee last year, said at a breakfast sponsored by the Wall Street Journal. Our job as we see it is to get spending under control, to get some entitlement reforms and make sure we dont have a debt crisis, he said.

|The captain rolled his eyes "One of your's is dying and you want to sit here and chat first? Maybe you are heartless enough to work for the Vorr."
"I'll tell you about the cargo, but you've got to promise our safety and a ship home" The captain said palming a little round metalic ball - A thermal detonator! "Or I can blow us all into spacedust if we're all dead anyways!"
|The captain strolled slowly over to the main console. He pressed the button for a shipwide comm message "This is the Captain. Stand down." He paused, a little unsure if he was doing the right thing. Finally he repeated. "Stand Down."
"I opened the lock to the cargo bay for your friends. They'll find all the stolen goods in there. And then some."
The captain motioned for the technicians to put their weapons down. They did so, reluctantly. "Now, what information should I hand out first?"
