The Nikon D7000 is a 16.2 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) model announced by Nikon on September 15, 2010. It is a new class of camera placed between the semi-professional D300S and the 'prosumer' D90.[2][3][4][5] It completes Nikon's new consumer range of the D3100, D5000, and now Nikon D7000.

The D7000 offers numerous professional-style features over the D90, such as magnesium alloy body construction, weather and moisture sealing, a 2,016-segment color exposure meter, built-in timed interval exposure features, 39 rather than 11 focus points, dual SD memory card slots, virtual horizon (in live view and viewfinder) and compatibility with older autofocus and manual-focus AI and AI-S Nikon F-mount lenses (including three-segment viewfinder manual focus indication). At introduction the only Nikon DSLR with higher sensor resolution than the D7000 was the 24-megapixel Nikon D3X.
