After a very long time by a request of a Technary Fan, we are putting up this review. People are now a days crazy about Panasonic and Cannon cameras. But Nikon is always a look to brand in the world of cameras. So we also did not forget about it. So why did we chose this camera. Well Technary only reviews quality products and this camera is also not an exception. Let us see the features of this camera.

The microphone is in mono operation mode. There are dual SD card slot. The camera has a Nikon ViewNX 2 software. While connecting to the computer it does require the MS Windows 7 and also a CD-ROM drive. The included accessories include the LCD display cover.
The Body is made up of Magnesium Alloy Material and also it is splashproof. The battery of the camera is Nikon EN-EL15. It is 1xLi-ion rechargeable battery which is included in the box. The user can use 2 SD card slots for using their SD Memory card. The Camera is 5.2 inch wide and have a depth of 3 inches. Also the height is 4.1 inch. The weight of the camera is 1.5 lbs.
The camera has a very important feature called as Image stabilizer. The Optical stabilization helps to prevent blur pictures. Even when you use high optical zoom or slow shutter speeds this camera`s image stabilizer works fine. A camera should take good pictures as expected by the user and this camera does the same. The camera is an all rounder DSLR. I do think that it is difficult for any company to provide so many quality features in the same price.
User Experience
This is Nikon`s first camera to record 1080p videos at 24fps. The camera will deliver clean photos upto ISO800. They are very good using the ISO 1,600 too. But if you go on to ISO 3,200 then I noticed that the shadows in the images were noisy. I had taken a photograph of my cousin standing alongside a tree. I liked the exposure and metering of the camera. Recently Nikon also released a firmware update which will overcome any problems.
But to be honest I had no problems as such in using the camera. The time of Power On and shoot or click the pic is almost negligible. It was splendidly fast. If you as a user like to play with auto focus, then there are many things which you can tweak in the auto focus modes. I also tried the 39 point focus, well only professional photographers will be able to bank on this feature. They know the importance of this and this camera delivers well.
Technary`s Verdict
This camera is unique in its own way. It has 2 SD card slots. Its strange too. The camera is not lightweight though. I liked the viewfinder, it is very easy to use. This is a great camera for experienced photographers which takes out amazing pictures. If you are looking out for a camera only for shooting videos then 60D will serve the cause. Nikon D7000 is a powerful camera to take awesome images. Its time to upgrade your DSLR. But it now for $1417
