Editor's Review
The D7000 is Nikon's latest enthusiast dSLR, occupying the spot in their dSLR lineup between the D90 and D300s models. It's packed with a 16.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor, a wide ISO range, 6 frames per second burst mode, and an excellent 3D Color Matrix exposure sensor. Image quality is among the best on the APS-C market, a tad better than the Canon 60D and about equal to the Pentax K-5. Other welcome additions include a dual SD card slot and a 100% viewfinder, both features normally found on much more expensive dSLRs.
Canon’s 60D is the D7000’s closest competitor, with the photo/video balance leaning more toward photo for the D7000 and video for the 60D. That's not to say that the D7000 is a slouch for video -- it still shoots 1080p video with continuous autofocus -- but the button-and-dial-heavy interface and 39-point autofocus system seem to be aimed squarely at photography enthusiasts. It's a powerful camera by consumer standards, a little sparse for semi-pros, but looks like a great balance for the photography buffs and enthusiasts. Reviews have been favorable so far, and retailers have been having a tough time keeping this thing in stock – though that may have just as much to do with supply side as the demand side. If you're a Nikon enthusiast, you're probably going to love this thing.

pros and cons of Nikon D5100 & D7000 (Susan Anderson — 04/30/2012)
I am purchasing my first dslr and have narrowed to Nikon D5100 and D7000. My interest is landscape and fine art photography. Since its my first, I want to avoid the mistake of buying a camera I'll quickly out grow. Also, what accessories are important to have upfront?

Either would serve you well, the main difference being the D7000's better build quality, dual control dials, better autofocus, and larger viewfinder. Image quality is the same for the two, so it really isn't a matter of "outgrowing" the camera. Upfront, I'd recommend purchasing an extra battery and a second lens (you save money on the second when buying as a kit).

depth of field (guy quesnel — 07/14/2011)
how about depth of field control and quality

Liam McCabe (07/14/2011)
Well, it uses an APS-C sensor, which is fairly large, certainly big enough to create a shallow depth of field effect. You won't have as much control as with a full-frame sensor -- like the D700, for example -- but still very easily able to separate the foreground and background. Depends a lot on what lens you use too.
