D7000 - is this in the lineage of the D70/D80/D90 since they've run out of Dxx name allocations?

Assuming the pic is genuine and that the LCD screen is 3inches it looks the same size as my D90 to me. Hope so as I like the D90s handling.

Not a chance, not unless they price it more than the D300 anyway.

The card door does look like a dual slot - one sdhc and on cf I would guess.
With Nikons, I allways thought that with those type of strap eyes that use rings, they were more directed to pro users and with the ones on the D90 etc. towards amateur use so I would say a step up from the D90.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Whatever - I'm keeping my D90!

The D700 is now more than two years old so must be a good chance the performance of the D7000 is close or even better. I'm sure the previous D90 was better spec'd on such things than say the D200.
On the ISO issue it seems the D7000 has a base ISO of 100 rather than 200 of most nikons.

The D400 can't be far away then, I'd reckon that'll be announced in March....

well here's the official word:
The D7000 Offers Creative Freedom with Advanced Features Such as a New 16.2-Megapixel DX-Format CMOS Sensor, Six FPS Shooting, 39-Point AF System and 1080p HD Movie with Full Time Autofocus
MELVILLE, NY (September 15, 2010) – Nikon Inc. today introduced the new D7000 digital SLR camera designed to fulfill the needs of passionate photographers who demand exceptional performance, reliability, and unprecedented levels of control and versatility in a compact form factor. Engineered as an ideal balance of durability and functionality, the D7000 D-SLR features a multitude of new enhancements and updated Nikon technologies, which results in stunning photos and amazing full HD (High Definition) movies.
Continuing the tradition of innovative technology that began with the revolutionary D90, the first D-SLR to capture HD movie, the D7000 features a new 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor with low-light ability never before seen in a DX-format (APS-C) camera. The new EXPEED 2 TM image-processing engine fuels the enhanced performance of the D7000 along with a new 39-point AF system and groundbreaking new 2,016 pixel RGB 3D Matrix Metering System to deliver amazing image quality in a variety of shooting conditions. Additionally, the D7000 D-SLR provides full 1080p HD movie capability with full-time auto focus (AF), enabling users to capture their world with both striking still and moving images.
“The D7000 D-SLR creates a new class of Nikon camera by delivering exceptional quality, control and an innovative feature set; this is a camera that enables D-SLR users to achieve a true expression of their creative vision, while concentrating primarily on image quality above all else,” said Lisa Osorio, general manager of marketing at Nikon Inc. “When you combine the innovation of the agile D7000 with the exceptional and robust line of NIKKOR lenses and accessories, the potential for D-SLR photographers and filmmakers is limitless.”
Unparalleled Performance From Unrivaled Technologies
With its new 16.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor and Nikon’s new EXPEED 2 image processing system, the D7000 D-SLR delivers superior image quality with low noise. The EXPEED 2 image-processing engine combined with a 14-bit Analog / Digital conversion brings a new level of even tonal gradations while managing color, contrast, exposure, and noise resulting in brilliant image quality. EXPEED 2 also manages the D7000’s speedy 50-millisecond shutter response, blazing AF speed and rapid six frame-per-second (fps) burst speed for up to 100 images.
The D7000 D-SLR features an all-new 39-point AF System, which includes nine center cross-type sensors that operate with more than 60 NIKKOR lenses. The 39 points in the new Multi-CAM 4800DX AF module work together to provide superior subject acquisition and fast tracking capabilities, allowing photographers to confidently capture a player stealing third from the sideline to fast-moving wildlife. Additionally, photographers can activate dynamic or single point AF, configurable in combinations of 9, 21 or 39 or a 21-point ring to match a variety of shooting styles and situations. Photographers can activate 3D tracking, which continuously follows moving subjects within the 39 AF points, highlighting the activated AF point in the viewfinder.
Utilizing Nikon’s exclusive Scene Recognition System, the camera analyzes subject information from a database containing more than 30,000 images to optimize focus, exposure and white balance. To assist in creating amazing imagery, the Scene Recognition System reads data from a groundbreaking 2,016-pixel 3D Color Matrix Meter RGB sensor that examines the scene’s brightness and color data then optimizes the camera’s performance prior to the actual exposure. Another revolutionary Nikon first, this system interprets scene data for improved control of light metering and i-TTL flash output. Additionally this new sensor allows for a new “Ambient” white balance setting which can be activated to allow warm rendering in Automatic White Balance.
Nikon Continues the Low-Light Fight
The D7000 D-SLR continues Nikon’s tradition of providing photographers the confidence to shoot in low-light, knowing they will capture high quality low-noise images. The camera’s native ISO range of 100-6400 affords the versatility to photograph in challenging lighting conditions, such as when indoors or in the evening. The ISO range can be expanded to a Hi-2 setting of 25,600, which was previously found only in Nikon FX-format territory. The resolution of the camera renders a pixel size of 4.78 µm, which allows more light to be gathered, resulting in a correctly exposed image that has less noise and finer grain.
Full 1080p HD Movies with Advanced Video Features
Building upon the popular D90 D-SLR, the Nikon D7000 captures breathtaking full 1080p HD movies with full-time autofocus and manual exposure control. To keep critical HD focus, users can choose to engage a variety of AF functions, including face priority to track up to 35 human faces, subject-tracking and normal or wide-area autofocus.
Advanced movie features also allow exposure adjustment on the fly while recording. The D7000 D-SLR offers variable frame rates and resolutions, and can record 1080p at a cinema-like 24 fps, or a web-friendly 720p at either 24 or 30 fps for up to 20 minutes per clip. Once recorded, users are able to edit and trim video clips in the camera to save time in post production. Whether utilizing a wireless or hot shoe mounted microphone, sound can be recorded via the stereo microphone input for professional audio results.
To further simplify movie shooting, Live View is activated by a single dedicated switch, and HD video recording is achieved by pressing a single button. The D7000 D-SLR also incorporates a built-in HDMI output CEC compliant (Consumer Electronic Control) that allows users to connect it to a HDTV and playback with most HDTV remote controls.
By adding versatile NIKKOR lenses to the equation, photographers can create a variety of photo perspectives to video such as isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field, and recording in low-light conditions. Combining the D7000 D-SLR with NIKKOR lenses also delivers the sharpness essential for HD video, and Nikon’s innovative Vibration Reduction (VR) II technology helps to eliminate the effects of camera shake.
No Compromise: Enhanced Build Quality, Durability and Usability
The compact design is lightweight enough for a full days use, but has a reassuring heft that hints at Nikon’s reputation for reliability. The durable camera body consists of a magnesium-alloy top and rear covers and a 150,000 cycle-rated shutter system. Additionally, the D7000 D-SLR is dust and moisture sealed and features Nikon’s dust reduction system to remove image-degrading particles from the image sensor. Among the well laid out ergonomics, users will immediately notice a new Mode Dial that eschews traditional Scene Mode icons for more advanced manual functions and two user-defined settings (U1, **) to adapt to a users shooting style on the fly. Placed under the control wheel is a Release Mode dial, which allows access the burst modes, timer, or the Quiet Shutter, to soften the cameras operation when shooting in sensitive environments such as a ceremonies or nature.
When framing lush landscapes or tight telephoto shots from afar, users will appreciate the large, bright glass pentaprism optical viewfinder has approximately 100% frame coverage and approximately 0.94x magnification. The three-inch, 921,000-dot super-density LCD monitor with 170-degree viewing delivers bright, crisp image playback and precise Live View and movie shooting.
The D7000 D-SLR features twin SD card slots with SD, SDHC, SDXC memory card compatibility that offers several recording options including designating separate NEF (RAW) JPEG and movie files. The built-in i-TTL Speedlight flash offers coverage for lenses as wide as 16mm and has Wireless Commander support so users can choose how to light their subjects. The D7000 was designed to provide maximum performance with minimized power usage and also employs a new EN-EL15 battery which enables up to 1050 shots when fully charged.
Nikon Technologies That Empower and Inspire
The D7000 D-SLR contains many features aimed at empowering the user with creative freedom including the ability to process RAW images directly in the camera, and add in special effects using the retouch menu. Among the many editing options are color filters, distortion control for a fisheye effect, perspective control for a miniature effect, or a new color sketch filter that creates a sketch-styled image. As always, manipulated images are saved as copies while the original is retained.
The Picture Control system also allows the choice for Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, or Landscape settings to apply a personal look and feel to their pictures, and it’s versatile Scene Modes let them choose from Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Close-up or Night Portrait for stunning results even in challenging conditions.
Price and Availability
The D7000 D-SLR camera will be available throughout the United States beginning mid-October 2010 at an MSRP* of $1199.95 for body only and $1499.95 for body and lens outfit that includes the AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. For more information, please visit www.nikonusa.com.
*MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) listed only as a suggestion. Actual prices are set by dealers and are subject to change at any time.

I think it's closer to the Sony A55 than either of those.....and I'd put money on that 16.2MP CMOS sensor being a Sony one!
This seems as boring a release as Canon's recent dishwater 60D.....

I think Nikon use all Sony Sensors in their SLR's. I think this is a good release from Nikon but agree the 60D is a bit of a disappointment

Indeed. Not enough bells and whistles to replace a D300s. And the spec ain't as good, apart from the obvious sensor and full HD upgrade.
I'd welcome a shooting mode DIAL though, rather than the 'hold down a button and rotate commander' option, which I hate.

Whos the member on here that kept saying the D90 won't be replaced back in July?
In your face
I think this will be a nice replacement for my D70!
At $1200, I don't see this as a direct replacement of the D90.
Plenty of shelf life left in the D90.

Why do you think it's more similar to a55? It still is an slr with a proper mirror, isn' it?

Interesting comments on the Chase Jarvis blog:
http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2010/09/nikon-d7000/
Not too sure what to make of that to be honest. Don't know how a crop sensor can be comparable to an FX one for high ISO. But would be very happy if it did perform well at high ISO as my D80 struggles in low light at social gatherings...

Well on paper at least its not dissimilar. ISO range is 100-6400 and can be pushed to 25600. The D700 is 200-6400 pushed to 25600. Of course it remains to be seen just how it compares in the real world in terms of noise and dynamic range to the D700, D300s etc.

Well, it makes my upgrade decision a bit simpler - looks like a D90 is on the cards for me !
I could be wrong but frankly I don't have much confidence in any reviewer/blogger who claims the ISO performance of a crop sensor matches that of the best-in-class full frame one - it's just not going to happen.
As for this camera, I know little about Nikons but I presume the Nikon-Canon equivalency is now like this?
D90 - 50D
D7000 - 60D
D300S - 7D
Does look to me like this is competing with the 60D in which case, apart from the swivelling screen of the Canon, this would appear to knock the 60D into a cocked hat, or am I missing something?

Yup, it is!
But I reckon the performance (them sharing the same sensor) will be closer to to the a55.....D7000 looks like it will murder 60D (on paper anyway!), but the 7D is in a different league
I do think that D90 owners have little to worry about though, the D7000 isn't a big enough leap to convince many of them to upgrade! :shake:

A month or two from now and it'll be under a grand....I'm guessing around £900 (maybe less) by xmas!
60D has dropped by £70 already and it's only been out a fortnight!!

I was waiting to see what this was like and the price etc. before upgrading.
Think I'd just get a D90 now or if I was going to stretch to £1k I'd probably buy a D300s.
For the moment I'll just keep my current camera.

Actually sensor size is different
Sony A55 - 23.4 x 15.6
D3100/7000 - 23.1 x 15.4
I think that's correct.
The user definable modes sounds interesting, bit of a disappointment that there is yet another battery type.
