If the Nikon D7000 is such a Great Camera, Why do Nikon want to Upgrade it to the D7100?
by Jeremy Bayston
Like most camera manufacturers, Nikon have worked hard over the last couple of years to produce an array of different models to meet consumer demand at all levels of the market. They have managed to impress even whilst coping with production disruption from the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. their Nikon 1 range ( the J1, J2 and V1) have been full of ingenuity with exciting functions that allow photographers to play. At the professional end of the market, the D800 and D4 have pushed the technological boundaries.
As with most industries, it is the mid-market which offers the greatest profits and is the most competitive. The Nikon D7000 D-SLR is only a couple of years old, yet such is the pace of innovation, this high quality camera is starting to look jaded. The D7000 functionality is impressive, but there are now cheaper cameras who are ready to steal its thunder.
A 16MP file size is decent enough and was welcomed at the D7000 launch but now, as the D3200 offers 24MP and the D800 a massive 36MP, 16 seems pretty second rate. Whilst the Pro might need 1/8000 shutter speed, the rest of us will rarely want to push it beyond the more frequently available 1/4000.
Camera manufacturers also know that buyers are excited by burst speed and the D7000 is pretty good at 6FPS, but the J1 and V1 have blown all others out of the water with speeds of up to 60 FPS. Of course quality suffers, but the headline captures the imagination and sells the camera.
Again ISO is regarded as a measure of a camera. The D7000 offers a reasonable spread, from 100 to 6400, offering superb image quality with hardly any noise, even at the high end. This should satisfy nearly every requirement, but with the Nikon D4 being able to shoot in almost complete darkness (up to 204,800) the expectation will be that all Nikons will inherit the same technology.
The Video in the D7000 is full high definition and great quality. Video, of course, is a big selling point these day, with social networking sites making uploading so quick and easy. However, many cheap cameras - even compacts - offer HD and if you are going to edit your film with a song or soundtrack, that the D7000's external stereo Mic feed may seem superfluous.
So whilst the Nikon D7000 is an excellent camera in it's own right - flexible, versatile and with great image quality - it simply doesn't deliver to the headline benchmarks. the D7100 will have to be faster, offer bigger files,and wider ISO range to capture the public imagination again
