As reported from NikonRumors, the key area which has been addressed on the D7000 is bright spots, more commonly known as ‘hot pixels’. This occurs when pixels remain on the LCD screen when they shouldn’t and are a huge cause of considerable frustration amongst avid snappers.

The good news, is that Nikon has ‘reduced’ the likehood of users experiencing bright spots on the D7000, but at the same time, the problem hasn’t been completely eliminated. Here is what Nikon states in their update notes:

”Bright spots were sometimes noticeable with live view mode or movie recording of especially dark scenes or subjects. Occurrence of this issue has been reduced.”

You can download v1.01 over at the Nikon support website here. For those of you who own a D7000 let us know if you have experienced any hot pixels on your device, and how serious a problem you think it is.

Janice Chen of Zdnet is reporting that although all three cameras are priced reasonably close together the Nikon D7000 easily beats the three year old E-3, and also gives the 60D a run for its money. The new Nikon can’t match the 60D for video recording, but offers manual exposure control and continuous autofocus while shooting video.

The body of the D7000 is compact but a sturdy design, and is also like the E-3 in being dustproof and splash proof. The Nikon also has slots for two memory cards, where SD/SDHC/SDXC can be used. The Canon has the nice articulating LCD offering more flexibility when framing shots, but the Nikons optical viewfinder is superior to the 60D offering.

Richard Lai of Engadget is reporting that the 16.2 megapixel beast is aimed at the “social photographer” market. Engadget managed to get hold of an example to give it the once over, and mention it looks quite similar to the D90 but not as light. The continuous shooting button has been transformed into a secondary dial to the left of the unit.

Like the D3100 there is a new live view switch and video record button, which is preferred to the set up on the old D90. One of the best features is the EXPEED 2 image processor allowing for a much improved AF speed.

According to Devicemag the D7000 will be available from mid October in the US and will set you back $1199.95 for body only, and $1499.95. See below for the video of the D7000, and click here for a detailed review.
