  • Love this camera, but i here that the lens is junk? your thought?

  • @ChauvetteProductions - I don't have any complaints with the kit lens. I'm not a professional so it serves my purposes just fine.

  • NEW DISCOUNT is.gd\7QCPko

  • good video!

  • I hear this is the camera to have over the D90. Nice. So how do you feel about the D5100? D5100 or D90? 

  • @GlockNinja - The D7000 is the successor to the D90. The D90 is geared more towards photography with the ability to record 720p video. The 5100 won't have all of the advanced features of the D90 or D7000 (when it comes to photos) but it does record 1080p video and have an LCD that swivels and rotates.

  • @IridiumVIII yeah..a big selling point is the rotating and swivel LCD display and 1080p video. Looks like I'll be getting the D5100 when the time comes. Unless I see something better. I still have the Panasonic GH2 in mind if I can find it cheap. I like the Leica lens. I recently looked at a group picture with over 50 people sitting in a theater taken with a D90 and I could see every face in the picture clear. Nice.

  • Good video man. Good dslr too. Got one myself. Peace.

  • niggerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrr!

  • Beautiful camera. I'm doing my research on other models and brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony and Olympus) before buying a new one.

  • @Hedll - Yes it is. I think it looks even better with the battery grip attached. Researching what you want is the best thing you can do. Especially when you're getting ready to put down a lot of cash for it -

  • @Hedll - Yes it is. I think it looks even better with the battery grip attached. Researching what you want is the best thing you can do. Especially when you're getting ready to put down a lot of cash for it -

  • @IridiumVIII Thanks man. I'm going to Japan next summer and I need a serious upgrade.

  • bro control ur urge to box it during unboxing...lol

  • Hi what manfrotto model was that tripod and how much was it? Thanks!

  • @ukttom16uk - That is a Manfrotto Modo 785B tripod

  • thumbs up with you love the whole unboxing thing!

  • @dookiekong007 - Thanks! Feedback always welcome

  • Hi, this was a very usefull video. I was able to see all the details I wanted. Thank you

  • @butnaraski - Thanks for the feedback

  • Hi,very good vid ! What cam did U film it with ? Thank U !

  • Sexy Camera!

  • Really nice video. Will the 18-105 lens be ok for everyday use, as well as portraits, and studio use? The last SLR I had was the Canon AE1. My favorite lens was the 50mm, cause it too great portraits. I used the 35mm for everyday use. Then I used my 28-300mm telephoto/macro lens for taking nature shots. Any recommendations on which lens is the best? My main purpose will be studio shots. THANKS!!!

  • @Jenny1954 - The 18-105 lens is great for everyday use and it's the lens I use 85% of the time. It's above average for portraits and studio use. When I want that clarity, detail and sharpness I use the 35mm Nikkor. Thanks for the feedback -

  • Superb job for making this video man! Did you get any lens for it yet?

  • @biozastron - Thanks for the feedback and I did get another lens. I picked up a Nikon/Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G not that long ago (I have an unboxing video of that as well). After using the 35mm for a day I decided that I'd never bother with a point and shoot camera unless I absolutely had to. =) I also have a unboxing video of the MB-D11 battery grip for the D7000 uploaded too. Thanks again for the feedback!

  • You're the first American I've heard that pronounced Nikon right!!!! I LOVE YOU for that :D

  • @bigmacblue - Haha!! I get told that all the time -

  • Comment removed

  • im sorry but im a noob...

    what is HDMI output slot for?

  • @claireglory - Video playback on your HDTV. The D7000 also captures Full 1080p HD video. Also, in some cases you can hook the D7000 up to a larger external display that can be used to monitor subject(s) and or composition(s).

  • Nice video. May have just made up my mind of what camera to buy because of this, thankyou!

  • Nice camera. For me I got a Canon 7D but the D7000 was the other choice. I was looking for something a little more nice without so many bells and whistles and on a more profesional level so I went with the 7D.

  • @krazy4baja - For me, photography is more of a hobby. During the time I was researching cameras - 7D camera and lens kits were in the $1800-$1900 price range. I have the D7000, the kit lens, a 35mm Nikkor lens, the Nikon MB-D11 battery grip, an extra Nikon EN-EL15 battery and a Nikon MC-DC2 remote release. All totaled out to a hair under $1970. A similar Canon 7D set up would be at $2500. The 7D is a nice camera though.

  • Lord,that is a nice camera,I might delay retiring to finance buying one of these.....

  • @Zorack10 - Haha! Do it

  • that is a BIG camera compared to my d3100 haha. i will get one of these one day... once i get a job =)

  • @UnemployedZebra - Yes it is. This was an upgrade from my D3000 -

  • That's a lot of goods stuffed into that box after the manuals. Audio cables, usb cable, battery, quick charger, strap. I was thinking he was going to pull out a jelly donut and the on-screen caption would say "donut break".

  • I am from Asia..its called Nick-on

  • i want that camera soo bad!!!!:(

  • You do know its pronounced NY-CON not NICKON.

  • @braedon218 - You do know that only westerners (USA/CANADA/MEXICO) pronounce it NY-CON. The rest of the world including Japan - where Nikon is headquartered pronounce it NICK-on. Now you can stop butchering the correct pronunciation.

  • @braedon218 I'm from Denmark, we pronounce it NIC-on, just as Iridium told you.

  • @braedon218 Just look at your spelling Nikon is not spelled Nycon that u will call in that way!

  • Thanks....good video....

  • @guitarmania007 - Thanks! Appreciate feedback -

  • Hi, i wanna know your opinion for the oil on sensor D7000 Problem...?...Should i buy the D7000 despite this problem or is better to buy some else camera? thanks (sorry for bad english)

  • @denisdf - I can't really comment on the oil on sensor problem with the D7000 because I haven't personally experienced it yet. I can't find any conclusive data or information pointing to a specific manufacturing date and or batch of cameras affected by this. A lot of people are posting pictures of the oil spots but nobody putting up important information like country, date of purchase, manufacture date or serial numbers. items you need to make informed decisions -

  • @denisdf I have a D7000 with over 17,000 pictures taken with it. Camera has seen a lot of abuse also from time to time, beside the deep scratches, its still working like the day i first started using it. no sensor problems. As for memory card u need to buy fast cards with speed like class (10).

  • ummm..... is it pronounced NY-CON or NICK-on?

  • @samz10100 - NICK-on

  • @IridiumVIII

    FAIL.

  • @bamas10 - If by FAIL you mean 40,000+ views with revenue sharing - you'd be correct. I'll be FAILing all the way to the bank. Thanks for the view!!

  • @samz10100 - NICK-on. The way the Japanese pronounce it -

  • @samz10100 NICKON in ASIA

  • @MrSillybilly20 - Thanks

  • hi, which memory card do you recommend for D7000?

  • @denisdf - Nikon approved the following for use with the D7000. SanDisk, Toshiba, Panasonic, Lexar Platinum II and Professional brand SDHC cards up to 32GB. SanDisk, Toshiba and Panasonic brand SDXC cards up to 64GB. Right now, I'm using (2) Lexar Professional SDHC cards - 16GB for photos and 32GB for HD video.

  • Hope I get that soon!

  • Loved your video - great style: not too much yap, good video skills and you you know how to pronounce Nikon! Perhaps you could talk to the guys at B&H who insisted on constantly correcting me when I was in NY earlier this year!

  • @Lesmo1 - Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and it drives me nut when people don't pronounce Nikon correctly too. i can't really knock B&H because they've gotten me out of some tight jams on a few occasions - LoL!! Check back soon for my review of the Black Rapid Sport camera strap.

  • You know, I really must take my hat off to you. when I got my d7000, my heart was pounding and you are really calm when u unbox it!!!

  • @johnsausage0605 - I had to keep it professional - LoL!!

  • hi bro, will i regret after buying this nikon d7000

    because i just want sharp quality images

    i am not interested in shooting vids

  • @shadalala - If you get a proper lens to go with the D7000 you will not be disappointed. Being able to capture a just as sharp video image with the same camera is the icing on the cake - so to speak.

  • @shadalala If you want sharp images you need to invest in lenses. The 18-55mm and the 18-105mm that comes with the cameras are good but not very sharp, between these 2 lenses the 18-55 is much sharper. but the 18-105 is an all rounder lens. meaning its the lens that you will rarely take off unless u are shooting micro or extreme zooms

  • Finally! An american that says Nikon the english way..

  • @xPvtVicz - You caught that? =] It is the proper way to say it -

  • Very nice video. Best unboxing of the D7000 on here.

    Great camera, but my only gripe is Nikon not building the GPS feature into the camera itself.

    Enjoy the camera!

  • @arm089 there's no doubt that our difference concerning what appears semi professional and professional is little these days. d7000 is all many of us want. visit... freedslr . cong change cong with com and try to get a way to bring home a Brand New Nikon D7000

  • very nice unboxing. no stupid sounds and talking. thanks!

  • @dannyIAD - Got a lot of positive feedback in regards to minimal dialogue. Thanks!!

  • Lotion Them Knuckles!

  • hey did that screen protector on the LCD come with the body?

  • @RadicalFiction - Yes. That comes factory installed.

  • it's always exciting to watch people unbox their cam i

  • Hallo..is it possible that the DK 5 Eye Piece Cap and the MH 25 Quick Charger Cord are not in the box? (for the optional quick charger i do not wonder of course, as it is optional..)

  • well done!!!

  • I am a canon man but god I want a d7000!! Also nice 785b manfrotto tripod!

  • why do people make unboxing vids?? lol 2 brag and make those of us who dont have one jealous perhaps?

  • @LoQuita1184 - To satisfy people's curiosity? To generate views and ad revenue in terms of Google partnership[s]? To give the public a first look in some instances? Those reasons plus the ones you mentioned are probably just a few of the motivating factors in posting them. I suppose the real question might be - why do people actively seek them out on youtube?

  • @IridiumVIII ok yes I'm Guilty..I clicked on the video n saw it!

    ok geez ...lol =)

    (j/k)

  • @LoQuita1184 - LoL! We're all guilty. For the record - I wasn't trying to brag. A few of the subscribers I'm cool with made the request =] Thanks for commenting.

  • @LoQuita1184 that is the most stupidest question you idiot.

  • Where's HMDI cable?

  • YOU lucky BASTARD !!!!

  • kinda creepy when you put it on the tripod and start turning it around...looks like the camera has a mind of it's own and turns into " virtual 360 psycho camera" ... don't believe me? shut off the lights and start watching at 5:25 ... creepy.

  • to the point and perfect unboxing. This is how it must be done. no much chit chat and crap talk!! liked it

  • @badrinathknair - Thanks!

  • Best unboxing video I've seen yet. You kept it simple, and that was nice.

  • @evanregisterphoto - Thanks!!

  • Nice video post, thank-you for the information.

  • @villavillacola1111 - Thanks! I appreciate the feedback

  • @GasparEdwin - I was able to get it a day before the official release at a Best Buy in my area.

  • @GasparEdwin - D7000 + Lens Kit is $1499.99 USD. Purchase price for the D7000 body only is roughly $1100.00 USD

  • ok iridium, you got all the gear, now we wanna see if you have any idea, show us some pics with this camera dude, do you have a flickr account?

  • @atyl1972 - I don't have a flickr account & I use Sony Vegas Pro9 which murders still images when incorporating them in to video. So I don't really have a means to properly showcase the still image quality. I'll also be the first to tell you that I'm hardly a pro when it comes to photography. It's more of an interest / hobby that I picked up from my dad. Hopefully I have something figured out to showcase this camera in the coming days - heading to the New York International Motorcycle Show.

  • @IridiumVIII ok cool, nice camera though but i have seen mixed reviews about the placement of buttons etc, i'm really unsure about the camera, god man i'm the most indecisive person ever,lol

  • @atyl1972 - I think that I caught a break with mines. I didn't have any of the hot pixel issues that some people were reporting. By the way, Nikon recently released a firmware update to address that issue. Button placement is similar to my old D3000 so it was a fairly smooth transition for me. However, I will admit that the lock switch used to enable/adjust "burst mode" shooting wasn't the brightest idea since you basically have to you use 2 hands to enable it.

  • @atyl1972 - I can relate on being indecisive. I spent about 2 weeks debating between the D7000 and Canon 60D. Two of the majors points that convinced me to go with the D7000 were - 1. I was already familiar with the Nikon camera menu system. 2. I came across a D7000 preview video by an avid Canon user and he even admitted that he wanted to get a D7000 because of it's specs when compared to the 60D. That was enough to convince me.

  • @IridiumVIII hey dude, just literally ordered the d7000 with the tokina 12-24 II lens and the battery grip which makes it look beast and i guess feel beast too as i found the camera body grip a tad smaller than i prefer but after seeing a vid on youtube with a guy unboxing the grip then adding it to the d7000 it totally convinced me, thanks for your vid also man

  • @atyl1972 - Congrats!! I'm looking at getting the battery grip later on this year as well.

  • @atyl1972 - How could I have forgotten the other deciding factor? Number 3 - dual SD card slots. One for JPEG, one for RAW or one for backup or overflow or one for video. Those are a couple of the options available -

  • @IridiumVIII if you want ur still images to look HD with no loss nothing and size of video that does not go above a few megs only... get Ulead media studio pro version 8 not the new version. u will be surprise at the quality of your video and underr 20mb file size and takes less then normal viewing time to make it.......God i love torrents

  • does it have a built in mic?

  • @thermosinthesis - Yes it does but if you're looking to do some serious recording you'll want to get and use an external microphone because the internal mic picks up the auto-focus motor noise.

  • I BET IT LOOKS PRETTY SWEET WITH THE LENS HOOD ON

  • I was looking at the Canon 7D... Loving the video on it!

    I heard a lot if issues with d7000 video.

  • Nice job, thanks.....replacing my D300 with a D7000. It will be here on Dec 20th, then my D300 goes to lifepixel to be converted to IR.

  • well done man you pronounced it right! NIKON!!

  • hey its arseneo hall

  • you need to work on your nails

  • Nice unboxing. Just wish this DSLR was a little bigger.

  • It's so beautiful... only $1500 that I don't have hahah :(

  • @KneeGuardPlease That's with the lens though. Cut that out and it's within reach, well, closer.

  • hi, i have tried to order the D7000with the 18-105, but it is unavaiable, is it all right if the but the body and lense separate of the 18-105, are they exactly same

    xxxx

  • what kind of set up do you have going on there on your desktop, do you edit videos too?

  • Can you recommend this camera to a beginner like me? I'd like to upgrade my compact camera to something great!

  • @bockenrecords - The D7000 is a monster. It can really be overwhelming for the casual shooter. That being said - if you're serious about photography and if you have the cash and you can find one, I'd say go for it. If you're only going to be using it casually then I'd say it might be better for you to go with getting the D3100. You're still going to great photos with it BUT it'll be easier for you to use when compared to the D7000 which has a ton controls and menus.

  • @IridiumVIII Thanks for the reply. I'd like to become a professional photographer and I usually don't have any problems to learn new technical features and I do have the time to learn taking great photos. My local shop will have it in stock in December. It seems that you are very satisfied with your camera and I do appreciate reviews and comments from real users! Thanks for this great unboxing video btw :)

  • @IridiumVIII

    You know... I really want to get the d3100, but I do want to get it with a Wide Angle lens (I really enjoy landscape photography). But all the wide angle lense, are outrageously expensive.... Could you give me an idea on how I can get a wide angle lens?

  • @IridiumVIII My friend who is a beginner did get the d7000! She is bragging about it. She loves it and she is a beginner. She has no clue about photography! She loves your video!

    Great video by the way! Now, she is bragging about her camera. I am still feeling the 7D...

  • @IridiumVIII What sucks with the d3100 is that has no in-body autofocus...

  • @bockenrecords If you are going from a compact point and shoot. I might also suggest a micro 4/3 camera such as the olympus EPL-1. Dslr quality with the simplicity of a compact. Pretty cool camera (I got one) But if not the D3100 is pretty awesome also. (or Canon's entry lvl 550D)

  • @bockenrecords start with a camera like the sony nex5, this would be perfect for you as its the next step up from compacts that still manages to take awesome quality shots that are very very very close to being dslr quality and also has the ease of use, google it or better still youtube it, its a cracking looking camera too

  • How many LCD screens do you have.....?????

  • @danlovesayu - I have four all together.

  • I ordered mine, just can't wait!

  • @Thomnasty - Prepare to be amazed!! =]

  • @IridiumVIII I got it todaaaaaay!! soo psyched!! :D:D

  • @IridiumVIII hi, I ordered the body, cuz I had a nikkor dx 18-55 lens left, I'm now buying an extra lens, do you think it'd be wise to buy the lens that came with yours? ty!

  • @Thomnasty - Congrats on getting yours - I hear they're still hard to come by. The lens that comes with the D7000 kit is a good lens. It sort of falls in the area of being slightly above average but not high end. The focus is quick and sharp and it makes for a good all around lens.

  • @IridiumVIII It is, still only 420 in Belgium ;) and I'm one of them!

    but I have one question.. when I record vids, and I plug in any headset, I've got A LOT of noise/murmur.. You don't happen to know how to fix this?

    Thnaks!

  • i just got this yesterday :D loving it

  • @takkitackey - Congrats!!

  • come on man...I'm waiting for a review vid on this camera. Lets kick out dude....come on....get a move on. lol :P

  • Its almost better stepping up and buying the D300s for $150 more.

  • Wow great job dude.. I am in Singapore looking to get one of these babies asap, may be when I am in the US next, it is less expensive there with US$ doing downhill against most currencies

  • I will also get it soon. But it they won't be selling it before mid-november here. Nikon found some issues, so they stopped selling them now for a while; that's what the man at my local camera store said.

    Btw very nice review, best I have seen so far for this camera. I subscribed, please do more videos about this DSLR!

  • lol blitz, same here, also really nice vid...you deserve more views

  • @SupaGreenCat - Thanks! Appreciate the support

  • im saving up for my first DSLR, and i will buy this!

  • @blitzburghscorer - Get It!!!

  • I cannot wait to get one! :D

    Thanks for sharing! :D:D

  • @shouldyray - No problem and thanks for checking out my video.

  • This is one of the best unboxings I've seen. I like the text describing the items unboxed, the 360 view and port view.

  • @oksydzen - Thanks! Everyone seems to like this style, so I'll be sticking with it going forward.

  • Hey, nice video. Well, as you have used Nikon D7000, do you think its worth its price or is it better to stick to D90 ?

  • @sidlawyer2008 - Appreciate the comment. To be honest though I could only give you an best guess. I'm coming from owning a D3000 so the transition for me was like a quantum leap in terms of controls, options and options. The D7000 made me realize how well put together the D3000 as far ease of use for the 1st time DSLR shooter. To sort of answer your question. It's worthy upgrade especially if you shoot a lot

  • @IridiumVIII Thanks dude. I can understand the difference between a D3000 and D7000. However, I read somewhere that D7000 has serious issues with the sharpness of images. Plus its U1-U2 mode - As I read constantly on a website that Nikon has had issues with the settings recall options and U1-U2 was to make up for that.

    How well do you think these two points are covered since you can give a first hand information ?

  • @sidlawyer2008 - Wow!! Thanks for the heads up!! I haven't had much time to really explore the D7000 because we've been painting and installing new lighting in our home. I'll take the D7000 out today and see what I can find. Anything specific you want me to look in to?

  • @IridiumVIII I was mainly concerned about these two things but I had also read a doubt of someone that it has a new White Balance mode named "Ambient" which MIGHT lead to turning tungsten into ORANGE rather than a WHITE. If you can have an eye for that as well.

    I like the camera, no doubt, but since it is substantially costlier than a D90, if it doesn't justify its mark, I would rather stick to D90 which is a good one at the same.

    Waiting for your review.

  • @sidlawyer2008 Sharpness issues has something to do with the low grade kit lens

  • @NixxerJixxerWixxer Thanks Nixxer

  • @sidlawyer2008 the sharpness issues can be resolved by shooting at a higher iso. also, some people were complaining that the images were blurry through the viewfinder, and most people neglect to adjust the eyepiece focal adjustment (the adjustment for people with glasses) which solved it. i held a d7000 and immediately i saw that it was blurry through the viewfinder, but upon adjusting the dial it cleared up immediately.

  • @thatpeskysurfer Thanks surfer

  • Very Nice, time to sell my D90 :)

  • Comment removed

  • Nice camera!

  • Really great unboxing my friend enjoy your camera !

  • Thanks for the advice on purchasing SD cards!

  • Enjoy it :)

  • I really liked this unboxing. Having the silent unboxing with notes was really nice, i could concentrate on the product itself. Too many people just sit there and jabber on about the product and makes it hard to actually concentrate on it.
