August 22, 2011 -- TOKYO- Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce that the Nikon D7000 digital-SLR camera is the recipient of the European Advanced SLR 2011-2012 award presented by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA). In April of this year, the D7000 was also the recipient of the TIPA Awards 2011's Best D-SLR Advanced, presented by the Technical Image Press Association, as well as the "red dot award: product design 2011".

EISA comments regarding selection
"The D7000 is packed with the high-end features it inherited from the company's D300 and D300S models. The solid body offers high-speed autofocus, a bright 3-inch LCD, Integrated Dust Reduction System, dual SDXC card slots and Full HD Video. An exceptionally good noise-control system means the 16.2-million-pixel-sensor can be used at ISO 6400 and still produce high quality, clean images - even at Hi 1(ISO 12800 equivalent) noise is not much of an issue. "
