Nikon introduced a new SLR today. The Nikon D7000 slots between the existing D90 and D300s DSLR bodies. The following features are on the new camera:

• 16MP DX-format sensor with high ISO capabilities
• 100% coverage viewfinder
• Weather sealed, magnesium alloyed body
• Full 1080p video capability
• Twin SD card slots

It should arrive in stores at the end of October. A full hands-on preview is at dpreview.

Nikon unveiled two of it’s anticipated cameras today, the D300 and D3000.

The D3000 is aimed at first-time SLR users, it is similar to the D5000 but loses the foldout LCD, and gains a revamped menu system that will be a boon to beginners, but a bain to more serious photographers.

More interesting is the D300s, which adds 720p video capability to the D300 and an SD card slot. This camera is not going to be a large upgrade for existing D300 shooters, unless you’re dying to shoot video.

Nikon also refreshed two of their popular lenses, the 70-200mm F2.8 and the 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 VRII.
