The "red dot award: product design" is a world-class award presented by Germany's Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen.

Over 4,400 different products from 1,700 different companies in 60 countries around the world were entered into competition. The Nikon D7000 camera along with other red dot winners, including three other Nikon cameras, will be exhibited at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, Germany over the 2011 summer.

The D7000 is a mid-level DX-format digital-SLR camera with a compact body and a host of advanced functions. The camera comes equipped with a DX-format CMOS sensor, the new EXPEED 2 image processing engine, a 2,016-pixel RGB metering sensor, an AF system utilizing 39 focus points, and the D-Movie function that supports the recording of full-HD movies.
