Chase Jarvis sent me a link to this killer video shot with the new Nikon D7000. He has had the camera for some time and was cool enough to share this info with C5D. Here is a rip from the post. Thanks to the Chase Jarvis crew for hooking up this video!

Click here to check out Chase’s site for more photos, tech specs and stills.

“There’s a feature list a mile long after the jump below, but the only data I cared about heading into this can be summed up in 4 lines:

_16.2 Megapixels. (CMOS sensor, DX format, 6fps)

_1080p full HD video. (24fps)

_ISO up to 6400 (pushable to 25,600)

_Magnesium alloy construction (read “pro quality”)

When an automaker rolls a new car off the assembly line, the first thing they do is call in a professional driver to “road test” that car. They’re armed with the basic tech specs, but the drivers aren’t overly saddled with capturing data and providing computer-style analysis. In reality they don’t care about that stuff. The care how the car feels.

In the very same way, I got to “road test” the Nikon D7000. This behind the scenes video (above), this short film Benevolent Mischief I got to make with the new 1080p HD video (below), and the still photos I shot after the jump tell my story of getting to play with this cool new camera.”
