Twin SD Card Slots

Twin SD Card Slots with SD, SDHC, SDXC memory card compatibility gives you options to keep on shooting or separate your NEF (RAW), JPEG and movie files

When it comes to storage, the Nikon D7000 provides maximum reliability. The twin SD memory card slots allow for added storage capacity and give you the freedom to manage your images and video in the way you want to either by saving more of them, keeping different formats separate or always having backup space when you need it.

Like the professional Nikon D3,  you’ll get free,  live backup of everything you shoot because you can record it with two cards simultaneously.

With Nikon D7000, you can set card two as backup, when you copy card one to your laptop, you can reformat and reuse card one next time,  and then if your laptop crashed, you’ve still got backup of everything on card two.
