Nikon Announces New D7000, 35mm f/1.4 and 200mm f/2

Today, Nikon announced the D7000, successor to the much-loved Nikon D90. Additionally, they are proud to say that their f/1.4 lineup of primes is now complete with the 35mm f/1.4 and that they’ve released a new 200mm f/2 lens. Lastly, the SB-700 flash now replaces the SB-600. Specs, details and my notes from the meeting with Nikon are after the jump.

Editor’s note: Nikon updated the press release to remove this sentence- “Both of these lenses will be available in October”.
