[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 30307, member: 3903"] I think you're jumping too fast on blaming the camera. I found that the D7000 needs taming compared with the D90. There are quite a few focus menus that you need to set before you send the camera back. Try the one point only focus (there is a button you have to press where the manual focus switch is while turning the front adjustment wheel), turn it until you only see one point in the middle. When focusing, place the object you want in focus in the focus indicator square in the viewfinder and then take the shot. You have to remember to let the focus happen while pressing the shutter half way. If you don't want to have the focussed object or person in the middle, you can change the focusing square to different areas using the (selector button) in the back. Also remember that the high pixeled sensor of the D7000 is MORE sensitive to camera shake and movement than the older D70 or 50. Make sure you either use high enough shutter speed or a solid tripod. This is the only way you can test if your camera is or not misfocusing before you send it to Nikon. I know that there were some complaints in that dept when the camera first came out, but a lot of fuss was user mishandling. Good luck and please keep us informed. [/QUOTE]
