OKay, I finally bit the bullet (or is it pressed the enter key) and purchased a D7000 body. I realize that the replacement will be out sometime in the spring, but I have been wanting the D7000 for some time now and can afford it. II do not know if I will be able to afford the replacement. Also, I want to take advantage of the autofocus of some of my older AF lenses (from F4 days). I have been using my D3000 since January 2010 and do enjoy using it. I plan on keeping it and using it, also. During my film days, I was always a two camera body user, so going back to having to bodies makes me feel a little more secure.
I'm looking forward to my new acquisition!
