I have now had my D7000 since November of 2010. It has gone with me to Whistler and Vancouver to shoot mountain landscapes and the World Bob Sled Championships. It went to Guatemala for 14 days where we did 4000 pictures of one of the most beautiful countries on this earth. The only thing that was more beautiful than the magnificent sights of Guatemala was the spirit of a magnificent people. The camera made it to the Bahamas, Jamaica, and has been used all over the southern USA. I have shot two seasons of softball at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, and taken thousands of shots out in the parks for our youth leagues.
This week I realized how lucky I am to have a D7000. My daughter and a few of her friends are in Guatemala again. I didn't go, so my camera stayed behind. A few months prior to them leaving one of my daughter's friends did buy a D5100 and I have yet to see the results from that camera. The pictures being Emailed home every night do allow me to feel like I'm on the trip with my daughter, but the quality of the pictures from her and all of her friends are just lacking. To be fair to the other companies I'm not going to mention the brands of the cameras on this trip, but I'm realizing that I'm just one lucky guy to have this beautiful D7000.
My D7000 and a few lenses will be making a trip to Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island of Hawaii, in a few weeks. My brother just bought the same set-up that I have. I'm looking forward to taking in, and shooting, the magnificent sights of a few of my very favorite places on Earth.
In conclusion......those of us that own the D7000 are very lucky people!
