    New firmware?

    I read today that there is a new firmware for quite a few cameras that corrects barreling and some other things. Anyone confirm this.

    Why did you choose Nikon?

    I am a former Canon guy, I had a 50D and although I couldn't afford L glass I was able to borrow some from a friend when we shot a couple of weddings together. I was never truly happy with my image quality. Having owned my D7000 for less than a month I am truly amazed at what I can accomplish...

    Today at a birthday party for my nephew I blasted off 375 photos and lots of video. This thing is a true workhorse. So happy I switched to Nikon.

    Low light question

    Is it normal for a lens to hunt in low light with focus assist beam on? I know a lens will hunt in direct sunlight but I wasn't sure about the low light.

    Official Nikon grip ordered today

    So I finally made the decision to buy the factory Nikon battery grip today. Amazon also has the D7000 batteries back in stock so I bought one as well. Was this a good purchase or could I have safely used an aftermarket grip?

    Anyone else hang around with their camera?

    Ever since I bought this camera I take it everywhere and even place it next to me when I'm sitting on the couch so I can stare at it. Anyone else take part in this gadget obsession?

    How to tell if I have a good working model

    It's here and it's wonderful

    Just received my D7000 and it is such a fantastic camera. Great weight and great photos. Just for haha's I printed the focus test sheet online and tried it out to see if there was and front and back focus issues and seems all is well. Going to bed a happy man tonight.

    Aftermarket battery grip

    Can anyone recommend a great aftermarket grip for the D7000 or should I just wait and get the factory one? I've read some reviews that the Meike grips tray falls out and the the contacts cause the camera to start operating abnormally. Thanks

    Finally Purchased my D7000 Today!!!

    After weeks of trying to decide what camera I wanted to purchase, I finally pulled the trigger on this fine camera body. It offers everything I wanted. I was hesitant at first because of the "focusing issues" but I can go in camera to try and rectify this.

    D7000 overall.

    I am getting ready to purchase this camera. I've been trolling this site for a while and decided to join. I've left Canon for this purchase. As a whole, given the focusing issues and v1.03 firmware, oil on the sensor and whatever ghost issues plague certain bodies, would you still consider this...
