If you are really not comfortable with it's functions and use, Nikon should be announcing more expensive FX bodies on the 24th of August. In defense of the D7000, I've read pros who have sold their D3 since they seemed to get more keepers using the 3D AF tracking of the D7000.  I also sent my camera to Nikon to have the body verified for calibration and was returned back to me free of charge.  Tough call.</blockquote>
