[QUOTE="JoeLewisPhotography, post: 36788, member: 3571"] That is precisely why I said, the D300s isn't designed for the beginner, where as the D7000 is more beginner friendly, HOWEVER, as you grow and advance and look for more "pro" features in a camera, the D7000 will come up a bit short. Regarding #11, one of the BIGGEST reasons I love my D300s is the Qual, WB, ISO, AF area and metering buttons at my finger tips...If you have only gone into your menu's only twice in a year, you are most likely not shooting in Manual. I ONLY shoot manual, and constantly change and adapt my settings according to the scene and what my needs are at that moment. This is a BIG deal for manual shooters. It all comes down to personal opinions, what YOU want to photograph, and how serious YOU want to get with it. You asked for differences, and we gave them. I think the D7000 is the smarter choice for the OP. Its a fantastic camera, however, Not fantastic enough for ME to choose over my D300s. [/QUOTE]
