[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 15995, member: 1061"] I did check out the D7000. It came out just a few months after I got my D90, and haven't had an opportunity to get my hands on one until yesterday. I must say that I didn't really care for it. I'm glad it was there though, because it made the decision to upgrade to the D300s that much easier. Really, the D7000 is about the same as the D90 only with better HD video...which isn't useful to me. There are a few other added features, but not really anything I couldn't live without. What sold me on the D300s: [LIST] [*]51 autofocus points vs. 11 in the D90 and D7000 [*]No more auto shooting modes [*]Dual memory card slots [*]Higher FPS [*]Better construction [*]Huge overall AF upgrades (speed/options/bigger motor) [*]Better matrix metering [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
