[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 16015, member: 1061"] I said it came out a few months after [B]I got[/B] my D90...not after the D90 was released. I joined here in July of 2010, and I believe I purchased my D90 in May. The D7000 is a "filler" camera that bridges the gap between the high level consumer model (D90) and the low level pro camera (D300s). For the $300 price difference, it didn't offer much over the D90, so I didn't pay much attention to what all the D7000 offers. I handled it, made a few shots, and put it back. In my opinion, the D7000 was made for those who simply must have the latest gear, as that particular end of the Nikon brand hadn't seen an update in awhile. The resident Nikon guru at the camera store shared the same opinion. My comparison above was for the D90 vs. the D300s, as I considered the D7000 a non-factor in my decision...with the exception of the AF points, I didn't know the D7000 had 39 instead of 11. For the purpose of discussion: I consider dual SD cards to actually be a drawback. While CF is an older format, it still has notably faster write speeds than SD. [/QUOTE]
