[QUOTE="Kamper, post: 10988, member: 3754"] I have been shooting the D7000 since November 2 and really enjoy the features. I upgraded from a D80 which I have used for close to 4 years, and the more pro features have been very welcomed. The biggest advantages I can see is the 6fps, the higher ISO ability, the CMOS sensor, the auto tracking features, live view and the video option, but to be very frank, I am still learning about the video and I think it is a nice option, but not really sure if I will use it that much. One word of caution I would like to express about considering buying the D7000 as a first DSLR camera, DSLR photography has a steep learning curve and for some it will take years to master the features of a camera body, if the camera is too advanced the person could find the whole process too intimidating and not really even touch anywhere close to the user ability of the unit, might even find it uncomfortable to use and give up. It would be nice if I could have bought a D3S as my first body and been done with it, but like I say it would have been too intimidating for me, not to mention the cost issue.
