[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 14171, member: 3903"] If you do travel the D7000 is lighter and smaller. This is one thing that had my choice eased out in favor of the D7000. I do cycling trips and the weight (or lack of) is important for me. IQ wise, the D700 is probably better, but it is being phased out or there are speculation about it. If the replacement is much better, you might regret your choice. Or you might want to wait for the new model to how up so the present D700 comes down in price. But as far as I'm concerned, the image quality of the D7000 I find very good. I've had sharper images with this camera than I had with the Hasselblad. Plus, the control of digital with contrast and saturation. If this is your first DSLR, plan some time to learn the digital processing programs (photoshop, lightroom or Aperture). Spend some time in the shops and play around with both models with your own memory card. Go back home and see what the results are with both models. It should help you make a wiser decision. Both are great cameras, but at some point money rules. Marcel [/QUOTE]
