[QUOTE="kratos, post: 181361, member: 15445"] I guess you must have already gone through the reviews and all the good points of this camera and I believe that since you have decided to buy a dslr, you are ready to go beyond auto mode. This is my first dslr as well. I have not tried other dslrs except canon 60D, not even d3x00 or d5x00 but I can surely say that 2 command dials and many quick setting buttons on D7000 are a charm to work with. There is one point that I specifically want to highlight from my personal experience. Since the kit lens and budget telephoto lenses do not have a large aperture, you will soon be seeking a prime lense like 50mm1.8D for low light shooting. Cameras like D3x00 or D5x00 do not have built in motor so you will have to go for prime G lenses which are significantly costlier than the D lense. So the D7000 will save you some bucks at least in these cases and make its extra price over D5x00 justified. [/QUOTE]
