Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am planning to buy a Nikon D7000 very soon. I have tested one of my friend's piece recently an impressed with the performance. But when I have done a bit if research many of the users are complaint about the back focussing issue. I woul like to get a genuine feedback from all of you regarding the same.

Thanks,
arjun

I don't think my vision is good enough to see if there was a problem. But I know the D7000 has the capabilities to 'micro' adjust the focusing on it, if that helps you any. I haven't messed with it yet, but it's there if I want or need to.

You can peruse my links in my signature, all the photos there are taken with a D7000. ('cept the obvious cell phone pics.)

Ok, just looked it up. The proper term is "AF Fine Tune" You can keep a table of up to 12 lenses that you've fine tuned. You can push the focus forwards or backwards up to 20 increments in either direction.

Hope that helps!

Long discussion on the topic here just a few days ago. It's not an "issue" if the camera can be adjusted for it. The complaint is more that with many cameras you don't have to. Once you fine tune each lens it's a non-issue.

Thanks for the link, and the links inside that link. Don't know how I missed that.

Now I have something to do tomorrow!

dead on backdoorhippie ..its not an issue at all but an adjustment that was not available a few years back.It just compensates for production tolerances in the camera and lens combination.
You only need to photograph an extending tape measure set at 45 deg to the camera axis at full aperture and view the results to see if the adjustment is ok. use AF-S mode
if it is the centre (say24 in mark you focused on ) will be right in focus. If its out the 22 or 26 might be pin sharp and then you need to adjust.
