[QUOTE="photophan, post: 33639, member: 7961"] I've had a D7000 for a week and yesterday I discovered a problem with the focus area setting while in autofocus. I had the camera set for single point focus and it began to randomly revert to the large area multi-point focus setting. After I would reset the focus area to single point and take several shots it would again switch to the large area setting. After having this happen several times with several different lenses I noticed that the battery was at 50% charge, so out of curiosity I put in a fresh fully charged battery and the problem magically dissappeared. I called Nikon support about this problem and, after a lengthy discussion about camera settings and firmware, they felt that this was a defect issue. After reading so many posts about focus problems on this site, as well as others, I've decided to return it to the vendor for a refund. Until Nikon sorts out this mess I'm staying away from this camera. [/QUOTE]
