[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 48106, member: 6351"] While I do sympathize with those that have *legitimate* issues, I guess for a more balanced point of view, perhaps the D7000 owners that don't have focusing issues should post here too. I do have a problem with new members joining simply to complain about these so-called problems. This thread has attracted new members who's first and only posts seem to be in this thread - in some forums that's considered trolling. Another thing I don't like in this thread is when DWPhotos (Dave) took some of his valuable time to try to assist another user with their D7000 "problem". That person didn't thank Dave once for his trouble - just condescended the entire time. Frankly I've read hundreds of these so-called D7000 focus problems and the vast majority of them are user error - period. It's human nature to blame the tool and not look in the mirror. I'm not saying - I repeat - I'm not saying that there aren't legitimate problems but I refuse to believe that everyone that comes to this thread has one. I bought one of the very first D7000s that were produced and shipped to Canada - in fact is was the first one distributed by Henrys in Toronto. You know the first batch that's supposed to have all those focusing problems? Well guess what? I thought I had focusing problems when I first got it back in Oct. of 2010 but since I was coming from the idiot proof D40 I didn't realize how steep the learning curve would be with this highly advanced camera. Super high pixel densities demanded a much better hand holding technique and constantly higher shutter speeds along with a properly set-up shooting menu. Well lo and behold the focusing problems "magically" disappeared when I practiced, practiced, practiced! Amazing. I really think most of the people should have bought a more entry level camera instead of buying the one that they could afford at the higher end. They would have been much happier - and so would most camera forums. I hope the silent majority (i.e. those D7000 owners without focusing problems) will chime in here and let us know. [/QUOTE]
