[QUOTE="crisscross, post: 58387, member: 8717"] I have now had a D7000 since new year and am happy to give it a cautious endorsement. I think if I was prepared to have weight and bulk of D300s, I would rather have got that. The D7000 has a mass of cunning settings, most of which turn out more trouble than worth and make it a difficult beast to tame. I think there is an issue with focus on landscapes which may not have sharp edges features at the relevent point and it may be exacerbated by slow lens(es). However the fast continuous shooting is great as are the mirror-up and user pre-set functions. Best of all, when exposing downwards to avoid 'blown' bits eg white cloud edges, the info is all there in what can look like pitch black foreground, fully recoverable using either D-Lighting in Capture NX2 or DxO optics for really poor light situations. This is what the high ISO ratings are really about, not shooting in the dark! See my pbase 'recent' galleries for wide ranging evidence pics [/QUOTE]
