[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 119296, member: 7698"] No, when the D7000 launched Nikon flat said it was NOT the D90 successor and continued to make the D90. The big uproar with the release of the D7000 was how is it NOT the replacement. Now 2 years later the D7000 is the DX camera to have for most enthusiasts and IS obviously the D90 replacement. It was a marketing ploy to keep people buying the D90 at the time since price had dropped and there was no real decent cameras under the D90. The D300s is and has always been firmly seated above the D7000 because of build and AF although on paper the D7000 does appear to be the contender...
