As a matter of interest, because it has two SD card slots can I put two different card sizes/speeds in? I have at the moment (from my D90) a 32 GB Sandisk Extreme 45 MB/s. Can I put another 32GB card in with a different speed? A 32 GB Sandisk Ultra 80MB/s as an example. I have searched everywhere on the net to no avail, so I come to the best forum in the universe to find the answer.

Thanks

Absolutely. You won't really notice unless you shoot in Continuous High and write RAW to both cards. Speaking from experience, the D7000 (and the D7100) have rather small buffers and can only manage 6 or 7 images before filling up and slowing down in CH. If that's concerning know that writing to 2 cards will slow it down even more as the processor is splitting time between 2 cards when clearing, so you'll only recover as fast as the writing to the slower card. If you're shooting RAW+Jpeg and splitting between the cards put the slower card in slot 2 so it gets the smaller files.

'New' Camera arrived with spare battery. Camera looks to be in as new condition. All I have to do now is learn the new features. Quite impressed so far.

Thanks for that, just downloaded it. As a matter of interest, I was thinking of getting a copy of the Magic Lantern book on the D7000 but if there is a better option I might consider it. I just found out via Amazon that there is a book '[FONT=&quot]Mastering the Nikon D7000 by Darrell Young'. This seems to be a better option[/FONT]

Thanks again

Just bought the download PDF of Thom Hogan's 'Complete Guide to the Nikon D7000'. It is just what I wanted. This along with Grandpaws PDF and Youtube vids are all the help I need (for now).

Thanks for everyones help and advice
