[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 12031, member: 3903"] As I said before, I've had my D 7000 since dec 23rd and really really like it. I was tempted to go D 700 but here's what kept me with DX: Price. The D7K is about half price from the D 700. Size and weight. There is a substancial difference in size and weight between the two. Since I take my camera on week long bicycle rides, the weight alone could get to be a problem. I remember one day in Spain where I didn't take my D90 and found out that the 7 km climb was easier without the camera in the handlebar bag. I already had lenses that would have cropped the D 700 if I would have used them on it. From what I've read, the main difference in IQ is at high ISOs. Now I don't enjoy shooting in the almost darkness. I find that good light makes a pictures. When there is no light, get a flash. I got the Firefly portable soft diffuser and can use my SB-600 to get great portrait light. So I can get more stuff for my money with the D7000. Next step is better lenses... Only my 2 canadian pennies. Marcel [/QUOTE]
