[QUOTE="80Gritt, post: 570455, member: 39900"] I bought a D7000 a year and a half ago and have been battling the AF with it the entire time. After posting about it here I sent it to Nikon and they adjusted the AF and did a firmware (I also just did the latest) update, I purchased FoCal and calibrated all of my lenses on the D7000. The AF was better but nothing to write home about. I have just been living with it. I would guess I get 3 out of 10 pictures that are sharp semi-sharp at 100% view. Today just tipped me over the edge. Last week I used my Sigma 150-600MM C and took some good shots of animals at the zoo. Then today using that lens I took 140 plus pictures of an Osprey in its nest on top of a telephone pole and none, not one was in focus at 100% even in the Nikon indicated focus square in the software much less anywhere else in the picture. I uploaded two zoo pictures and two Osprey pictures. All are post using ViewNX2. I also uploaded a picture not post with only the in camera naming convention. I am thinking about getting the D 7200 but am concerned the AF on the 7000 series may all be crap. I might rent it before to see how it does. I also am considering the D 500 but the double price I am not sure will give me that much more for my money depending on if the D 7200 actually can focus unlike the D 7000. I have a D60 that is 7-8 years old that focuses better than the D 7000. Looking at the pictures, is it me? [/QUOTE]
