[QUOTE="Obir, post: 14932, member: 4928"] Thanks photojack. When I took the manual out of the box, my wife just laughed and walked away saying: "I guess I won't be seeing you in a few days". :) I'm currently mostly shooting in Manual using the camera's metering as a guide (just a guide) and making adjustments from there. The D7000 makes this very easy with the rear/front dials. I'm sure once I learn all the focus modes (and there are plenty...) and how to apply to specific situations it'll be easier. My first attempts were using 3D mode and I found the camera jumping around the viewfinder changing focus points (at least in low light) even when the subject was still. A quick change in focus mode fixed that...no problem. I posted two pics in my gallery and would really appreciate your comments (pros & cons) on them. Composition wise they're messy...I know :-) Does focus look ok to you? [/QUOTE]
