I wish I had started with the d7000 from the start. I quickly outgrew the a330. Overall, I understand what the original poster is saying but I believe it comes down to personal preference. If you know yourself and what you are capable of, then you should know what camera is right for you. If you are a quick learner and really do plan to stick to photography, then there is nothing wrong with getting a camera you can grow into. I choose the d7000 because it has everything I want. As well, it is not a camera that I believe I will outgrow within the year. The d7000 was the right place for me in my current learning position in photography. I did not want to outgrow another DSLR so quickly. I feel like it's a waste of money to get a camera that in my opinion is only for right now rather than long term. I would rather invest a bit more for a camera that I plan to have for years instead of spending a little less in a camera that I might not have as long and may need to replace quickly down the road because I outgrew it. I am still happy with my d7000 and I am still learning more and more everyday. It's what I love about photography. It's a never ending learning experience. I just think that it comes down to what the individual wants and can do.</p></blockquote><p></p>
