[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 67449, member: 9521"] I agree about the durability of the D7000. I was out in the desert not long ago taking night photos with my 14-24mm on my D7000 and both were on a tripod. I went to move my set up to and I totally didn't see a ~1ft drop in the path I was walking and came slamming down to the ground. And because the camera/lens was on the tripod in my hand and it ended up swinging itself down to the ground like a baseball bat, picking up speed as it approached the ground. I laid there for a minute or two making sure my ankle wasn't broken and i didn't even want to look at the camera or my crazy expensive lens that I was sure I busted. I gathered myself to look at the camera/lens expecting the worst and to my surprise there was virtually no signs of impact. The lens had a small scuff on the permanently attached lens shade but nothing else and the camera itself showed nothing other than the wired remote was ripped away from the plug and only wires were sticking out. I couldn't believe my luck. So yes, I can personally attest to the fact the D7000 is a very well built camera capable of taking extreme mistreatment and come out smelling like roses. [/QUOTE]
