[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 630618, member: 43545"] The yellow fluid comes from the flash head or the dog house where the pentaprism is? The only component inside the camera that could have any pasty fuild, much thicker than the WD-40 reference, is in the flash circuit,a large capacitor used to discharge thrown an inductor where the collapsing magnetic field induce a very high voltage needed to flash the Xeon gas flash tube. Not a good sign, and it is very rare that one would leak electrolyte. Another option is the camera being stored in such as way to allow some external fluid to seep or drip into the camera VF/Flash doghouse housing. The D7000 is more camera than 90% of shooters would ever need. The only two subject matters that would benefit in a real way, with a pro sort of camera are sports and birds in flight. I have yet to find a subject where my D7000 is not up to the task so use it as a second camera in events, weddings, and studio shoots were having a wide lens on my d800 and a longer lens on the D7000 can be used depending on the field of view needed for a shot. Nothing wrong at all about the D7000, in fact its sensor is very good, better than the D7100 sensor. 16mpx is a sweet spot between processing speed and resolution.
