Depends how you hold the camera I don't suffer any problems with my D7000 but I hold right hand on the grip and left hand under the lens supporting it near the end (zoom ring area) with thumb and forefinger.
Bit like below (not my pic one I found on Google as an example)

I ordered my new D7000 today, changing from a D5100. Should hopefully be here by the weekend. Its beginning to feel a lot like christmas!
Is it just me or does anyone elses D7000 go flying up when the shutter has been pressed?!? I know it is a stupid question but I am really questioning whether the camera is too heavy for me. I really struggle to hold the camera still when shooting, especially for a long time. I have started to interlock my fingers around the bottom of the lens to try and add some stability. Am I doing anything obviously wrong or is there any addition stability clause in the camera? I especially notice when shooting with 55-200mm VR and Tamron 17-50mm. Thanks, Sarah

I am selling my mint D7000 with MB-10 and 18-200 VRII to buy a Leica lens. Do you think I should sell separately or as a kit? I only want a grand for the lot but would I get more separately?
I'm feeling lonely as no-one replied to this. Maybe nobody knows the answer, or they do, and they don't want to tell me. Why wouldn't they tell me?
The voices.........

Separately, I mean why would anyone buy a d7000 and get a mbd10 grip which is for a different camera.

snapperjack said:This is my first time on the site so if I have made any mistakes please forgive, I have just got a D7000 as my first Dslr camera and to say i am impressed is an understatement, before this i had a p6000 which i used with my swarovski 80 hd spotting scope but i then found out that it wasn't easy to get pictures of birds in flight; the p6000 is a good little camera on and off the scope and one thing that surprised me with it is that it has user 1/2 like the d7000 for settings.
I have had the D7000 now for a week and its already showing me the diffences compared to the p6000, when i got the d7000 i got the nikon 50mm 1.4g lence with it and the 55/300mm both have VR; i took a few photographs of my grandaughter just lifting it up without trying to set anything up and with the 50mm on.
When we veiwed the images on the computer i like the rest of the family were really blown away with the results, she stands out really well and the background is blown right out fantastic; it looks has if someone who knows what their doing took it so pretty pleased.
If anyone knows and can help me whats a good lens for taking pictures in churches or other buildings that show alot of detail.
regards mike

Opened my D7000 yesterday. Spent more time digging through the menus to far trying to understand them, will get it out in the wild soon. Currently waiting for the 2nd battery to charge up.
It will be a while before you need that 2nd battery, the charge lasts for many shots
