I bought it yesterday, and I personally feel its a great investment.

For people who own or have tested a D7000

What are your view`s?

Discuss :)
 
No doubt its a nice camera, but can't see it being much of an investment, probably already down in price from that which you paid yesterday
 
Dunno, I doubt they would put it down in price from yesterday, it is a nice camera though and a good investment for me anyway..
 
I bought it because it had higher iso, and more importantly it has one feature that is critical to me. However I'm treating it very much as a stopgap until the d800 or however it'll be called comes out, at which point I'll flog the D90 and have the 7000 as a crop camera and backup.

I've not had a chance to use it extensively yet, but it appears to be eveything that I expected.
 
It's a highly capable camera, from my experience. Meters very well. Really like the ADL feature as well. Good noise handling at high ISO, although I never go there :D ISTR that it still doesn't seperate mirror lockup into two stages, which is it's only fault. I don't think my memory's playing tricks with me there.

Come and see me if you need any tuition ;)

It might be like the D3100's. If it is, you can simulate a mirror up mode if you have a remote release. Put the camera into quiet mode, and when you want to shoot, press and hold the shutter (or use the toggle on the remote). That brings the mirror up. Wait a little/until you want to take the shot, and then release the shutter/toggle. :)
 
had mine a month or so now, bought as an upgrade? from the d90. so far I think it was a good move. In comparison the first things that spring to mind are the additional focus points and the iso capabilities.
 
A camera is an invertment! :lol:

Today I am going to take all my fathers camera equipment, including 7 nice prime lenses, into the local camera shop.... I'm hoping to exchange all of them for a memory card! :lol:

Had mine for about 3 months and got it as an upgrade from a bridging camera. I love it.
 
So far I`m really enjoying it, and the new features I have seen are amazing too.

only thing I have an issue with is the focusing whilst videoing, you can hear the barrel focusing whilst recording. :(

So maybe the shutter fires on the button release. Thanks for that. I'll check that out next time I get my hands on one. Certainly makes sense.
 
Not a big enough upgrade on my D90 to make me buy one.. I'm like the others and waiting on the D800/D700s later this year!
