It's interesting that I have seen a lot of people knocking the D7000 and it might appear from this comment I'm one of them as well. I got my D7000 about a year ago and it's a great camera. It replaced my D90 and from that point of view was a brilliant purchase.

It is however always going to play second best as I believe my D300s is still an infinitely better camera, being more customisable and much more fun to use, especially in manual mode, which I use most of the time. In fact, so far as I can see I'll continue this way till the "D400" I've put my name down for turns up (if ever and subject to spec).
