Anybody like there D7000 as much as I love mine. I know it's not the latest but it is a wonderful camera. I am able to capture images with wonderful results that I am looking for. Anybody have special features that work for you? It's a wonderful product. Thank you Nikon

Good shooting

I have a 7000 and I really enjoy it. I set it up so that I can use the back button for focus. This works for me; though some people don't like it.

I really enjoy mine too.
The low noise factor is big.
Everything considered, it's a feel good camera.
No desire to move up into anything new.

Agree. Even though the new D7100 takes things to a whole new level, the D7000 still can hold its own quite well.

I don't see the 7100 as a quantum leap forward. To me, it is a way of selling more cameras without actually offering that much new. Many people thing that the higher resolution is worth the price of admission. I don't think you really need all that resolution. Of course this could all be sour grapes. I don't feel the need to upgrade......yet.

I also have a D7000, but the D7100 is more than just a higher resolution sensor. Having said that, going from a 16mp to a 24mp sensor is a significant 50% increase and similar to the difference between the 24mp D600 and the 36mp D800 which is also a 50% increase. The 36mp resolution of the D800 is astounding. Why would you think the difference between the D7000 and the D7100 is not an important improvement?

I think I misstated my reply. Of course the difference in resolution is significant. Nikon would not have bothered if it did not mean anything. I also realize that they made other improvements as well. I just don't think that the differences are enough to justify me going right out and buying the new model. Of course I have only had my 7000 for about six months. You can take fantastic shots with 8 mp cameras. To me the resolution becomes important if you are making huge enlargements or cropping significantly. To me it seems similar to comparing last years Ferrari with this years Ferrari. Sure the new one accelerates faster and has a higher top speed; but how much faster is it really? I don't see that the 7100 is a big enough improvement to make the 7000 obsolete. I might even opt for the 7000 left over model as opposed to the 7100 if I were upgrading from a 3100, say, if the deal were right. So, yes, the 7100 is a better camera in many respects than the 7000. I stand corrected.

I love my D7000. But since I am wealthy and my friends are too, they told me to go full-frame. It is better in some ways, but for simplicity and frugal reasons I'll never part with my D7000. It does almost everything my D800e does except allow 36 megapixels for cropping and printing large.

I have the 7000 and LOVE it! I can take even decent pictures from a moving car. I keep discovering new features. I took the supermoon last night and was thrilled with the pictures. I like the bracketing feature. Works well for HDR.

When I shot the puffins from a moving boat birds came out so small. I was able to crop immensly and it produced wonderful 8 X 10"s.

I think he meant "Anybody like their D7000 as much as I love mine."

I love my D7000. I have had it for two years. Still learning it, Photoshop Elements 11, LR4, and NIK. They only upgrade I need is my brain.

"Bird of paridise". Beautiful picture "thegrover". What"s the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words".

Good shooting

I upgraded from a D5000 to a D7000 a month ago. My favorite combination is the D7000 with a Nikon 35mm f:1.8 for a walk-around lens. It's great for street photography. If you can blow up the attached pic, you can read the lables on the CDs.

I got mine about four months ago, actually received it two days before the D7100 was announced. I love it, it's a huge step up from the D3100 I was shooting with. I really like the bracketing feature and the DoF button.

Took this about an hour ago at an abandoned horse racing track. D7000, 50mm 1.8
