Best Buy is currently selling the D7000 with the 18-140mm lens for… $629.99.

Great price? Or is it better to spend almost twice as much for the D7100, at $1199.99?

I think the D7000 is too good a deal to pass up. Got to go. That price is starting to give me a G.A.S. attack

Happy with my 7000! For me, the additional features of the 7100 would be nice,but not enough to spend the extra. If I do decide that I need more,there's a new model possibly coming out!

I have a D7000 and it does everything I need it to do. The 18-140mm lens is a great bonus over an 18-55 or 18-105. You will not be disappointed for keeping some cash for a few more Mpix and minor features. Enjoy!

This is an outstanding price- a good value. However the 7100 offers a lot more than "a few more Mpix and minor features". Printout the specs of both cameras or Google: d7000 vs d7100. You may find things the 7100 offers over the 7000 that makes the extra cost worthwhile. ;)

I've read numerous comparisons and I'm curious as to what features constitute "...a lot more than a few more mega.."

This is not meant to be argumentative,but a serious question because I have considered upgrading. The low pass filter point doesn't mean much to amateur me. The dollar factor just didn't do it for me and I have no qualms regarding "worthwhile expenditures."

Personally I like the D7100. It is the "best" DX camera on the market. I have one and I love it with the 18-200 f/3.5.

Does anyone know if later production models of the 7000 had the problem with oil on the sensor that the early models had? I am more than happy with my 7000 (since Dec 2010) but had to learn how to clean the sensor in the early going. The problem is pretty minor now. PS spot healing is pretty good at making repairs in the sky.

As others have said look at the specs side by side nd see if you need them. I went from a D90 to a D7100 and truth be told there are very few pictures that I can do a lot better with the D7100 20X30 prints - D7100 but if shot with the D90 and viewed at a proper viewing distance hard to tell the differance. It fun to "shoot in the dark" with the D7100 but the onty time I have used it was to show off what the camera can do. That is a great price on the D7000. - Dave

I have a D7100. It is an amazing piece of equipment. Quite possibly the best DX out there.

I have a D7000, extremely happy with it, especially now that all oil spot issues seem to have been resolved.

Incidentally, I haven't read any D7000 owners saying they would prefer a D7100, or D7100 owners saying they would prefer a D7000!

I wonder why that is?
