D 7000 Nikon

I have a D7000. You won't be disappointed. It has a drive pin in the body for the older autofocus lenses and also a meter coupling for Nikon AI lenses. Do not mount the older non-AI lenses. They can damage the meter coupling tab that sits on the upper right arc of the lens mount on the body. It is plastic and the base ring on the non-AI lens is too thick to fit between the meter tab and the lens mounting ring on the body. On the Nikon DF this meter tab will flip up out of the way to accommodate the older non AI lenses. Just for the sake of identification, the non-AI lenses are the ones with the little metal fork on the top of the lens back where it mounts to the camera, although some of those have been converted to AI. The D7000 series of Nikons are liked by all who use them. There are the D7100, D7200, and the new D7500. I particularly like the dual card slot on the D7000. The camera can be programed to do raw on one card and jpeg on the other, or the second slot can be set up for overflow or backup.

My first D7000 experienced shutter failure at 292,000 actuations. I chose to replace it with another D7000 rather than repair it. Sold the second one on Ebay with 213,000 actuations when I moved to the D7200 for my crop body. The D7000 is a fantastic camera and I only wish Nikon still made it. But the D500 suits my crop sensor needs now.

Used my Nikon D7000 for years. Have well over 20,000 actuations with no issues. Handles well in very cold temps (below -30; although battery drain is fast). Use mostly for landscapes. Newer 7100/7200 have some attractive features to consider as well. Don't use video.

I shoot a lot of outdoor equine action with the d7000 (was a used camera gift). It took a long time to master it. I Shoot full manual most of the time and have taped that mode dial, very frustrating to shoot reading the histogram and missing that mode button misalignment grrrrrr. it is quick enough for me and puts out great images once you get it down.

What is a reasonable price for a D 7000 with a 12,000 shutter count?

The OP is keeping the Canon for video and going Nikon for stills.
Why use two different systems?

Known offense? Ha ha ha I got a laugh out of that.
Glad you are open minded. I think that you will enjoy both cameras each for different reasons.

Good. I bought my D7000 a little more than 2 years ago for $365 plus $20 shipping.

Owned a D7K for a number of years, great camera, excellent images, very versatile, comfortable in the hands. I don't think 16K on shutter count is high at all.
Good luck.
