OK, I finally got off the fence and ordered a refurb d7000. Even when the 7100 or 7200 comes out, I can't see the price getting much lower, and I can't see the camera getting much better. I can get 16x20's from my d5000, and I don't print bigger than that. The biggest factor in ordering is the focus motor in the body so that I can use my old lenses. (The bells and whistles aren't bad either.) All in all, I think I can quit cold turkey the gadget acquisition syndrome, relax, and go back to taking pictures. Oh, I may have my d70 converted to IR, and then...

Excellent choice...you should be up and running in no time.
Thanks for your replys, and Heart, the two links look very useful. Thanks
You are going to have lots of fun with your new toy.
I'm cured too. No hint of NAS. I'm waiting for the D8000100efg. My D7000 does everything I need, does it well, and I'm still learning after more than two years with it.
Unless you're sold on full-frame, the D7000 was the break-through for a decade or more still to come. I'm surprised there is a D7100. I'd do the D600 for the difference and then the D800 for the best.

So your saying you would buy a D600 before a 7100, please explain?

Give 'shooting' (up) a brand new meaning, doesn't it?

You just bought the best camera in it's class and the D7100 is just another model for the addicts that feel they need a new camera once a year at least. It will take you a while to learn the D7000 and by the time you learn it all Nikon will probably have 3-4 more models on the market but they will just add a few more bells and whistles, mostly none which you truly need. There are always those with deep pockets that think buying a better camera will get you better pictures but not better than this baby. Enjoy and hope to see some of your shots...........
