I received my D7000 two days before they announced the D7100 and paid $896.00 (I somehow missed the rumors about a new body coming out), it's now selling for $750.00, so it's $146.00 cheaper. I expect that the D7100 will come down when they announce a replacement. By the way, at $750.00, the D7000 is a great camera at a great price. I still use mine regularly, even though I have upgraded to full frame since.
The agonizing I mentioned in the original post was between a D7000 and a D7100. I tend to keep my cameras for a while so didn't want to buy a camera with four year old technology! The D7000 seems to be an excellent camera and I think it would be more than adequate for my amateur pursuits but the aging technology makes me want something newer.
