That is a fairly low shutter count for a used D7000.

I have a friend who is at 230K with that camera. I believe Nikon rates that shutter to between 150K and 200K. So, as you see, you have a 5 year old on your hands.

The D7000 is rated for 150,000 actuations, that's the mean time before failure, shutters are known for going well past their expected failure points.

I'd consider a D7100 or D7200 - newer, better specs, probably fewer shutter actuations. My refurbs and used bodies have all been under 200 clicks.

I also would recommend at least the D7100 over the D7000. More up to date specs and less clicks. The features in this camera, or the D7200, would serve you well for several years.

I don't know how much the seller wants but you can get some great deals a Cameta camera with a one year warranty, that would be for a refurbished one. The D7000 is an excellent camera

I would get a refurbished D7200 from a reputable Photo Shop for about $800, from Adorama, B&H, or Cameta. If that is within your budget, get it. It has 24 megapixels vs 16 megapixels on the D7000. And a better buffer.

And a locking mode dial.
I shot events with my D7000 and often times, the mode dial didn’t stay where I set it. Not sure how it got moved while I was carrying it, but it was really frustrating.

I don't understand why you'd want two systems, unless you have a stinkin' hot deal on the D7000.
The Canon 7D is probably a better camera and it will use your present Canon lenses.

I'd have to agree that a refurbished D7100 or D7200 would be a better choice.

If the camera is in good condition a shutter count of 16 k is practically nothing for a camera designed to take 150 k.
I have a D7000. The 16 Mp. are more than enough for my work. The buffer capacity is pretty good for my needs.
I believe it is an excellent tool.
