Oh, right. Whoops. Old age and such.
On the D7000 (which I have) - “The D7000 is Nikon’s most advanced camera at any price. The fact that it sells for under $1,000 in 2012 make it a no-brainer, which is why it’s sold out. The D7000 is Nikon’s best DSLR ever”
hahaha
Although, the fact you can get factory refurb of this body for like 600 bucks now makes this a steal and a half.
My friend bought one first when it first came out having had the D90 which I didn’t care for (mainly for the menu system, etc…) and when I finally got a chance to shoot his, I fell in love with it.
If anyone is on the fence about getting a “prosumer” level SLR right now (not full frame), the above mentioned body should be on your short list. Full frame, a refurb D600.
