My D7000 and the results.

[MIKE THROWER]

Earlier in the Month I asked what you would buy with a spare £1,000, but remember all the lenses were Nikon fit and I wanted to back up the D300. Well I went for the D7000 and I must say I am very impressed, Fast focus,Pin Sharp, and all you could want in a package now priced about £800. Yes I know the lens takes the picture but I have had these same lenses on other cameras with nowhere near the same results. I was out Thursday to try birds in flight and the 3d tracking on the camera with very pleasing results, I have posted a few gull shots, to see what you think and also try your ID skills out. A great camera which in the 4 weeks I have had it has paid for its self no only in £'s but pleasure. What will the D400 bring or will I bother?

Gulls and Terns is as far as I could go.

I 20,000 on my D3 and I wonder if I should shift that now while it still has some value as I think it will plummet over 50,000 and if or when the D4 comes out.

You are convincing me to go with this D7000, I am unsure about going back to DX format.

Incidentally, I came across this website which is a live database of camera life by shutter actuations.
