Nikon d7000

As anyone who follows Nikon knows, the d7000 dropped today. Amazon is offering pre-orders, and I plan on grabbing one as soon as I'm comfortable with my bank account balance.

There are some decent reviews online, but the main one of interest is the one at dPreview. It's hands on and has lots of good news.

Issues of interest to me:

  • Hi ISO performance (100–6400)
  • 100% viewfinder coverage
  • AI lens metering
  • AF-D lens compatibility (duh)
  • Dual SD card slots
  • Magnesium alloy weather-sealed case


There are a couple other interesting points, but I suspect it'll be a great upgrade, and the final one before I do anything with a full-frame camera. When I get my hands on one, I'll try to put up a review.
