@photofonz Maybe Nikon's best camera for $1,200, but way too noisy when you push the ISO. At a wedding where the church didn't allow flash and naturally it was very dark, my assistant had no usable images from the D7k while my D3s didn't break a sweat (both shot in RAW of course). The D7000 is a nice little camera though for hobbyist/non-professional use and when shooting in ideal conditions. I have shot with one myself under varying conditions, and was slightly disappointed with it.
I agree, the D7000 is a great tool and you belong to the Nikon tradition of top quality bodies and lenses. Buying new and used Nikon lenses, especially really fast, sharp lenses like the 50mm 1.4 gets you great glass at affordable prices, low-light shooting and manual aperture rings you can adjust while recording.
you should be happy, my D7000 stuffed up after 3 months, err shutter dead and no stock of parts to fix it and no new cameras to chance it over, 20days no camera :S
@VijayNale - In fairness to my viewers I do not have any experience with the Sony A77 and cannot give any personal preference.
From what I have read and heard, Sony is coming up with some really amazing cameras and the A77 is a fantastic camera. According to some reviews, it is great shooting video since you can use the viewfinder and get better auto focus.
However, not sure if Sony is as good with high ISO's as the D7000. Overall, I really enjoy the quality and speed I get from my D7000.
@VijayNale The a77 still has the same sensor as the D7000 and the reason I would choose the D7000 over the a77 is because the a77 has a eletronic viewfinder.
I use a Nikon D60 at the moment and to be fair it does a great job for me working out doors in rough weather taking site photos for wind turbines. One day, I will upgrade to a D7000 so this video has been useful to me! Thanks, DZ.
@DingleZilla - The bracket shown is the JustRite rotating bracket. I hope to put a video on You Tube within 2 weeks on all the different brackets I use and go into detail about them.
"quiet possibly it may be the best camera nikon has made to date" is a bit of an overstatement dont you think?

@MYTRB - Let's not leave out the the rest of the sentence when I stated .... "especially when you consider the price tag of only about $1200".
It's not just my opinion but many other photographers I have talked with who actually own or have shot the D7000.
I still think it "quite possibly may be" If Nikon makes one better I'd like to know about it, especially in the same price range.

@photofonz You do have a point there, I guess it just comes down to what you intend to use the camera for.

I am always hearing about the 70-300.

Excellent video - thank you! The D7000 is so tempting. I have a D3100 but am considering upgrading.

I'd like to know about the tilt-and-revolve cradle you have attached to this camera. Who makes it, who sells it, etc.
Love the Biltmore Estate images, BTW!

@159753dmh - Thanks.
Shortly after I got the camera I took it along on a trip we took to Boone & Ashville, NC.
I was really amazed at the quality of images this camera puts out.
The bracket shown is the JustRite rotating bracket. You can see all about it on another video I just posted "Camera Bracket & Accessories".

@parkerdonald1 - Thanks for the compliment. I purchased mine at B&H for $1199. They are currently priced at $1299.
Used on ebay they are selling between $1050-$1200. May be better to spring for new one since there isn't that much of a price difference.
