<p>I'm so glad I stumbled on this post earlier.<br>
Having had a D7000 for around 6 months, I can honestly say, it's been a struggle every time I've used it. No matter the setting, lighting and target, I have rarely been able to get shots, that are sharp. To me something just wasn't right with it. I sent it back to Nikon explaining my problems, they sent it back having had a service etc. Still the images just didn't look in focus. As a designer, I've used many cameras and would class myself as an experienced amateur.<br>
<br />I was taking photos of my son this morning with the D7000 in bright sunlight, perfect settings and they just came out, out of focus and massively dissapointing... in my temper i boxed her up and headed into town to p/x it for a used d7100 they had in stock.<br>
<br />When I got home, my son was still outside and the sun was still shining, i fired off a couple of shots and ran to my computer, the difference between the two was night and day. The images from the D7100 were crisp, clean and exactly exposed as I had set the camera to capture.<br /><br /><br>
For my sanity, if anything.. this was worth the £200 extra I paid.<br>
<br />I have a colleague who uses a D7000 for work and swears by it.<br>
<br />So, until a D4s hits my lap... the D7100 is staying!</p>
