Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only),5.0 out of 5 stars Still happy after 10 months, December 16, 2011

Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)Great camera and I'm very pleased after 10 months of use. I have a variety of lenses (Nikon 16-85VR, 50 1.8, and 70-300 VR, plus Sigma 10-20, 150 macro and 150-500) and camera has worked fine with all of them. I have had none of the focus issues mentioned, but I did a AF Fine Tune to correct slight back focus on the 16-85 at 85 and full aperture. The autofocus is sophisticated with lots of options, so practice is needed to master the best techniques for various situations (still, birds in flight, etc.)

I use a custom Standard "SD" picture control with the sharpness and saturation jacked up a bit for landscape, and a slight boost in the Neutral "NL" sharpness and contrast for shooting people/landscapes. There is lots of capability to modify existing picture controls or create custom one to match your preferences.

Great performance in low light at ISO 3200 and even 6400 if you can tolerate some loss of sharpness and modest increase in noise. You can routinely shoot inside with normal room lighting and no flash.
