I'd agree, but people want to use what the pro's shoot.
Not necessarily the name for THAT reason. Sony has been unstable for years. I refuse to buy their products no matter what it is... every sony product I ever purchased was crap or broke way earlier than it should have.
Besides... nikon and cannon are IMAGING and CAMERA companies. They don't make toasters, cd players, dog toys... lol ok a little stretch but you get my point
I'm sure they make fine cameras but not for everyone.
The camera division of Sony is basically Minolta under another name which was a well established camera company. The technology and build f the products they offer are of similar quality to canon or nikon. However lens selection for Sony cameras is somewhat limited when compared to canon and nikon. Still waiting for a tiltshift to come out in a-mount.
But as for quality of images Sony is pretty decent. I have friends with nikon and canon and they like my images that my a580 produces which has the same sensor as your D7000. The output is almost identical to a d7000. And im sure you are aware that Nikon has been outsourcing chip develop to Sony for their higher end cameras.
People should really not get so hung up on a name. These are small pieces of electronic equipment and have about 99% of the same components and are made in the same countries by the same workers. There is a lot less difference then you would expect.
