Coming from a d5100, the d7000 is a bit of a handful. 1st thing I noticed is the improved pentaprism vs pentamirror viewfinder. Much brighter and cleaner. The 18-105mm is a beast compared to the 18-55.... The build quality however, is truely a cut above 18-55.

I've read some of David Busch's books and I, on the other hand, recommend this one.

I'll keep an eye out for those books. I've shot about 100 frames today so far. I really love the feel, fit, and finish of this camera. It will take me a while to get use to all the buttons. The d5100 did just about everything with the menu and while not the quickest way, I knew where things were. Now I have to get use to having all those dedicated buttons......LOL

I got mine a little over a year ago and haven't regretted it. (returned a D5100 after having it for about a month) The buttons can be a little daunting at first but before long you'll be changing settings subconsciously as you shoot. It can be a little strange looking at your settings and saying "When did I change that?" 
I'm forever doing this with the metering modes.

Geez, I'm feeling really left out...
That's okay. Me and my little D5100 will just keep plugging along, until I get a raise or another design job on the side or someone buys a few of my photos...maybe a LOT of my photos.
I don't really see any of those things happening for a while. But I was perfectly content with my D5100 until I read this thread...
