Lastly, while the 7000 is an excellent camera it's days are numbered as it is getting long of tooth.
Indeed. When that tooth breaks off by Nikon introducing the D7100 all D7000 units out in the wild will stop working.... They're all programmed to permanently ERR on the release date of the D7100.... The rumor I heard is that this date is... 12/21/12...!
Good one!!! My point, too much price for tech that's about to get rolled over. IMO, the 7000 is a bench mark camera within Nikon's line up. It really makes a serious arguement to hobbiest, "Do i really need a full size sensor?" I believe it will become iconic, much like the F100. That said, some time nxt year when the 7000S is introduced the price on the 7000 will drop like a rock. Just as it has on the 5100. For those who don't have, or do have but have worn out, that's the time to buy.
Again, imo, the price difference between the 5100 on sale and a 7000 at it's current level makes the 5100 the better buy for those not needing the 7000's advanced feature set. Which covers a lot of people.
