Excellent choice! It may take you a bit to really get all of the "goodies" down well enough to use them.. but you won't outgrow this body.....

The users manual is excellent for just delineating the features and how to use them.. but doesn't go into when or why to use them.... I highly recommend this also.... Amazon.com: David Busch's Nikon D7000 Guide to Digital SLR Photography (9781435459427): David D. Busch: Books

Also watch this........... over and over, if you have to. I watched it many times, until the info finally started to sink in.
Nikon | Imaging Products | Digitutor | D7000
It will teach you the settings and buttons on the camera, and what they're used for.
I love my D7000, and I bet you'll love your's too.
Good luck!

I spent many an hour deciding if I wanted to go with a d7000 or not. In the end I opted for the slightly cheaper D90 and spent the extra on a few more accessories. By time I am ready to upgrade, the 7100 will probably be the next hot thing.

You won't be disappointed!

Congrats on the D90. The D7000 is "fairly" new, doubtful we will see an upgrade to this one soon.

Well the D90 was the top mid-level camera for a long time, the D7000 is essentially an upgraded D90. So I second this statement.

The only real negatives were the back focusing issues from what I read

Ya i wont lie, this sorta scared me as well. It is disheartening when you Google an issue...and there are pages and pages of people with the same issue. I know you will get defects and bad apples once in a while, but this almost seemed a design defect that was carried over from its predecessor.

Of course people said if you own an Xbox 360 you will get the infamous 'Red Ring of Death" because it was a huge design flaw...but in 3 years I have had no issues with mine, so you can not always trust the crowed.
