Talk me out of the Nikon D7000!

I'm strongly considering getting this. I've been eyeing this camera since before it came out. I'd be getting it for mainly still capture use so the supposed video issues wouldn't really be a huge problem.

I like the D7000 but I can't see spending $1200 on it, when the D90 does 95% of what the D7000 can do at 50% of the price. The D90 can be had for $650 since the D7000 came out.

Some of the video issues (HOT pixels) have also been reported to be seen in STILL images

I think that I will just wait for:

1. The price to come down after the holidays

2. See if a firmware update comes out to address some of the reported problems

Not on mine. I have a couple of hot pixels on video but none of them have come through in stills.( knock in wood ) . Do you have a link for this issue? Is be interested in reading about it.

The D7000 is over-hyped. I'd stay with the D90. Or if your going to spend more money, get the D300s instead of the D7000.
