What's great about it: A lot of camera for the price.
What's not so great: Takes a little time to learn to use it.
Wow. I moved up from my great entry level camera (D60) to the D7000. What a difference! Bigger images and better autofocusing are two of the benefits. For me, the biggest difference is how many frames per second I can shoot. I shoot high school football and wrestling and my D60 would take 4 frames and then need to buffer. You miss a lot of shots that way. On the D7000, I can shoot a dozen easily and I have not really had a need to see how much further it will go. It does take time to figure it out though. You can get decent shots on "Auto", but that's not why you buy a camera like this! Sit down with the manual and learn how to use it. You will not be disappointed!

What's great about it: Easy to use, Lots of Pro features
What's not so great: Noisy at high ISO settings, Kit 18-105mm Lens is nice but....
The D7000 was my first DSLR and I'm VERY happy with it!! I've had it for about a month now and have taken some really nice pictures with it. The only suggestion I would make is that if you're not already DSLR savoy or if you don't want to spend time/don't have the time to read up ALOT and learn, I'd opt for a D5100 or D3100/3200.
Knowing way more about cameras now than when I bought this one and after returning to the store and playing with other Nikons and Canons, I'm still extremely happy with my purchase!

What's great about it: The quality of the pictures are crisp and clear.
What's not so great: Seems a little on the high end of the price scale.
I love this camera. I had a nikon d5000 before this and this is night and day better. I take 1000's of pictures a year with family and scenery and this camera is great. Relatively easy to use. Takes several pictures at a time when you hold down the shutter release button.

What's great about it: Does everything I wanted in a new camera
I was looking for a camera that could shoot good pictures with high speed continuous shooting mode in low light conditions. This camera fills the bill. I take pictures at horse shows. Many times they are in a big arena with less than perfect lighting conditions and trying to capture a galloping horse has been impossible before purchasing this camera.

What's great about it: Everything IMO
What's not so great: Price, but in this case you really get what you pay for IMO
This D7000 feels like they took my old D70 camera body and put a high performance rebuild under the hood. Little changes make a huge difference, like 2 more continuous FPS, more than twice the megapixels, an extra SDHC memory slot, and a much needed bigger viewing screen. Add 1080p movies and wireless remote features and it's no wonder I love this D7000.
This camera is much more than a point and shoot, but designed to do that too. A semi pro camera with enough features to please even the pro camera users who buy one for their backup unit. I can't really see anyone who loves taking pictures not liking this camera. It's more than most might want to spend especially when you add the cost of lenses, but it will take you places in photography you never thought of.
It helps that after the many years of use with my D70, this D7000 feels the same in my hand but offers much more in comparison. I recommend at least checking out the D7000 to anyone looking for a better camera. It has more than everything you need and features that will change the way you take pictures, once you learn how to use them.
It wouldn't be fair for me to rate "Ease of use" a 5, since it has so many custom features. I suppose if I only used the "Auto" setting I would have given it a 5 but learning the screen menus will take me some time to get familiar with. This is not meant to be a complaint, just a reality I am more than happy to deal with (Learn as I go).

What's great about it: High ISO with great image quality, Fast AF and Smooth Shutter, Dual SD Cards, Solid Construction
What's not so great: Doesn't shoot at 30 FPS for 1080 Video, a tilt screen would be nice but not needed
This is a huge upgrade from my Nikon d80. The image quality is fantastic. I have only had it for about two weeks and I have had nothing but rave reviews for it. I have taken photographs inside with the iso cranked to 4000 and there is about the same amount (if not less than) what my d80 has at an iso of 800.
I already had a collection of Nikon AF lenses (which all work great on the d7000) so I'm loving this right now.
The kit lens is the quality you would expect from a kit. The glass is amazing but the low quality parts that surround it are eigh. Do yourself a favor and purchase a high quality lens. If any thing the kit lens would be a great back up lens or something you might not worry too much about in the hands of someone else.
Don't bother getting sd cards smaller than 8gb. I shoot in raw + basic jpeg and only get 209 images on the 8gb card. Having the duel card slots is a great feature. I have it set up with slot 1 as my primary raw & jpeg folder and slot 2 as an overflow and for video.
In the two weeks I've had the camera I have shot about 500+ photos and only about a dozen video clips and the battery has only dropped one line on the indicator.
I do have to admit that the video features aren't as good as the Canon 60d. It would be nice to shoot in 1080 at 30 frames a second and at a higher frame rate like 50 or 60 fps like the 60d but all and all the video is sharp and easy to work with.

I had my D7000 for about a month now and this is a solid camera. A lot of pro features a beginner user will not use but the price is way munch less than a pro body camera. If you are moving one stem up from amateur to intermediate or even pro this is the one to buy. I had the soft focus problem, I went back to the store I explained the issue to the costumer support rep and she replace the unit with no problems (this is why I buy in Best Buy). I use mine with the prime lenses 35, 50 and 85 MM f1.8 (I don't really need the 1.4...yet) and the shots are superb!

What's great about it: No con about camera.
What's not so great: Optional Battery pack MB-D11 is a terrible design
If you are not an average point and shoot person and you are in the market for a Nikon. Then you can't go wrong with this camera. In my opinion this camera should be rated in the Professional Series with Nikon due to the many features, speed and quality of you pictures. The camera itself is very sturdy and heavy. A great feeling in your hands, not to mention it is also water resistant. Great for all applications outdoors.

What's great about it: Speed, quality of snaps even at higher ISO's, battery life, build quality, and quality of photos
What's not so great: nothing I can find so far....
Write now, a great camera at a great price. Has many pro features at a prosumer price. Shot at a tournament all day on Saturday... One charge on the battery (no flash) and over 1000 photos, so the battery is fantastic. Duel SD card slots makes RAW photos a reality (I generally am fine with the JPEGS but when I have that perfect shot, then RAW is nice).
Would recommend to anyone who wants to get outstanding photos.

I had a Nikon before, but it was a Coolpix 8700. So I still learning how things works with this camera.
The camera has almost everything I could expect but the major things are HD movie, double SD slot, robust body, lots of AF points, etc.
I feel that these type of camera should come with GPS already.

If you have 1200 to spend on camera body stop here and don't look any more.. This is the camera to have, its even better then 7d from canon. canon makes the best point and shot. but nikon makes the best dslr cameras. I think if nikon knew how good this thing really is, they would charge at least 400 more for it. whats to ask for...iso almost as good as d700 (yes..i had one), 1080p video(with continuous auto focus), built like a tank, nice door like flaps for different connections(even d700 had rubber flaps but no hinge), fast focus, long lasting battery, and..thank you nikon dual memory card slots sd(with ability to choose what you want recorded to which one), just like my old olympus c8080. get one you will not be disappointed . i can't wait for d800 to see what it does..but for now d7000 is the prosumer camera to beat...get one if you can ...sold out here but available on line for sometimes higher price then msrp.

What's great about it: It is A Nikon
I am a licensed Professional Photographer in Los Angeles, California. Always used c---n film cameras. But! I wanted my first DSLR to be a Nikon. After going all over the Internet looking for something I thought I would be comfortable with, all roads sent me to the Nikon D7000. It is full of features or set it up as a point and shoot - just let the camera do everything for you in AUTO Mode. Either way you will enjoy your pictures as never before. It took me a very long time to convert to a DSLR and I am very glad I waited for the D7000 to be built.
