Having extensively tested the Nikon D7000, it's easy to understand why this camera ranks up there in popularity, even with a $1,200 price tag. Simply put, if you're serious about photography, you want this camera.
16.2MP APS-C DSLR; Terrific photos; Very responsive (6 fps; Top ISO of 25,600; Fast focusing; excellent detail
Hard to find and forget about a price break; Weird Release-Mode dial; Heavy noise above ISO 10,000-which is pretty amazing anyway; HD video still problematic
