The D7000 looks very good, another nice one from Nikon. But I think I'll hold out for the D300s replacement which should be even better, since by D80 still serves me well enough.

Heehee...i just thought of all these business strategy thing.... , might not be true, just patching whatever info I can recall:
Canon is so worry that their lead in DSLR will be taken over by Nikon and feel threatening by the launch of D90 and D300 etc. They studied the trend and Nikon's strong points. Then we saw the launching of 40D (50D), 7D and now 60D. Note that the 60D's plastic body (Canon should have anticipated that Nikon will come out a successor of D90 with similar specs). Nikon knows that Canon will come out with few models just to counter attack, therefore came out with D7000, and at very least, launching D7000 with Magnesium Alloy body. Don't know what will happen to the 60D project team... :bsmilie:
(note that from these models we can see different strategies manipulated by each brand itself)
One thing I can't understand is that why Canon cannot just stick to their own style and strong points, instead of keep watching out every Nikon's movement...There is no point keep following behind its opponent and lost confidence. :nono:
I agree with the marketing strategy. But to me, everything start with the launch of 7D which top D300 slightly.
In order for nikon to gain the superiority in top Dx segment, they need something much more better, just like D300>50D.
But this will leave a big gap between D90 successor & D300 successor. So D90 successor (D7000) has to step up to bridge this gap. And I believe, soon we'll see a step up D5100 which close to 60D but not better. And for the very entry level, D3100 is already close to 550D, may be not better.
So, the built in flash cannot be used as a master commander for remote flashes as in D90???:embrass::embrass: If so, it is a downgrade!!!

It's time for me 2 upgrade my old reliable D70 to D7000... For those old timer still holding non AF lenses, this is a dream come true at a lower price as compare to D300s.
Some function resemable of those F4 and F5.... looks cool.
I'll sure be getting it.
Mai tu liao! I feel happy for you!

D70 - D70s - D80 - D90 - D7000
4th generations difference. D7000 is really a worthy upgrade.
I also feel happy for you

I don't know about everyone else... after less than half a year with D90, I felt D7000 is already a hefty jump for me even! :bsmilie:
