That's the spirit . Congrats!

good choice... I still have some FX lenses, if the d7000 had a FF sensor, this would be my choice.

D600 for $1500? the D7000 is $1200 now.

Congratulations. I also use a D7000, but these days it does not get the use that the XPro and NEX7 get. However, when you need something for fast action and certain other uses the D7000 can't be beat at the price.

It's a great camera. I traded mine for a D700, but sometimes wish I hadn't. The only issue I had was a fairly steep learning curve with focusing. Coming from 2 previous Nikon Dslr's (D50, D200), I thought I had it all under control. Because of the very high resolution, the D7K will show the result of camera shake more readily than previous models, so practice your hand holding. Once you get it, the images will blow you away. Lots of really convenient features that real photographers use. Being able to set it up with several different configurations all available from one button or menu press is a great feature. Enjoy!!
