D7000 update

People keep asking so here’s the deal: yes, Nikon finally fixed my D7000.  Focus works acceptably.  However, it’s not as good at low light as my D700, so I’m looking at selling it and getting another D700 or maybe a D800.

All in all, it’s a pretty damn good camera.  The quiet shutter is almost indispensable.  The video is superb.  High ISO looks better than the D90 it replaced.  The battery life is great (I usually never get past the AAs in the grip!).  It’s not a bad camera.  It’s just not what I need right now.

The video slack is being taken up by a pair of GX1 bodies.  I’ll post a review of them and their capabilities soon.  Anybody interested in my D7000, please call or email!

I will say that the D7000 did well at my last two weddings.  I feel confident it works now.  But I just really like my D700 that much better.  Video doesn’t need to be on the same device for me.

…a parting shot from the D7000.
