Looks pretty sweet. It's like a DX D700 with higher FPS (without the grip on D700).

Yeah, I saw that earlier. Seems like a great camera. I think my brother may get that in near future to upgrade from D700. Who knows.

I don't think it's an "upgrade" from a D700. It's equal to a D700, but at less than 50% the price.

39 pt AF. Holy crap!

D300 and above has 51af points.

Congrats, that looks like a nice camera..... :)

I don't own it... it was just announced last night.

Lol, upgrade from D700? How is going from FX to DX an upgrade? It's not even an equal. ISO numbers might be the same, but the quality is far worse than that of D700. Look at the ISO 3200 samples posted by Chase Jarvis.

It's not what I meant... I wasn't talking about to trade in for D7000... I meant my bro can use D7000 for something else. Since D700 do not have D-movie feature in it. He may get D7000 if he's interested in it. He likes D700 a lot but no movie feature. He would like to make some short movies.

Why do people feel the need to have hd video on cameras like this. I would rather have better function than hd video, for the same price.

What "better feature" would you like them to add? I believe that given the sensors going into these cameras to make them the cameras they are, HD video is basically a freebie for the manufacturer.

Some movie/TV directors use their DSLRs to make TV shows or movies. Did you hear about the "House MD" director that he used his DSLR for the final episode while back?

They use their either Nikon or Canon cameras. House MD director uses Canon 5D Mark II.

I made some videos with my DSLR. My brother borrows my camera sometimes since he doesn't have video feature in his DSLR.

I'm tired of people complaining about video on DSLRs. It's been TWO YEARS. Get over it, seriously. Go complain other places. Many MANY people use video on their DSLRs. The HD video on my D90 has payed for itself in stock video sales on places like pond5.com and istockphoto.com.

It basically rivals the 7D at 60D prices. Sweet WIN for Nikon.

Well, In the UK you can get a 7D for ?999.98 and the 60D ?839.98 where as the D7000 is ?1,089.99. I mean, its not that much more considering how good the specs are, It only matters if you are canon or nikon already :p
