I bought myself one of these recently released beauties as soon as the price dropped in Aus. The D7000 comes highly recommended by some serious underwater photographers and I felt it was a worthwhile upgrade from my D80.
Here are some of the features that attracted me.
Full 1080p video with continuous autofocus. Don't know how effective that AF will be, I suspect it will be far from perfect and I'll be using it as single AF rather than continuous.
Live view, looking forward to trying it underwater.
Very fast AF for still shots (not live view), I'm expecting this to be great underwater.
14bit RAW which apparently means much smoother sunburst rendition.
Startlingly low noise at higher ISOs, which will be good for my split levels at 400ISO.
Intervalometer for time-lapse recording. This will be fun underwater and above.
2 SD card slots, for backup or overflow or separating jpegs and RAWs
3" screen and 100% viewfinder, both bigger than the D80.
More on how it all works in real life in the next post.
