Nikon D7000

[Si.]

Looking at buying a Nikon D7000 and getting back into Photography (haven't owned a DSLR since I sold my Nikon D70 about 5 years ago).

Are they still top of the game in the £5-600 price bracket, or is there anything better to consider.

Si.

I can't find a D7100 for that price, there all a good few 100 dearer (I'm talking of the kit price, not just the Body).

 

[Si.]

I wish I could, but £650 is pushing my budget to the max.. Would I be better going for a different model at that price range? D5300 maybe?

 

[Si.]

Looking at prices again, the 7100 is a LOT dearer than the 7000 (unless I go for an import).

Ordered a D7000, should be here on Friday.

Was tempted with a grey import but decided against it.

Hmm, the one I ordered off Jessops earlier is showing as '1 on backorder' on the tracking screen, but showing as in stock on the product page,

Bugger, mine is showing the same thing..

It better get dispatched today or I'm cancelling the order. Hate it when websites list them as in stock when there not.

 

[Si.]

I've confirmed mine will be shipped today.. so all is good.

 

[Si.]

No sign of it being shipped yet..

.. remind me never to order from Jessops again.

I'm going to call in the AM and cancel. I hate it when companies mess people about, shows lack of respect for the customer, I might as well go for a cheap D7100 grey import instead.
