Thanks for that Jim, I've forwarded the link to my husband, he's been considering getting one of these.

Another review here:

Natural Art Images: Brad Hill: Field Tests: Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRII

from Brad Hill. A Canadian nature/wildlife pro photographer and long-time Nikon user who tells it how he sees it.

Also has a great Gallery of photos - well worth a visit.

Interesting stuff. The D7000 is using that cracking new sony sensor in Pentax K-5 and the funky new Sony prism camera and its high Iso performace is the best on a cropped sensor, at the moment anyway - that might change next week!
It will be interesting to see what Nikon do with the D300s successor, which will presumably use the same sensor? Unless o course something better arrives by then

Although I’ve only had the D7000 for 3 weeks I can say that it ‘does the business’ so far!

Well worth considering for anyone jumping from the D80 / D90 and it will certainly match or better the performance of the D300/S in some areas.

Thanks for all the info, hubby is looking to upgrade from a D40X, he had been looking at a D90, but heard about the D7000. We also have a D200, which is a great camera, but just too heavy with lenses to carry up mountains wih the other gear we need.

If he decides to get one, which I think he has, I'll get his D40X, I use the D40 at the moment or the D200 if I'm not walking too far, which is great with the macro lens.

Regards, Audrey.

I fully agree Audrey. Looking with interest at the 7000.

John,

Any chance you could mail me an iso 800 image with no sharpening or noise reduction? Sorry to be a bit cheeky. Would like to compare with the D300 I have.

regards.
Stu.

Hi Stu

When the weather allows I'll take some images and email you. I should point out that the Raw files can be 20Mb
