Nikon D7000 (with 18-105mm lens)

Pros: Versatile, accurate, fast. Image quality is stellar thanks to 16mb resolution, excellent exposure system, solid autofocus (manual focus is easy too with bright viewfinder), VR controls camera shake, and Nikkor lens optics.

Cons: No technical complaints. All of my pixels are working fine. Because the D7000 has so many features it will take time to put them all to good use. For now the camera knows how to take better pictures than I can in the manual mode.

Summary: This camera is wildly capable. It takes great pictures in candlelight, it takes great pictures outdoors. With a little trial and error I found exposure settings that made previously impossible pictures POP. The 18-105mm lens works well, the 70-300mm is a blast. Any amateur and most part-time pros will find everything they need in this camera. The D7000 will probably find a home in some full-time pros kit as well.
I haven't tried the video features, I will leave that to others to review.
My comments are from real hands-on experience - I own it. It was worth the wait.
