    I alway watch your videos I know I get a truthful review.
    I use a NIKON D7000. I paid £1500 about three months ago. I find that it's well made good menu I also use the NIKON SB900 it's used a lot and I've never had the over heating problem that's supposed to have. I also use a a Tamron 70-300 zoom lense my main kit lense is 85-105. However I have heared Snapchick saying the D7000 was an entry level camera. My opinion, no way is the D7000 an entry level camera. It's a mid range or semi-pro.

    It is an entry level camera...
    That's not something that the user defines, that's who Nikon made the camera for and most people would agree that it is an entry level camera.
    A mid range or semi pro camera would be the D600.
