I currently own a d5200. Looking at the array of lenses out there, it becomes obvious that not having the autofocus motor in the body limits your choices to AFS lenses.

Whilst grabbing an off the shelf d7200 would be great, I'm more interested in the 16mp d7000.

It's got fewer bells and whistles, but if I can snaffle one with under 20,000 shutter clicks for around $300, I can't go wrong, can I?

The limitations are mainly in ISO levels from what I can tell, the lower MP in the sensor is also there, but how many pixels are enough? I won't be printing anything over A4 size, if I print many at all. Also it appears the batteries are different so that some of the knick-knacks that need to be sorted out again

I'm interested in any thoughts that anyone has.
