Hi,
Just want to see how many people here bought a D7000 to replace their D90.
And do any of you regret or glad you did that???

I did, and I am happy. (And so is the wife, she got to upgrade from the D60 to the D90 :P ) ... Happy wife, happy life ?

Happy wife, happy life....aren't you the lucky man.
it's a win win situation. good job on that one.
so how do you find the D7000? coming from a D90 user
All the D7000 must be out enjoying there cameras if you have time please let us know was it worth the jump D90 to D7000
The tech in the D90 is probably about 3 years old now (it was released in Sept 08), so the design phase would make it about 3 years. The D7000 is new, and camera tech is advancing at a huge rate, so the D7000 just for that would be worth getting over a D90.
However any camera upgrade has to be done for the right reasons. What is it about your D90 that is restricting your ability to take great photos? This question is not about your skills as a photographer, but about the actual D90. When you can answer that question with valid reasons, then an upgrade is warranted, but if you want to upgrade cause you 'want a better camera to take better photos', then you need to look at YOU, not the camera, The D90 is quite capable of producing stunning results.
Two ambiguous paragraphs? Yep, but that was on purpose to make you think about your reasons for wanting to upgrade!

When you say 'hit and miss'.. why? is that the result of the camera, or the operator. Getting a newer camera will not, in most instances make your results better, you need to understand why those photos are hit and miss, and what YOU are doing wrong. The D90 is quite capable of taking sports photos, so I would suggest you need advice on how to improve your sports photos rather than a new camera. Post some of them to the Sport forum and get advice.
I'm happy to help you with your sports photos, and i assure you that after having a go with a D90, and I have a D300s and a D3, that it's more than adequate for most sports

first sugestion is to take it out of p-mode. try aperture priority mode and open the perture right up. you need a fat shutterspeed and the camera will adjust the shutter speed to get a well exposed shot. if you notice the shutterspeed lagging due to poor light then bump up the iso... the d90 will take good quality shots at iso 1600.
just ask questions, thats the main thing....
the only reason i'd bother upgrading is if shooting movies was important cause the d90 wont auto focus in movie mode while the d7k does, and if i wanted to be able to shoot at really high iso cause thats what the d7k is good for. generally iso 1600 on the d90 is really quite good and even 3200 if the light is ok.
Head over to the NTP tutorials
You need to get off "p" to shoot sport as you need a fast shutter speed, over 1/500s anyhow and af-c and understanding how to focus on moving objects
I have a D80 and am really looking forward to getting the D7000. I want live view for macro as my eyesight is not as good as it was. A faster shutter speed can be used because of higher iso performance. Twin SD slots, not too concerned with the video but will have a play with it. Might be my start in becoming a bigtime movie maker and make heaps of money that I can waste on stuff that I don`t need....
Good to see. Taking advice on board and using it, is the way to improve, well done for taking our comments on board, not buying new gear. Once you have mastered moving objects, start posting some for us to critique. They look at other sections of the New To Photography Forum, it is there to help guide you to better photography, along with posting photos and acting on the feedback, the two together should be able to get any budding photographer to a fairly good level of photography.
