Upgraded To Nikon D7000

I have posted a couple of months ago that I was planning to upgrade to FX format camera. With the release of the Nikon D600, I thought it was within reach. The D600 body was not very expensive, however, I do have to change all the lenses that I have as well. I happen to find a Nikon D7000 that is being sold at Kijiji for $900. I offered $700 and the seller accepted. It had around 10,000 shutter actuations. That is probably why the seller agreed to what I have offered. I am not worried though because the camera is rated to do 150,000 actuations. I have a Nikon D5000 camera that I have for more than 3 years and I have not even reached 5,000 actuations. I believe I made the right choice. One thing that I like about the D7000 is that it has high-image-quality full HD movie recording of 1,920 x 1,080/24p. It is fast and quiet. The battery consumption is great. I charge its battery half the time I used to with the D5000. It also is compatible with a almost all Nikon lenses available in the market. I am very happy with the purchase.
