Wait until the price of the D7000 drops is the best advice we can currently tell you. At the moment is the similarly priced D300s still a big improvement if you intend to use it mainly as a DSLR. The D7000 only gains slight advantage if you shoot a lot in low light environments where the higher ISO will benefit your goal. Also for video performance the D7000 has elements that surpass the D300s in possibilities. On the other hand, the D300s had the advantage of combining memory formats, whereas the D7000 is locked to dual-SD. This last point may be an absolute no-go for the serious photographer out there.
If you already have a collection of Nikon lenses or just like Nikon for its supreme image quality, you are probably better off with a D300s. Yet, if you haven�t got any relation with Nikon at this current point, we do recommend you looking at Canon�s lineup. The Canon 60D priced much lower than the Nikon D7000 has almost the exact same features, yet higher ISO, more megapixels and in our tests had a slightly better battery life.
From a price perspective, for about 1149/1199� you get the most bang for your buck with a Canon 7D., which is even better than Canon�s 60D and surpasses Nikon�s higher level D300s in general performance. The Nikon D7000 is absolutely not a bad device, it just isn�t carrying it�s ideal price tag yet.
