Hi folks,

My opinion, lightly based on scant experience ;

If you take RAW photos and want solidity : Nikon D7000 is an impressive camera.

If you take Jpegs and want a tilty screen : Sony

That's interesting because I often read that Sony's SLTs produce rather soft jpegs. I plan on shooting jpeg + raw. The jpegs would be to quickly show to friends and family upon returning from vacation and then I could play around with the raw files.

As for tilting screen, I don't feel like I need it. If the camera has it, great, if not no big deal. I just want the camera to have good screen (hi pixel count), and I believe both if these cameras have a great screen.

Keep in mind that camera's in this class are meant to shoot in RAW with jpeg just a nice bonus.

You're looking at "consumer" features (which are nice, no bad word about features) on a say semi pro body.

Ask yourself if you will get more serious with photography and eventually will be doing serious PP and be buying more lenses and flash for example.

What kind of lens(es) are you looking for right now?

The one thing I try to point out is to try to oversee the big picture, you more or less have to oversee where this hobby is going, it can save you a lot of money (changing glass is expensive).
