I found the same behavior when upgrading from my D80 to the D7000. I now use manual exposure mode and choose a reasonable iso, shutter speed and aperture when using flash. I let the flash balance...

I did, but am not in Australia.

I see shadow noise complaints about every new camera after it comes out. I think you can safely ignore those. :)

Just wait for the inevitable initial manufacturing bugs to be worked out. I am sure it will be a fine product after the dust settles.

I like #3 and #5.To improve #5, keep the boat in the right 1/3 of the frame.

I have seen other posts of mold growing on sensors.  It didn't look round like this, but I think it is a distinct possibility.

That would make for a huge number of menu entries if there was a direction setting for each and every parameter that can be changed by the dials.

Make sure you press the FV lock button before you press the shutter.  If you forget this step, the pre-flashes will still happen.Also remember that the pop-up flash will fire in all cases. ...

I wonder if it just manufacturing debris from the new replacement parts.  Since the oil was on the right side of the box, it is obvious there are some significant moving parts on that side.I could...

This has worked well for me.http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

Page 103 of the manual explains how to do this.

Going from a D7000 to the 5200, I would miss:1) The ISO button2) The Qual button3) The second control dial4) U1 and U2 settings on the top dial5) The ability to be a master and control external...

Glad it is working for you now.I too had problems with getting focus until I had it fixed.Nice photos too.  Disney parks are always fun.

I think the additional physical control buttons on the D7000 are often overlooked as a feature.  Menu diving when you are trying to capture a moment in flux will cause you to loose shots.  I find...

I used my 18-105 and pulled out the flash (SB-600) for bounced indoor shots.

What happens if you turn off the automatic dust cleaning on startup?  Sounds like it could be that.  Not that it should be making noise, but it may be failing.This is one of the few mechanical...

I will wait until this all shakes out before buying any more DX lenses.  We should see a clearer picture in the next two years.In the mean time, if I absolutely have to have a new lens, I would...

I had a similar problem with my D7000. Nikon replaced the switch and it worked fine after that.

I think you have that backwards.When you zoom out, air goes out of the lens/camera. When you zoom in, air is sucked in.

I think these are due to initial manufacturing problems that need to get worked out.I have had a D80 and D7000.My D80 had no problems.My first D7000 had a bad focus switch that caused it to quit...
