Got a D7000 for a friend recently, shot a few hundred frames for testing - really nice small camera, definitely worthy D90 replacement. After some consideration, the walk around lens of the choice became Sigma 17-70 2.8-4 OS. Reason - faster by 1 stop, smoother bokeh, "almost macro" and costs 300 eur <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Plus a 50mm 1.8 to accompany it.
Tried that underexposing thing by the way, shot at -6 stops (jpg looked black) and iso 100, then recovered from raw. Tonal range of recovered image was visibly poorer (somewhat similar to point and shoot cameras), but definitely usable.
Yeah, and take a look:
