Value for money - Hot. Innovation - Not.
At $1200 and carrying the "Nikon" label, the D7000 is going to totally smoke the Olympus E-5, Pentax K-5 and even the (underrated IMHO) Canon 60D. However, I couldn't find a single new feature in the Nikon that hasn't already appeared elsewhere. Not that aforementioned competitors are any better in this regard, but I would have expected a camera with so much buzz as the D7000 to be more than just a rehash of existing technologies.
