as i said before this is a guy who knows the model range well and who's pictures first swayed me to the d7000

In some ways that doesnt surprise me.  All things being equal its a known fact that when you increase the pixel density it requires an improvement in technique to maximise that detail.

For me the D1X 6mp to D2X 12mp change resulted in a lot less keepers. Changing to the D3 12mp re-established the previous keeper rate...and some!

I feel there there is always a relearning curve that we need to follow when increasing pixels.

For me the D7000 is acceptable or rather I have probably learnt to use its higher pixel density. But its the responsiveness that is a step down from the pro bodies that concerns me.
