I know Nikon have had issue with manufacturing... but it does seem surprising how few places have any D7000s. Amazon aren't selling direct - only fronting for other sellers, B&H is out of stock, Dixon (a big UK electronics retailer) told me they've stopped selling them - as opposed to being out of stock!

Are there rumours of a D7100?? I'm not looking for an upgraded D7000, it seems to tick all the right boxes. I'm just surprised at the lack of availability...

    The flooding in Thailand late last year may have something to do with this. I remember reading that Nikon was one of the companies affected by this.

    I ordered one from Calumet on Dec 26, and it arrived a couple of weeks ago.

    It incredible how long it's taken to get back to full production - can't imagine what it's like for those living there...

    Because of the Japanese battery issue, they might release one very soon. I don't remember where I heard that (maybe Thom Hogan?), but the battery issue seems to be a big deal.

    I think D7000's battery was actually safe with that issue.
    I believe the D700/300/90's ENel3 batteries were deemed hazardous due to their exposed leads(?).
