Jim, for your kind of work I am wondering if the buffer and lesser focusing might actually be a problem area for you?
I am betting the up and coming D400 might be a better choice for someone like you with an action twist toward their photography. Still DX and less expensive but using the tech from the upper line that lends itself for more aggressive moving targets.

I'm the proud owner of a new D7000. The issue about photo size isn't a big problem with software like OnOne Software's Genuine Fractals (Now Perfect Resize) Photoshop plug-in. I've been using it for nearly 20 years. The D7000's 16 mpix is more than enough to allow for clen shots at ISO 4500 enlarged to poster size.

Hey Roman,
I feel entirely the same way. It was one of the reasons why I picked up the Olympus Pen E-P2. When I need a SLR or something with a lot of megapixels, I have the Canon. For walking about and taking photos, I always have the Olympus right where I need it.
12 Megapixels is all I need for most applications. Shoot, I remember working to get 16x20s out of my old Canon D30 (3.11 mp) and they looked pretty good if I was willing to put some work in it.
My goal, as much as possible, is just to have the absolute minimum I need to carry around to get 'the shot.' It take photos a lot more because it is always in my bag. LOL, sometimes they stink, but that is another story for another day.
James
