SCΛRE CROW 04:33, 26 April 2011 (UTC) So, I'm going ahead and creating a separate line. However, I'm not sure if this is part of a product line restructuring, which would become more clear down the line. Jovian Eye talk 15:37, 24 April 2011 (UTC) Right now, the D7000 seems to be the start of a new line of DSLR and deserves its own category. I feel a separate line should be created for the D7000. I agree with SCΛRECROW that D7000 seems to be a new line of DSLRs.

The current form of the template suggests that D90 is replaced by the D7000 and that D90 is out of production. Fletcher ( talk) 22:36, 21 September 2010 (UTC) I disagree with placement of D90 and D7000. But I haven't seen evidence that will happen, just the observation that the D7000 is fairly competitive with the D300s.

What would be interesting is if the D300 line gets the boot, if too many pros and prosumers have jumped to FX. Over the last few years they've had two midrange models above the entry level and below the high end D300 line, and this pattern seems to continue. It's hard to believe Nikon would release another midrange camera that does directly replace the D90. After all, it has the screw drive motor and top LCD in a midrange SLR. As far as the template is concerned, it's probably safe to treat the D7000 as the replacement for the D90. But the D5000 is also upmarket from the D60. The D7000 is upmarket from the D90, while the D5000 is downmarket. So should we also call it the D90 replacement in its article? SCΛRE CROW 10:25, 15 September 2010 (UTC) Nikon is not offering drop-in replacements for their model lineup. Sergey Shandar ( talk) 10:21, 15 September 2010 (UTC) Okay. We will see later is it a new line or a successor of D90. Should we introduce another class of camera for the template? Or am I interpreting this sentence incorrectly? SCΛRE CROW 09:28, 15 September 2010 (UTC) In Nikon's D7000 press release, it says that the D7000 "a model that introduces a new line of mid-class Nikon DX-format digital-SLR cameras.". Green indicates a camera using an FX Sensor. Vote on template format Option 1 Nikon Digital SLR Timeline
