Same layout as my other camera D700 - I was losing too many shots on the D7000 fiddling around for buttons and wheels. This was also due to the fact that I used to shoot with the D300 before I got the D700. 2. Cropping ability - with the cropping ability at 36MP, I could turn a 400mm into a 600mm - cheaper and much lighter than buying a 600mm!
