I bought the Nikon D7000 camera roughly a year ago and have been shooting quality images with it. I even have a wall filled with 20x30 prints that came from it while shooting in RAW. The botton layout is well done and the ability to program function buttons really means you can setup the camera for your shooting style. The EXPEED 2 processor coupled with the 16MP CMOS sensor produces good files provided you got most of your framing, composition and exposure done right in camera vs working it out on the home computer.
The D7000 dual SD/SDHC/SDHC card slots allow you to pretty much shoot all day long with out having to swap memory cards mid shoot and miss something. I have it setup the second SD slot as overflow from the first. You can use slot 2 as direct copy, shoot one RAW and JPEG to the other or shoot stills on one and video on the other. And the ability to accept SDHC cards means you can head out with dual 32 gig cards. The camera can shoot up to 6fps which I like and take advantage of a lot. If you plan on doing back to back bursts however you will notice that the read/write buffer of the camera is a bit slow and lagging. I recommend upgrading your memory cards at least once a year to the highest available Read/Write Class. The majority of my memory cards are Sandisk Extreme Class 10 cards. Uping from a Class 4 or 6 will make a difference in how many frames you can shoot and the buffering time between bursts.
D7000 has 39 auto-focus sensors, out of which 9 are a cross type. I will shoot AF-C mostly with my wide angle to make sure I have most of the image in focus. For my longer lenses I will manualy select the focus point via the AE-Lock button which I have set up as the focus trigger. Switching the focus to the AE-Lock button from the shutter release button has cut down on the camera hunting for focus during pans or tracking fast moving object.

The plastic fantastic is many photographers first fast aperture lens. And at $100 price point its a great addition to your camera bag. It is a popular portrait lens on FX (FUll Frame Bodies) and when attached to a DX (Crop Sensor) it effectively become s a 75mm focal length, giving you some distance to your subject. The fixed prime has good optical performance. For me the f1.8 was really the first lens that introduced me to bokeh, background blur and depth of field.
COmbined with the reverse ring you can even make it into a macro lens
