Nikon D7000 Requires a Learning Curve

I purchased the new Nikon D7000 this week (it hit the stores in October/November) and have begun to learn how to use it. I've spent the last two days shooting and poking around inside the Menu and Controls and have learned a great deal. The Instruction Manual is okay, but still requires some general knowledge of photography to understand it. This is not a camera for beginners.

I'm posting some samples here to reflect my testing of the camera and its features. To see some samples of my work, go here: My Nikon D7000 Testing and Practice Shots.
