I think you will be fine with the D7000, I preferred the D300 for sports but that was just me.

Hmmm D300S fitted with 80-200 2.8 should do wonders .. Thanks now more things to research MORE ADDED 4/21/12 11:05 AM .. B&H has none of the following in stock D300S , D700 , D7000 and with no D400 coming I want to scream. I wouldnt upgrade till after end of june anyway but man what are they waiting for ? Im no pro I cant afford 2500 for a new body . Honestly 1800 is about as high as I dare go ... Severly annoyed now

In fact it was one of my disappointments with the D7000 and we had lengthy debates about this on the old forum, with Phil and Ed. The other difference, already mentioned, is that it doesn't snap into focus as well as the D300. Having said that, I rarely used the D300, prefering the D3 FX format, and so I have been happy to add the D7000 for general photography and occasions when I need DX. Never been bothered by C speeds or video.

I have to agree with Eric as I felt the same after using both the d300 and the d7000

I don't know how the D3100 compares with the D7000 but I find the noise from that is gritty and objectionable compared with the D200. Being fairly fine noise it responds well to noise reduction but then the detail goes, so back to square one.

If it has the same focus as the D800 and D4 (which it will) that will be make a huge difference for a sports shooter, just easier to get that bang on focus you need quickly.

Being fairly fine noise it responds well to noise reduction but then the detail goes, so back to square one. Not sure if the D3100 is different to the D7000. From day one (you will recall my discussions with Phil?) I questioned the colour fidelity of the high ISO noise of the D7000. Under mixed and uncontrolled lighting it can introduce colour 'blotching' which may not be as obvious or objectionable to many but personally I preferred the D300 purity, more film grain like appearance. Having said that, I have come to enjoy the results from the D7000. I have even gotten use to the smaller body size! it's a very capable body under most circumstances. I only use the D200 for IR so can't compare its noise colour to the other cameras. But it does also seem to have more film grain like noise.
