Hi Damien,
Having purchased a D7000 last week, I’m still getting to grips with it.
I just did a quick test for you though at iso3200 in relatively low lighting (living room with dimmer light down low), using the AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D.
Settings were 1/20 shutter with f/5, white balance-incandescent and it came out relatively clearly, a bit of noise, but nothing that would render the image unusable! If you’re shooting at a gig, where there will be various light variations, I believe it would be very acceptable. I’m going to a gig tomorrow, and would love to test this theory but apparently no photography is allowed and I’d be a bit scared of bringing my new kit at the moment anyway.
I’m no professional and upgraded from a Nikon D40x so I think maybe I’m just still overwhelmed by how incredible the D7000 is compared to that!?
Hope that is of some help…

Thanks for the advice people! I’ll have to look at all the pros, cons and price and just bite the bullet. I do like lowlight photography and by all accounts the D7000 is good with higher ISOs so that may just be decision made! Thanks again…
