    How did you get your ISO down to 100 on the 7D? ISO 200 is the lowest i
    can go on mine.

    But don’t forget how old it is too 🙂 It’s actually still a decent camera.
    People still use Nikon D100s as their main body, so why not a 10D. But a
    10D is nowhere near the 7D’s abilities, of course.

    Yeah you are probably right. I think with today’s photo editing software
    like iPhoto, Aperture & Lightroom – shoot in RAW make the most sense. But I
    hear you. If you want to shoot happy snaps ready to share off the camera
    then shoot JPG.

    @sim2lew Nice that you had that option. Most people don’t.

    I use this crap lens nikkor 18 105mm it says it,s a bad lens in low light
    situations it,s slow and not sharp for portrait The only problem why my
    pictures isn,t sharp in low light is because the lens which I use I always
    use higher iso if I shoot in dark places or in the night maybe prime lens
    would make my portrait pictures better.in low light I only use videolamp at
    at dark places for video recording I have a flash on my D700 do I need to
    buy another Flash.? Thanks

    7d body. Not a beginner to photography though. 12 years since I sold my

    even so called “entry level” dslr’s like the nikon d3200 or canon t3i are
    capable of professional looking results in good conditions. The pro cameras
    differentiate by being either more specialized or just working better in a
    variety of different situation like low light or having higher burst rates
    for capturing action sports or wildlife. Most of the cameras deemed pro are
    also a full frame sensor which is roughly 40% larger than a crop sensor
    found on entry to prosumer level dslrs.

    shoot with the nikon d7000 in professional quality pictures. what,s
    actually the difference between pro and amateur camera is that the image

    I’ll leave it to others to comment on the D7000. I’d call the 7D a prosumer
    camera.

    2:05 – 2 stops from F/2.8 would be F/5.6, not F/3.5 (which actually is 2/3
    of a stop from F/2.8)
