Taking photos in low light
Moe-A | Asked  a year ago | Last response was 5 months ago

Hello 

This is my first time buying DSLR and I really do not know which one to choose! 

I tried the 60D and I liked it and I liked how it feels in hand! 

I see a lot of reviews comparing them and most of the time the D7000 is the winner. 

I will like to take pic in low lighting, I will be using it when I travel so I will take a lot of pic of the city at night. 

Which camera do you recommend for Moe-A?

Nikon D7000 - $897
16.1 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD
Canon 60D - $699
17.9 MP|APS-C CMOS|3" LCD

    I'm a canon shooter, but between these two, for low light work, nikon takes advantage.

    for the job to be done does not rely solely on the camera body, much of the task is played by the lens. better for you to grab a D7000 and make a feel with it in your hands. ask yourself which you are comfortable with. also fiddle around its UI (menus, buttons, etc.) then make a comparison with the canon. i was at your shoes before, chosing between the two. but i finally decided on nikon. i love the grip on my hands and the UI for me is friendly to my taste. i like its noise handling capability too.

    Doesn't matter, buying fast lenses will get you higher image quality than any camera with a high ISO setting.

      I think the Nikon performs better given the higher iso values

      I think Jacob's pointing out that if you use a faster lens to get more light instead of higher ISO you'll get a better quality image. E.g. shoot at f/1.4 ISO 200 will look better than f/2.8 at ISO 800.

      Exactly, Thank you for clarifying Alex. The point I was trying to make was that moe should not get all caught up in the High ISO hype and, instead redirect some of his cash flow toward some quality lenses with larger apertures than the kit lenses.

      A lens with a larger aperture will allow you to use much lower ISO levels than a small aperture lens. Why don't you compare the image quality of an image taken(with any camera of the same scene) with ISO 200 at f/1.4 versus an image at ISO 3200 at f/3.5? I'm certain that you will see a much higher quality image from the faster aperture setting.

      What is the point of that comparison? Those are two different exposure levels. Did you mean f/3.5 @ ISO 1250?

      Those exposure levels are incomplete anyways. You can get equivalent exposures by adjusting shutter speed. Even so, the difference at ISO 1250 vs ISO 100 would be quite noticeable.

      my apology Jacob, I read faster while you meant more light output, my mistake. and you've got it absolutely right. But the question was about the bodies and not about the lens type, but the combination is important for a good shot. the Nikon and a lens with a larger aperature value

      Well, not necessarily. There are images where you need depth of field, and there are cameras with unnoticable noise at ISO 800.

    There are less megapixels in a larger sensor (not larger by much, but even a millimeter counts), so more light goes through.

    Your on the right track at least, even with canons "expanded iso settings" the Nikon respectably best the canons, even upgraded models, on bit-depth, and low light shots, I also feel and know, the Nikons way of focusing and "weighting" the scene, uses a much much more sophisticated way to measure and focus, the latter is with a new proprietary efv sensor where canon still uses B&W and  grey shade, I have taken incredible shots in low light, I actually use the 7000 on my telescope, and have suprised people much more involved then I on more the. One occasion with a D7k, you at least know what your looking for, and the d 7000 does so much better the. The canon your looking at even at DXArk or any of the. "competitive websites to compare camera's.
