This is one of the dumbest posts I have ever read. They are not even close to "imposing" their beliefs. If a store is closed on Sunday, are they imposing anything on anyone?

Anyone who has been in the photographic field for more than a few weeks knows the B&H policies. Hardly a big deal.

You have come out of your closet - you are a bigot. I am so disappointed in you.

:thumbup: Until I recently got my D7000, my D200 was my primary. Talk about grain. Anything beyond ISO 400 looked like a sand sculpture. I'm still getting used to being able to raise the ISO to 800+, it opens up a whole new world of options. I was the first one to yank the chains of people that were constantly upgrading. Once my backup D70 started having issues, I HAD to get a back up for weddings. Now, I am looking forward to another D7000 as a back up. GREAT camera.

That being said, Brian has it correct, when you have a camera that doesn't do well in low light, the absolute worst thing you can do is under expose. When in doubt, over expose a bit in RAW and then recover the highlights.

In case you have not figured it out Captain is actually a very talented professional photographer and I believe he also chairs the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization which is a highly respected organization of professional photographers that volunteer their services to parents who have lost their new born infants (I'm sure its a gut turning job, with small children at home I know I could not attempt this job).

Trying to blast him for telling a new photographer that there is more to getting professional looking image than simply taking your shiny new camera out of the box is like telling a 16 year old there is more to driving nascar than passing your learners permit test and borrowing dad's station wagon.

I'm sorry if you are offended, but think of it this way... every time some smuck gets a new camera and posts about opening business, charging people for crappy images and then asks questions about what settings to use, the professionals, like myself and Captain (who is well beyond me in knowledge and skill) are just as offended.
