Definitely the D7000 for picture quality and low light usage. The image quality of its sensor really overshadows any small annoyances like AF point numbers. It's even got a magnesium alloy body which its predecessor (D90) did not have. This is a huge benefit for UE as you can get into some fairly precarious situations. The 24-70 is definitely the lens to get, just be aware that it might not go as wide as you would like it to because you are shooting a crop sensor. On my D700 its perfect for UE and the only other lens I carry is a 50mm 1.4. On a crop sensor, like the D7000 or D300S you might feel the need to also carry an ultra wide angle lens like a 10-20. |
Thanks, but I have a quick question about this. Only a small part of my photography is UE. Most of the rest is event photography, e.g. concerts, public gatherings, and such, so should I still get the D7000 instead of the D300s? I'm asking because I've read about the AF not being as quick as on the D300s, especially in low light, and a tendency to blow out some details in bright light if exposure compensation isn't used. For the record, I'm not looking for a reason to not get the D7000. I just want to get something that'll best suit my needs in a majority of the situations in which I'll be using it.

| | | Shooting events and concerts would probably stress the need for a camera that performs well in low light. When I shoot live shows, I'm shooting between 1600 and 2500 ISO. Comparing the sensors on DxO Mark (Below), it seems that the D7000 blows the 300S away in that department. Heres my OPINION: A lot of lenses, including the 24-70, have an internal focusing motor. The "S" in AF-S stands for Silent Wave Motor. Because the lens is doing the mechanics of focusing, I believe that when it comes to focusing speed, it will be dependant on the lens moreso than the camera. As for blowing out details in bright light, the 7000's sensor has a greater dynamic range so I would think that it would be less of an issue with the 7000 over the 300S. Retail stores don't have amazing lighting, going to the store, and actually trying both cameras with the same lens will probably give you a pretty good idea of a real world situation in terms of shooting events. Personally, I would choose the D7000 over the 300S without thinking twice.
