Nikon D80) not very effective and quick when the lighting is not enough. It slows down pretty much indoors... or maybe I haven't seen it effective usage. So, I would need a camera which would not lose the speed (significantly) when the lighting is not that great (even though increasing ISO is an alternate answer), because I cannot carry a studio along with me. :) Regarding not to jump to best, I completely agree. Its same with most electronic gadgets. (But buying best option will help you prolong your next buy big time.. good value for money too - 5Dmk II :) ) Thanks for so much information! I really appreciate it. :) Hmm.. actually, my concern was that I see some DSLR (eg. Nikon D80) not very effective and quick when the lighting is not enough.

I doubt you need those for Portaits or fashion. Other than these virtues I find 7D fails if compared to 5D mark II. Of the 2 cameras I use 90% I use 5D mark II. Being Full frame sensor gives a 5D mark II shallow depth of field which is needed for Portraits or fashion. So my choice would be 5Dmk II. Frankly there is no different between Nikon or canon or olympus or pentax. Only thing is you get stuck with the system you start with as lenses as well as accessories are not compatible with one another. There are equally good lens and bodies in all these manufacturers. Stick with any one brand. Start small and collect accessories as you need it. Don't jump and try to buy the best system with all the accessories out there becasue tomorrow all that is bound to become obsolete as the models arrive. Regards Krishna Mohan Good question Nayan,

Frankly, I'm interested in portraits and learning fashion photography, all in amateur style. :) I feel that speed is a necessity for this kind of work. Will 7D be better than 5D Mark II (if the latter is better for slower detailed photography)? I am assuming the answer is yes. I am a Canon fan, but my friend is Nikon fan. I was once told by a pro that Canon has better sensor and Nikon has better lenses. Is it correct? I also heard that the lenses made by Canon are more compatible than Nikon or others. I am all ZERO about lenses. :( Hehehe.. I think you should answer them in a new post itself as I am asking too many things. :) I am a newbie to DSLR, pardon me for that. Nice!

If you want fast camera - fast focusing and quick capture Canon EOS 7D is the best value for money and speed. But the 18 Mega pixel is too much to cramp in 1.6x Crop camera. If you want quality over speed 5D mark II wins hands down. So Slow and steady wins the race ;-) Regards Krishna Mohan Nayan
