This is for the folks that have doubts on the D7000 or D7000 vs another camera.
I'm a new member here and a semi-pro sports photographer.
I've read a lot of post on if I should get a D7000 or not and the capabilities of the D7000.
I'm not made of money so I had to get the best buy for the buck.
Please understand I'm not boasting but I think showing some pics will let people see what a D7000 can do.
All these were taken with D7000, ambient light and high iso.

yes great ..what focus setting did you use ??

I used the 39 pt dynamic area setting.
I've tried the single, 9 and 21 pt. But the 39 gave me the sharpest pics.
When shooting horizontal I leave the focus selector point in the middle.
When shooting vertical I move the focus selector point one up from center when shooting basketball.

Thanks.
Lens used in pics 1,2,4 was a 80-200 2.8 Nikon two ring lens. #3 pic I used a 85 1.8 Nikon lens.
I always use af-c in sports.
Push info button first to see camera settings on display
Set 39 pt dynamic area by pushing the button on top of the AF/M switch (reach around front left of camera). With the button pushed in, turn the f stop wheel till you see all sensors lite up in your display( not auto). As you turn the wheel you will will see spot, 9, 21, 39, 3D and Auto.
